I am using the flora series nutrients QUESTION thanks for any help

i wanted to know if diamond nectar/kool bloom and floralicious bloom and grow are worth buying also

I have read some good things about the Kool Bloom

alright i will deffinately invest in some, anyone else got anything to say?

by the way guys i'm using floraseries too they are bloom+micro+gro and i got 12liter reservoir here is the problem: how many milliliters should i put my 12liter reservoir??

there is a chart for this that tells you how much per gallon, can anyone else tell me if its worth buying the floralicious? what does it even do

Instead of floralicious bloom and grow, look into Floralicious Plus. It's a blend of both, highly concentrated (1ml per gallon) and can be used from seedling to harvest.

If you go with Floralicious Plus, forget diamond nectar. You're already getting humic/fulvic acids in floralicious Plus.

I'm convinced KoolBloom is the EXACT same thing as florabloom. Both have the same ppm contribution to water and the ingredients are basically the same, florabloom offering a little more. What I'm saying is that 5mls of florabloom equals 5mls of koolBloom. Don't waste your money on koolbloom as it's twice as expensive as florabloom.

KoolBloom dry is a nice product actually at 1 gram per gallon. Just make sure you have enough ppm left to add it correctly. In other words, cut back on your micro and bloom a little in order to make room for the koolbloom dry during your last 2-3 weeks.

dammit the thing is i already ordered the diamond nectar, can i use this instead of floralicious plus or should i just get the floralicious and scrap using the nectar which would suck as i already paid for it, and is kool bloom or flora bloom the same as if i just ordered dr Hornbys Big Bud or is that a completely different nutrient, i would like to get the big bud also but how would i substitute that into my mix

Diamond nectar does not offer quite the same benefits as floralicious plus. The humics are the only overlap. It's not useless, use it in veg maybe. It's just not worth the money. Floralicious plus is solid and I'd highly recommend it for your humics and sea kelp needs.

Big bud comes in liquid and powder and I wouldn't use either of them. Both have weird NPK ratios and I do not see how your plants would benefit from such an out of balance nutrient.

I think before you go spending all your money at the store on things that have cool names and colorful labels, do some reading on what plants require and how they can benefit from some of the additives currently out on the market. In short, your base nutes should be supplying all your essentials like N, P, K, calcium, magnesium, sufer, iron, zinc, etc. Your additives could include sea kelp, humics, beneficial bugs and carbs for said beneficial bugs, but these aren't required or even important like a solid, balanced base nute formula is.

so i can use only flora gro/bloom/micro and the floralicious plus for the complete grow and be succesful or is there anything else you would recomend i add to the water, because this is all i am going to have at this point

maybe it would help if you could tell me exactly what you give your plants throughout the complete cycle, this will help me as im having alot of troubles figuring out exactly what i need to add to my water to make this as succesful as i can, so far all i am doing to my water is balancing the PH, keeping a set ppm, and adding those four different nutrients at different ratios depending on what stage of growth im in

I'm going to PM you my GH feeding schedule. I promise success.

I got some Kool-Bloom as well for the "receipe" but I am not flowering yet but I do use Flora-Micro and Flora-Bloom.

Could you pm me as well? I'm using gh flora hydroguard and silica

Feeding charts for all their product lines.

Feeding chart for the Flora series.

I only use the fluorolisious plus and powdered cool bloom with my base nutrients. Wether I'm using the 3 part Flora series or the Flora nova series.
The only part of the chart I change is on the powdered cool bloom. I add it weeks 2 and 3 and 6 and 7 of flower, in the amount shown on the chart.

Good luck..
