Are you talking about the Envy 2 part? If so... isn't that 1.5 + 1.5... so 3 tsp actually? I know you have a beef with Dyna.
I notice whenever you compare anything to Dyna you sort of put a spin on numbers.
Yes, it's implied when referencing a 2-part formula, a stated dosage amount means equal amounts of A and B ,so when I say 1.5 tsp/gal it is indeed 1.5 A and 1.5 B. Read up on solute/solution calculations in a chemistry book. I may have twice the solution at half strength as say Dyna but the end result is the same if I dose at twice as much. Lets say dyna splits its' 50$ 1 gallon 9-3-6 Foliage-pro to 1 gallon of 9-0-0 and 1 gallon of 0-3-6 and kept the price at say 50$ (25$ for A and 25$ for B). To properly dose say with the original 1 part at 5ml/gal. I would dose the same amount (5ml) of A & (5ml) of B to equal that of the original: 9-0-0 + 0-3-6 = 9-3-6. Since the price is the same for 2 gallons as it is for 1 gallon of original the result is the same. Same amount of N-P-K at the same price. I hope that helped. Is that spin?
You don't need cal mag with Dyna. The increased cal and mag in Envy would lead me to believe it is made for RO water. So if you use RO water, cool. I know Homebrewer uses Dyna, no cal mag, with RO water. With Dyna and Tap water, you would not want to use Cal Mag. Envy with tap would be excessive cal and mag, I would think. (Think GH Flora Micro Regular vs Tap.. Envy has the reg (RO) levels, Dyna has the tap levels of cal and mag.
I do need cal/mag with Dyna, especially in coco. My well water is but 50 PPM. It doesn't matter what Homebrewer uses, it matters what I see and interpret what is needed. Everyone advocates that instead of blindly following others advice in matters such as this. If I recall, HB has 200ppm of analyzed water and he knows exactly what is in it so he adjusts accordingly.
I use the 7-9-5 grow along with the 3-12-6 Bloom and when mixed together, I can achieve very close to a 1-3-2 ratio. Because I use RO water, I use Magpro in hydro and have not had any issues with deficiencies at all. In dirt however, I usually feed, feed, water and on my 'water' days, I'll mix in about 3mls per gallon of calmag because RO is not ideal with my peat-based soil-less mix. DynaGro for me has been a very trouble free nutrient to use in both dirt and hydro.
It looks like the retail price on Envy (per gallon) is $60.. the same as Dyna Gro. You need to buy 2 envy, but still, 60 per gal
Envy is $44 + 15$ shipping for A&B combined. I gave you a hyperlink showing that. The same vendor charges $60 for Dyna-gro. I did not mean to try and skew the price by using the same vendor so let's compromise. I found Dyna for $52 shipped from Plighting.com. so we will call it the same price ok? However, when you look at the N-P-K as stated on the bottle, Dyna = 7-9-5, Envy (combined) = 9-6-11. That means it's stronger. Re-read my post and you will see I gave the actual PPM values based on 1.5ml/gal for Envy (1.5 A, 1.5 B) and 2ml/gal for Dyna-gro. You will see the N values are close, P leans for dyna but K goes to Envy. 75% of 2ml/gal equals 1.5ml or 25% less so Envy is 25% stronger in N and K is it not? Here is the link to the calculator click here
Looks like it comes out to 9-6-11. I'de like to hear about it if you give it a try. I've seen the stuff before. If my 1.5 + 1.5 thing is true though that would mean it is weaker than Dyna not 25% stronger.
Well I think we discussed that. I did call the company and they are sending me a quart (1 of A , one of B LOL) for $11 shipping. He said he will soon post the offer on the website and also institute direct purchases soon.
What is it you hate so bad about Dyna that makes you want to play with the numbers? I've called you out on your numbers before. I'm not calling you a liar, but, you know, you can spin a # anyway you want with the right words or a simple mistake. (3 equals 1.5...)
I don't hate Dyna as I discussed with UB, I use it in Veg, I just always look for alternatives because it's fun. I personnally don't care for the resultant taste and seemingly less density of the flower in dyna. I also don't care for the high ammoniacal N which is not totally conducive to inert grows in my setup IMO. Thats all
Possibly I'm wrong and there is an Envy 1 part, or, you are talking about .75tsp A + .75tsp B = 1.5 tsp Envy. If so, those are some damn potent nutrients. And, I apologize for jumping to conclusions.
