Hey guys how's it going? Im sorry its taking me so long to jump in after while this info seeking was going down.
I currently run nectar after running GO, AN Sensi, PureBlend Pro, H&G, Cutting Edge, and Cyco. After a brief hiatus, I'm back on nectar, never to look back again.
There are a few things items I had wanted to address for the community at large interested in trying nectar...
1)This line is the cheapest line out there. Not bottle for bottle. But how much volume of nutrient solution you need to feed your plants every cycle. Because all of the organic fertilizers found in nectar are enzymatically digested and so readily available, you guys should only be feeding your plants exactly the amount of water they need. I feed everyday in coco with plants in a 10 or 15 gal pots, but they only get fed 1/2gal per day; unless flushing with HH. Then flush til approx 20%-40% runoff. Also because there are literally like ZERO salts in NFTG products, I have found that you only need to make exactly enough to feed them and nothing more. My runoff was around 2%-5% on my most wasteful days.
2) Respect the Bloom Khaos!! Almost everyone I talk to about using this line has an issue with understanding how to use this product the first time out. It is meant to be used as BOTH a foliar and a soil drench, but not at the same time. You will want to use 1TSP/QT for all foliar applications, but as soon as white pistils appear, switch to a root drench application (1TBSP/GAL). IT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE PRODUCT FOR A REASON!! A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY! DONT FUCKING WASTE IT! I've had my gal jug now for 3 cycles (4 plants under 4x600w) Also, this product is very potent and seems to last within the plant a little longer than other nutrients, I water in 4-5 times per week and foliar 2-3 times per week; even though the girls eat 7 times a week.
3) Its not exact, but watch your ppms. I have found that approx half of the products can be cut to half strength with little to no risk of yellowing or starving your plants. I cut certain bottles at certain times, but whatever I do, I try to keep final ppm around 1150-1250. Then toss in some subculture, great white, and og tea (final ppm 600/veg 1300-1450/bloom, pH 5.8/veg 6.2-6.4/bloom) Closer to 6 will get you more available P, closer to 6.8 will get you more available Ca. The bottles I usually cut by 50% are Medusa, Gaia, Athena, Aphrodite, & Morpheus if you use it.
4) Far be it for me to correct Scott, but the issues I saw on some of those leaves look almost like a magnesium def. Mag has a nasty tendency to lock out with the presence of too much cal, too wet of medium, and wrong pH, as many of you already know. Using coco, feeding lower volumes, and using Demeter's Destiny will help immensely. DD has a magnesium sulfate chelating acid that allows the plant to eat traces of mag while getting yet another dose of Ca. One disclaimer about DD tho, don't push this. Keep it steady, 1-2tsp/gal. If your plants need extra Ca, push more HH, but an over abundance of Demeter's will add that undesirable snap-crackle to the final product I'm sure some of you are familiar with.
5) A few pointers of which bottles are more important than others. Leave out the Poseidon, Pegasus, Morpheus. They are great products, but the first two are only needed if you encounter an issue that actively needs to be addressed i.e. not standard feeding needs. Mega Morpheus is almost completely useless; unless you just gotta have guanos. But realistically there are Guanos in both Medusa and Gaia. Use the ppms normally alotted for MM for more Tritons or HH. And last but certainly not least, Hygeia Hydration. One of the biggest unsung heroes of this line. Use it exactly according to instructions. The plants and microherd absolutely love it and simply cannot get enough. The comments a few pages back about having outstanding flavor, aroma, and overall quality are not unique to that individual. I'm sure you have great genetics, but that world class smell and taste is a blessing experienced by the entire nectar community and a few extremely proficient organic gardeners. Something you can only achieve when you grow with the highest quality guanos, kelps, meals, and carbs offset with amino, fulvic, and humic acids.
The more you use Harvest Moon/Nectar the more you will fall in love too. Look up my instagram for more pics of nectar grown plants @therealslightlytoasted. Also big shout out to Scott and all the Nectar family boys up in Oregon. Thanks for an outstanding product guys, much love!
