also HP2 is really highly recommended... and if you can't afford trinity just get a few gallons of molasses instead... though trinity does have some special stuf in it that will catalyze well with molasses and the other nutrients.
HP2 is essentially liquid bat guano, 0-4-0. its really good for giving that extra jolt to the other nutrients you're using.
the buddha bloom is good, make sure you use it a little sparingly beginning flower, when you hit mid flower you want to bump it up more because it has more carbs and other nice flower boosters, in the beginning flower you'll want to use a good 60 ml per 5 gallons then in mid flower bump that up to 80-90. I feed every other watering but you may have a different situation.

I'm growing with the RO regimen and RO potting soil. Is the acidity of the soil a problem? Should I add dolomite lime to it.I'm growing using exclusively these nutes
buddha bloom, HPK, HP2, trinity, ancient amber....
I had buddha grow but I used it up during preflowering.
and the grow is in the sig.

I've been feeding pretty damn heavy and have experienced absolutely no nutrient lockout... you don't have to really worry about acidity too much with organics, just dont' give them 4 times more one day, slowly lead up to high doses.
i used bio bloom and grow personally i don't rate the organic ones as i smoked some and found that the organic weed was harsher and tasted bad when burnt when compared to the cleaner fuller taste from the canna aqua flores which is chemical based. coin toss rly but don't think organic weed will just be better because it's organic... because it's not.... it's just grown differently.

I don't think you've tried well grown organic, sorry...this is simply not the case.... you know organics still requires atleast a 1 week flush right? perhaps the person you trieds bud wasn't flushed properly...
not that it really matters, this dude was asking about roots organic nutes, not your piss poor experiences with organics that pretty much only /you/ have. if we were to take a public poll on RIU, does organic taste better than chemical based nutes... I can already see the flood of overwealming YES.
so yeah, this makes me think that you truly haven't tried enough organics to make such claims, perhaps you should have said it like "I don't know if all organics is like this but the past few I've tried did not live up to the name..." but no, instead you come out with certainty, like no organics is going to taste good and you need your chemical based 'clean(whatever that means) nutrients....

and the fact is, there are so many variables even in organic grows that would cause the bud to not taste as good... and it may not even be the nutrients they're using, but the climate they're growing in, the soil, etc.
I mean I've tried organic cannabis that tasted like candy, then I've tried organic cannabis that was not very impressive... I have YET to blaze chemical weed that didn't have a significant amplification in harshness.
and many many many people who grew with chemicals before and switched to organics notice the same strains get them high longer, have more exquisite tastes, and a more complex high. this would only make sense because it is natural nutrients stimulating the growth of NATURAL cannabinoids.
but hey, I'm sure you're still gonna find a way to throw organic under the bus in the face of your holy hydro... hydro fools always find a way to throw the natural methods under the bus.

Do you have any opinions on Oregonism XL. I'm using that with Trinity as a catalyst.

its amazing... I use it in the beginning when the plants are first starting out, I was told by the roots guys to use it once a month, at the new moon.
its one of those things that once your roots got it it perpetuates itself and trinity helps keep them alive... you'll wanna pick up some molasses too because it'll work with the trinity in many of the same ways.

roots organic soil is the shit. allthough i feel it needs a little more perilite. but i add that to everything

they really like using coco-fiber as their aeration substance... perlite is good shit tho... I definitely needed more in my outdoor mix this year.

The molasses already in Trinity is'nt sufficient? The Grow and Bloom have molasses as well, but I'm sure you're aware of that. You use additional molasses?

yep especially with a soil medium my size... if I was only feeding potted plants I would just use the trinity and such

I'm growing in pots but I'll experiment with molasses down the road when I get some clones established. I'm still a little nervous putting solution in that reads as low as mine is once I've added the nutes, but I've heard the same opinion as yours regarding the ph. I'll keep my fingers crossed and keep you posted.
