Ok so the winner of "
this stage" of the growoff was Jack's and I knew it would be, though I honestly had hoped the SNG would have won, I knew it prolly wouldn't because I kinda put the jinx in and by that I mean I deviated from my original intent.
The Dude actually designed a nute for me but it's veg counterpart was distorted, I have always said I prefer a 3-1-2 for veg and 2-1-3 for flower what fred sent me was a 2-1-3 and a 1-2-3 (speaking ratios here not values) so way back in veg I started using the 2-1-3 vs the jack's 2-1-2 seemed a bit more fair but I noticed that the Jack's plant was greener so I switched to his veg by week nutes, the Jack's plant remained a bit greener but not as much so. I then decided to try his by the week nutes instead of switching back to the 2-1-3 While these nutes work in soil they were designed for hydro (how Dude rolls) and had the high P thing goin on which you all know I disagree with,(this test did not change my mind) So by doing this I jinxed the potential for better results IMO. It is also very fair to state that yes I do know Jack's way better but I gotta tell ya that I have done some serious unreported experiments with the SNG nutes and I am truely impressed with the outcome and as I have said before will most definately add SNG to my arsenal of tools.
As to why I asked why,,,,,,it will always be true that chem nutes will beat organic nutes why because they (chem) are instantly available to the plant, so in reality that was a loaded question
It is also the reason that one of my experiments was to combine the Jack's & SNG which I am currently doing with the hedgerow and as you will see in tomorrows update this is a nute match made in heaven, the combo is just simply incredible and I will share the best way once I see it (trying several different combos) In talking with Lumi about this we are both on the same page as to combining bringing the best results.
There will be a round 2 in this growoff as once I roll the next round into flower I will use the ratios Dude designed for me which of course IMO will do better, I will have 4 GDP's and 4 MB's so I will do one with SNG only, one with Jack's only and the rest combo (this with both strains) so something to look forward to as we move this thread along LOL
THE RESULTS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jack's - 137 grams
SNG - 95 grams
THE PICS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
