Hey all just a quick question, i've got a couple of different strains at about 3 weeks now including two auto's, they've been fed dutch master advance a+b plu rhizotonic until now but i've got the opportunity to switch to the full gold range, a+b, add.27, zone, silica, liquid light and saturator. They're due for a feed tomorrow and was going to switch to the gold range just wondering if there would be any adverse affects or anything i should watch out for? Should i flush first? Cheers guys! Oh they're in coco btw

I'm doing the same. I'm switching from GH to FF organic so I flushed just to get all the chems out. Not that I'm an expert, but flushing never hurt my plants so when in doubt, I flush.

I'm at the point where sticking with my GH nute formula won't do any good anyway, so I'm going to switch regardless. I'm going back to FF, I had perfect plants with their entire lineup, soil and nutes.

Hey little tommy finally someone else on riu using the gold range! How have you found it so far and exactly what are you using? I did a flush with weak gold a+b and then fed with silica, add.27, zone and gold a+b and foliar fed with saturator and liquid light, the auto's responded instantly, both pineapple express, standing straight up and starting to stink, my keeper lsd and pineapple chunk haven't shown any change yet but these things have been machines from day 1 :) the other two lsd and one chunk are much smaller, slow starters are common in these strains i've heard so we'll see. But my jack herrer mother and clones, aswell as k2 clones went mad for the switch, jack went dark green and the k2's just blew out all bushy in about 3 hours, thumbs up for the gold range so far! Was pretty cheap cuz of my rep with the local store too, got the whole range, 7 one litre bottles, a bottle of budwise hormone, resi and a few more bits and pieces for the grand total of $180 :)

Since you are staying with the same company you should have no problems.

From what I have read the difference (yield/smoke) in quality basic nutes versus premium nutes probably does not justify the added expense.

Currently using DM Gold A/B, ADD.27, Silica, Zone, LL, Saturator in a high pressure aero rig. Once these are gone I am switching to DM ONE + Zone + Silica + LL/S huge money savings, will see how it compares.

Reason i stayed away from the gold one is although it is a little cheaper, you then need to add potash +, negating the saving with the regular two part. So far though, although may be too early to tell, last nights growth after the first feed and the ll! Leaves are standing straight up, the runts have shot off and my keepers are huge! The auto's are also very impressive, both 15cm tall, 18 wide, 7 sets of nodes, crazy side branching and pre flowers everywhere! They reek so good already lol dm gold rules!

Well the one flower is definately performing as wanted, the autos are covered in crystals after their first week, problem is this could be the budwise hormone spray or the rock resinator i'm using, i'll update my budwise review and write up a rock resinator one as i haven't seen one anywhere but i've watched a couple of mates use it first and smoked the end product, loved it!
