What nutes/addatives do you prefer? And what is your regimen? Anyone tried DM GOLD?

Just curious what all you hydro growers out there are using and what you prefer? I've seen Earls nute thread, but it's not exactly what i'm looking for. I'm just curious what all the hydro people here are using?

I'm using the following:
H202
BC Series Nutes
Hygrozyme
HydroGuard
Sweet
KoolBloom (liquid, flowering only)


Also, what kinda PPM regimen are you all running? Mine is as follows:

-Transplanting clones to veg with about 500ppm nutes.
-Work my way up to 900ppm by the end of 3 weeks of Veg.
-After 2 weeks of flowering work my way up to 1100PPM
-Keep things below 1300PPM throughout flowering
-PH Balanced tap water the last week of flowering.
(What limit is good for hydro plants? I've been really intimidated to pass 1300, but have read about people going all the way to 1800 and that just seems a bit nuts to me.)
**Using various methods of DWC, Aeroflo, WaterFarm Modules under various lighting, t5, 400whps/mh, 600whps**

I'm very happy with my results, but i've never used anything but BC series nutes. Does anyone have experiences with a variety of base nutes? Is there any sort of tried tests (preferrably not from a nute mfg) such as earls out there that compare and contrast?

What hydro additives do you guys find to work best? I'm loving my little coctail of hygrozyme hydroguard sweet and koolbloom but i'm always willing to add something more to the mix to really help maximize things. In preticular I was looking into the Dutch Master Gold Series foliar applications as they advertize to help boost yeilds and utilize more light but i'm looking for some imput from people who have actually used it!

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS!

sensi grow and bloom parts A&B

sensi grow 2 part,big bud,carboload,cannazyme,overdrive for final 2 weeks then final phase for flush.I just follow advanced nutes nutrient calc.

Took awhile, not to mention alot of $$$. But I finally found a effective simple nute. Dutch Master Gold. AN is good but very expensive, and also as with most other nute mfrs. they all try to sell you way to many additives. Ive wanted to keep it as simple as possible, so i have used with success Sunleaves Rockwool Formula 1 its a 2 part nute. A & B used from start to finish. Nothing else to buy. But you can add additives.
DM Gold is similar but you use a&b Grow and a&b flower, but this mfr. insist no other nute additives.

KEEP IT SIMPLE SMARTY

now i mix these my self and its taken me a little time and learning of how to mix them up. but if you have some knoldge of npk you will be ok. i make two diffrent mixes one for veg one for bud.

now this will only work for soil growers so my soil 3year old cow manure bm1 lime and what ever npk i want to add depending on what i will use the soil for.

in veg i only use a teaspoon of veg mix

in bud i use 1 table spoon just befor i flower them and half way thrue.

i do not need to flush my plants

this is the best i can explan it

I use DM Gold Grow and Flower....I supplement heavily.....
In Flower the 70 gallon Resevoirs use:
400ml ea part A and B
360 ml 35% H2O2
400ml CalMag Plus
40g Epsom Salts
32-96g Big Bud (depending on what week of flower)
500 ml Fulvic Acid

The Tanks run between 1470-1750 ppm again depending on what week in flower. At the end of the cycle they get a 24 hr flush with Clearex and then 4-7 days of Sweet and H2O to finish flushing while trichs ripen.

In Veg the I use 500ml ea A & B of the DM Grow
No Big Bud and 25g Epsom Salts instead of 40......ends up around 1540 ppm +,-

I tried to not supplement and kept ppm at the same level using only the grow and flower formulas but by day 6-7 I would see severe Ca and Mg deficiency setting in and the start of P and K deficiencies......now that shit is green from top to bottom from clone to bud. But it took a while to get it dialed in....I have found that a ph from 5.9-6.1 works best for me btw.

And to answer your first question I have not used the liquid light or any foliar treatments because I don't spray under HID lights and am definately not inclined to spray any plants with buds at any point.

i use general hydroponics flora series. it works exceptionally well its a 3 piece kit i reccommend any GH product. the flora nova series is the new kit they came out with thats a 2 piece kit thats supposed to be better.

you will find very quick that EVERYBODY swears by their own nutrient formula and if it works than right on, everybody uses and tweaks out their formula just how they like it......

Foxfarm nutes-grow big, tiger bloom, and big bloom (use as directed)
Crystal Foxfarm nutes (Cha ching, beastie bloomz, and open sesame)
Sugar daddy (use as directed sometimes can be used a little heavy)
Root 66 (during fearly veg)
Diamond Nectar (use throughout entire plant cycle)
Superthrive (I cannot tell you how much this nutrient has done for my crops!!!!)
Gravity (use for a couple weeks a month before harvesting)

This formula works amazing for me, it took a year and half to get it tweaked perfect but now that it is this combination grows quick, healthy, dense plants every single crop.

That is nuts!!! WOW. I'm not knocking you or anything but are you using that every single grow OR variations of that concoction ?

Nutrifield Coco A+B, Monster grow, Monster bloom, Pythoff, Liquid Lead and Budmiester have been very good to us.

GH Flora 2 part
H202
Sweet
FloraKleen

I never have ph issues and mixing nutes is a breeze. Received much better results with same strains grown using StealthHydro powdered organic nutrients.
