I'm doing a 30 pant flood and drain system. I'm currently using Heavy 16. I went to quite a few Hydroponic stores and they were all telling me how good heavy 16 is. Has anyone ran a complete run with these nutrients?

Everyone has their own ideas. But I can show you laboratory tests of two plants. One witb humic acid and 1 without. in soil and hydroponic and the humic acid produced 20% more bud, was 20% bigger than the one without. Whatever nutrients you go with, i recommend at least one humic acid supplement, its cheap and the science dont lie.

I use jacks 3, 2, 1 hydroponic 5-12-26 fertilizer calcium 15-0-0, and epsom salt. With Growers recharge, Humboldt humic acid, root Excelurator, silica and amio acids, tribus grow microbes and separate bloom microbes, neptunes 0-0-1, and molasses. Feed daily or every other day and supplements every 2 weeks or as needed. This mix was made for me by a botanist at the university of Georgia. so far its great https://www.agtonik.com/post/2017/02/28/new-study-shows-fulvic-acid-accelerates-cannabis-growth-without-sacrificing-potency

I use heavy 16. What do you want to know?I'm having great luck with it so far. Although it is expensive you don't have to use nearly so much. The bottles are concentrated so a little goes a long way. I started with veg a and b with prime. I just bought roots and I saw a noticable difference 24 hours after using it in my reservoir and as a foliar spray. I plan on buying the foliar spray next because I hear great things about it. Supposedly it does multiple things including pest control.
I run a Titan flow and grow system. Some things to take into account with heavy 16 that I've learned so far is you don't have to ph adjust if you're using Prime. Prime is a ph adjuster. I sent them an email asking about air in my reservoir and they replied saying they recommend a submergible pump to mix the reservoir. Air will fluctuate the pH. They said you can run air but to try and limit adjusting the ph a couple times a week before your weekly water change. I don't use air and have run into no problems so far.

Jacks or Masterblend work great for hydro. You don't need expensive cannabis nutrients. GH Maxigrow and Maxibloom work just fine as well.

I agree. I started with that. Then i got interested in nutrients that ph balance themselves and that led me to advanced nutrients and now I'm trying this line. But you definitely don't need to spend all that money to get great results.

I was wondering how did the finish product come out ? I'm using the full Heavy 16 line. Also im using some other nutrients also. I had seen on the instructions not to use air pumps in the Rez.

I know this thread is a year old but has a question about heavy 16. What would you say the difference in overall difference between an connoisseur would be? Both about the same price for about a and b except an would offer ph tech. Was considering looking into some heavy in the future.
