Beautiful idea for a thread. I see so many new growers dishing out hundreds of $'s for nute lines and equipment they don't need. Growing good herb for personal consumption can be done on a budget easily.

Yeh...and most of the ppl that spend the hundreds on the whole lines, usually come out with sub-standard product cuz they're too busy trying to figure out 15+ variables. Good luck.
Like I said, waste of monayyyy!

Come on and Keep It Simple, Stoners!

Got my new fert's in today..Bought both gro/bloom maxi series..Figured one for veg one for bloom couldnt be that complicated..I know KISS .....
Spent a minute and dropped 1/2 a tsp of gro into a gallon of h20[closer to my numbers for running continuos feed in promix]..Including my well water numbers [ph 6.6-ec.19] it turned out to be ph 5.7-ec 1.05,aprox 600 ppm fert's...The numbers match up perfect to feeding GH ferts at a ratio of 3/4g-1/2m-1/4b....
As an advocate for medical mj in our state im always looking for the easyest most cost effective way for patients to be able to provide thier own medicine....This K.I.S.S method is exactly what were looking for .In our case the medium is promix hp,maxi series ferts,ph adjusters if needed and a decent ph/ec/ppm meter....
This topic was a great idea to let other know you dont need to spend a million dollars to grow yourself good weed...thanks :tiphat:
 
Mr.Nice SHIT@34 days...K.I.S.S.




and your telling me thats nothing but maxibloom the entire grow with every feeding at 1 tsp per gallon?

thats just fucking incredible....i cant wait to finish up all these bullshit nutes i have. i just cant bring myself to buy anything else for a seriously long time lol.

So far on this grow; NOTHING but Maxibloom.
Ioni has sampled everything thats come outta my flower room for the last year, he has first hand knowledge of what Maxibloom can produce. It really is that easy.

Imo, any late flower PK booster can be used. I happen to use the powder Kb beause it was given to me. BUT, I can't say if theirs much of a yield increase. For me, I notice slightly more fox-tailing and slightly more resin production.

KK, you're garden produces nicely. I'd love to see what you can do with Maxibloom!

For a one part, I'd suggest floranova...
I've had good results with 5-8ml/gallon floranova, 4ml/gallon micro throughout.
(feed, feed, flush) I'm sure a lot of people don't use the micro with FN but I like to use it until the end of week 6 to prevent any cal/mag defs and provide a little extra nitrogen.
I'm setting up one of my friends with FN/micro because he wants a really simple nute mix.

I will be trying AN sensi A+B with big bud and overdrive next run to see if it's really worth the extra money...

evlme2 showed you the flowers...here is a picture of some young'ins only 3 weeks old growing in 12 inch diameter hempy's and fed 1 tsp/gal MaxiGROW (it's only fucking $12 a kilo!). Forget the color, they're the most perfect, beautiful shade of dark green. It was the light reflecting off that wonderful satiny shine they get.

Thanks Jammin! Input in this thread is greatly appreciated.
Gotta spread the word of simplicity!
MUST NOT perpetuate the tendency to capitalize!
That is the purpose of this thread.

"If you can't make it work with Maxi, good luck with anything else."

Anyone compare using maxiGrow in veg instead of the Bloom all the way? :tiphat:
Just started the switch over from gh ferts..Ill be useing both maxi grow and bloom....my concern is watering everytime with 1 tsp per gallon will put my ec to high by the end of the run...1/2 tsp looks better by the numbers, but the results im seeing from some[evlme,ioni] make me question my own logic.....let the kiss experiment begin..:dance013:

What medium are you growing in?
Promix hp, My usual fert regime is fert /fert/h20..aprox 600ppm/1.05 ec for my promix to test out aprox 1.3-2.0 ec....Worried if i jack the dose up to 1 full tsp every feeding it will be to much....
I only water to leach once evey 4 weeks or so.Basicly to reduce salts and test...Any info on promix is apreciated...:tiphat:
 
Hey man, I like the bathroom mother room. Thinking about making a laundry room mother room so I can bud in my veg room lol. Nice to see this as the first thread rather than: AN, how much crap can you add to your res?

Anyways, Ph up is partly potassium silicate, which is what most silca products are btw. I use dyna gro protect at 2.5ml a gallon and never have to use ph up. I personally add all my silica, or ph up to my res before I mix my nutes, adding potassium silicate after calcium can cause a lockout.

I know this is all about keep it simple, but not all additives are bad. Floralicious plus, and koolbloom liquid first, then dry really help me out. Didn't care for the flora nectar or flora blend. I suggest looking at the ingredients and using google to learn about what they do. Like someone in here earlier didn't know that silica is potassium silicate which is more or less ph up. Tohigh is the man, treat whatever that guy says as gospel and you be really happy.

Peace,
Metal
