Hello New England! I posted this in the H&G thread as well, just posting it here to see if anyone else has any input.

Good evening all.. I just did a res change on my girls. When I got to the last bucket (i run dwc) I noticed a strong smell in the bucket as I changed the nutes. It was the old nute mix in the res.. none of my other buckets have ever had that smell. The leaves on that plant were yellowing, but I expected that at week 6 of the feeding regimen. This was my first week of using the Shooting Powder. I was reluctant, but this is my first run on H&G nutes and I wanted to do it to their schedule and adjust from there with what I learn on this round. BTW, for those interested, I figured out the formula for us mortals that don't want to mix up 25 gallons from a packet of the powder. It comes out to 3.2 grams per gallon and conveniently, a teaspoon of the Shooting Powder weighs 3.2 grams! So, that might take some of the fright out of people that are hesitant to use it because of measuring calculation. I'm gonna check that plant's rez tomorrow to see if it still stinks.. if it does. I'll just run it with clear water for a day or so and see what happens.

mgk :tiphat: (my eye is all better now..)

I just answered my own question. I thought.. when ever I smelled an aquarium with that kind of smell, it was usually because of lack of water circulation. Well, that's exactly what it was. I hope this doesn't take that plant down. What happened was the plant had choked the airline down to the point to where no bubbles were happening! I don't have any spare stones (that won't happen again), so I just chopped the airline and stuffed it down in the bucket.. I know it's not as good as fine bubbles, but it will have to do until I can go to WallyWorld tomorrow and fetch some new stones. Another good reason for my switch over to Coco!

mgk :shucks:

It appears that my calculations regarding Shooting Powder from H&G is in question. The 'sachet' weighs (minus the packaging) 80 grams. The package has contradictory information on the package. On the front it says '1-2 sachets per 100L (25 gallons)'.. on the back, it says '65 grams per 25 gallon'! Holy cow... someone needs to make up their mind! Anyway, the 'authorities' in the 'H&G... lets chat' thread have informed me that my calculations are wrong and it should be 2.6 grams per gallon. One of the 'authorities' seems to know the ingredients of the products, so maybe he's Mr VandeZwaan.. I don't know. But a few people seem to 'know' a lot more about these products and what they contain and what they do than is available to the mere mortals among us. I think I'm just gonna go back to GH and save the frustrations of obscure information and contradictory instructions.

mgk :chin:

yea, i noticed there isnt a per gal feed ratio for the shooting powder.
i also took my packet of shooting powder and did a side by side with GH kool bloom for the ingredients.
shooting powder has:
phosphate 39%
soluble potash 25%



GH kool bloom powder has:
nitrogen 2%
phosphate 45%
soluble potash 28%
mag 1%
sulfur 1.5%


i was going to try the shooting powder soon, but i dont want to mix powders. i was told advanced nutes, big buds a good booster. they make that in powder form too. im gonna try it once i find it...

Because of my height restrictions, I never let a plant get more than 10 inches tall before putting them in flower. My current WB is 2 weeks or so away from chop and it's 38 inches, so it basically did a 3X stretch. I've seen a couple pictures of these outdoors and they get massive. Shrubbery lookin stuff..

mgk :tiphat:
