Any coco people using GO BioThrive and accessories??

So whats your experience with this stuff in coco?

I used the whole lineup w bcuzz coco.The petioles and leafs were extremly huge and strong(too bad that doesnt matter),resin was off the charts and good overall quality, but poor weight and the buds didnt get dense as I wanted.It attracts alot of gnats.More than straight minerals.I did 2x strength , and used Camg.Better than biocanna for me.I no longer see any advantage to using organic over clean minerals.Its not really organic anyway besides the name so whats the point really?Its also expensive and too many bottles!

just curious, people have said resin production increases tremendously, wonder why the weight is so weak...

i guess the point was to try something different in my super awesome new setup, the last thing i can perfect in my setup is my nutrient regimen so ive been focusing on that

I`ve read/heard of people using atami bloombastic to help fatten the flowers up with the GO line.

So far the plants are really healthy with this line im bout half way thru flower and gonna hold off on a booster to see how well it works on its own, but so far so good.

Peace

i just switched to coco for a quick winter run. b'cuzz coco pure, no perlite, except as a layer at the bottom of my pots. i was feeding with Roots Organics products but have been trying to understand nutrient profiles lately. since Roots didn't list secondary or trace elements on the bottle, I decided to play with the GO line. using 2 tsp Bloom and 1 tsp Cal/Mg from the GO line, i added 2 tsp of Buddha Grow from the Roots line and came up with a nutrient profile of:

107N-62P-140K-29Mg-66Ca

i tried to mimick the Lucas/Mel Frank/pH formula, but with ratios closer to what H3ad runs in his coco setup. i do not use the diamond black from the GO line, too thick and gunky for coco IMO, great for depleted soil mixes though. instead i use the ancient amber from the Roots line, much clearer and lower molecular weight. i use the root boost from the GO line sparingly, like 1/4 tsp/gal, and add a little trinity from roots. water from the tap sat out and bubbled for 24+hrs. NO pH'ing at all!!!

Sounds interesting. I like what I hear about pH'ing. I want to eliminate pH'ing entirely. The less I have to do the better, but only when it makes a better plant. I think no pH'ing is a step forward in making a better plant and end product.

On the feeding schedule it looks like Diamond Black and BioMarine are left on the side. I'd like to know more about the lack of yield with this stuff. Hopefully some more of you chime in...

Also what about the reservoir? Can this stuff maintain itself in a 5 gallon res for a week if its aerated correctly?

 

[tokinblackguy]

this is my first run with the GO line and also my first run with coco so i cant comment on the yield yet. i just entered bloom, so we will see. from what i read on GH's Blog, if you mix the GO line and dont use it within the hour, they recommend that you aerate the mixture, but not with airstones, bubbles are too fine. i just use my airline, no airstone attached. they also recommend that you only aerate for a maximum of 2-3 days, after that, the beneficials will begin to compete with each other and cause an unbalance. hope this helps, the GH Blog has valuable information regarding this line and how it's "supposed" to work.

3 days tops on the rez? hmmmm
