WHY DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF????

[couchlockd]

i guess what im asking, is this.

have any of you dyna gro bloom users ever experienced "rocks" in the bottle.??

let me elaborate, i can find these rocks without ever opening the bottle. you have to shake it side to side and after a couple seconds, about 10 seconds, youll start to hear little hard things clank up against the side of the bottle. but you have to shake it for a good 10 seconds or so untill you start to hear them.

yeah. I have a couple of old gallon bottles that i found rocks in. still works, though.

Know one knows how important silicon is? There is at least one current thread, probably two on the subject on this forum.

Dynagro has been around for a long time. I am a huge fan of the nutrient profile provided by the Bloom formula, but it's content is high in ammoniacal nitrogen. That's not a good match for the low alkalanity of my water supply, but I do keep a bottle around just in case the pH of container grows climb too high.

As far as i know quite alot of research has been done on Silicon & its benefits/protective qualitys, it helps reduce transpiration, strengthens cells & gives a great K boost too(to name but a few pro's). I can surely say that it definately does what its supposed to do & id say that warrants the product/element as rather important. Ill have to look about for the 'Si' threads youve mentioned(have you a link Carl). Ive been experimenting with Si for the last 4 years now & im always gonna use it, its a solid part of my regimin, & has proved itself to me as a must have in my feed schedual. Continual use is required to gain its full benefits! Luv the stuff!

As for DynaGrow, yeah ive heard of them, they've been around for along time now, never heard a bad word against their stuff, id really like to give their line a go! but im very happy with my VitaLinkMax, take some beating if used properly that stuff! Its designed for UK water & i think thats always the best path to follow.
Best o Luck.........Scroger!

Rocks in Nute solutions, sounds like precipitation to me, elements are binding & dropping out of solution in their solid form, what you are seeing as rocks, that aint clever at all, if its a one part id question why its happening!? I know Ionic (one-part) produces tiny white rocks(of sorts) but i know its actually Gypsum, which is harmless to the plants & the solution apparently, & like someone said the stuff still works! I wonder if your observing Gypsum, a one part thats surly what you see, is it white/grey-ish in colour? settles to bottom in a sludge sort of form. In the past i wittnessed this with older bottles of Ionic & just filtered it out(the gypsum), never lost performance so i was never concerned!

'Something i dont get with the dynagrow for hydro is the recommended PH ive just seen on some of their charts, 6.5-7.0 for hydro, never in a million, i dont understand why the hydro charts from DynaG rec this high PH at all, is the chart wrong?(Must be), its even out for soil at the higher neutral range! V-Strange!??

How much silica is required to actually see it working? After mixing A & B(house & garden) my ph is around 4.6. At 1ml a gallon is raises it to 5.8. Everybody recommends around 5ml a gallon and if I do that it'll shoot my ph too high and I'll have to use ph down. I'm trying to avoid too many bottles!

[greenwithenvy]

I have just started last year and I've been using this plus Cal-Mag. Does anyone else use both as well? That all I use. It works great. Check the pics.

 

[_Dude]

I might have to try a side by side next time with this stuff.

I worked at Dyna-Gro for a minute and absorbed the propaganda. Although it is not well advertised the studies done indicate that less protekt, used consistently, works as well or better than more. Most plants can only absorb so much of the stuff and the rest you're effectively sending down the drain. The recommended dose is a standard that moves bottles. 1/4-1/2 strength is just fine. Re-correcting with pH down is ludicrous. After veg I only use protekt as a pH up adjuster anyway. Much love to the crew at DG, but they're in the fertilizer selling business just like every other manufacturer.

Actually, Dynagro uses 1:2:2, so its about 100:200:200 (N:K, elemental)

sorry, Im not seeing this at all, what nutrient product are you referring to? as someone laid out the NPK profile of all products

EDIT: I just wnet and looked back, are you talking about the bloom? also 200 is way to high of P, from what I know anyways???

 

[tester]

I was referring to Dyna Gro's feeding schedules, this is their regimen for drain to waist (DTW) systems. (they use the same NPK ratio for soil and recirculation systems too.)

So these are the final nutrient levels after mixing their products according to that feeding schedule, week by week.

Also, these are elemental N, P, K-s, not P2O5, and K2O.

 

[habeeb]

^ thank you, I was wondering what the DTW was in your chart. thanks for clearing that up man

After trying to decide what nutes to buy,,,,
I got the Dyna grow & bloom,,, after reading this thread I'm glad I did!!! Thanx for the info everybody!

i just switched from advanced nutrients 2 part to dyna grow after seeing a comparison thread on another forum. dyna gro bloom totally destroyed advanced nutrients connoisseur in a head to head and i couldnt believe it. the thing i want to ask you guys is does anyone ever have to use a tiny bit of dyna-gro grow in flower to stop any of the plants from yellowing. the guy who did the comparison said he uses 1 ml a gallon of the grow and then the rest bloom because his plants yellow late in flower and he says the bloom doesnt contain enough nitrogen for marijuana plants. is anyone experiencing plants yellowing from using bloom alone anytime in flower or are you guys having fantastic results and thats all you need? and im not talking about ro water

 

[bushdoctor215]

in my case running c02 and 80w psf i need a little grow for the first couple weeks of flower. less intense growing and the bloom is fine by itself...

 

[spainmedman]

Dyna-Gro also makes the best cloning solution, KLN. The stuff rules. I will try the rest of their line soon.

 

[sour power]

is anyone using any bloom boosters with dg bloom?also is anyone growing in hempy with this?

how much grow do you use the first 2 weeks?

 

[bushdoctor215]

how much grow do you use the first 2 weeks?

Roughly 20% depending on strain. If using r.o. the supplemental cal-mag usually has enough nitrogen to cover it... If running DTW Dyna-Gro seriously kicks ass!

nice to know im gonna try it out. thanks for the info

I wonder if that's my thread at the other forum that you're speaking of. Just a quick background on myself, I used the GH 3part for years and got great results. After seeing Uncle Ben mention DynaGro a few times in his posts, I wanted to put his recommendation to the test in my hydro trays. On my first run with DynaGro, it out-yielded my beloved GH while remaining pH stable the entire grow. My impression of the final product was that it was actually better than that of the GH product.

I switched nutrient lines of course and several months later, I put it up against Advanced Nutrients' most premium plant food; Connoisseur. DynaGro won hands down (my GH 3part would have beat Connoisseur as well actually) which once again reaffirms the idea that it's all about the mineral content and ratios, not marketing and fancy labels.
