What's new

BongRipkenJr's new setup and first time coco grow

I have used H&G w/ good results, but H&G is very salty...Very salty, make sure you have lots of run off. Nice 20 days left, perfect timing cause it's drought time in the Valley!

I helped my buddy on his soil grow and he was getting $3500/#!!! I haven't seen those prices since 09. It is really dry. People have the shwagiest herb right now, it aint even funny. I can't wait to have some good tasty meds.

I heard the h&g is salty, hence the drip clean. This canna was super clean then out of nowhere it got salty. I started running drip clean last week and it made all the difference in the world! I noticed that all the leaves became very nice looking and I got some nice swell about 2 days after I started using it. I just read H&G's statement on Drip Clean and they said it will make your leaves become very lush right off the bat. They weren't lying about that!
 
I honestly liked the results that we had w/ the H&G but the salt build up was not cool. Still trying to get it all off my Smart Pots...lol...Drip clean sounds like a "Winner". BRjr, I heard you have gone to my local HPS. Due to security wont say anything past that. But welcome to the ghetto

To me it seems like the only shit worth a damn in the H&G lineup is Drip Clean, BudXL, maybe shooting powder, and the base nutes.

One that you may have not tried or at least was not on your list is their 'Magic Green'.. wow.. you wanna see happy plants! I only use if for the first 2 weeks of 12/12.. man.. they love it..

mgk :tiphat:

Thanks for the heads up! I got a little bottle of that. Should be good for 1 week :jump:

The one thing that sold me on H&G was the amount of people I know who swear by it. I really don't know one person IRL who uses canna. I am the first out of my circle of people, but I dont use the full line. H&G is also a great company. Canna wouldn't send me any samples and even told me its not what they do, whereas H&G said canna doesnt have shit on them and they will prove it. General organics said the same thing, but never followed through with there claims. I hate sounding like a mooch, but it says a lot about a company when they are willing to sending you $100 in nutrients to get you to switch over.

Regarding the Magic Green.. I use it pretty much per their instructions. I mix it and put it in a spray bottle. I douse em down pretty good right at lights out.. the stuff stinks.. smell like some sort of fish emulsion. I do the application about 2 to 3 times a week for the first 2 weeks they're in the flower closet. Works pissah..

I agree regarding manufacturers giving samples. It's only to their advantage. I asked General Organics about a sample pack, but didn't even get a response. I never had any real issues with the H&G line other than a little burn at the end. Like I said in a previous post, it varied from strain to strain as well. I never used GH 3 part in coco and thought I'd give it a try. My previous run with GH was in a home made drip system that just honked!.. So.... I thought.. maybe I'll get better results from the GH and am giving it a try. I'd really like to try the General Organics, but I've got enough of both H&G and GH to float a battle ship. I know a couple guys that have run Cana with great results. Ok.. stoned babble over.. ttfn

Damn I want some free samples. lol . My buddy hooks me up at the LHS w/ samples sometimes. Samples are the business, I'm broke so it's hard to experiment when stuff is pretty damn expensive. But if it works I will pay for it when the sample runs out.

Samples are the shit! I have quite a bit of sample things. I have an address for roots organic and soul synthetic. If you send them $20 S/H they will send you 1 ltr bottles of there whole line.


Yesterday the the Platinum Purps started getting a more diesel tinge to it. Smells great!

Hey dude, I use Canna A/B with h&g drip clean and budxl too. I added drip clean due to some salt issues like you were experiencing and it seems to have helped quite a bit. I have been dosing the budxl at 4ml/gallon and I see you do a half dose. Why is that?

Because I was using Hydroplex and I didn't want to fry them. I cut out all the botanicare stuff. Now towards the end I am just using Canna A+B at a lower EC, Drip Clean, Bud Xl, and shooting powder(half dose). I think next res change I will pump up the Bud Xl and shooting powder. I am going to have to do two chops due to the stretch and leaf growth on this strain. I defoliated quite a bit and they just kept growing back, so I will cut all the tops first and defoliate a bit and then I will let the middle nugs get some light for an extra week. I dont have any bottom nugs thankfully, but the top 10 inches is crowding out the 8 inches or so of bud underneath it.
