^ I used the GO BOX for my first soil grow throughout and I was happy though I've nothing else to compare to yet.

I'm using GO right now for my soil grow. I'm still in the veg phase but is it safe to say that I should switch to something else to get a descent yield and tight buds?

yielded like anything else I used add a pk boost and it really rocks, quality is incredible

I love the ease of use and my plants look good up to this point so I will see how they turn out with GO and adjust from there I guess

Just finished a few runs with it . I got chunky , dense, smelly buds with it . Only thing I added was AI's Big swell . A few pheno's yielded quite a bit less with the GO , but most chunked right up .

Hi all,

There is a link in my sig. for a hydro batch I recently grew with the GO, not using BioMarine. Now I am running BB S1 clones in a side-by-side adding some floralicious plus. Has anyone used this stuff with an enzyme product, that is the next additive I want to try with it.

Peace all.

I run on simple drip line systems in straight coco...run for five minutes at least 3 times a day period. pH adjustments to 5.5-5.6 are necessary at least once a day(IMO, the no pH thing is for hand watering only). Maintaining a 60-65* res temps are also a necessity when running organics, otherwise you WILL get some nasties.

I have been using Sensizym with the GO and it seems to be keeping it from going bad, but mostly I just notice my drip lines are staying cleaner. I run solution through the lines for a couple minutes during the dark period just to ensure nothing get stagnant and smelly in there.

I am also mixing fulvic acid and FF Microbe brew with my mix.

I only mix enough solution for 5 days most. Only an 18 gal res so this works well, and I can wash and sanitize easily between every solution change.

Im running this stuff as well. I have no lock-ups of any kind with it. it takes longer for the plant to green up but its worth it. im 10ml(2tsp) every watering in coco with 10 ml of their cal/mag as well. in flowering add some bat guano in your rez as well. im using the bio thrive grow. i wanted the extra nitrogen formula since i can add the bat guano myself when i make my mix in the rez.

i do agree with amannamedtruth, once u mix it it will spoil quickly at higher temps so keep that nutrient rez 60-65.

So I have been noticing Mg deficiencies, so have bumped my pH up to 6.2-6.3 and they are much happier, also adding epsom salts 1 tsp/gal of solution.

Some plants 3 weeks in are showing some k deficiency, so I added Roots organics HPK at a little over 10 ml/gal. for now. will work up to 15 ml/gal by week 5 i think. I also forgot to mention that I add Bio-Cozyme at about 3-5 ml per gallon. I use this throughout, great stuff.

trying out biobizz now.
this stuff is completely different than the go line.
one thing that looks exactly alike is the algamic and go's seaweed product

nah, it has no smell. It will make your solution devoid of its 'VGanic' designation, though, lol.

I also gotta clarify that I ph to 6.3 just at the beginning of the day, then let it creep up to 6.8-9 by the time the lights are off.

I am going to maybe start the day off with a 6.5-6 pH.

Just flushed a couple days ago, too, and am feeding with 2 tsp of Epsom Salts/gallon, and my plants are looking like they are taking in their Mg now no problem. This line does not provide enough Mg, at least for coco, and I am afraid to add more than the extra strength amount of CaMg+, especially with tap water, too much calcium can be bad. I am feeding them 1.5 tsp of CaMg/gallon MAX then adding the Epsom salts.

Do you think the enzyme product youre using helps with root development? I have a nearly full bottle of sensizyme that ive been thinking of incorporating into my handwatering regimen...
My res is tap water with 5ml Maxibloom per gallon, ph down (to about 5.8 - 6.0) and 1ml Dripclean per gallon. Been working well for me, as long as i supplement handwater with epsom (1-2 tsp per gallon, handwater about 2x a week). I usually put other stuff in the jug when i handwater, silica, sometimes sm90 as a wetting agent, bloom boosters, carbos, etc. So long as they get the epsom, they do very well; Maxi has a good amount of cal in it, as does my tap, so i only use calmag to precharge the coco before transplanting clones...

the enzymes are good all around. I think I may just keep my pH around 5.9-6, They seem to be having trouble with some micro uptake, now. I've also been using the foxfarm bushdoctor root drench for my microherd.

I think we need to do a comprehensive study on Cal and Mag uptake, it's such a consistent problem when growing in coco and there doesn't seem to be any generalizable solution. I usually use RO water and don't have problems when I add Botanicare's Cal-Mag at recommended rates (not organic though).

I rarely see Calcium deficiencies, Mg are much more prevalent from my experience, so why do all these products have Cal AND Mg in them? Are you guys seeing any Calcium deficiencies?

Ya, effing coco. I think that adding 2 tbsp/gal. ( 3 tbsp if there is a severe def. ) of epsom salt is so far the best solution

Epsom salts always worry me because of salt build up, I've heard horror stories so I never use them. No problems so far with that?

So I got a really high quality product using the GO line, with a couple amendments, great aromas and solid bud and resin production. Make sure you keep the ph between 5.9-6.3 for best results in coco.

Hey Med,
Nice work. I'm very interested in the GO line. Considering making the switch next round. I'm using Earth Juice and some PBP now, and finally getting it dialed, but looking for something organic that's easier to use/mix.

Which additives did you use? What strain is pictured? Did you follow the GO feeding chart or did you use less or more? What kind of water?

I've got very alkaline pH 8.3 water, and RO available. Someone told me it works best to pH the water down to 7, then mix GO nutes and don't worry about the pH. What do you think?
Good luck. -granger
