Alright, I use fox farm ocean forest soil..usually in veg i dont use any nutes, but sometimes i would use grow big and some big bloom.. and in flower i used tiger bloom and big bloom, along with some calmag up to 7weeks.. i used half strength every other week and not on the last week of flower...

I just bought general organics bio bud blom bosoter, bio thrive bloom, bio weed cold processed seaweed, and bio root..
How are you guys using this?
I planned to use bio root in veg.. and in flower every other week use the light dose of bio bud, bio weed, bio thrive, and bio root..

what do yall think? ive been growing for years but have only used ff's line, please help me make the switch..

hi,

I have used the GO line on some peppers, but nutrient is nutrient

there are many factors affecting nutrient application. veg time, ease-ability, strain, size of plant, wattage used, pot size are some factors

alot of people are not to fond of using seaweed in flower, but that is your call, it might even be in the bloom bottle???

for flower, that depends on nutrients already in soil, veg time, and strain.. but I would think your gonna need to feed the thrive more then every other week.. I am a big fan of light application every watering.. which yes that means getting to know this nutrient line and playing around with it.

I guess I can't really help you out that much as I never used the bio bud and bio root, and there seaweed.. I couldn't tell you timing and application for that so I'll let someone else tell you.. ( I don't use additives.. )


good luck. I hope you find "organics" enjoyable

I use it with ffof it works great! I add some organic pk boosters in flower. bioroot is florablend and its weak. I love their veg formula too.

dont use the roots once you start flowering,for that matter i wouldnt use the bioweed either,i only use those in veg.i would also get the cal/mag for use along with the bloom and bud booster,but you dont need much cal/mag in flower generally.i use the whole line in a sterile media,got tired of fungus gnats finally...been using them for over a year now with great results,super easy to use and no fussing with ph.

I have every intention of switching over to GO in an organic coco mix for my next run. It is REALLY good to know that other reputable growers have switched to GO as it looked like a great system to me.

I know you have many links in your signature for us to filter though but can you suggest one that you think is the most detailed journal of yours (regarding feeding levels). The more I learn about the stuff the better off I will be. I'll probably read through them all but if you could pick just one then I'd like to know which you'd pick for someone who wanted to get into GO to read.

:thank you:

^ more is not always better..

actually less is better, because you get to see if anything makes a difference.. and most the time you end up saving money and dealing with less fuss..

is the diamond black fulvic? I would only buy fulvic..

Alright.. so right now I go by general organics feeding chart, but i feed, water, feed water usually.. maybe around 6weeks in ill feed feed water, but then i back off nutes the weke before cutting.
i use bio root, thrive grow, calmag, and bio weed in veg..
in flower i use bio weed, bio thrive bloom, bio bud booster. just like the chart shows it pretty much

I just went to the store and bought bio marine, diamond black, and diamond nectar.. the feeding schedule doesnt show these three bottles, how do i work them in?
