any kiss users have exp. with veg+bloom

dansbuds - i spoke with a water specialist recently when sourcing a RO filter from the aquarium world because i wanted something more efficient - they said RO/DI is overkill for hydro and I am wondering if the deionization component might be causing your problems ?

chow mix is 80/20 coco/hydrorocks?

is aptus in same rez? watering schedule?

your setup plus gavitas is the only thing i would invest in.
 
and one side has 3 600w gavitas and the other 3 600w horti's.

Didnt have enough dough to get all gavitas but I will gradually change everything over to gavitas

25%hydroton/25%perlite/50% coco approx.

aptus once or twice a week in a seperate small rez wand watered
caps teas once a week and sea green
so all the semi organic inputs in a small rez
vplusb once a day in my main rez wand watered

I plan on going back to vplusb clean version

Might be ...... but i had more problems with the plants when i had it unhooked so .....
water is pretty shitty here ! can't wait to move .
 
i just sourced some raw mkp 1 pound for ten dollars i will be ordering some map and an array of amino's and i have raw fulvic and humic aswell i'm going to work out some kind of concauction of my own simillar to moab and big bud


I'm also harvesting excellent crops using a Veg+Bloom Tap/MOAB "two part". Soon as I burn off these pails o MOAB I'll be sourcing a more economical 0-52-32 (or similar analysis) MKP/MAP product. :biggrin:

Have pulled 2lb/1kw in 50/50 coco/perlite cloth pots over my last two cycles with my best genetics in my most dialed spaces, running 10 weeks and watering nearly every day. These are sealed bloom rooms with bare hanging bulbs, split unit ACs, controlled tapering humidity and constant daytime CO2 injection at 1500-2000 ppm.

Currently am experimenting side by side with constant V+B/MOAB feeds in weeks 1, 5-8 vs. constant V+B feed with MOAB smashes on days 15, 22, 29, 36, 43 & 50, using 1 g/gal MOAB and reducing V+B accordingly.

Another harvest and I'll have a dialed comprehensive formula across two gardens with two different well water profiles running six different strains.

Potassium silicate for pH up, phosphoric acid for pH down. Having been a slave to billions o bottles for too many years to count, I have been blown away by these results. Four total containers in rotation (six technically counting my Forbid & Eagle20 bottles for preventative veg sprays) couldn't make me a happier man. :dance013:

If I can pull two more 2+ harvests with this consistency, I'll probably be burning off all the bottles at the other two grows, running RO formula in coco/perlite at one spot and the Dirty in a peat mix at the other, simplifying my shelves everywhere. What could be better?

It is funny how many newer accounts / low post members are in this thread.

(Being a newer product and all. Not to mention in this particular industry people follow trends after they see great runs by vets using such & such brand / equipment.)

I only find it funny because there are better known lines with just as good if not better quality of "finished" product and yet those particular threads don't seem to get anywhere near the same activity with same said members.

The ingredients are simply what attracts me back to this line, As well as being a one part.
Heavy 16 follows suit. ( If you are in active hydro I say take a closer look at your nutrient profile.)

I guess it was hopeful thinking to come back to this thread long after Cyat posted his experience (running a CUSTOM formula made specific for his water....gtfo) and hoped the owners would have worked out the problems.

We all know this thread is visited as well as actively posted in by the owner of V&G.

No hate.
Disappointed with the antics and tactics.

Think of the money you miss by not fixing the problem.
These type of posts are not just isolated to this board.

Or ignore it and keep posting pictures.
Cool.
At least support ICmag and donate or become a sponsor.

I found where to get the same salts.... in bulk.
+ a p/k booster with a particular PGR will give that same or more depending on dosing "frost/snow/Trich" coverage everybody is excited about.
CHEAP.

:tiphat:
TR

This not only goes for this board. It's a common theme at EVERY single one I've researched and read for hoursss, on this single product. Had a whole post dedicated to just this once, and said ah hell I rather not stir the pot or ignite the gas in here. But it's pretty apparent to me, and has been for months what's going on here and it's a shame to say the least.
And what keeps me checking this thread every time a new face pops into it? The HOPE that they'll have comparable results to ICbuds or the other name posting flawless, magazine worthy, shots of their plants.:tumbleweed: good thing I haven't held my breath.

I do have to say RicoT that when this first came out (V&B ) it was the best 1 part i ever tried & produced some of the biggest & best tasting buds i ever produced !!! but somewhere along the way he changed manufacturers of some of his ingredients ... like pottasium .... & it changed the way it mixed & fed the plants .... for me anyways . but it WAS a really good nutrient at 1 time . I wish He'd go back to the original formula !!! why fix what ain't broken :dunno:

I do remember you giving much praise to the product and posting pictures. Even then, and still, I've never seen anyone post pictures that looked like they could even hold a candle next to ICbuds or another person with a new account, and only posts linked to this thread.(edit:netprophet is the username) And I don't just mean keeping a plant green using it…

And while it does seem to be a conspiracy, look for yourself at ICbuds' other posts, and even go as far as going to every other V&B thread at every other forum, and looking at the OP's other posts there… Conspiracy? If you wanna look at it that way. Marketing ploy? I'd say so.

sounds paranoid to me. Pretty weak to contribute to a forum and be accused of being a part of a ploy or marketing conspiracy, It kind of defeats the purpose of sharing. I've seen several other growers on this forum and other forums show results and I'm guessing everyone of them is marketing as well? The whole conspiracy thing is wack and just needs to be squashed. I haven't benefited from this in any way other than raising the bar in my local market with superior goods and weight to pitch. I'll be sure to keep sharing my results, especially now that I've been accused of being part of a paranoid scheme.

Yeah I hear what your saying about some of the grows & bud shots here i just don't let it get to me . i can see whos promoting the V&B & whos for real , i just ignore most of it . ...... but i do have to give some credit to Chris & his original formula though .... it really did work very well ! but .... shit happens :(


sorry man .... i just don't see it as a big deal if someone is pushing the product .... its done everyday in the real world . underhanded shit is just common place in that business .
Welcome to America dude !!! :wallbash:

No conspiracy or "paranoid scheme" at all. It's flat out marketing through the biggest resource any of us have to draw from(these forums) in what's an illegal hobby for most.

My only thing is, it would be ethical, as it is for breeders and other vendors here, to be honest with who you are, and your affiliation with the company.

And I don't doubt you'll do anything less than continue posting here, as it would go against the entire objective of this marketing scheme to disappear with your tail between your legs in defeat, or exposure. You'd then lose not only the little business you have, by leading them to this puddle of gold(your bud pics "using only v&b") that doesn't exist, but any future hopefuls too.

With this all finally brought to light I digress, and for your sake, this will get buried in the 100 pages, and no new potential customers of your's will see it.:tiphat:

Yep.

i can assure you i don't work for anybody but me.
and i'm loving the v&b.
she hasn't done me wrong yet.
not saying you're accusing me, but i think i'm pushing out some pretty sick buds w/ this shit under a 400w too.
you guys can take it however you want, but my people keep taking the end product off my hands.
not to mention the better smoke pulls better profits.

Sweet bud, let's share notes and compare results!

Forgot to mention I've got a 2lb tub o Great White still in rotation. Looking into a kelp4less endo mycorrhizae blend to replace it once I burn it off.

Soon as winter rolls around and I'm not working as much, I'll be back to sourcing and mixing my own salts (thanks to carl, fatman and spurr for doing all the dirty work for us)... gotta have some absorbing project to tinker with during those long frosty months hahaha. Until then, Veg+Bloom/MOAB will do the trick and get me better yields and better finished product than MaxiBloom/KoolBloom ever did.

I understand the complaints about marketing in this thread and sure, there are definitely some shills posting here... but the fact still remains that V+B is working very well for many of us... and that fact shouldn't have to take a backseat to our propensity to piss and moan about shameless self-promotion. :biggrin: I'm sure it's not worth much to many of you but that is my $.02. Much love!

Yep.


I guess you've said what many are thinking already, but really the funny part about it is that the very man behind the V+B (whom i have spoken to on the the phone when arranging a shipment to three of my local hydros) has confirmed these screen names and was none the happier to explain "yeah, those are my boys" when learning i was in their same town.:biggrin:

Jacks Hydroponic and Calcinit, even with the expensive shipping is $121 dollars for 50 pounds total. Or you could dump what is it, $420 for 25 pounds of this magical stuff (lol).

World is enough of a fucked up place without shills all over the place. Yes ive used veg+bloom (jumped on the hype train) and thats all it is imo, Hype.

Peace

This is what i'm moving to next Praxis, i love Supernat is doing for me now, but Jacks looks like the easiest TRUE one part on the market at the moment.
