I'll start...What do you use?

ibjamming · Dec 1, 2009

I grow in mushroom compost, about 15% perlite, and some dolomite lime. I rarely fertilize in veg, and then use A/N Sensi Bloom lightly during flowering. To be honest, I don't really notice a big difference between the AN and Miracle grow... My buds don't win awards...but they get me by just fine.

And you?

nutes/ additives i have been happy with:

Liquid Karma
Cal~Mag by Botanicare...used to use, switched to:
Cal-Max with iron by Gro-Tek

Bio Bloom for flowering...

hygrozyme...

pH down...my water starts at 8.5-9.0!!

just got a huge shipment of free stuff from Cutting Edge Solutions, and i intend on using those for a while. Including:
Plant Amp™; Uncle John’s Blend™; [SIZE=+1]Mag Amped™; Bloom; Grow; and a Micro...

i have grown in Pro~Mix in the past, but i found a new medium and i am going to use it:

[/SIZE]Just Right Xtra All Organic Potting Mix

"Just Right mix is Rich blend of OMRI Listed organic materials, microbes and fungi. We know you will enjoy your "Bag of Biology™"
Items with a

are from:

3 parts EWC
3 parts spaghnum moss
2 parts perlite
tsp bonemeal
tsp bloodmeal
Tsp lime

I water with bubbled tap water with bout 1 Tsp molasses to every 3 gallons with most waterings, every 4 waterings or so I water/flush with straight water. When the soil (less) is about a month old I start to water occasionally with tea made from 1 Tsp molassas and about 1/2 tsp FF happy frog fruit and flower, adjusting the strength of the tea to my plants needs/growth phase. I have other additives and crap too, but when I cut them out I didn't notice any changes so I've been K.I.S.S. I plan on switching to ffof soon cuz it's available here now finally.

previous run, coco 75% dirt 25% garden soil fed with tap water and floranova bloom the whole way through very easy.

present run, pretty much same medium maybe less soil and gh flora series so i can control my bloom nitrogen levels better

also running organic plants on fish emulsion n blackstrap plus piss and maybe some comfrey tea.

im a K.I.S.S method kind of guy- atleast in search of it. i dont drive here n there for organic amendments and mix this n that and add 6 nutes for one run, its a weed, i try not to make it harder then it has to be-

And you?[/quote]

there is no differance, its all just metals your feeding your plants if your running chems, the only advancement in some nutes is cal mag is added , there has been no progress in chem nutes at all, just the medium we run them in and are control of ph-

Bud Spleefman · Dec 3, 2009

This is what works for me in DWC/Buckets: (My water is well water @ 50 PPM)

All measurements are per gallon------

6 ml GH Micro
12 ml GH Bloom (Lucas Formula - Lite)
1.5 ml Fox Farm Beastie Bloomz (for all those micro nutes that aren't in my water)
3 ml GH Floralicious Bloom
.5 ml SuperThrive
8 ml Hyrgrozyme (this stuff is really worth the $ IMHO!)

My nute analysis is (per the spreadsheet that is floating around)

112 N
158 P
232 K
59 Mg
39 S
104 C

I Ph to 6.0 and I change my nutes every 8 or 9 days. I get really good yields, anywhere from .5 to 1 gram per 1000 w, depending on strain and other unforeseen, non nutrient variables.
