house and garden coco schedule
- Thread starter topps
- Start date
in my experience the plants LOVE h&g in slightly-less-than-recommended doses...
I dont use any of their additives except roots excel, i use Pure Flowers and AN Big Bud instead. my feeding schedule looks like this..
VEG:
---house & garden coco A and B - 10ml/gal each
---roots excelorator - 1ml/gal
FLOWER
weeks 1-2:
---a&b at 10ml/gal
---roots excel 1ml/gal
weeks 2-5:
---a&b at 10ml/gal
---Advanced Nutrients "Big Bud" 6ml/gal
weeks 6-8:
---a&b at 10ml/gal
---Pure Flowers 1.5ml/gal
with this i can easily grow 10lbs spending less than $150 on nutrients

I have been running House and Garden for the past year now! I love it here is a nutrient calculator for you.
http://www.house-garden.us/nutrient-calculator/ this one is gallons

Follow there schedule ! I use the whole line even shooting powder! I also add some Cal/Mag I would start off just a touch lite on there schedule until you figure out what works best for you.
don't be afraid to use heavy feeding on the chart... And, I have had no problems using the full dosage of Shooting powder.
The plants really love the H&G. I don't even have the whole line up yet. The A&B do go faster than the additives...so I will be buying bigger bottles next time around.

Been following the h&g nutrient charts with full line (except shooting powder becuase i re-use my coco). I also add mollases, great white, and have a cal/mag if the plants need it. I have been thinking of a way to put canna boost into the mix though becuase that shit is awsome. Well so is there zyme. Mabey ill start using h&g base and canna additives. Hmmm...
I've had excellent results with H&G. I use their entire line, with Coco base. I, however, use much less than others that have posted. I use 5ml/gal, maybe 6ml but never more, of the bases at the peak of flower. I am typically using 4ml/gal at the start of flower. I do add CaMg and Sweet Raw as well as Great White and Blaskstrap Molasses. I use the additives at full strength, including shooting power.
My typical PPM starts at 1100-1200 and increases to 1800-1900 towards the end of flower. I can't imagine using 10ml/gallon. I am using RO water, with about 20% Small Boy filtered water added in for pH stability and micro nutes. My starting PPM is ~40.
Drip clean makes all the difference in the world. I never have to flush any more... my plants look worse if I do flush. My pre harvest flush is only 5 days with absolutely no chemical taste and a very smooth burn.
I feel that I probably wouldn't have to add CaMg and Sweet if I was using 8-10ml/gal, but I think its overkill. If you are using Drip Clean it is really hard to over fertilize. I think H&G tells you to use so much so you buy more, but it isn't always needed. Its my opinion that feeding 10ml/gal is giving the plant way too much N, especially late into flower.

I couldn't agree more. I've been figuring this out myself through trial and error. 8-10 mil too much N in flower. But yeah, you can pump the shooting powder at full strength.

I have a buddy who stopped using the Pure Flower because it seemed to focus on building huge nugs and less trichs. His nugs were big and rock hard but never super potent. When he stopped using it his yield went down but the nugs were frosted up. You haave this problem at all?

I have been experimenting with this and my results have been great so far.
This is my first time using H&G so take it for what it's worth.
My room is dialed in and my genetics are on point but this is the easiest run I have had when it comes to feeding my girls. No deficiencies or lock-outs pH is stable and only needs adjusting when using enzymes. The only trouble I was having when I followed the feed chart recommendations was N toxicity in my OG's.
This run I swore I would not use any p/k boosters because I want frosty nugs and not green rocks that do not get you where you need too be.
That being said my increase in p/k is coming from my base when I use less of part A than B. I just figured out what ratio to start with by their charts. Basically I have been using the A dose of what you would use when shooting powder is in use and the B dose that is on the chart when shooting powder is not in use.
So far I can not complain super frosty nugs with excellent growth. It's so good in fact that I am not even tempted to get a booster. Whether or not the nutes are the reason for my success is debatable because my room is 69-80 F (at canopy) and 38%-50% RH and using Co2 but the nutes are for sure a part of the equation.
Nutes are CocosAB RootsE DripC BudXL enzyme epsom and silica in RO.
No problems here reducing part A.
Great trick, thanks. I like the simplicity of a two part.
