I'm Switching, Need Nute Recommendations - Organic Hydro - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hi

I have a micro-grow area 2' x 3' x 5'

SCROG screen

I do drip Hydro

I have a completely sealed 600W HPS

I'd like to switch to Organic Hydro. This forum seems to be the Mecca .

I'm of the opinion that if you go with the nutes that most use, there's a bigger database to ask questions to. Seems like Pure Blend Pro is most favored here? Is it actually Organic? I read someone's comment that "The only true organic hydro nutrients out there is bio canna"

Is that true?

Thank you

I can see this is a LOT different from Standard Hydro. The Organic Hydro system. I haven't found a nice and tidy "How-To" guide, but there seem to be too many variables for that.

There are no nute changes it seems. You just keep adding new nutes?

There is a bucket or breeder for the beneficial orgs?

I was doing drip in Hydroton. That would seems to be a good breeding area along with some elements in the res.

I'm very height limited and was hoping I could re-use the system I have shown above. 9 gallon res and 3 one gallon pails of Hydroton.

Am I Hydro-Hosed here?

Thanks

I think General Hydroponics have just released a 3 part organic nute line

I've grown in coco for a few years and started off using Canna coco nutrients. However, they're more expensive and not available close by to my new location. Two weeks into flowering of the latest, I switched over to Pure Blend Pro Bloom and Cal-Mag Plus (15 ml per gallon / 5 ml per gallon). The plants handled the change without a problem. They are now starting week six.

PBP,Liquid Karma,Cal-Mag and some Hydroplex in the end. Have used this system for years now and have never had a problem well except when I stored in correctly that is.

The nutrients Mr Wags mentioned are a great package rrog and the setup you have would work fine with such nutes.
It's also a nice setup for supporting an even more organic situation like biobuckets or even an aquaponics reservoir.

But if, you've brought those plants to the point you now have running hydro chemical salts ferts like gh flora series, then imho,
you are somewhat "hydro hosed" right now, as you put it.

It's better ime, to just go ahead and finish these plants off in the pure hydro chem salts nutes,
than to try to convert over to an organic based grow at THIS point in these plants growth.

Thanks all for the input. The photos were from last year. That system is idle at the moment, which is why I'm asking now.

Is PBP and Liquid Karma actually Organic?

Thanks

It's not 100% certified organic, but grab a bottle and read the ingredients. It's composed of organic sources of nutrients... but I don't know what's in it that doesn't qualify it to be certified by USDA? Maybe they didn't pay the $20,000 bribe to get the certification?
