Hello All!

So how do you use H&G nutes? Feed feed feed? Or feed water feed water?

I have been hearing mixed things. Their website is pretty useless...no FAQ's or anything. I'll call em tomorrow, but figured I'd check with the community as well.

I just dragged home the whole line for soil. Got a test batch in flower running.....but only done the Week 1 bloom feed the other day.

Only thing I don't like about the nutes so far is it is a major pain in the ass to measure out 1.5 mL.....and things like it. My shot glass goes in 5 mL increments. I have a 1 mL dropper, but I would ratehr use a fresh one every time instead of reusing...which leads to contamination.

Anyone have any thoughts? Love to hear em all! Whether its what you like/don't like, how you measure, how you apply....etc. Like it says....lets chat!

I have been running Fox Farms line for awhile and I do like it.....but there are many good nutes out there....and who doesn't wanna do better?

OK I hope we get this rollin.


Peace ya'll. Grow hard!

H&G floats my boat.

A solution to your measurement issue is to mix larger batches. I'm guessing that you hand water with a 1 or 2 gallon can. Try a 5 gal bucket or a 10 gal trash can and your measurement problems will disappear.
Another option is to buy disposable droppers with .5 ml graduation. They're super cheap and available online. Check out American Science & Surplus, that's where I got my last batch.
I mix 40+ gallons per reservoir, so that's less of an issue for me.

yup, floats my boat as well. have had some of the biggest yields ive ever had with this line. plants stay very healthy. its cost effective.

the drip clean and roots accelerator are hands down some of the best products in existence.

this round, i am supplementing the h@g line with bud blood, big bud and another goodie from aurora soul synthetics called bud swell.

not saying the h@g lines lacks anything. but the bud blood will speed flowing time up a tad, if you dont know about big bud from AN, your missing out! and the whole aurora soul synthetics line some magical shit. we have been doing extensive side by sides with this shit as additives only, not a base, and are beyond happy with the results!

for some reason, i dont like the shooting powder. maybe becasue it is powder? i use another flower enhancer.....

i am 5 weeks in with this new line up, very please with whats happening! i will post a thread on that grow soon....

Thanks to both of you for your replies!!!!!

But neither of you said, do you feed feed feed? Or feed water feed?

I do mix 5 gallon buckets.....about 7 of them as I am a perpetual pharmer.

I run 6-9 plant runs in 3 gallon containers.....giving each one about .75 gallons to saturate the pot with no run offs.

Thanks again guys!!!!

Neither of us run soil
(correct me if I'm wrong, krunch)
we both run coco so there's gonna be some run off.
It sounds to me like you would benefit from a 45 gallon trash can (if you mix 35 gallons at a time) with a pump in it attached to a watering wand.
I run drippers myself, drain to waste.
Also a big fan of Bud Blood and Big Bud from AN.
It's funny, sometimes it looks like krunch and i are reading from the same play book.
Anyway, your real query:
Feed feed feed.
Sometimes I have planned flushes with straight water or an additive here and there.
Coco doesn't hold nutes the way soil does, so as long as you're not overfeeding you can feed until it's time for the final flush.
AFOM runs H&G soil nutes and he loves them. He runs beds, so there's a bit more lag time between feedings, but I don't think he does food-water-food. He just keeps the ppm low and supplements his soil mix with azomite.
Good luck!

Thanks alot Humble1. Much appreciated pal!

I shoulda figured you guys were hydro or coco.

I mix 5 gallon batches as one 5 gal bucket feeds/waters each batch.....I can't mix 45 gal batches as each week is different. Someday I will run huge batches and do just what you said....pump with wand.

Thanks for the info. I just won't buy AN products as I think the company blows. JMO tho. Super over priced and super marketed.

I hope AFOM pops by and shares his thoughts as well.

Thanks again Humble1.

holy shit, what are you high on? this is a discussion on house and garden nutrient line......

[Admiral Canna]

LMAO^^^. Krunch....yer avi is hilarious. Isn't that Stewart? Love that guy!

I got some 3 mL and 1 mL pipe things. I've actually had em....but they seem to be a lil off. Prolly made in China. LOL.

Anyone else got anything to say about H&G?

I hear pretty mixed reviews on their Shooting Powder. Some love, some hate. I'm gonna run it on half my test batch I think. It will come down to flavor of each product vs yield. I refuse to sacrifice quality for quantity. Quality rules the world!

Called up Humboldt Wholesale today.....the man said FEED FEED FEED.

Didn't doubt anyone that replied.....but I had to hear it from the horse....and thats what he said. Awesome guy on the phone. Real nice and willing to chat nutes and entertain my questions.

Thumbs up for customer service!
