I just got my sample of Veg+Bloom.. was a little dissappointed that it was clearly labeled from 'Hydroponic Research'.. this probably is not an issue for most people, but in a small town like where I live, the postman notices stuff like this. Really kinda sucks..

smells like gatorade, thats the carb additive

He must have added more Si. I wrote him earlier this week to inquire and he said it has sufficient Si.

Photos are same plant. Hand behind bud is ~ 1/2 way down the plant.

Vegged - 2nd week of flower with DM Gold.

I am starting my clones off with V+B. Can't wait to see the veg growth

im sure its sufficient, i rarely add silica anyway and didnt when I used v and b nutes either, but

he said there are small amounts of silica but adding more is what he recommended, we talked for a long time in person, Ive been to their "factory"

I used this stuff for a few complete runs in waterfarms, coco ebb n flo, dirt, and vermiculite/lava mix

I'm deff gonna use this on my next run with a few things added like silica blast, hygrozyme, moab, hammer head, and bud candy maybe a compost tea when they get fresh water. $100 for 5lb is kool especially when running coco beds that only need to be watered 1 or 2 times a week. Since i have 2 4x4 beds i'm gonna use one with just V+B only and the other with the additions I listed and see witch produces better. If I can get results that are any where close to what i was getting using advanced connie and additives I'm deff gonna make the switch for good. I was spending like 1,000 every run and a half so much much cheaper. I would like to try heavy 16's line up and metrop's line as well and maybe aptus eventually to see how they stack up against the other lines i have run.

The RO is better than I thought.... 4 days in and roots all over the place on my transplants...nice fuzzy fat ass roots!! and my moms are growing back faster then I can keep up....

Ummmmm..that is kinda the name of his business bro, Hydroponic-Research

You really cant blame a person for at least putting there name of business on a package. Your small town postman needs to get out more and it seems you do as well.......there is a giant big world out there waiting for you.......Hydroponic-Research covers a VERY wide range of meanings and does not directly refer to MJ in any way shape or form...do you have any idea how much hydroponics is used WORLD WIDE for greenhouse food crops alone????? That is not to count all the other applications. Just because YOU are limited in vocabulary and in the meaning of the words and make automatic false assumptions does not mean all others do that have lets say a little more broad spectrum of the english vocabulary.....

Some people will find something to bitch about and complain no matter what the case it seems.....

The somewhat new custom formula especially for DWC or RDWC systems (NH4 Free) contains a new fulvic isolate with the lowest molecular weight of any fulvic on the market. That also makes it the most "bio-active" fulvic on the market as well. This stuff keeps getting better and better! It is also one of the most ph stable nutrients hands down. We tested it against Advanced ph perfect 2 part sensi line and guess which product was more ph stable????

Veg+Bloom is very complete and also contains lots of silica in several forms which also helps to stabilize the ph.

I have a question for those using this in pure coco and using the ro formula do you need to add calmag ? Also i see it needs more silica so i should deff still use silica blast? The more i read the more and more i'm coming to terms with just using V+b witch is hard for me seeing as I'm used to using lots of products like bennies compost teas carbs and sugars. With this being a all chem fert it would be pointless for me to use bennies correct? My new set up is going to be a 4x8 with 2 4x4 botanicare ebb n flow hydro tables. I was thinking of doing one with the coco bed like i planned and the other using rock wool since i have a some of it already the only thing that i keep thinking is if i just run the coco beds its much simpler seeing as i can just pull the plants clean up the roots and replant. this is a much smaller set up than my last i was running 4k using 7gal smart pots of pure coco so I do know what i'm doing just never used this stuff b4. I'm gonna say fuck it grabb a 5lb bucket and see where it takes me has any one tried using enzymes and more carbs and sugars like hygrozyme and budcandy i have always used lots of carbs and sugars my line up usually as far as carbs and sugars i use bud candy liquid carboload Gatorade and sour dee would this also not be needed using V+b? Really excited to see what i can do with a smaller space a simpler nut line up and co2 I just hope it can pull the weight that i'm used to any way thanks for all the great info this is gonna be fun have you guys noticed that different strains liked the v+b better than other's like og's and kushes since thats all i plan to run i still have to decide what strains to run but I know that i'm gonna run lemon alien dawg, and a few from bodhi I think that is gonna be the hardest part seeing as I'm a sour feign and I lost all my gear in dec and there is no more sour d ibl around. Thanks guys this info really has helped me I'm done spending 1000's on advanced even though i did get good results I think I have wasted enough bread on nutes witch leaves me more money to fuel my seed addiction lol

I tell all people first trying V+B to do yourself a favor and on the first run to use ONLY V+B and see what you get. It is COMPLETE! Plenty of silica in several forms as well!! No Cal/Mag is needed but can be used if you want to supplement cal/mag.

V+B also contains many organic compounds and it is not a "all chemical nutrient". It contains amino acids, cytokinns, humics, and as mentioned contains the best fulvic isolate on the market, or should I say the most bio-active.

You can use tea's with V+B if you like using tea's and bennies. But really to be fair to yourself, you should try the first run with only V+B and see what you get. Most get the cleanest product that they have ever grown, best tasting and bigger yields even.

At low dosage it acts as a veg formula, at medium dosages it acts as a bloom formula, and at higher dosages it acts as a bloom nutrient PLUS the PK Boosters.

V+B is not only one of easiest nutrients to "dial in" (only takes one run to dial things in) but it is also great for folks that like to mix and match strains. You can easily find a "happy dosage" that will keep different strains all happy at the same time.

Suggested dosages;

Small plants and seedlings get from 0 to 200PPM (.5 x500 conversion rates), medium plants should get around 400 to 600PPM and larger plants in flower about 600 to 800PPM and then for mid to later flowering stages you can run it at 800 to 1000PPM. For aggressive flowering schedules have seen people go up to around 1400PPM........

Kool thanks man its just hard for me since i started growing using advanced connie and it just feels wrong to be only using one thing i know i know the pics dnt lie but it just feels wrong you know like when you see 2 guys holding hands walking through the mall lol i'll bite the bullet and try it thanks so you think it would be ok to add bennies to the mix and v+b won't kill them? I focus soo much on my root mass when growing that i have to add some bennies at least when i fill the coco beds i mix it in i'll prolly just add some carboload to make sure they get fed every few waterings just as a lil extra never hurt unless the v+b contains carbs like the powder version of carboload? Man i'll just use V+b like you said but if i'm not happy I'm comin for you Bmaster lol thats awesome i didnt know it had the amino acids cytokinns and humics in it already what about enzymes are those in there as well i have found that my girls roots always look better when i use hygrozyme what do you think/
