Looking thru the organic soil forums. Not very much info regarding nftg. I will say, I have used all types of systems.organic, no till, vegan based, salt based,ect.. I recently switched from dtw Coco , to nectar . I was sick of feeding so much, and watering everyday.plus want to see difference in my clone only varieties and how well they perform. Starting with taking new cuts and dipping into aloe vera and using. 100%natural inputs from the very start. Right off the rip this is what I experience. With nectar4 soil, as soon as roots hit, they looked very healthy .I observed stunning colors and wider braching as well as larger growth tips .in conjunction with nftg, I started using microbe life hydro products.rootdip was used on plugs and cups,and when transplanted I switched to nourish I for a couple waterings then switched to photo + as a folair as well as 1ce a week in the rootzone. .( A little side note , when transplanted plugs into cups or 1 gal pots, I use a mix of nectar4/ promix hp.50/50. And always use plain water for the first watering.) When established veg plants are about a ft to 2 ft, I tp into 2gal str8 nectar4. At this time you can up the liquid bonemeal to at min.15ml per gallon and start folair feeding with bloom kahos. You don't wanna use the BK unless you have at least 15ml per gallon of liquid bonemeal built up in the soil .they Ballance each other and you can burn the plants if you spray before you build it up. Another interesting method with this nutreint line is the bone meal flush. So, every so often after feeding for a while,like 6 or so waterings, the recipe calls for a "flush" but it's kind of different than your normal flush. It involves just plain water and only the liquid bonemeal pH to 6.2. this will also unlock plants that have too many ppms .and make them lush and praying the next day. What this does, is litterally push the rest of the ppms that are in the rootzone ,into the plant and makes them available. Pretty nice feature. I also do this before transplanting to the final container. Another product used in conjunction with nftg, is slf100. It's an enzyme that also makes nutrients available and cleansroots so their bright healthy white. Once a week in with feed for that product as well. And mammoth p for microbes. I know it seems like alot but the growth of the plants is proof and I haven't observed an organic regimine that compares to this in the growth department as well as the final product. Last I do a compost tea weekly that involves Earth worm castings, microbes, molasses . I cant say enough good about these organic inputs as well as soil.i hope you give it a try... Sorry for caps and paragraphs...I've been yelled at before. Peace Icmag fam!!!!

reads like you have that line figured out to a TEE ...you do good work with nutrition ...it sounds like complicated nutrient line though? i just switched over to roots organic one part formulas...peace

Thanks~star~crash~ , it's actually pretty easy to get going, and the plants respond to it so well. I like roots 707 soil for outdoor.i use it every year for the last 5 or so seasons.

Nector uses high Ca and is a winner. Good luck

i've been reading into it a bit & i'm interested in this line as well ...

[jidoka]

This line uses calcium nitrate and mkp...not organic

[Avinash.miles]

i hear good things about the liquid bone meal

[jidoka]

I like the Krakken better than bone meal. 0-4 vs 0-6...but chitin

[~star~crash~]

a tad bit of research reveals there are several steps involved when U feed under their regime & U have to be extremely precise ...i'm thinking this line would be more suitable for smaller grows because of the increased amount of time needed to use the products properly & exactly as directed ...unless you can mix up large batches at a time and keep the solution in a constant state of agitation so there is no separation ...they stress that U need to keep the mix's constantly in motion or they will separate

A bag of the Nectar soil #4 is $24 which is hard to justify for me when I can get Vermifire for $17. I've heard great things about their nutrients. Shake a lot and keep the pH in the correct range and you're all set. I've used Roots Organics Buddha Grow/Bloom/Trinity and they're great.
