I have been growing for several years and have used a wide variety of nutrient lines and products. I have been getting some of the best yields of my career with Dyna Gro, and I would like to share my experience with this line.
Firstly, for those who aren't familiar, Dyna Gro makes a number of one part solutions and a few supplements and other products that are all extremely high quality. They make the best one part solutions on the market. Anyone who wants to dispute this has no idea what they are talking about.
This "recipe" calls for Grow, Bloom, Protekt, KLN, and Mag-Pro. Every one of these products is seriously concentrated so you are getting a ton of bang for your buck. For most of the products you only need a few ml per gallon so you can easily finish an entire grow with just a couple of quarts. This is definitely the least expensive high performance line available.
The recipe also calls for the addition of beneficial microorganisms. Great white or Oregonisms are both good choices. This will make a huge difference. You should also include some sea kelp extract such as thrive alive b1 or whatever floats your boat. Finally, you will also need some type of sweetener such as flora nectar or just some good old molasses.
So, the total product list:
Grow
Bloom
Protekt
KLN
Mag-pro
Sea Kelp product
Beneficial Microrganisms (particularly bacillus and mycorizzhae)
Sweetener
Start off with Grow, KLN, Protekt, Beneficials, and a little bit of sea kelp. If you get thrive alive b1 dont over do it because KLN also contains b1. Dosage obviously depends on medium and countless other variables. If you have questions on the dosage I recommend calling the company and asking to talk to ryan. He is the one who turned me on to the sea kelp, sweetener, and beneficials (even though they aren't dyna gro products..... Pretty legit, eh?) It was the addition of those products that really pushed my results over the top. He also gave me a ppm breakdown on all the products in terms of the number of ppm's that are added to a gallon of water for every 5ml used:
Grow and Bloom - Every 5ml adds 350 ppm to a gallon of water
Protekt - Every 5ml adds 160 ppm to a gallon of water
Mag-Pro - Every 5ml adds 340 ppm to a gallon of water
KLN - Negligible
Those numbers can be used to figure out what dosage to use to get your desired ppms.
You should start off with about 2ml per gallon of protekt and end up at 4ml per gallon after 2 weeks veg. You can stick with that dosage all the way through flower. Don't listen to people who say to stop using silicon in flowering. Use it all the way up until the flush. Again, anyone who says different has no idea what they are talking about.
Because Dyna Gro is so concentrated it is easy to overuse so I find that flushing every couple of weeks really helps avoid any accumulation of fertilizer salts. If used properly buildup up is very minimal.
Use the sweetener at a low concentration during veg to give the beneficials a little extra food and then use it at full strength during flowering. The sea kelp should also be used continuously. When you switch to 12/12 switch directly from the grow to the bloom formula. The drop in nitrogen and spike in phosphorous will really help the plant begin flowering quickly. The high levels of phophorous are less necessary for the rest of flowering than most people understand but it can actually stress the plant a bit and increase essential oil production so there is a method to their madness. You should also add about 2.5 ml of Mag pro in the first week of bloom to assist in the transition. You can then cut off mag pro after the first week and start it up again at about 1.25ml per gallon for weeks 4,5 and 6.
Always finish with a flush obviously, I find 10 days to be perfect.
Dyna Gro is the simplest, easiest to use, least expensive, and most effective line I have ever used now that I have gotten everything tuned in with the addition of those few select products. I spend hundreds less on my nutes, spend way less time mixing solutions, and I am getting better results than ever before.
I strongly encourage people to try this recipe as well as using the base nutes and protekt in your own regimens and see the difference it makes. Dyna Gro is the standard for research at universities for a reason.
