So i made the switch from AN....mostly because many have said the same results can be had from cheaper products. So i went with Dutch Master Gold and so far so good through veg...

Now im on to flower and i went to pick it all up at my grow store. Not being familiar with DM, i made the mistake of asking what additives i might need (natural question from an AN user...lol) and of course the sales person was quick to sell me the world.

Anyway, i just decided buy the base nutes in the pic below and just ask here....those who have experience with DM Gold, is there anything else i might need to make colossal nugs????

Ive run DM for several yrs and love it.
The nutes you have are all you need. A lil heads up on the Potash+ . It's a pain in the ass to get PH right when you first mix. Go half strength on it also til you see how the girls like it. ItIt's pretty strong.

Should the potash go in last in the mix? And does it drop or raise the ph?

I always start with the potash+ and then adjust ph. It raises the PH, best to mix, set PH and let sit for an hr then recheck and add flower nutes.

Hmmm.... I found that when I ad my nutes to the water it drops the pH significantly. So I wait until after the nutes are in to adjust the pH. Maybe it's something about the water here...

It runs great for me in dwc and aero. Even though I have not run anything else. Also theres no need to add cal mag because there's cal mag in the a&b. I just like the simplicity of it.

I like it too for simplicity, but didnt yield so well this round and i cant tell if it was because of a change in nutes (i used AN before) or if it was due to other little mistakes...

Oh I aslo like DM nutes because my ph stays the same for about a week. When you used AN did you run there additives too? Also did you run DM additives too?

Actually i did use the DM zone and silica....also the potash and Add2.7.

And when i used AN i used some of the additives.... bud candy, overdrive, and a couple others. It wasnt the pro line the the one under it...

Man the an stuff adds up. But i can't say much because I run the full line of canna in my coco grows.

Ya ...thats why i switched to DM...cost...

Gonna need a grow or two to dial in on it. I may do a side by side with it though with AN just to see next round...

I've been running DM gold One for a few years. I picked up a new bottle today(3 weeks into my flower cycle) and just noticed the NPK ratios have changed.......
Old gold one 0.5 0.2 3
New gold one 2 1 3
Grow gold one 1 0.7 3
Seems like the new stuff has a lot of nitrogen in it...... In fact it has more than the grow nutes......wtf.

I also got some potash+ I guess I'll just use quater strength nutes and increase my potash+ so I can lower the nitrogen.
