Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

A few days later, and take a look at this. (Left: CSFTS. Right: GH 3-part)

I'm posting frequent updates, because the change in the size of the plants is dramatic and I don't think anyone would believe me if I just posted a bunch of pics at the end of the run. The CS plants are more than 2X bigger than the GH plants, and continue to grow bigger every day. After this pic, I took the fat fans off of the GH plants, and did some LST. I LST'd the bigger plants last week on Wednesday. One of the branches on the big plant snapped a bit, so I wired it back in place, hoping it would heal. It seems to be working thus far. Not sure what to do about that if it doesn't.

Anyway. Another update in 3-4 days.

I think im sold... Maybe use electrical tape or something like masking tape? Not sure if either of those would work, just want to cover an area that would be susceptible to fungus/ pests.

Sold x2
I’m going to use this for my next run of gelat.og, white widow & panamagoo

It snapped at the stalk. Didn't come all the way off...I just heard the CRACK and then the branch went limp. So I put it back up, and wired it in the upright position so it will hopefully heal. That was 3 days ago and the branch still looks healthy, so I think it worked.

I'm going to keep chugging along with my experiment all the way to the end. I'll keep posting every 3-4 days. (I'm already using it on every other plant I have, so the only two I'm not using it on are the two in this experiment.)
 
Following. I've got the CSFTS as well. Havent used it yet and was curious about the feed schedule. Thanks for clearing that up. Gonna give it a shot when new grow space gets ready. I'll be following this one all the way. Great looking plants and huge difference already between the feed groups.
So to be clear, you're giving it full strength (1tsp/gal) every other water?

Correct. Feeding every other water. I only have a syringe, so I'm doing 15cc/mg per gallon of water. I'm also adding 5cc/ml of CalMag and pH-ing the water to 6.5.

Following the weekly schedule for the GH nutes. We're on Week 3 now. (I started all nutes at week two.)

Whatever you're doing is working out fantastic, the growth on your plants in the past week is amazing..plants are looking awesome man, following along with this thread for sure. Do you plan on adding another nute when you get to flower? Since the CS doesnt have potassium listed on its ratios, or you gonna run it all the way through as you are currently?
 
How long did it take for you cs to arrive after you ordered it just curious it's been 4 days now no updates
he said that it shipped in 2 days further up, I just ordered as well about 5 hours ago haha. Ill download the app Arrive, gave the option to have updates through that. Im in VT so itll take a minute to get here from Idaho

I would try contacting them on the website, they responded to me in an hour, they said it usually is shipped from idaho in 2-3 days. As in it leaves their facility in 2-3 days

I'm going to run it straight through like this. The only thing I'm adding is Cal-Mag to both.

I bought mine on a the 4th, and it arrived on 7th. (See the first two posts on this thread.) So I guess it was 4d after I ordered. I think I ordered on a Sunday though. I don't believe I got any shipping updates or anything. I'd forgotten I ordered it, and it just showed up. Right now though, I don't think that's considered an "essential business" so I'd expect delays in shipping for the next month or so.

Here’s your update, gang. CS on the left, GH on the right. Blueberry up front, White Widow in the back.

CS plants are still crushing the GH plants.

Pots were way light, so I just watered. (Hence the saggy leaves.) I’m starting to see pistols on the CS Blueberry already. (23 days after sprouting.)

you know the NPK Ratios for it? I cant find it on the website
 
CS plants on the left, GH-3P on the right. Day 16 of Veg since sprouting. Both are on the same feeding schedule. 1 day of nutes, 1 day of water.

mine just came in the mail crushed :( only lost an oz maybe but still sucks. Also it’s the regular version not the cannabis type, so I’m wondering if they have a different ingredient ratio? Or are they both the same?
