Yea, I've been pretty wrapped up here myself. Between work and dicken around the house, I haven't had time to get on here much.

What other kinds of nutes you using? Just you standard VEG/BLOOM nutes? Or are you throwing in some other supplements?

For General Hydroponics, I use the Flora 3-part (Micro, Veg and Bloom), Floralicious Grow and Bloom, and KoolBloom.

For Fox Farm - I will be using: Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha Ching

I will but i don't think it will be a fair comparison - unless i screw up the Fox Farm grows as bad as I have the last two GH grows!

and for the current grow -- i'll be switching nutrient brands mid-stream so who knows how that will affect them.

but the results should still be interesting ... we'll see i guess. i'll be adding my first Fox Farm nutes later tonight. if my plants recover - it may be the start of one of the best cases of confirmation bias for using Fox Farm nutrients ever!

i did flush them because i'm changing nutrient brands. Going from General Hydroponics 3-part (plus supplements) to Fox Farm 3-part (plus supplements)

You never did mention why you decided to switch.
Run out of GH and wanted to try something different? Or do you think the GH nutes you had were not working right?

LOL - the reason i am switching brands is because i just started using RO water. The General Hydroponics Micro hard water formula was the only nute brand i was aware of designed for hard tap water so i used it - though i should add that i did try the Flora Nova series too.

My primary reason is I want the experience of using other nutrients. My suspicion is the nute brand is not very important to growing awesome weed. I also suspect that any brand nutes properly administered will get the job done.

But i'd rather be able to say - "my experience has been.. " rather than "I think or suspect that.... " Do you know what i mean?

And why Fox Farm as the first test?
Price, company is family owned and relatively small, feeding schedule is similar to GH, organic (whatever the hell that means), and they have a cool tiger drawing on their Tiger Bloom product.

I'll eventually try Advanced Nutrients, Botanicare, Dutch Masters, etc...

House and Garden Van De Zwaan

who knows? GH has served me well and i am guessing i'll probably end up using it again (especially since i still have a good bit of it).

although by the time i get around to investing in Advanced Nutrients - my system and experience might be fine-tuned enough to actually benefit from them ... oh the tangled web of experiment!

i mean the whole growing marijuana part - that is step one. then i'll move on to cloning and then maybe breeding.

i did pick up this book (I bought it but here it is freebie but no pictures/drawings):Marijuana Botany - Marijuana Growing Guide
which is very in-depth and insightful.

i think it is worth the cover price (or at least worth the half.com cover price).
the illustrations are very well done and clarifies things.
