Man Sicc your grow is awesome! Keep up the great work.
Yo Sicc...realized you're using a tent that I thought about getting. I have 8 feet high worth of space, though, and didn't want to cut it off at 5 so I'm just going to build a box.
Anyhow, my local hydro guy has grown for over ten years and tested the shit out of all of his products side-by-side, so I thought I'd offer you some info that he told me. (I like to sit and talk to him for hours about growing when I go, because he loves to share knowledge) -- You can take it how ya like, but this guy is super cool and grows some seriously amazing stuff.
I asked him about the GH line and he said it's gentle and good for people growing big crops of multiple strains and want something that has a low chance of burning anything, but other than that, won't get potentially as good of results from it as you would from CNS17 or the Canna line.
I asked him about Hygrozyme. He says he tested Hygrozyme, Sensizyme, and Cannazyme side-by-side and Cannazyme works the best, even though it has less enzymes than Sensizyme (which has the most) -- and it's cheaper.
He raves about Hydroplex, and says it's the best for flowering weeks 1 til hardener is needed instead.
As far as carbs, he says Bud Candy is the best. He's tried Sweet and all the others.
As far as hardeners, he says Gravity is the best. Using it for one week after the buds stop swelling, and stopping Hydroplex when using.
Says Organa Guano works amazing for aroma and taste for the bud, and can be used side-by-side with Hydroplex, just lessen the dosages of both, and can run Organa Guano a bit longer than Hydroplex.
Says Open Sesame works the best, and is much cheaper than competition, for early flowering site enhancement.
And for veg he says using Canna Coco, Canna Coco Nutes A/B, Rhyzotonic, and Cannazyme, and Roots Organic can't be beaten.
And when I asked him what mix he uses, he says coco.
So...that's just some info I got from someone who has literally tried everything, as he has access to an entire hydroponic store. And coming from someone who frequently gives me free shit and tells me to get things cheaper than what I planned because they're better. So I trust him, and have been having amazing results so far myself, though I need to get some new pics.
good info bro +rep. ive heard alot about hygrozyme is it the same as cannazyme and sensizyme? i guess they are just enzymes huh? what exactly do these products do to the plants? i already have a ton of nutrients that i add, should this be one of them?
Yeah, I had heard a lot about Hygrozyme too, which is why I asked him about it. The enzymes are good for your roots, which is why it's best used in veg and up through the first few weeks of flower. I can't remember the exact words he told me, but here is the description I found online for Cannazyme's purpose.
"Fast-growing plants continually develop new root cells on a continuous basis. During this process plants also reject root elements to remain in, deteriorate and pollute the growing medium. Dead root cells attract pathogenic organisms, creating harmful molds in the root environment that may damage healthy roots . This can be a serious threat to plant growth. Cannazym is a top-quality enzyme product. It consists of more than 12 different enzymes and is enriched with vitamins and desert plant extracts. Cannazym not only accelerates the breakdown of dead root materials, (hemi) cellulose, but also transforms these into minerals and glucose that provide a source of nutrition for the plants."
Right on i may have to go pick some of this up. I just get the feeling lately that i am adding waay too much product and that one shouldnt have to add so much to get a good harvest.
I've tried foliar feeding in the past with mixed results. It's really easy to burn and stress your plants so be careful. A weak, plain compost tea works well but don't mix any nutes into it, or get the Dutch Master stuff. I'm pretty sure there are a few others out there too. Sounds like Livehigh knows what he's doing. I tend to take it easy on feeding because I don't want to over do it and probably could feed them a little more often with regular nutes. About once a week works for me, but if I notice any sort of deficiencies I'm going to step it up.
i foliar with fox farm 1nce a day.. just started back doin this after stoppin foliar for a while for fear of mold
