It's pretty clear, at least to me, that this is his first rodeo. He hasn't ever seen a harvest, hence no bud pics.
Blah blah blah, post some nugget pics like HB did, twice.
On to the next topic. Seed & strain reviews. Sorry I don't stoop to those levels.
What level is that, bawse?
My opinion, is that yes, advanced nutrients works... but so does general organics/hydroponics, cyco, & vegamatrix.
Kristoff, is like to ask after using the micro, grow and bloom from one company, let’s say GH. Do you think adding silicate, enzymes and calmag from different companies will hurt my plant that’ll be in a dwc?My opinion, is that yes, advanced nutrients works... but so does general organics/hydroponics, cyco, & vegamatrix.
My issue, is with the billion and one WORTHLESS additives they (&most others) sell. Im sorry, but NOBODY could tell the difference - (visually or smoke-test wise) between the 2 plants grown with terpinator & a few other "bells and whistles" AN additives, in addition to the standard grow, bloom, Calmag, pk booster nutes that they were all getting. Thankfully we didnt pay for it, but scored it free at a trade show.
I prefer cyco for coco dwc but I only use their grow (a&b) bloom (a&b) & their potash booster - occasionally calmag if theyr asking for it. Oh - and mykos at germination (in the damp paper towel) & transplant (in the dirt). Maybe Im just lucky... but im pulling 0.8-1.2grams/watt, without all the extra, expinsive nutrient add-ons.
If Im growing organic, in soil, I use Fox Farms Ocean Forest mixed 4-1 with perlite. Mykos used same as above. I prefer the Vegamatrix line for soil, but again - I only use the grow, bloom & booster. Maybe its the soil, maybe the strain, or both - but I just dont seem to have CalMag issues regularly, & I often do fine without it. Def keep it on hand, though. In short - especially if youre new, I recommend just sticking with a company's "grow, bloom, boost" basic nutes, so you can get an idea if what your baseline is, & can use that baseline to help guide you in nute decisions for future grows. Best of luck!
No. Just watch the nitrogen content in your cal mag... I rec reducing your “grow” fertilizer a tad after adding cal mag, so u dont overdo the nitrogen, but other than that... you can absolutely mix and match companies nutes
just take care that youre mixing them in the proper order - ESPECIALLY when adding your silicaNo. Just watch the nitrogen content in your cal mag...

It looks like your trying to have a photo contest here, doesn't really help your argument either. This bud looks pretty but I've seen bud from 10 different grows "look" better than that and "look" more potent.Pollen-chucked and grown with 'cheap nutes', whatcha got?
Thank you very much fellow green thumb. I appreciate your help.
Bigger yield in a shorter time, sounds like a win/win. Wonder why more people don't use it. How do you know when to flush if AN shortens flowering times? Should I use AN's flushing solution, I don't wanna taste chemicals. Thanks
I haven't used it yet, I've heard the "final flush" makes it taste better, I don't quite believe it. I'm sure some of their products are bullshit.
I disagree on only needing flushing if u overfeed. I will agree with that statement concerning Cyco nutrients. But pretty much every other nute line creates salt build up, because the N, P & K are bound to larger molecules, and when pulled OUT of those larger molecules, salts are left behind that need to be flushed. Its one of the reasons it’s recommended to give only pure water every 2nd or 3rd feeding/watering with most nute lines. Cyco... theyre a different animal. Cyco provides NPK in much smaller molecule sizes, and I HAVE seen non-flushed bud turn out well when cyco is used sparingly. Even then, you really need to know what youre doing to pull this off. Accurate knowledge of exact nutritional requirements is a must. But for everything else... flush.
If you dont want to have to flush - youll need to go straight organic. Living soil, no till coots mix, etc.

Right here is where you are correct but need to look again, those "salts" you are referring to can't be taken up by the plant and put into the bud, only movable forms of NPK can be moved around through the stock and into the leaves and buds.
