Dyna-Gro vs General Hydroponics (Dumpster Grow)

Awesome thanks man!! Can you tell me what would be a good feed chart/sched in soil? Because I saw your post that they are too strong for their suggested chart. Btw this will be for white widow/ice

Also just to make sure on the products I need/should get: promix hp/bx, perlite, grow, bloom, protek. Do I need mag pro, molasses, neem oil, or superthrive for soil? Thx again... Sorry for the newb questions! Just want to make sure
I get
The right stuff and feedings! +rep

Read the last 10 pages of the journal and I think that will cover all the basic and advanced questions that you may have. Good luck, DG is great stuff.
 
IMO if you follow the soil feeding chart, you will have no problems. I've been following it to a tee for the past 3 or 4 months with great results. Since your using tap water you may not need the mag pro but I would suggest picking up the Pro-tekt. In the beginning, start out with only a 1/4 to 1/2 strength with the Dyna Gro and work your way up so you don't burn em up.

Hope this helps you out some.

I did measure my tap's ph today and it was about 7.2.... I will test it again after it sits for 1 day. Won't the ph go down a little when adding grow nutes? Guess I will just test it out

I dont think that tap water will change ph much if at all. It will evaporate chlorine and esp if aerated.

Yeah it will definitely go down some when adding the nutes. In hydro you should aim for a pH of 5.8 and in soil you should aim for 6.5. Good luck.

Peace.
 
Ph/ppm is a whole new bag of worms for me :) I'm going to pop the seeds this weekend. I just have to cut hole in either ceiling or wall for exhaust then I'm ready. Can't wait!! Idk much about ppm. I'll just have to kind of wing it in the beginning...
 
Damn bro good job!! i guess you should throw down a nute schedule for your ebb n' flow and your soil grow. Youv'e got a lot of people listening. I loke how you said A/N is for newbies or people who dont know any better. I am using A/n sensi as a base and im almost done with those bottles and your right well over priced. Iam thinking about g.h. or fox farm. Just have not decided yet.Well thanks for the grow journal youve been helpfull.:clap:

At the end of this journal I switched my base nutes to dynagro. At that point I still had about 7 gallons of GH nutes left and planned to use it up in the other half of my reservoirs. Time after time now, DG continues to out-yield GH. So much so that I've decided to stop using GH altogether. While I respect GH and other 3-part systems, you can do better.
 
dyna gro beats all other nutes hands down imo and its cheaper. not to mention how a little pro tekt makes ur Ph rock solid. got to love all things dyna gro. ive been using them for about 5 years.
 
Also id like to add i use to have a spidermite problem before i started using pro-tekt. havent seen a single mite since. much better then doctor dooming up ur spot.
 
:leaf:Just finished reading the entire thread , I somehow have missed all this . Very proffesional job ,very informative.
I grow in soil and am transitioning over to DG soon . As seen how well it performed for you in soil , plus everyone I know is playing with it too. Not to mention UB's suggestions of using it . +rep to you and will be following your work . Excellent job
:clap:

Question for ya HB . I'm going to finish out my Jacks Classic b4 I switch over to Dyna-Gro . Do you think that Liquid Karma (already have sum) will fill the gaps in micro's that Jacks doesn,t cover ?

I don't think karma has any micros: http://www.americanagritech.com/supplements/liquid-karma

It's a humic acid type additive that I used to use in the dirt but after switching to DGt, I don't even bother with liquid karma anymore.

EDIT: It's just one of those additives that isn't really needed IMO. I currently use floralicious plus in my hydro system and while I wont swear by it, I do find it to provide some ascetic benefits.
