Using Cyco Bloom A + B, Silica, Sugar Rush, Dr Repair, B1 Boost, potash, swell, and General Hydro Floralicious.
Used Cyco Pot Ash the first 4 weeks, then started swell. Never together.

Last grow I used only A+B, Silica, Dr Repair, B1 Boost, swell, and Floralicious.

So this cycle Sugar Rush, and PotAsh are my only additions.

Will do the additions in the morning and report back.

Started cutting the plant with no roots down tonight, sad story there guys.

You're using bloom food snake oils and are doomed to fail. Do you know exactly what you're giving your plants regarding elements or you just blindly throwing stuff at them hoping something sticks? I assume not since you didn't answer the question.

You've overloaded them on a bunch of stuff that is too low in N and way to high in K....and you burned the roots using too much salts.

Save yourself some time and money. Shitcan that stuff and buy a liter of Dyna-Gro's Foliage Pro. Use it from start to finish. It is complete and of the highest quality. It'll set you back a whopping $15 USD.

Appreciate it uncle ben! I am following FlowaMasta's Grow to the tee. That is why I am using them.

I have added them all up before to make sure they were within acceptable values. They were, but I feel like the Pot Ash is what over did it.

So you don't use anything else?

And yes I have the book, but have only glanced through it. First two cycles went so well -_-.

Hey Tio! So I've been following your advice and ditched my AN bloom foods untill I can figure out a way to balace them out to the correct 3-1-2 ratios. In the mean time I've been using a 7-4-4 (fox farms grow formula) and my girls look better than ever. Next time i'll stick to the 3-1-2 ratio. However I noticed that miracle gro has that same ratio and has micros. How come I see people pushing dyna grow and not MG when as far as I can tell they're pretty darn similar?

Nothing with MG. I must have a dozen different foods on my shelf. They all use pretty much the same salts.

Hmmm,,,yeah there is some signs of elevated P&K and I did mention that in my first post. . . .BUT, I don't feel that's what cooked his roots - the P&K damage is not that severe as to be the MAIN problem.....I still hold my ground on the overheating the root system.......I've seen that a lot in growers in hydro with less then 2 summers under their belt.

I believe heat was an issue for the roots too. A few times I opened the buckets up and felt like a hot thunderstorm rolled out of there. Also just letting the roots hang in a bucket, I don't know what I was thinking. Should have had them full of perilite!! Following the advice of a friend... -_-
