One stop shopping my friend. i've used just bloom for a year or so and I love it. Short and fat plants, perfect for anyone looking to save money and still get the perks of GH. The buffers work great if you're in more than 5 or so gallons. I run with 11. 400ish in veg, 600ish in flower for RDWC...what more could one say.

You are a wise grower. I have read too many post about sick plants with a list of 5 or more different additives they were using. They were clearly either burned or had nutrient lockout and most answers recommended adding something else to 'fix' it.
On my last grow I switched to GH micro(1 part) and GH bloom(2 parts) all the way and only added a little GH Coolbloom in flower. My plants were very robust and healthy. I would have stayed with the NovaBloom but I need to use a syringe to inject the nutes into my res and I couldn't with Nova since it is thick as molasses.
Keep us posted please. I would like to see how your screen fills.

That looks mighty fine Dank! It looks like you're on your way to some fine buds! Keep us posted. I am between grows right now but I like to watch.

Yeah, I tried using additives early on but had absolutely no luck...I use Nova Bloom, ZHO, and Aquashield...no issues, stable as can be. Whats funny, as soon as I add anything else it all goes haywire. I'll post a few when i get the screen filled.

It starts to get interesting when they hit the screen. I couldn't leave them alone to poke through before tucking them back under. I just kep everything underneath as much as possible. Onow it's all coming through and flowering it looks mental!
Got about 5 weeks to wait til it's all over...

This will be my first scrog...I played with my nutrients long enough to get comfortable in RDWC before putting a screen in and locking myself out of the pot. Anyway, here's a question i could probably answer myself but will ask anyhow. Why do some use string for the netting and others use wire?

I just used thr first thing that came to hand. Wooden frame and a ball of string. Here's what experience has taught me: plus sides of string are that you can move the squares somewhat to hold down awkward tops. It's quite 'soft' on the stems, I suspect using wire I would have done some damage by now.
Not so plus sides: sooner or later it's gonna snap! I stapled my string to the frame so when it snapped I only lost one length. Now Dank looks like he's used a much better quality string, poly or some synthic rather than natural fiber. Better for not harboring moisture/rot/disrase too.
After this run the screens getting a revamp. The local farmers co-op/garden center has some hard plastic netting stuff that looks perfect. The only thing I can't decide is whether to do individual screens mounted to sturdy plastic pots, or use one screen for all again. I'll probably have a better idea after this grow's finished, but I may be leaning towards individual units.

I just had a quick google...
I thought I liked the idea of individual pots/screens so they could be moved from veg to flower easily, now I've seen a tent full of them i'm not sure. The single suspended screen just looks like less of an arse to work with.
I just thought of an excellent reason to use string rather than wire mesh or simelar, you can open a square up a bit and reach through from the top to work/ pick up your dropped watsit. My hands wouldn't fit through a 2x2 inch wire mesh...

Dank used his string differently to me, too. Lots of lenths looped round each other to hold in place.
I started in one corner, went up and diwn accriss the screen with one length using staples to pin the string to the frame. When I was going left to right I went under then over alternately to make it one net rather than one layer of string over another. Again, no idea which will work out better, but I tecon my squares will more easily sgift about and become rectangles than Dank's which seems firmer set in place. I had to retension my string too once the plants pushed up on it. That's when a snapped the bastard.

I use heaver 2 X 3 in wire fencing. For me it was easier to do.... just clipped the fencing to the right size and bent about 2 in of each long edge to a 90 deg angle to stiffen it up, then tied it to my tent poles. When I tried string I found that it stretched too much making it hard to weave my plants and have them stay where I put them.
LOL, turkey wire? Is there a such thing? I think it's called 2 inch chicken wire...Large holed chicken wire? So... Turkey wire?
