Switching From Dyna Gro to AN Sensi Grow 2part

[JBXDJ]

I've been using dyna gro for the past three weeks and cannot seem to get my ph down. After doing some research I've switched to Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow. Ive been using Spring water bought from the store. Now with the sensi gro it recommends that you use reverse osmosis water. I do not have a reverse osmosis filtration. What is my next best option as I do not want to use tap water?

Why not use tap and why not use PH down?

Dyna nutes (Gro, Bloom, FP) all bring down PH. Protekt brings it up.

I'm with Dad. Use tapwater no matter the brand of nutrients unless it's untested well water. Any municipal supply will have a water report available every quarter. RO systems are expensive and hauling water gets old and is nearly always totally unnecessary.

Go back to dyna, adjust ph, grow.

I've tried using ph down its just not working.. lost three seedlings in the past three weeks. Dyna wasn't doing anything. My ph was at a 7.2. I had three seeds sprout and then do nothing except slowly wilt away. Here in fl my room stays 78 results at 75 all times. Growing in grodan rockwool in pots of perlite. 300w galaxy hydro 2 cfls.

why are you giving nutes to a sprout? Not the dyna gros fault, user error

 

[JBXDJ]

Not using well water, I've just read not to use tap water. Only reason I asked about the water for sensi was because on the back it actually recommends usING ro water

 

[JBXDJ]

Did not know your not supposed to

 

[JBXDJ]

So how long until I can give them nutes.

So how long until I can give them nutes.

you can add a small amount and work your way up when they get to be about 2-3 inches tall
what dyna did you use for that rockwool?

 

[JBXDJ]

Foliage pro

 

[GIJonas]

If you can grow with dyna then spending more on nutes won't work either. Just wait before feeding. Sprouts can grow like a damn month with water alone.

 

[chuck estevez]

Foliage pro

probably not the best choice for hydro,but still, you don't give nutes to a seedling unless it is a super small dose.

 

[JBXDJ]

By far it was not the recommended dosage on the bottle they recommend 10 - 15 ml per gal and I used 2 ml per gallon for 4 gallons

May I ask why you choose dyna over advanced nutrients

May I ask why you choose dyna over advanced nutrients

i use dyna in peat moss, it works great, it is a 1 part.
AN is the most worthless piece of shit company out there and i wouldn't give them a penny if i pissed on it.

May I ask why you choose dyna over advanced nutrients

Because dyna is complete, costs a lot less and is a single part system.

 

[JBXDJ]

So which dyna should I use. I have foliage pro and now part a and b of AN sensi grow. Your saying that the duns would give better results?
