@GemuGrows but then again cost-effective vs results comes into play a lot, that's why i'm in organic water-only soil mixes
i used to use as much as 5 or 6 bottles and as few as 2, but i never got as cost-effective results, yield, and quality with organics, & the bottles were burning holes in my wallet slowly..
I probably will transition into no-till this year
clackamas coots is the man, a lot of really kind honest people showing me his approach to gardening and i gotta try it myself at least a few cycles
but all in all brother 15 bottles is too much imo and i think a lot of people would agree, i'd look into simplifying the feed schedule if staying with the bottles, or maybe look into going to organics if that is something you would ever be open to?? but most of all good luck and happy growing!!
I definitely don't use 15 bottles at once, but I'm also counting my soil ammendments/compost tea recipe in with that. I have a hydroponic tent and a 100% organic tent. Soil amendments and compost tea brews definitely stack up the numbers.
I wanna do No Till, but I feel like I learn something new each run and if I did no till I wouldn't have as much of an opportunity to apply what I learned, but i'm sure you have been at it much longer than me hah. I'm 21 I started when I was 19
jeez man, yesterday I stopped short of saying the hydro store guys saw you coming, thinking it was a harsh statement!
If you're pushing customers to buy 15 bottles over a simple few bottle setup. You shouldn't be working in a hydro store IMO.
you wouldn't be trolling us would you?!
I've never pushed a customer to buy 15 bottles, and i can't imagine why I would. I have a ton of products available which are cheap as hell to me so I might as well try things out. I don't like to sell people things I haven't tried myself, so I use as many products as I can within reason.
I've never done a single up sell. I don't get commission and i don't care if my store makes a buck, i work there because I enjoy it not because I need the money
How I grow and how I teach my customers to grow is very different. Personally I spend a lot of time experimenting so I can round off my knowledge as much as possible.
I think my question regarding simple regiments vs complex regiments was taken out of context. I was really just wondering if you guys had experience with simple vs complex. I've been growing less than 2 years and while i have a fantastic head of knowledge, you can only gain experience so fast. Just seeing if you guys have experience with this type of thing.
Money isn't important to me. Whats important to me is growing the best shit I possibly can, and #2 important is my yield.
Us hydro shop workers have a bad rep so I understand why you maybe jumped to conclusion, i can honestly say that my customer's success and personal learning are the only two things I care about at work, my shop making a buck doesnt even place on my list. Not that it doesn't make money, thats just not my goal at all
That busted leaf is from my buddy pulling on it
These plants are getting some light bleaching they are too close to my light but its as high as I can get it, temps are between 69-72f at canopy. This is my best grow yet but I still learned a few important things, such as White OG stretches like a mofo.. Another reason money isnt that important is that I don't actually smoke weed..
If anybody sees anything wrong with my plants please let me know, i've noticed a few things i gotta do different but i'd be happy to get some opinions

"The hydroponics industry and marijuana growers are reacting with worry and outrage at the news that Scotts Miracle-Gro (
an admitted corporate criminal that sells low-end fertilizers, Monsanto’s Round-Up, and other poisons), has purchased hydroponics nutrients manufacturer General Hydroponics.
Scotts Miracle-Gro also purchased General Hydroponics affiliate “Bio-Organic Solutions” that markets products under the Vermicrop label.
The purchase was made by a Scotts Miracle-Gro front company called “Hawthorne Gardening Company,” a wholly-owned Scotts subsidiary formed in 2014."
Also (seriously 110% just trying to get your opinion, not trying to be a dick), What exactly is your point with this post? I feel like you layed out some good information but then didnt add your opinion or a conclusion.
Was I wrong about Miracle Grow owning GH or were you agreeing with me? If I was I definitely want to know, i hate being wrong so if i've been messing up on that i'd honestly love to know hah
