You are all going to have a chuckle at my expense for the super newb mistake I made.

So, as some of you know I like to grow the shittiest tomato plants on RIU. Well, I found out why that might be happening. After receiving help from someone who knows a fuckton more than me, and taking into consideration all of my environmental variables.

I had a bad bottle of nutrients ( dyna gro grow). The potassium or whatever precipitated out, which I noticed and thought that's why I had to shake up the bottle.

So after spending $20 on a new bottle of nutrients at the hydro store yesterday we'll see how well they do because everything else that I was doing was mostly correct.

Every time I think about it I giggle and then blush, like how tf can I build what I did and then overlook something that simple hahahahaha

I hope to god you did not buy more Dyna Gro the only thing I use of theirs is KLN. When I finish this last bottle of Protekt I will not be using that either. If you call Dyna Gro they will send you a new bottle. They are very aware of their tendency to precipitate. Hopefully you bought General Hydroponics Flora series. It's bullet proof and simple to start with. http://generalhydroponics.com/floraseries/

LOL it precipitated for me. I loved the results of the Foliage Pro in veg though. But then switching to gen hydro for bloom was irritating. The Protekt is so touchy it precipitated in my TAP WATER, for god's sake my tap water was 150. BTW as long as it works for you rock it! I could see living where you live you might not have the same issues as the high desert so the fact I don't air condition etc... might have something to do with it.

That's not a newb mistake! It's not your fault that their product failed.
I had a similar experience with DG Foliage Pro. @curious2garden & @cannabineer also have experience with DynaGro precipitation.
Mixing it with hot water didn't fix the problem either like the label says it will. Grr...
Worked great before it clumped up.
I quit using it.

I've had good luck with dynagro products.

The only problem was when mixing other additives to it.

Beautiful fish! I'm going tomorrow after I take my mom to get a bone-density scan.
I got some new line today to replace the Sufix SHIT that's on my reels currently. Don't buy that line, it's the worst line I've used in 50 years of fishing.

I'm completely straight at the moment, but not for long :mrgreen:

I'm going to give dyna gro one more chance now that I know what to look for in the bottle to make sure it doesn't happen again. If it does I'll switch to GH flora.

How do you select the bottles so you know, in advance, they won't precipitate, or if they do they will return to solution with heat? None of mine were precipitated out when I purchased them and none dissolved with heat.

Oh, I meant that if it did precipitate again I'd switch to GH flora. I just know what to look for to make sure I don't use it if it does precipitate.
