The Best N-P-K

General Hydroponics ATW.. check out MaxiGrow, MaxiBloom, and KoolBloom. They have everything your plants need. The dry mix lasts a long time

Quite funny really. http://www.homehaveninteriors.ca/common/pdfs/ecochem/EC-Maxi-Grow.pdf

I don't know what's more comical, the inclusion of amino acids, vitamins, or the arsenic. Then you've got trace elements listed under elements.

I think the only thing they forgot to hawk as included was Eye of Newt.

Maxi-Grow offers numerous advantages in many different growing mediums. It conserves energy
in plants, improves photosynthetic efficiency, aids in biological nitrogen fixation and solubilization
of soil minerals, suppresses plant pathogenic organisms and replenishes and maintains long-term
soil fertility by providing optimal conditions for soil biological activity. Maxi-Grow can promote plant
growth, even when the plant is under nutrient stress.

OK, but can it reverse middle age balding if applied daily?

Why is that flowering plant all wet?

Here is a pic of her biggest bud 2 days after her shower

as you can see dry and happy

thought I'd post it so folks don't worry

She's a beauty! I know some people mist their plants during flowering, I mean they get rained on outside. Outdoors there is a lot of UV, wind and other factors that keeps mold growth to a minimum though. I suppose as long as your humidity is low enough and you have good enough air circulation it probably won't cause problems.............as long as you don't bathe the buds every other day or some shit. It's just one of those things that when I see it I'm always like "Why?". Anyways, what strain is she? How long ya got til you can sample a nug?

Wow, really?

Do you know SeeMoreBuds?

Have you read his book (yes, he's published), or watched any of his videos (DVD released)?

Have you ever used GH nutes before?

I've NEVER had a deficiency from these products.

She is a KC Brains Northern Lights Special, 2004 Cannabis Cup Winner

and today started her 7th week of flowering

hey riddleme... nice bud..........have you got tyvek on your walls?

My grow area is lined with a car windshield sunblocker available at walmart (auto section) for $8

here is Matilda in the shower but very dry (light in there is better for pics)
so you can really see her in all her glory
(taken this morning week 7 + a day)

Update. I have new clones in soil-less at the moment using Dyna-Grow Pro Foliar and they are doing great. This particular strain likes light nutrients so I'm feeding them around 1/2 tsp per gallon or around .75 EC. These cuttings were taken from a mom with root rot and were very hard to get rooted, but they have recovered and are growing at a fantastic rate.

The reason I chose to go with a high N fertilizer is because the plant grows so fast and I believe N is the main fuel used for growth. In fact, corn farmers spray 100% anhydrous NH3 (ammonia) on the ground to provide copious levels of N. Given that cannabis is one of the fastest growing fiberous plants, it makes sense that it needs high levels of N.

Anyway, so far the Pro Foliar is proving to be excellent. I literally would not recognize the plants from one day to the next - that is how fast they are growing.

Bwahahaha.. I just noticed what you linked isn't made by General Hydroponics, not even close.

That should fill you in on what you've been missing out on.. for the past decade!

Things sound like they are coming along quite nicely. Very good to hear.

Did you say you added nutrients to the cloning mix?

Or, was it you were spraying your clones with a light solution of nutrients?

I don't think so, been doing this for over 14 years when GH was just making it on the scene. GH sux. If you had a handle on plant nutrition and value added products you'd understand that.

You want a NPK ratio of 3-1-2. with micro-nutrients.. You don't need a bloom formula...

Don't plan on growing strictly organic in containers.

Please focus on aeration.

Flowering depends on lighting not on nutrients.

You don't need 1K to rock it!

Sounds nice. Are you using it in the water for the roots or as a foliar spray?

Any other nutes/additives being used?

Excellent points. A slow release food (encapsulated) of a 18-6-12 works really well too. I buy such a product in 25lb. bags, has chelated micros too. All plant material love it, and they should - plants do better receiving less than more over time.

No foliar feeding, just regular watering.

I use a clone solution for cloning followed by very light feeding titrated to maintenance levels. Although I have noticed that my clone solution like my other nutrients have formed precipitants that concern me - these are Ionic products.

I am in the process of building a clone machine using a fogger. In the next couple days, I will take clones from my new mothers and see if any systemic Pythium prevents new root formation. Judging from the health of the mothers, I do not suspect this will be an issue. I am looking foreword to debunking the notion that strains with root rot can not be saved.

The new clones will go into the ebb and grow and I will see how the Pro Foliar does in hydro. I will probably start with an EC around 1200 and let it rise on it's own until I find a good level. So far, my plants are loving this stuff.

Really, as someone with a biology background, I have a different perspective from most on many products. Plants, like humans have pretty basic needs and I would bet that the new hydro craze is much like our billion dollar health food / supplement industry that is 99% snake oil. Plant health like human health is dependent on sound, basic nutrition. All the extra stuff is simply superfluous and it would not surprise me to learn that products four times as costly are actually inferior to those with solid reputations.

Tecniflora has a great recipe for their success.

 

[madcatter]

This grow I have been using less nutes and am more dialed in on the other factors... temp, light, heat, water... and this grow is huge compared to last... .ast time I had 15 5 gallon pots in my 4X4 grow tent and it wast crowded...

This time I have 9 pots in the grow ten and the other 6 under a seperate 600 w hps.... these 6 would almost fill grow tent again....

part of it was the other factors, but less nutes really is more....

Indeed! I want to know how much this recipe costs... or maybe I don't.
