I'm too smart to be a victim unlike some I know.You're the victim now right?
Momma didn't raise no fool!

Bring 'em on, ya creepy troll! Let's see those pix you've saved over the years (for some strange reason.). And "someone" just happened to share my photos they saved to their hard drive of MY plants? Gawd, this is hilarious!....I have images all lined up. Some UB will not be happy to see again.. of his own plants. When you've been around as long as Ben you in inadvertently post not so great photos. Later you can cherry pic. Someone shared a few with me. Not looking good.
What scientists and professors? They work for and represent a snake oil company ya spinmeister.Do youself a favor and google amino acid chelation in plant nutrients and write all those scientist and professors that you think they're wrong.. too funny.. remember these days years down the line when you get it..
I'll send you a PM.Happenin', I have a Q. for HB & UB or anybody for that matter... I was reading about nute. intake in hydroponics. One theory that makes sense...... but I've only read this once & I need to have more answers. Measuring daily your water level will drop, if your ppm's stay the same your nute. level is right on. If your ppm's go up than the plant isn't taking them all in & you need to add water to lower your ppm's. If your ppm's go down than you add nutes. to a level that holds each day. Thanks!!!!![]()

Feeding plants properly is about balance. The 'booster' you're referring to will only benefit a plant if one's base nutes aren't already supplying adequate amounts of P and K. You can't force a plant to use more P and K than it needs (are you familiar with nutrient antagonism?) so lets hypothetically say in your universe you're actually seeing gains of 30-50% when using your 'booster', well that just means your base nutes aren't supplying your plants with the right ratios of salts.
Here is a free tip: look for base nutes that supply your plants with all the essential elements in the ratios that you find work best in your environment. Doing so will make troubleshooting easier and allow you to cut out all those unnecessary bottles that seem to do you guys more harm than good.
You're right.. Google is in on the conspiracy too. Do you have any idea how crazy you sound or how much I'm laughing at you?What scientists and professors? They work for and represent a snake oil company ya spinmeister.
When you run 1 mix for 10-12 days the ppm's are going to change generally, I have seen no ill side affects from adding nutes to the mix. If you wait till each mix your missing many stages of a plants growth spurts. What a plant needs can change every few days.Your ppms are 'parts per million' of general salts in your mix. Let's say you started with 1000ppm. Then the next day you tested and it was 900ppm. The idea is that the plants have taken in more nutrients then water. NEXT mix you might be able to go harder with the nutrients. If you tested the water and it said 1100ppm then it's the other way around. You're plants are taking up more water then nutrients and you should dilute your nutes more. If I test it and it comes back at 1000 like the original mix then you're in the sweet spot. The plant is taking up water and nutes at the same rate.
Don't let any idiots tell you to add more nutes to your mix while it's running. That is wrong. You should only add pure pH'd water to top off your res daily. In large commercial grows they have much better equipment that will tell them what elements are missing. Then and only then can they make the supplement to be added biased on their readings. Those meters are thousands of dollars.
Hey Roger Dodger, answer the questions. Can't do it, can ya?You're right.. Google is in on the conspiracy too. Do you have any idea how crazy you sound or how much I'm laughing at you?
You're an apologetic aren't you? You have that lack of logic.
In general you're running a risk. What 'might' happen and what they want to avoid is something like this. Imagine the plant is using more of one element then another. Let's say that there is K being left behind and we keep topping off with our general mix. At some point the K or whatever element can build up to a level that starts to wreak havoc with other processes. To be optimum, with out the ability to know what elements are left behind, is to dump the tank and get a full mix of fresh nutrients. It seems wasteful and I did get tired of all the waste water with hydro... but that is the only way to be sure your plants are getting everything they need. You can always tweak to your preference but these are the general guides. 1 week with nutes and dump or 50% of the water has be replaced with pure water for a recycling system whatever comes first. There are exceptions. If you have one 4x4 inch cube and 100 gallon res then that doesn't really apply..When you run 1 mix for 10-12 days the ppm's are going to change generally, I have seen no ill side affects from adding nutes to the mix. If you wait till each mix your missing many stages of a plants growth spurts. What a plant needs can change every few days.Thanks for the input... I'm starting to agree with ppm nute. intake
lol whats the point of adding guano when you have so many synthetic nutes. if your plants survive this massive onslaught of chemicals there gonna taste like shit. go all 100% organic or not at allIm using advanced nutrients sensi grow and bloom im going to switch to bloom in a day or two wanted to see if some one could help me out with a feeding chart i looked on advanced site and its really crapy and does not have all the info i need im using
Sensi Bloom A&B
Big Bud
Bud Candy
B52
Bud Blood
Final Phase
Bush Master
OverDrive
Cha Ching
Phosphoload
Bat GuanO Mexican
and i mite pick up some
Nirvana
Rhino Skin
Bud Ignitor
VooDoo Juice
if you think i should add something or not use something all input welcome thank you
Sounds like someone feels threatened.. lol Since your so keen on it. Why don't you "post the lack of benefits of applying amino acid laden supplements to plant material. I want the proof to be from a non-partisan, non-bias, scientific organization such as a university who follows proper and standard testing conventions such as replicating the study three times with exactly the same conditions and procedures and of course..... using a control group."Hey Roger Dodger, answer the questions. Can't do it, can ya?
I never seen a bigger or healthier root mass than a DWC or aerogarden .......![]()
Yes, that.edude your better off arguing with a brick wall that arguing with these dudes dont even waste your breath on them there not worth your time
Hehe, if only.I thought mudslinging and deflecting issues was for politics. LOL
Huh? No electrolytes?hey everyone im looking for some opinions ive been useing general organics starter box im useing
veg
-bio thriev grow
-bio root
-bio weed
-bio marine
-cal/mag
-black diamond for the first two weeks of veg only
bloom
-bio thriev bloom
-bio bud
-cal/mag
-sweet by botanicare i add that

im on day 15 of flowering and im not impressed i want to start useing some of advance nutes for my next batch couse i have a sea of green going
for my next line ive chosen the following by advance nutes
veg
-sensi grow
-sensi cal/mag
-rhino skin
-voodoo juice
bloom
-sensi bloom
-sensi cal mag
-bud candy
-big bud
-bud factor x
is this a good line up pls i need help befor i run out of my general organics
If you are still looking to get some organics in the mix, AN Nirvana is a good additive to throw in the mix. Overdrive last two weeks. UBen is right about one thing, Electrolytes are crucial if you want to keep your plants energized.hey everyone im looking for some opinions ive been useing general organics starter box im useing
