Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

I've got foliage pro and bloom. Trying out foliage pro and bloom for the first time. Any advice on how much to use and if I should mix the two ?

why on earth people feel they need to spend more money to produce the same is beyond me.

It's not just about money, it's the convenience of using something simple like DG or Jacks. When I used to run Botanicare's Pure Blend in the dirt and GH in hydro along with additives for each, I was ALWAYS making trips to the grow store. No matter how much I'd try to plan ahead and buy things that would be running out soon, I'd always miscalculate something and be back at the store two weeks later. These days, planning ahead means I buy two gallons of DG at a time and I'm set for 8 months on plant food. Furthermore, mixing up a res or a few gallons of food for my dirt girls takes no time at all. I honestly don't understand why people insist on complicating this otherwise easy process with those lines of a dozen kiddie bottles.
 
Hi Homebrewer

Im gonna start a new grow and I'll use Dyna-gro nutrients.. 2 plants, 250w hps in a 80cm x 80cm x 160cm tent, DWC with two 5gal buckets with air pump and air stone.

Dyna-grow Dyna-protekt and Botanicare-CalMag for veg and dyna-grow, dyna-bloom, dyna-protekt and Botanicare-CalMag for flora. I also will use a little bit of Nutrilife-H2O2 in veg and flora.

You said before that the dyna grow Ph flutuation is almost zero. I'm wondering if I can let the reservoir 2 days without checking ph and without putting more plain water. Because sometimes I go through a two day trip and got no one to take care of my ladies.. You think its ok?

thank you! and sorry my poor english :p

You don't need the calmag and if you use too much you'll screw up your grow. Use at your own risk.

Your pH stability depends on many things. Res size, plant size, RO vs tap water, feeding levels, etc. If you do things correctly, DG should be nice and stable for you. If you leave for a few days and come back to a pH that's not optimal, it's not that big of a deal.

I live in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro to be exactly. Our tap water here is 67 ppm on .5 scale, comparing with others tap water i think is pretty good, but some growers from here say that our water have too much chlorine, im gonna use tap water but i will let the 5 galon bucket full o water one day long to evaporate the chlorine. Or I can use water from the filter that we drink here.. the water that comes out from the filter is 55 ppm still have chlorine but much less ..My big worry is about not complete the reservoir with plain water everyday, Rio de Janeiro is too hot on summer time and the water evaporates fast..

Thank you for the fast respond and for the good information on your threads!
 
Have you every herd of the original Dyno- Grow 3 part nut system. It was 15-19-10? That's What I use, From the early 80'S. Just asking?

I heard they started with a 3 part years ago, then worked it down to a 2 part, now they've managed to jam all the elements into one bottle. Are those bottles still holding up after all these years?
 
Yes homebrewer, Just got done finishing up a free seed Dino Fem White widow auto. Sprayed bottom 2 branchs with colloidal silver to turn them male,an crossed it back to inself to make female seeds. now have over 40 seeds,for next year. I called Dyna Grow and they wanted to buy the 3 part mix. Nope I am keeping it, still work wonders for me.
 
Hey homebrewer kick ass job through and through! this question isn't really pertinent to dyna-gro, but do you keep your brewing buckets with your ladies? how much/what do you brew? and have you ever brewed with cannabis?
I love the dyna gro, bought some a couple years ago to teach myself hydro, and still have it :) It is truly awesome to see this level of production.

I don't keep anything brewing related anywhere near my ladies as sanitation is half of the equation when it comes to brewing great beer. The other half is a temperature controlled ferment....and pitching the right amount of yeast but I digress.

I brew everything from German Lagers to American and Belgian ales and I brew enough to always have maybe 5 different beers around my place.

I once 'dry hopped' with cannabis. Those beers would get you lit but it's not the most efficient use of herb, IMO.
 
I've never tried brewing but used to be somewhat of an amateur vintner. It used to be common for me to have 20-30 gallons of different wines fermenting/clearing at a time.
 
ever thought of piping your CO2 from your brew room to your grow room? Ive done the 'dry hop' with cannabis on top of some mead, and came to the same conclusion. And I absolutely love how fine tuned your methods of operation are. Quite zen, but I digress.
 
while it may not be a limiting factor, it could marginally increase yields, especially if your flower room is in the basement. Just some ideas to kick around, I really love the synergy between hops fermenting, and cannabis growing.
So I gather you use a temp control fridge with about 30 gal at a time? do you do lagers a whole lot?
