Best growers??? Switch? Alternatives?

Hi guys just a quick 1 really, I've been growing for a few years mainly hydroponics (dwc) recently went to S.O.G with soil (organics) to get a faster harvest.

The set up is 64 plants in 3.8L rhizo (fabric) pots.

1 x 600w & 1 x 660w dual spectrum hid lights
1 x 1150w dual spectrum gavita pro de


Soil is biobizz allmix
Using biobizz fishmix (instead of their grow) with added calmag due to some deficiencys.

1 exhale co2 bag

2 fans blowing the air around

Plants have been vegged for 3.5/4 weeks and are now 4 days into flower
All healthy now no deficiencys or anything, nice lush vigorous plants.

I was hand watering but have now switched to drippers due to number off plants, now because i have switched to drippers i have read not to use organic nutes due to them being gloopy and can block drippers, so what's my alternatives?

I'm considering switching to shogun nutrients (the terra range) as i usually run with shogun nutes in my dwc set ups and have great results.

Would this be possible with light dosage to avoid nute burn etc?

If not what route would be best to go?

Thankyou in advance guys!

I'm not familiar with this theory that a soil grow is faster than Hydro ?

Wait a second I thought hydro went faster than soil have I been living a lie this whole time

He means sog is faster than vegging plants for a long time, i assume he's not vegging long

More plants less veg time i ment lol sorry

Okay that makes sense I’ve had troubles before with my nutes gumming up my nozzles I would run a solvent thru them every grow and they would generally stay clean after that but if I just went on to the next grow they would gum up real quick I try not use any salts in my drip system as they are the worst

With a good soil mix you should be able to run straight water through them drippers

Any organic nutes will probably clog up drippers, so the alternative is either plain water+dry amending soil, or mineral salt nutes like Jack's a/b.

Yup just top dress,ewc and some Gaia or Dr Earth and run straight water.

Agreed I run Gaia green products and use only silica in my water and it doesn’t get gummi at all anymore if your running living soil should just run plain water anyway
