That and I get the feeling there was a bit of a metorship going on between the Netcar crew and the kid that runs C.B. It didn't look like the breakup was particularly friendly. Eh either way, don't really care. I started Nectar in late 2019 when the line I was using (Green Planet) was changing up their line and some things weren't available anymore. The hydro girl recommended Nectar, so after I ran out of G.P. I gave it a shot.
Honestly the most fun growing I've had since I started. So I'm probably going to stick with them for a while... that and I'm slightly invested at this point.
It’s a rabbit hole … I still have a bunch of 2.5 gallon jugs I’ll use up soon … pretty much both lines work together cause they use the same ph to a degree , still use some nectar with cultured …lol

Yep I'm right there with you I'm running the Roman regimen with everything in between and the products been the best I've had so far. I love this style of growing. I'm going to have to bump it up to gallon size bottles this time. In mid and late flower I was flying through the boneyard bottles buying the quarts every week.

Yeah I know you don't really follow a schedule, you just do your thing and your plants look amazing. You've been my guru.

You know thinking about it I really don't have to fill up the 4x8 all the way I think it may even be better to have a couple plants in there and then a couple plants in the veg tent that way I'm pulling off a harvest every couple months and also I don't have to veg them for 8 weeks I can keep a rotation of smaller plants going. So what do you think should I hang my three bar style lights in my 4x8 and put my 150w ts1000 in the veg tent? Ooooor should I put my two bar style Se3000's in the 4x8 and put the bar style
fce 3000 in the veg tent. I don't know if the 150 watt ts1000 is enough for my 3x3 veg tent.
some point I’ll show u a few things you can drop from normal feed and add it in on tea days …. Only thing a person can over do is BK , if not other things are not in check …. But what it’s come down is cost, time and still have the same or better product….

Yeah. Their whole pricing of buy 75% get 25% free really makes the larger sizes worth the money if you know you're going to stick to the line. I've gotten to where I quit taking samples from my hydro guy of anything that's not nectar. He's tossed me fish shit and recharge, I tried the recharge and it fuckered my ph in the last 4 weeks of flower. Tossed out the whole pack. Never even opened the fishshit. Between SLF, photo+, MammothP, Mycs&Azos, the nectar life, and the CB life, I figure I've got enough life battling it out in my soil. I'm probably going to pull out the mammoth-P I can't definitively say I've seen any differences between my grows with and without it. So I'm in the process of scaling back my biological innoculants, probably done with CB when it runs out too. Pluto&Apollo, Mycos & Azos, Photo+, and SLF are going to probably be my final life 'recipe.'
I've got at least 2 more years of screwing around with Nectar, maybe longer. This is my 5th nute system, I think. Pretty much my favorite so far.
150 watt will do fine in a 3x3 ..I’m going from a 400w in a 4x4 to a 250w , cause really don’t need a whole lot cause there under 18/6 light . Now under 12/12 light then I’ll need it cause of less hours …. More hours less power , less hours more power.

I'm thinking if I only use my two LEDs in the 4x8 it will give me extra room for my big oscillating fan dehumidifier and a humidifier when needed plus it'll give me a little extra room to get in there. Yeah I don't know what I could drop. I usually use BK as much as I can LOL. This last run I was foliar feeding BK at 5 ml every morning all the way up until the second week of flower and I think I went up to like two tablespoons of BK at one point in flower. And you know using that much BK I had to use a lot of everything else.

I also use mammoth P, Ez teas, slf 100, microbe life photo+, nourish, and yeild enhancer, one shot, biochar,
fish shit won’t mess with anything …. Mammoth P , I would just use what nectar has Tritons trawl has the P …..mycos & AZos, (Bigfoot ) ( dynomycro)
BK use more up which equals $$$$ ….lol

I still have the bottle of fishshit, just haven't used it because right now I know my PH and PPMs are 100% stable. I absolutely use Tritans, probably my second favorite nectar bottle after Persephone's. Still don't have Circe's down here yet, but I got a sample bottle last year and really liked the flavor of my bud that harvest, still waiting for my hydro store to get it in stock.
As far as I know Mammoth P doesn't have any P in it, it's just supposed to be a P fixing blend of bacterium. I'm just not sure it's fixing anything more out of the soil than what I'm already using in photo+ and cultured biologix.

Their latest show Scott talked about Pig Farmer doing a water + BK only watering right before switching to his final flush and pulling everything out of the soil that it can and getting incredible density in his buds. I'm 3 weeks out and pretty sure I'm going to give this a try this go around and see what happens.

Yeah Mammoth p doesn't actually have p in it just the p fixing microbes. It is pretty expensive too but you only use a very small amount. I read all the labels on the microbes and Mammoth p has microbes that cultured biologix and microbe life doesn't.
Edit: I’m on the sample regimen but have One Shot also. 3rd day of 12/12
So are teas and flushes necessary? I am on my 2nd grow and have no experience with either. I ordered some Cultured Biologix EZ Tea Bloom. It should be hear tomorrow. Been having issues probably due to my 8.4 ph tap water with a .5 EC. As I was told by you guys, make sure PPM in soil is around .6 does that mean I should feed heavy a couple days before the tea? As far as flushes, do you look for anything before flushing like in a slurry test?
I’ve been feeding every watering, until a tiny bit of runoff (fabric pot) then let them dry out until they are just the weight of the plant pretty much. Maybe I’m letting them dry too much.
@bubba73 They are still growing since the adjustments I made, upping the feed, using HD before adding nutes etc. You could probably tell better than I if it’s progressed or not. I’ll post some pics tomorrow…but I don’t think they have gotten worse. Lol.
