I use fox farms grow big for veg. I like the results from it. But for flower. Get the whole line lol. I have bloom 0-5-4, bud blood big bud carbo load bud candy and hammerhead. I didn't start them until very late in my last grow so I can't speak much to the results but there is zero doubt in my mind that it helped however little for how shortly I used it. Will be usin it this grow as well but also fox farms just to see. Hope I helped? Lol

I have used many nutes and have always gone back to fox farm which i personally think are one of the best made and very easy to use and dont burn.use tap water at 5.5 ph and use grow big tiger bloom and big bloom and your good great results and affordable. 3 bottle 1 liter sets for under $45 can be bought

If you use the 3 bottle need for fox farm it works great need all 3 bottle and if you can afford extras get the micro nutes open sesame,beastie bloomz and ch ching. Also if you got it a good dose of Humbodlt county gravity will harder the nugs like rocks.Then if you got little more add sweet berry scent to the mix for a good carbo stress reliever makes extra strong plants with more resin

You cant tell me that an nute deriving their phospherous from a safe, naturally balanced source isn't going to be better than one derived from some chemical reaction in a lab.

I'm not trying to "diss" GH users or GH nutes, either I got a shitty batch of nutes or this stuff isnt great for Cannabis. :leaf:

I would actually think that the synthetic man made nutrient would be better than derived from organic, synthetic nutes are made to give the plant exactly what it needs, theres a list of nutrients, macro and micro that plants require, and GH is actually spot on for plants, especially cannabis. Thats why the lucas formula is so popular and has been used by so many for years. The lucas formula isnt a stab in the dark, it is actually researched. As far as organic being better thats just opinion, it hasnt been proven anywhere, i guarantee most people couldnt tell the difference in a blind test.

Read the instructions on the back, I would use about one tsp each per gallon (11 tsps for 11 gallon res) at first (or at 600 ppms) for the age of your plants, and up it accordingly every res change until you reach 1200 ppms which I like keeping mine at when they are at full blown flowering. Also if you are using powders, what I do is pour the powder into a jar and put some water in and shake it until its desolved before adding the mixture to the res, this helps it being water soluble and reduces chunks of the stuff to collect at the bottom of the res. And this is VERY IMPORTANT! Add your Flora Micro into your res FIRST, then your Gro (if you are still using grow) then your Bloom. If you screw the order up you can lock up your nutes and plants with nute lockup. If in doubt read the instructions until you understand them, there is a reason they print them in the back. Good luck.

so by the lucas formula 0-8-16 - For Flowering cycle (12/12) G-M-B (Grow-Micro-Bloom)

I should put 88 ml of micro and 176 of bloom in my 11 gal res ?

I use tap water as well but i let it set over night before i use it to let the clorene disapate then mix neuts one at a time sturing befor adding the next one
All the way down the line by the time you have mixed all the neutrents your PH should be 6.0 at least it workes for me every time and i use the
flora series floragro-floramicro-florabloom-floralicious plus-florablend&Liquid KoolBloom I mix six galons at a time in each of my systems

In my opinion,Fuck general hydropinics,I was using flora gro,and it completely ruined my 3 different kush plants I have,so I switched to voodoo juice from advanced,and man,within ours of me using it,they began to look happier,There prices are fucking ridicolous but there products are cannabis specific,and the results are Superb.

I have been using the lucas formula and just doing addbacks to the res, well I guess my batch was shitty because the girls are doing better with some different GH. Hope this works out.

Maybe it's a stupid question, but you are shaking the bottle before using, right?

I've pretty much always used Lucas' formula in hydro with great success. However, on rare occasions, I've found some strains to not grow as well as I'd like. I'd usually have to adjust the NPK "formula" a tad. What strain are you growing?

On my current grow, I'm using FloraNova Bloom mostly, with a tad bit of Micro for the added N in veg. It's working great. I've also used PGP w/ a CaMg additive a few grows and have had excellent results with their nutes too. I've been looking at the AN nutes for awhile, just never saw the incentive to fix what's not broken. I'd be interested to see the AN vs GH case study too.
