Soil in Hydro table & 31 different products... Have I gone nuts???

Depending on the size of your new plants why not wash them off and go hydro now?
You got the "stuff" to grow just about any thing you want, ANY way you want.

I know it has been an expensive adventure for you, as is for most folk.
However I would look at it as a learning experience with parting gifts.

You have an opportunity now to try many dif combinations that many would love to have.

Thats a damn good idea. The HashBerry is just starting to take off and i really dont want to stunt them though. They got transplanted 5 Days ago so im sure they are pretty well rooted by now as I'm seeing new growth on all of them. I'm going to a NEW hydro shop today and gonna look at the Canna Coco Media & Coco A&B. A good chunk of the AN stuff I can sub for the Canna I think. Such as the Cannazyme, well I already have 4L of Sensisyme that im not gonna use on my soil anymore... Lol Same with B52 and i dont think the Canna lineup needs much else. I'm gonna get the A&B and pk13/14, thats prob it and use up the rest of my AN stuff.

We'll see how these ladies come out, who knows maybe it will be phenomenal. I was very clear with the hydro guy I wanted 2 things. 1G per watt at least & AAA++ quality. If he sold me all this shit knowing those things and I get half a p of some bammer I may have to start digging a big hole in the desert!

All my mothers from seed are going in just the dirt aforementioned dirt mixture & hand watered. They are looking pretty good so far! I have the oppisite problem of most people on those though. They are too damn short & bushy! Like <6" and on 6-7 sets of leaves and wider than tall LOL They are all growing new shoots out of every set of internodes as well, which i thought was interesting since they are still super tiny & less than a month old... But hey im not complaining~ Better than some of the wack ass seedlings ive seen on here

U should return all the advanced nutrients products and get dyna nutrients!!

LOL! Already got Canna coco media & nutes for the next grow. I wish i could tell them to stuff all this AN stuff. But it's opened and being used. Now their "Money back guarantee" is another story, I wonder what they would say if I told em I wanted a full product line refund because I wasnt "satisfied" with my results... They would prob just tell me tuff shit

make sure you do your home work on the pk13\14 basically it kills the larger roots and and helps out the smaller ones and your only supposed to use it 3 weeks before chopping with minimum nutes for one week only in hydro then you got to change the res completely i tried it in soil and there wasnt much of a difference in the lower buds.

Interesting you mention that, i was just about to use the PK13/14 in my Soildro setup. It's crazy, I pulled 1 out of its container and the top half of the pot has these fatty white roots never get flooded, which I assume take up all the air the plant needs. Then on the lower half which never dries out because i flood everyday its just a mad crazy root ball where the table floods up. So it really basically is hydro, just a crazy ass defunkt version LoL But it seems to be working. Bottom half of the pot takes up nutes & H2O and the top half the Oxygen. plus the entire root system is in soil which has nutrients & whatnot in there.

But yea Canna Coco Media & Nutrients all the way next. Keeping it simple... Well except switching the system over to Drip and drain to waste instead of a recirculating ebb & flow. It should be more efficient for nutrient usage as well.

I haven't heard anything about the PK13/14 killing any roots, just that you use it during the bud formation period and it the plant needs the extra Phosphorus & Potassium during this time. What is your source of info on that?

i think your askin alot from your hydro guy, ever heard the term its not the arrow its the indian?

that said, your on the right track ditching AN, and your also right about them tellin ya to stuff it.... they burned me for one of those nifty difty badass ballasts a while back and i swore ill never buy ANY product from advanced ever... GO TO A NURSERY do they have those out there in the desert? lol and look into some of the nutrient lines they have there they wont say kush, orboom, or have a bunch of pretty pictures.. but they will be whole and complete, itll save you alot of this

Yeah it's funny how AN fucks you and splits everything up into $100 a liter shit like "Bud Ignitor" and in reality its some low quality agricultural grade nutrients with a little kelp in it.

The Canna is pretty simple, just a base A & B same base for veg & flower just different amounts. There is a Phosphorous/Potassium booster you use for a couple weeks in bloom, it's cheap as fuck. The 1 expensive thing is the Rhizotonic, but man let me tell you. I have some seedlings in just the FF soil not in the table that I hand water, I gave them 1 feeding with the Rhizo to speed them up and DAMN they literally exploded overnight. The Hashberry are also going apeshit with the Rhizo in the Res. They may only get about an 18 day veg now! Well worth the $ IMO, I gave the seedlings some of the AN too, on separate occasions trying diff things. The AN had the same results as my RO water does LOL

to AN

Ill check out a nursery for the ones that remain in the dirt, but im ditching the dirt all together (Going to Coco/Hydro Drip-Drain to Waste) after the Hashberry except for whatever seedlings are deemed worthy of being kept. Those will just stay in the dirt.
