What nutrients are you guys using

I haven't personally read the documents, but this sounds 100% confirmable. So I'm going to head on down to the grow shop parking lot and start parroting the info through a megaphone. That should wake some sheeple up. Good looking out, brother!

Oh wait a minute I’m from Canada , we have unlimited peat here. Now I feel like a if]diot for yelling this in the middle of my street.

No one with common sense

To be specific, Recharge is a perfectly fine product, the Grow Dots are an exorbitantly over-priced Osmocote redux

Osmocote is not specifically formulated for cannabis so you need to monitor runoff for pH and PPM and adjust your water every time you water. Not the case with Grow Dots as it is formulated for cannabis. Now that's not to say you won't ever experience an issue but it works pretty well with Autos.
 
Soil: Mother Earth Coco-Peat Performance Blend for veg. Flower Nutrients: Dyna-Gro - Grow, Bloom and Mag-Pro. Growing in a 5 gal. Grow-Bucket with 5 gal. reservoir. Tent: 2.5 x 2.5 and light is a Mars-Hydro TS1000, pretty inexpensive setup.

Currently: Athena Blended (Bloom A&B, PK) + GH CaliMagiC & Armor Si

Previously: FoxFarm trio; GH Flora Trio + CaliMagiC, Armor Si, Diamond Nectar, and Floralicious Plus

All used in coco + perlite. Best results to date, the GH trio and extras. Worst results, the FoxFarm trio; i was always chasing problems.

Next up: trying FloraNova Grow and Bloom, CaliMagiC (if needed) and Armor Si (will still use) and Floralicious (maybe, since i still have it). I personally love GH products but the trio + extras was like 6 or 7 bottles at any one time! If i can cut that down to like 2 to 4, that's doable for me.

Replying to my own post because I've since switched to the Nova series that I wanted to try back then. BEST results to date! Still using Tupur coco. Currently using GH Flora Nova Grow & Bloom, Armor Si, CaliMagic, Floralicious Plus & liquid KoolBloom after week 2 flower. I'm using Diamond Nectar/humic additive in veg, but when I run out I probably won't get more, it doesn't seem to add any benefit with or without it so Im just using 2ml/gal until it's gone.

For whatever reason, I just can't seem to get away from using cal mag without getting an immediate mag deficiency, even when I pre-soak the pots of coco with 7ml/gal calmag at 5.9 pH to insane runoff. But so far the Nova Grow has held up best without added calmag, but still within a week of regular feed my leaves start getting tiger-striped. With Athena Grow A/B the deficiency would happen almost overnight or next day if no calmag was added, same with GH trio. Maybe my tap water just lacks it, I dunno, tap PPM is between 70-80 consistently.

Sounds like magic if true, sadly it's not.

Don't be persuaded by hyperbolic marketing
 
Even if there was some magic NPK for cannabis what legitimate reasons can they justify hitting the market at such prices over Osmocote?
Is there some massive materials or labor cost to make a canna specific NPK?

6 pounds of 16-11-11 grow dots for $150 or 50 pounds of Osmocote 15-9-12 for the same.

These gougers can suck a gooey fudge pop hard.
 
I’m using jacks 321 or 4.2 base with 1.8 calnit with power si and fulpower. Also use recharge or floralicious hand water once in a while since it’s auto water
 
DG PT for silica
DG Foliage Pro
DG Bloom

I run Promix BX unamended in fabric bags. This was my first pro mix run. 6.2-6.5 PH and follow the feed chart on their website. Super simple after I dialed in PH.

Congratulations on starting your first grow, it's an exciting and rewarding journey. Emerald Harvest sounds like a good place to start, but feel free to experiment with different nutrients to find what works best for your plants.

There are plenty of options, and everyone has their favorites. It may be helpful to check out Burlington’s favourite dispensary, it's a great source of information on all things growing. They will offer you the latest and most excellent nutrients there and share tips and recommendations from other local growers. Happy growing, I'm sure you'll have success.

The npk numbers are parts per 100. You need to find the average/mean, include the zeros to the dividing amount.
