What are you feeding today ?

[Buckeyetoker]

Meh, I dunno. Just like full spectrum lights I think you can actually do better if you tune things for the specific stages of growth.

I like simplicity. I do my own mixes throughout the grow but to have one main nutrient to me is priceless. Mother Earth doesn't look down and say "hey, that plant is flowering" then send down more P&K. It's already there for the plant to intake when needed. As far as lights go...Heat, energy and ease I'll stick with LED full spectrum. Even if I could get 1 more ounce a grow I doubt I would switch from from my feed or lights. And that is why this hobby is so great. You may be into the more scientific approach with multiple nutrients and changing lighting to mimic the seasons and all that. I think that is so cool to see you guys do that. For me..maybe after I retire. LOL.

I get what you are saying...and it will work great if you dial in some strains.

But what do you do if it requires a bump in P or more K or its an N whore. That is the advantage to 2 or 3 part mixes.

And truthfully i think (non organic), it is the biggest reason i prefer salts. PREFER salts. AN is paying for water and dies and not allowing yourself the flexibility of salts.
And i love listening to Dr Buckabee. Nasa Growers know.

But if you grow with something well...i say dont change it. Why change it if it works.

I just get bored easily and have to try everything...ADHD grower.

Ill lower the MC amount and use Bud Explosion or Massive bloom. I keep Cali-mag plus (2-0-0) and Cali-Magic. A lot of MC guys just up the amount of MC for a P&K boost. I like to tinker too. But Ive had amazing results with just MC all the way through. The pic below (generic blue dream) isn't bad for 1 nutrient all the way through. Zero additives. Boring though..

 

[OldG]

I have bud explosion as well.... I use it in bloom sometimes with salts when i need a K bump.



If it works... i still have 15 pounds of MC version 2. I use it. I just use it in veg now.

To use it in bloom i would remove half the calnit. the white lumps.

@OldG, Im interested in this "flower girl" I see some talking about. I think @Frimpong uses it. About feeding...Id say it's more than soil nutrients that we feed. We feed them through the environment and lighting. So that being said ......for some of you master growers, what order would you put genetics, environment, light and nutrients?

I'd say the order u put them in . But that's just me . And I ain't no master grower lol ?

 

[Buckeyetoker]

And I ain't no master grower lol

You are now...After this next grow and my buddies are blown away and ask me about it Im gonna say..I know this "master grower" named Frim I got these genes from..

I am a master at hiding the bad ones lol.

 

[OldG]

I think the biggest thing to know is if it works !

It is not wrong.

Any law of growing i ever learned as a newb or otherwise has been since shown wrong by @Jewels

But he can GROW.....so temps are just a problem you dial in

And @Jewels...i am going to send the beans... i ate all the brownies but i might bake a new batch today...

And i found my last of the caramel drizzle...

My favorite dude to show me that you dont need tremendous funds to grow...you just have to really understand how it grows.

Hey teacher, Don't let me do this wrong. LOL. SORRY, ripped and listening to Floyd. ALRIGHT, BACK TO BUSINESS. I use jacks 321. Acquired the 10 30 20 bloom, I have read to give it 2 weeks before flip , but also flip and feed for first two weeks? I'm leaning towards flipping then feeding. I am also wondering about the calcium and magnesium during those weeks? Should I be adding any of these? Thanks ✌

Jacks is jacks...follow their guide.

I am on my own trail... and boomers may be REQUIRED learning.

Fox Farm Trio & BushDoctor Cal-Mag. Finally got a feed schedule figured out with this stuff... ?

 

[Hawkman]

Yeah its one of the best nutes I've used, and I've used a lot of different brands both wet and dry.
It's super highly concentrated and lasts a long time too so is really cost effective, I've done 3 ful 8x8' room grows using the same 1 gallon jugs I bought years ago. Never see deficiencies and it grows a great tasting product. Easy to use, ph stays stable, a mixed res looks like plain water.. Can't say enough good things about it. I'd like to see a bit more potassium in the mag pro, but it all works awesome as is.

have used/tried many - advanced nutrients , Louts and Humbolt County's Own are just a few -- some years ago got the own line of Himbolt County Own for $15.00 )it's $100.00 now) FYI- but have never gotten the results as I got from Humbolt going to get the own line again when I can stop spending my money on seeds !!! Help

For the last year/4 grows I've been running full line of General Organics liquid nutes with supplements of their Si and addition of blackstrap with an occasional guano boost for flavor.
Ph'd water is variable between 5.5 and 7 throughout grow.

nice and simple !!! that's the way for guano a very old guano nutrient and a great one is "Super Tea" and "Budswell" been around for 20 years + (FYI)

no claims at being a master grower, but I will say it really doesn’t matter which order you put them you will only reach the level of the most lacking element or limiting factor.

I've been around for 60+ years lol.
I like the individual guanos to build a tea, and add blackstrap, humic, fulvic and kelp meal. Super food!
Super flavorable flowers too.

In many ways Americans have some very nice stuff we can not get in Canada..

Spinosad...bat guano... REGALIA !!!

Maytag Blue Cheese...A proper Chicago Deep Dish and an actual New York Pie.
