A Tale of The Tape HPA vs 21st Century Flood and Drain

Agreed. Most deficiencies are lockouts in disguise. And we know that plants do not require more than 30 ppms of P in veg max 50 in flower, AND by over ppming the increased P can cause premature sexing, and mos def causes lockout, especially in recycle hydro systems.

Like you, I would rather keep em on the hungry side.

^^I agree with this....and yeah I was banned their too for linking a non sponsor....not even a warning/said I gave out "bad energy"whatever that means...

Ohhhhhhhhh. I thought you were referring to '420Magazine'. That's totally different

Subbed up PF and looking forward to it. I am planing on making the transition to hydro when I finish the Fire OG's I have going right now but I havent decided on what type of hydro yet. I have it "narrowed" down to DWC, RDWC, LP Aero/NFT or Ebb and Flow thought Ebb and Flow is prolly not going to happen. Soil just isnt doing what I want it to and I dont like the feeling of no control over my grow if that makes sence. Figure watching your grow and a few others that I have narrowed down will help me make my final decision. Also I am planing on going Dyna Grow for my nutes, do you have any experance with their line up brother? Sorry if I should have asked here if you prefer to answer in my journal I fully undersand.

Snoochie Boochies!

Here we go offtopic again (sorry pf) but I just wanted to leave my input that Dyna-gro rocks... Check out Homebrewer's journals here on riu- all u need to know...

Thanks TB, Good Nutrient 411. Are you using it for AA/HPA? I just went to their site; Grow is 7-9-5 WTF? Makes no sense for mj unless you are growing AFs, and even then way too much P.


I am looking for a dry mix to replace DM ONE which is ~ $25/5l but due to shipping, it's like >$35/5L.

I have a top quality RO (<10ppm) + I energize my water using a Vortex Water Magnetizer www.QuantumBalancing.com before adding nutes. Shhhh, don't tell anybody
.

I came across this a year or so back, but since they are in EU I didn't pull the trigger. http://www.formulaflora.com/home.php IMHO, on paper, this is a much better option than Dyna-Gro + it's a powder

Since running out of DM Gold ADD.27 about 2 weeks ago, my rezs have never been so clean, plus, my mist heads and filters no longer get clogged, let alone every 5 days when I was using ADD.27. Still using up the rest of my DM Gold A & B with 5L of ONE at the ready, which is easily a year's supply for me

In hydro, dyna is the best in my book... forget worrying about the numbers in the formula, I admit it's not exactly perfect by the texts, but the results will speak for themselves. It is even cleaner than DM gold, and definitely better results as I personally had used both. If you are serious about trying, read Homebrewer's threads for photo inspiration, and tips and feeding levels- he also feeds very low and has amazing results...

I have yet to use it in aero however, because I am trying to eliminate as many variables and the Canna substra has a good track record for aero... I will be trying dyna next in aero/AA...
