check out Homebrewer's threads, he use to use GH but swithed to Dyna after doing a comparision grow. Then he did a comparision grow with Dyna and Advanced Nurtients.

Dyna-Gro vs General Hydroponics (Dumpster Grow)

Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

He does use Dyna-Gro GROW instead of the Foliage Pro version but the only difference is the NPK ratios both are all in one formulas.

All hydroponic fertilizers are made from the same group of chemicals. There is no difference as far as the plant is concerned. One part formulas work fine, but I prefer the flexibility of three part formulas...at least I did before I started mixing my own fertilizer.

every hardware store in america. that shit will grow some nice ganj. mix the two packs together and feed that the whole way through. unless you have some exotic tropical, that mix will work well until you can learn to better dose nutes.

happy growing!

Dr Schultz is not formulated for hydroponics. It does not contain complete trace elements nor does it have the correct forms of nitrogen and other nutrients for use in hydroponics.

Hydroponics uses nutrients that are completely soluble and already in the form that plants use. Plants can only uptake nitrate forms of nitrogen. Fertilizers like Schultz or Peters use Urea based and ammoniacal based forms of nitrogen, which are changed into nitrate form slowly by bacteria and such. They will not work in a sterile hydroponic environment.

Flexibility is key for an experienced grower so they can tweak their ratios for specific strains or weeks in flower. For a beginner Dyna-Gro provides simplicity, great results, solid PH, high concentration so cost per grow is low. Its a great way for a beginner to get some grows under their belt before getting all mad scientist on their nute formulas if they wish.
