best results come from combining the grow, catalyst, and bloom. I use the micro blast once every one to two weeks. in flowering introduce the meta-k and decrease the grow and up the bloom. Catalyst can be used in the same amounts continuously and the others can be fiddled with according to the stage of the plant.

Use ph-up or AN BARRICADE to raise you ph

Otherwise you are constantly adding ph up and retesting constantly. Also the nutrients have some time to break down and are much more readily available to your roots. I'll get back to you on how well this turns out. They have worked very well for me so far outside of all of the ph troubles.

Get the barricade by AN brother----put it in your tea after a good 24 brew to bring you ph-up if needed.

wat is this barricade you speak of and its realy not good for a plant to get pH ups and downs all the time you should just wait until the tea is ready with just using air stones

Yeah i make sure to add extra dolomite lime in my soil when i use the EJ. It acts as a buffer and doesn't allow the ph to be anything but 7

hi all, im using Earth Juice nutes also and found a REALLY good resource for using Earth Juice: 3LB Guide to Earth Juice | Cannabis Chronicles

There's about 10 pages of info there on EJ, including how much to use of each type and when

I've been following those guidelines and my plants look very healthy, and the smoke is great, but im struggling with low yields.. im trying to figure out what could be causing the buds to not get that big and if i need to increase any of the nutes

Anyone have healthy plants on organic nutes that just dont grow as big buds as chemical nutes?

Thats an interesting find. I don't, however, agree with their views on the catalyst. It isn't just a wana-be molasses, it helps great with starting seedlings or clones from shock or transplant stress. It is important to use it in all stages. I also use upto 2table spoons a gallon of molasses with it. Also you can use the grow in bloom just make sure to cut it down to a fraction of the normal application. The key is to find the best combination of ALL their products throughout, not just a couple of their products ( with an execption of the foliar spray and wetting agent.... which i refer to as the accessories) like grow and bloom. When everything is put together in the correct ratios compared to the stage of the plant, it makes something beautiful.
