    What are the best brands of Hydro nutrients?

    VitaGrow is as good as any. Inexpensive and doesn't have any crud to gum things up. Stays a nice clear golden color and leaves no sludge. After dealing with GH"s PH issues, Botanicare's expensive sludge, and a few other overpriced products I tried Vitagrow. It's available in liquid or...

    Maybe you should ask your wonderful group of friends what's wrong with your crappy plant next time. You should probably stay on Facebook with your like minded people.

    Those plants are already pollinated and making seeds. You can see bananas. Finish them out.

    Mono potassium phosphate?

    You can get a 1 pound box of VitaGrow Part C Bloom which is just monopotassium phosphate from American Agriculture online for $9.95 with free ground shipping. You can also get a pound of all three parts for under $25. It's just calcium nitrate, a micronutrient, and monopotassium phosphate...

    http://www.vitagrow.com/ http://www.vitagrow.com/downloads/vitagrowgrowchart2012.pdf You don't need the water conditioner of ThunderBloom. Just the grow, micro, and bloom. The grow is just calcium nitrate, the micro is the micronutrients, and the bloom is just monopotassium phosphate...

    Im really liking the Heavy 16 nutrient line..

    I see some nice plants but I don't see anything that would make Heavy 16 anything special. I know I am probably going to catch some flack but I have seen better yields with a simple grow using Miracle Grow. My intention is not to diminish your grow but I don't think your success is due to the...

    Miracle Gro nutrients?

    Use Miracle grow half strength and you'll be fine. You don't need any fancy Advanced Nutrient line and a plethora of supplements that will keep you mixing thirteen different products at different amounts each week. If you look at the feeding charts for some of these nutrient lines you just...

    peroxide treatment

    You can use SM90 for gnats in your soil. Mix it in everytime you water. You can also use it as a foliar spray to kill mites.

    Humboldt Nutrients

    Why use either one? I looked at Humbolts feeding chart. Their Premium Two part program has you using fifteen different products. What a joke. I can't beleive the amount of nute companies out there selling incomplete nutrients and then charging people more for overpriced watered down bottles...

    diagnosis please

    Why do you think it's a magnesium deficiency? You're adding calmag. I think you are adding too much stuff. They look pretty green and the leaves are clawing. I would flush and water with just your base nutes at half strength.

    So you noobs are hooked on cannabis specific Bloom foods (aka snakeoil)..... eh?

    It's not just bloom foods it's also many of the overpriced base nutrient out there. Sure people get good results using Advanced, Botanicare, etc... But but you can get the same or better results with much less expensive alternatives. I tried the name brand lines briefly until I realized I was...

    Undernuted plants 5th week of bloom

    You didn't say if the plants were all the same strain. That can make a difference. Also you said your run off ph was 5-6 but your tap water is 7.5 and after adding your nute mix it's somewhere around 8. Most say 6.5 ph is good for soil. At 6 you would be locking out calcium and magnesium and at...

    So you noobs are hooked on cannabis specific Bloom foods (aka snakeoil)..... eh?

    So many people get seduced fancy labels and marketing. Nutrient companies have created mini cults where their fancy labels substitute for idols and the slick marketing slogans are the gospel. It's similar to the cult like following that people like Michelle Bauchman and Sarah Palin have. It...

    Undernuted plants 5th week of bloom

    There's not much you can do now at 5 weeks into flower. You said that you were using an organic and a chemical fertilizer. Have you been adjusting the PH when adding nutrients? Nutrients lower the PH significantly. At even half strength some nutrients will lower the PH to close to 4.0. If you...

    big bud and overdrive or bud candy advice???

    Save your money and get a pound of monopotassium phosphate for $10 and a box of epsom salts "magnesium sulphate" at Walgreens for $1.99. Those bloom enhancers are basicaly just phosphorus, potassium, sulfer, and magnesium in slightly different formulations. And they're running over $20 for a...
