I knew that would rock your boat LOL. You grow awesome bud, no argument. No way I'd take you up in your house.
I was wondering if you tried Foliage-Pro. It has that nice 3-1-2 ratio weed loves.
I've not used foliage pro and in regards to that, I think the ratios that work best in dirt differ from those that work in hydro. I find myself using more 'grow' in flower than 'bloom' in promix, but that same feeding pattern wouldn't give me my best results in hydro. That being said, I'd really like to try a 3-1-2 in promix whether that comes from DG or someone else. Doesn't CNS17 offer a 3-1-2?
I noticed that dyno grow and bloom lack sufficient Mg and Calcium. Do you use epsons or a sup? GH beats them in cal-mag quantities so what makes Dyno better? The micro-nutes?
I use RO and use magpro in hydro which is basically epsom salt with a bloom-booster-like NPK content. I don't see a need for more cal/mag in promix where I do not use magpro so for me and the different mediums I grow in, a touch of magnesium is probably needed in hydro if one uses RO water.
Why did I see better results from DG than the GH 3-part? I think a big thing is the NPK ratio that DG offers. As I ran GH, I was ending up with something around a 1-2-2 NPK ratio and with DG, I come very close to a 1-3-2 which seems to be enough N to keep the leaves intact but also plenty of P and K for flower production. I think one thing that hurts the 3-part formulas is that one cannot gradually scale back the nitrogen content without cutting back everything that 'micro' is offering. The same holds true for 2-part formulas out there as I'm currently testing H&G's aqua flakes (which is doing
really well) but the plants are much darker green than they need to be here at day 47 of flower.
I'm in a consistent environment and my results are so consistent that I've even been accused of posting the same photos over and over. The things I mentioned above are not necessarily things an inconsistent grower can lean on for greater consistency or better yields, they're just things I've settled into after making small tweaks round-after-round.
The 3-part formulas out there work great. Some 2-parts work great too. I think when one finds consistency, they can then make those tweaks as to find what NPK ratio works best. As much as I harp on some brands for being rip-off artists, their salts will grow herb and finding that combination of
GH micro and Hydroplex or
Aqua Flakes and Magpro is really what it's all about. Put that nutrient puzzle together and base a target on sound horticultural knowledge (ie. 3-1-2 ratio is best for cannabis). So many of these discussions turn to the name-dropping of products instead of why the minerals or ratios in said products will work well with the ones already being offered by the base. A lot of people can't participate in conversations like that which is probably why so many are quick to sling insults.
