Best Hydroponic Nutrients???

I use General Hydroponics 3 - Part flora series. For my mother plants I use a mild 1:1:1 G:M:B ratio depending on their size, they grow quickly and always look nice.

For flowering I use the Lucas Formula, which is about a 1:2 ratio of Micro to Bloom, starting with 8ml per gallon. I get sticky colas.

I was just going to ask if anyone had used the Lucas formula. What kind of system do you have set up?

I use an assload of stuff hollands secret 3 part, sm90, super b+, m.o.a.b, cal mag, and some mollasses carb stuff the hydro store guy makes, he gave me this chart to follow and everything I was blown away by the results no burning or anything oh yeah also used snowstorm as well just bought this stuff called bloombastic anyone had any uccess with it?

I've been running botanicare for a couple years now (pro veg, pro bloom, sweet citrus, cal mag, and liquid karma) with very good results. If you want to push your bud that extra mile you can pay almost twice as much for a ton of AN products but the difference may or may not be worth it to you. Grade A bud or Grade A+ bud it still will be the chron.

Good read fatman7574, thats gonna keep me using GH(Lucas Formula). wanted to try sumthin new next run, but all the products out there can make it a little much...Its makes it hard for some one startin out to get good info with no fillers,and a keepin it simple, with good results is the way to go. think i will stay with GH but try the Flora series.

for whatever its worth. I'm a big fan of botanicare without allot of the other additives like "bud blast off super explosion blood money booster" (oh, you mean enzymes and phosphorous? ok). Quality products, decent prices, good results.

my formula..
Veg..
BC grow
Cal Mag
Dash of superthrive.
Myco inoculate drench of table

Flower...
BC bloom
Cal Mag
Liquid Karma
SensiZymme
Liquid light foliar feed for carbos...

Gimicks... Gimicks! Its all fucking gimicks! Fuck em all... Some Dueshbags get paid alot of money to sell you their shit! Let my experience (mistakes) save you from the first pitfall of growing... MARKETING!!! Dont buy in!!!


I think Bill Hicks had a piece on marketing...

every side by side test ive seen say Advanced Nutrients are not only the best, but they are better by a mile by just about every other product. Ive heard Canna and Botanicare is awesome, but I bet if you tested them, AN would come out on top (pretty sure AN already beat Canna).

Nice Pic...

Good to know I just started a new medical operation and this time im using advanced nutrients. So far I'm amazed how fast the Caylx have appeared on the flowering girls and the veg flood table does well aswell. Recently I tried using Juicy roots and b-52 to clone and wow it works great. I cannot wait to see how things go. GH Flora series is not chelated last i checked which makes it harder for plants to absorb in hydroponic systems but someone please correct me if im wrong. I chose advanced because they tested there nutes on MARIJUANA not tomatoes, carrots and other stuff that I do not use advanced nutrients for. Advanced Nutrients is very pricey but cut back on plant count and increase yield per plant so much that is does not matter in the end.

Huh, that a very interesting product line I'll have to try that one.

Seems no one really uses Canna then?

I have seen it mentioned but no one says they use it as yet.... I have just started my first ever grow and have gone with Canna Aqua 2 part, I cannot compair it with others but from what I have so far I'm very happy with the proformance (Veg anyway only just flicked to 12/12). I will take some pics tonight and post them up so you can see.

Sweet I've been wanting to check out canna more and can't wait for those pics. what strains?

Im using Fox Farm and Advanced Nutrients side by side (spent a lot on nutes i know) in dwc same lighting and everything and guess who's winning?

Who's that?

Had very good results With the full botanicare line. Havent seen anyone mention their Hydroplex. That stuff did some good work on my ladies.
I've seen Canna get used but really cant tell a whole lot of diference and for the $$$ it seems only their Rhizo is worth it.

I am using Ionic and must admit, like what was mentioned earlier in this thread, I am getting the salty deposits everywhere. There was me thinking it was the water itself..... When growing in hydro, should you still flush out and just use 6.0ph water and leave out the nutes in the lat two week before harvest???

Currently using Canna Aqua Vega in my hydro grow and love it.

Also I got seeds from Goldenseed

I am using technaflora BC Boost, Bloom, and Grow. Good results, small perpetual grow.

Humbolt Nutrients

And there's a difference between Humbolt Nutrients and Humbolt Countys Own

i would try usings aqua vega ,then for budding use aqua flores big bud ,overdrive then final phase
