Some of you followed my last grow that with Dyna-Gro nutes, I am using SuperNatural brand nutes at the present time with excellent results. I found an article that interested me so I decided to do a test and document it here.
I was reading the Useless formula with 3 part GH nutes which I happen to have laying around from a contest win and want to see if cheap nutes can produce the results I am used too with the more "expensive" supposedly better nute brands. Many rave about this formula and I thought I have a C-99 and Chemdog clone I can sacrifice for another one of my experiments.
I will use exclusively the GH 3 part formula for these two plants, as I have grown these strains many times and had excellent results with my more pricey nutes. So.. lets see what we can produce with relatively cheap nutes.
I will use Aqua-shield and voodoo in veg because that is my root maintenance at the moment. I drop the voodoo shortly after inducing flower, and keep up the Aqua-shield throughout the entire flower period.
Here is what these clones are at now, about 2 weeks into veg maybe one more week until I flip.
The nute mixture is as follows for current 2 gallon buckets. I will list them in the order I am mixing and testing. Note this is for about 1.75 gallons so its a bit weaker then Useless's formula as normally these are for p/gallon.
Add 0ppm RO water in my bucket, with PH of 7ish I PH down to about 5.5ph (as the nutes will rise slightly over 24 hour period I have found).
Add 5ml of GH FloraMicro. I let it circulate with the airstone for a couple minutes before adding anything else.
Add 3ml of GH FloraBloom. Again letting it circulate a few mins before adding the rest.
Add 10ml of GH FloraGrow.
Add the Aqua-shield at 20ml and 2ml of voodoo juice, with 1ml of sweet/sugar daddy for food.
This should come out to about 600-700ppm and PH should be close but I do not adjust for 24 hours to make sure the nutes do their reaction to the water.
I will take you through my whole routine through the curing process including scrogging, harvesting time etc. I do somethings a bit differently or frowned upon as well, but you will see the end results and then make your decision like I did mine.
Here is pics of the C-99. It does have some 1 blade leaves as its re-vegging, its normal I take clones from flowering plants few weeks in.
Chemdog that is already being trained to scrog and should be put into flower soon. I used to train in flower but I want to see if I can get more out of the scrog training before and into flower. The screen is 20x20 as I have many with this screen in there already for sake of room.
Lets see if this GH formula can produce yields to my standards, if it does then I have some thinking to do. I am impressed with growth in veg from these two as of now, they are growing as fast and healthy or faster then my other two nutes I currently use.
Enjoy the ride.
