You just want to make sure it is diluted with water before you start mixing chemicals. Some chemicals if mixed will create fumes that can kill you. This applies to kitchen cleaning supplies as well. You just don't want to be mixing random chemicals.
The grow and bloom formula are the same other than the NPK values so it's ok to mix those in their concentrated form. That's what I do for my dirt plants. In regards to grow and bloom in flower for hydro, I usually add what I need to my measuring glass and dump them in at the same time. Protekt first, base nutes, then magpro, mixing in between each.
What I was hoping would happen in this test is that the results would reflect what the labels indicate as far as NPK ratios are concerned. You should be able to look at a label and know whether it will work well or not and in Connoisseur's case, a 1-1-2 ratio told me that it couldn't compete with a 1-3-2 ratio (..again, still waiting on my smoke reports in order to post the final results). My point is; one doesn't need to test every brand of fertilizer out there in order to determine it's worth. H&G also offers (in my opinion) a poor ratio for flower just like Connoisseur and aside from all the other categories that make a great fertilizer, my guess is H&G would produce smaller, leafier yields compared to DynaGro.
Agreed! Lots of great info comes out of every one of of your Journals Homebrewer.I am just curious what your next test will be, don't care if it is nute vs nute or maximizing another strain, or hell stuffing 10 plants into your F&D and seeing what happens... I just enjoy the information you make available via your tests
Again I look forward to seeing the next!
It's not posted yet as I still don't have the smoke reports.
I think I commented on the chronic a few pages back. I also have a breeding project going on so maybe in a few months or so, I'll post something about that.
The parent plants are fantastic and both exhibit traits that I'd like to showcase in a final mother. I have a handful of plants (...along with a bunch of ungerminated beans) right now that are starting to show sex so once they're all cloned , I'll flower and see what I'm working with. A possible back cross to one of the parents could be in the future if I don't quite accomplish what I'm looking for. Or, I'll germ more beans.
The most respectible and best thing you could have done is read the whole thread. I am sure it has answered most of your questions as it did mine. It's such a good read anyway the way HB does his comparisons and standardizations alot more professional than most. Good Luck NurseJason...
My first post ever on this forum was this thread and initially I probably read at least 50% but when it got somewhat technical with the hydro I bypassed some, not the last time I read everything and found it to be very helpful. I am just glad there are people out there like HB willing to impart their knowledge and experience, after all I believe if you want quality you have to devote time and research, and love to the ladies, just like in life you usually get what you give. Thanks again for a wonderful thread/post, checking back for final report but being patient. I am not even clear how to sub to this, all good.
