Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

Hey HB,
Read all of your posts. Insightful. Thanks for letting me benefit from your experience.
My question at the moment is...
When you do use the florablend or floralicious plus (in conjunction with the dg basics) to add aesthetic value such as aroma, how much do you use and how often and when in the flowering process?
And have you found one to enhance aroma more than the other?

Just to throw another snag in the chelation conversation- I am under the impression that EDTA is a chelator of many metals/minerals and because of this if one component- say "iron etda" is chelated as such, some of the excess etda will run around and scavenge throughout the bottle chelating everything. I am not sure if this is true however- but it sort of makes sense. Also, it's my understanding chelation is great as it helps the minerals remain available to the plant across a much broader ph range than non chelated- but if you keep a tight handle on ph this should not make such a big difference. I would love if anyone knew more or could correct me on either point.

That's about right, that's why certain metals/minerals that aren't available at the 5.8pH in healthy amounts are not showing deficiency. The ones the plant utilizes are chelated. Pretty sure I just reworded what you said for myself haha but somehow this is my way of agreeing.

Homebrew, just caught the last of this one - beautiful experiment, I'll definitely be getting the DG set next time I'm in need of nutes.
As always, A+ work. You're an inspiration to us all. +rep. bongsmilie

I add them in flower, 1ml of floralicious plus per gallon and maybe 3mls of florablend. I don't always remember to use florablend but it can be helpful. If I had to guess, FLP is probably more helpful overall but I happen to like them both.

Sounds good.Anything else for better results?​
Outdoor growing is really a different animal than indoor growing. Just make sure your dirt is of decent quality and just let things grow. Give it a shot of bloom here and there but if you've ever had a garden, you'd notice that the veggies really don't seem to need a lot of plant food to do really well. Just keep that in mind.

Really glad i switched to dyna-gro Grow,Bloom, and Protekt.

Ive seen a BIG difference in just a day. My leaves are looking more alive,standing completely parallel with floor and lights.

Which Dynagro schedule would be best as a basis for a hempy bucket perlite/verm grow?

Depends on your water but like 2.5 mls of bloom and enough protekt to balance your pH per gallon should do you well in flower. Veg, maybe half that but use the grow formula?

With some help from the folks here at rollitup I've been learning how to read my plants. One of the readings I'm on the lookout for is leaf claw. I take this as a sign to back off on the nutes, nitrogen in particular. I was just watching a vid by the urban grower, promoting the conniseur line. Correct me if I'm wrong, but those plants are all nitrated out! http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=R3IYLv7jwYg

Some of the plants look better than others but there is definitely some eagle claw going on. The buds also look pretty leafy on the more sativa dominant plants in the room which is a big thing I noticed with Connoisseur. I just got done harvesting a tray of AK47 grown with DG of course and the trimming was a breeze compared to what AN produced. I can post yield numbers when dry but I didn't take any pics so for all anyone knows, I could be lying.

due after watching that video i am busting out the card and buying $300 worth of AN! i love mixing 20 different things!

to be honest i make all my friends look bad that buy all that crap.. i do it with $10 of Osmocote Plus and just plain water.lol. people can mix all the shit they want all day but if its not complete its not going to compete. its way over priced and nothing special.. to each is their own i rather K.I.S.S. the only thing i dont like about OC+ is you have no control so i am sticking with DG because its complete.

KISS, low feeding levels and a little patience will go a very long way in producing crops vastly superior to our peers. As much as I want to chime in on every thread titled something like; 'Has anyone tried Super XL bud swell?', it's almost easier to let them learn their own way. It's not just here though, comments on youtube echo the same ignorance that seems to plague the entire cannabis growing community. I almost want to quit giving advice publicly as simplicity is quite the valuable secret.

I think your secret is safe. People hear what they want to hear and magic elixirs are always popular no matter the cost. Indeed, the cost is part of the attraction; how can magic elixirs come cheap?

due when i 1st started i bought so much shit and tested so many products ans spent big money, then i started seeing dude just running flora series lucas formula and rocking it out, thats when i learned. i actually learnd about plants and for me the only base nutes i will touch are DG or GH. ive killed it on GH with no additives. if i add additives i add organics like seaweed, EWC, humic acid or guano, cant go wrong with those and what mother nature offers. and their all cheap. base nutes i like chems because of yeild, organics for super quality, mix both and you have some potent stuff just like ur floralicious plus. seaweed is the best thing u an give a plant.. i swaer to anyone you dont need to spend big bucks and fall for that stuff, just get complete micro nutes and spend that money on ur room and setup. your environment is everything!!

look $10 worth of nutes that i mixed into my soil and just gave water to these were grow indoors in 105F the whole life.

hers a comple of branches from that 105F weather. came out leafy because of the heat but who grows like this in 105F temps indorrs for $10 worth of nutes.lol
