Humboldt is a hack-job of a company. Call their customer service and ask them a specific question about the performance of a product of theirs and its affects on plant functions. If you're a beginner, cut your teeth on the GH three part. Years down the road when you know what you're doing, check out DG.

Newer to hydro? All the more reason to keep it simple. You're adding additives without even knowing the performance characteristics of your base nutes. How will you ever even be able to tell what's making a difference? The more crap you add the more likely you are to overdo it with a particular element or bring something out of balance- now why risk all that when the pics of the cheap easy regimen are definitely worth getting already? I'm sorry man- these companies have us all fooled and thinking we can't possibly grow a decent plant without all this stuff- but just have faith in simplicity and don't fall into their scams. ;)

One of the great pieces of knowledge one can walk away from this thread with is that less can be more- give it a chance before you discount it...

I do not recommend that you use DG. Check out floranova grow/bloom combo and only use those two bottles.

Hey HB, finally picked up some F+, cant wait to use it. gonna start moving a couple girls to flower, but they are in dirt, and im not sure if i should use it with them or not. probly just gonna stick to a Protekt/Grow/Bloom nute program with them. It seems to work beautifully in my mix. Got a DP- Cheese, BCseedking- Purp, and a BCsk-Godbud, the cheese is a new one for me so im kinda excited to see what she brings.

Also I expect to be picking up a new patient real soon, so ill be able to bump it up a notch finally.

Personally I never notcied a difference with FL+ in the dirt. At 1ml/gallon, it's worth trying out on your own.

yeah, i have a few girls that need more vegg time in DWC, when I roll them into flower ill use it on them. Just had a little extra money, paid a tad to much for it locally, but at least the money is kept, well, local....

I don't know if he posted a winner in regards to his youtube comparison but I think it's pretty clear that plant food is all about the elements, not fancy lables and marketing. I guess you could say it looked close but if you factor in price and the effort it took to mix all of the AN shiz together, I know which one I'd rather be using.

Just finished watching the rest of the vids, and the DG plant was at a slight disadvantage at the beginning but finished up superbly. using seed for the test probly wasnt the best, even he mentioned it. At the end, both plants look great. However, as HB said, figure in cost & time, I think I know what i'll be using.

All tho my first run in DWC with DG has been a little rough. I havent really been able to get my PH to stay put. it was rock solid when I used Xnutes samples, then switched to DG. Ill still keep using DG, but i gotta figure out what im doing wrong.

How much protekt are you using?

1.5-2 ml of protekt, 1.5-2 grow/3-4 bloom /per gallon. sometimes a little more or less. but not a lot either way. I have purposefully kept PPM, on the low side.
usually im shooting for 5.8, but ill except 6.2 if i have to. I am really low on PH up/down right now also. So I may add a dash of protekt to raise, or bloom to lower, but only if im looking for a couple tenths.


If the PH is real low when I add water (every 2-3 days) then I will add a higher PH to hopefully offset it, but I have no idea how to figure out how much of a certain ph to add to the low ph to bring it where I want it.

I had a PPM tester but its no longer with me, but the PPM's either stayed the same (roughly) or raise a bit.

I was going to say make sure your using pro-tekt and add it to the water first and I believe you should be at 2.5/gallon in late growth

also the plants came out at 34 grams apeice it was a tie!! and he said the AN buds did taste better but I think you could add something to DG to enhance flavor
