NASTY shit those super high P supplements!

It's made for flowering plants that your MOM would plant......At least it's far better suited for them!

9-50-10 is simply wrong! Your plants will begin to yellow out from the bottom up and with P values that high, you won't be able to slow it down....

Bet you used it by the time you see this.....Well, there is next time...
Should he use Big Mike's big bloom nutes?
Big Mike's growers get 3 lb a light.

i did the jacks before 3 years ago it worked just as good as any other the price was very cheap can get a gallon of this stuff for 100 bucks last you a wile any good landscaping company sells it notice they do not sell nutrients that will last you a wile for the money in the hydro stores or they be out of business instead they sell items that cost 150 bucks and it only treats 150 gallons of water if your lucky lol so people think its the best from the high price .

I use the FF line up bc it's available in my town, it's three hours one way to the hydro store. But since I started building my own soil I only feed maybe two or three times a grow.

There's a lot of good though provoking conversation here. Thanks to the OP and everyone else for contributing.

Normal crop farmers depend on them to survive and since cannabis like all plants have similarity's who are you going to trust, generations of farmers or the hydro store who's staff just sell what the neut lines give with little experience themselves?.

Fyi some decent farming stuff (not found in hydro stores) has low N and low P with higher K and then the use of calN to tailor N and C levels for cannabis phases. The base feed also contain macro MG and sulfur, everything needed in 2 parts. You really will be lucky to find that in the hydro store and if you can it likely won't be as cheap.

Nutes count a lot and are not all the same. Most hydro lines simply won't work unless you have 3+ bottles to fill in the intentional gaps they leave in the base feeds. If you dodn't know about those gaps then def sets in or the yield/potency is bad. If you do know then you have to pay out more money than is needed, a lot more.

Okay guys.. what about this?? I used to exlusively use dyna gro bloom.. started with it because an 8 oz bottle was less than 10 bucks.. hows that for flower?? I like it but i did not like the taste finished buds had. they seemed to get decent frost but no fragrance or taste.

the 2 main things i want outa my smoke are incredible smell and flavor.. like those hardcore og's im sure you all have had.. the kind where fuel smell stinks up a room and the skunky taste is outa this world.

I would take a little lower thc content if i could get amazing taste/smell.

I have some outdoor organic cookies right now from humboldt .. just a G and its good.. but not cookies good. sweet skunky flavor but it could be so much more intense.

I can say this.. this blue mystic i have growing has better smell to it already than anything ive ever grown. its start to color purplish blue as well.

Here is that blue mystic.. it has 4-6 weeks left depending on when she wants to finish.. 3 minimum

I think you are looking at the wrong thing in terms of pk boosters if you want taste. If I recall it is basically mg/carbs/sulfur/uv that you would be looking at to increase taste+potency at a basic level (along with a well rounded setup and neut ratio). You can also have good yields, DR.who gave a suggestion on a softer type of pk booster that can be used to supplement a well balanced base neut that has a low P count as for the most part low P is what they seem to want.

All bottled nutrients are garbage and way over priced , 90% water , so you basically just paying for them to water down your nutrients, save your money and buy dry.

Same here. I've had two grows with Cha Ching and one hermie. I'm on my third grow now with Cha Ching. If this one hermies you might be correct that too much Cha Ching hermies plants.
How do you know when to add it? The chart says to add it at week 5, but is that 5 weeks from flip or from pistils? Also the chart shows 8 weeks of flower and says to use cha ching the last 4 weeks, so what if you have a 12 week strain do you use it for 8 weeks, or is it better to extend the use of other solubles a week or two? Which ones would you use in place of cha ching and how much and what weeks? Do you think maybe it's best used for 8 week strains only? Can that cause your plants to hermie? What's in cha ching that can make your plants hermie the last few weeks of flower, or is it the time of use that causes hermies? I know it's a lot of questions but i figured with your background in science you could explain it to a simpleton like myself, the only thing i know about science comes from watching Mr. Wizard as a kid. Thanks for your help.

If i use to much cha ching at once i get hermires, but when i do it once a week for 3 weeks get no hermies , seems like the hermie out over night when ypu use way to much , i use the little side of the spoon it comes with the scoop it out per 3 gallons with bestie bloomz and tiger bloom and have good results without hermies

Look at the chart I posted. It's a very clear explanation.
