I just started to use the entire heavy 16 lineup a month ago. veg a and b, prime had done wonders expressing more phenos of the strains ive been growing for years. two days ago i changed my res in my 60 port aeroflo and used heavy fire and my plants threw out hundreds of hairs (yes hundreds!) in less than 48 hours. yes its expensive but in my honest opinion worth every fn dime! and yes, if u call them with questions they do respond. hell, the owner bryce called a little farmer like me to answer my questions! i feel sorry for those who arent using it. as a matter of fact, after mixing my res i havent had to adjust my ph for almost a week, it runs so stable. ive used advanced nutes, general hydroponics, fox farms, and more and heavy 16 blows them all away by miles and miles. point blank, you want great robust results and you want high times quality buds for all the world to see, switch to heavy 16 complete nutrition. the only other additive i use is hygrozyme for root protection. otherwise i stand behind heavy 16 and will never switch back to what bryce says (the fast food shit quality nutes) because his nutes are hand crafted with us in mind, not our money. its expensive because some of the materials and elements in the mixtures are of exotic and unsurpassed quality compared to the shit quality materials the other nute companies use to save a buck. do yourself a favor, try it. even the bases ( veg a and b and bud a and b) are phenominal by themselves and will produce you great results that will switch you too! im looking forward to my crop being ready in just a few weeks and i can already tell ive surpassed my best crops ive ever done previously without heavy 16. ive produced resins within ten days of initial switching to flowering! go to heavy 16!

I hope I have better results. I switched to H16 bloom after running out of basic GH halfway through flowering and half my plants died. Not 1/2 of all plants but about half of each plant -looked like burning on the tips but a Mg or K deficiency in the leaves. My fan leaves took it hardest. They eventually shriveled up and died, some are still hanging on. Plants went from smelling like they should to virtually no oder at all. I'm sure I goofed something up, just don't know what. Went back to the last of my GH, sterilized the reservoir, replaced all tubing and used mostly distilled water in the res (tap h2o here is over 400ppm) and things started coming back. Out of GH now and going for broke -just cleaned and refilled the reservoir w/filtered water and h16. If things go downhill this time its nice to know i can call em.

Noticed things still seem to be coming back -a few fresh white hairs and mild stank but recoup will be slow without most my fan leaves. Looks like it might have all been triggered from about a day of 3.0ph followed by over compensating the fertilizer. 1 day goof = 4+ weeks of repair.:wall:

I really like the bases from here for my Oceanus ebb and grow, but I feel like prime is making my ph rise. I had root rot issues due to what I think is brown slime considering my res conditions are a perfect 68 degrees always. Gonna see how heisenburgs tea reacts with h16 in the next few days here. I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there who uses prime and roots excel in their Rez in an ebb and gro.

No, but i was a DoD/CS addict way back in the day. always went by creeper. because i was always creepin. :hump:

Noticing that 2/3 plants are regenerating nicely and rebooting the bud process again, especially down low. The third was always the slacker.

I've been usin the whole canna terra line plus bloombastic and been thinkin about going to h16 for awhile now . But my hydrostore guys say canna is better but I've been questioning a lot thigs they've said lately my friend uses it and he sucks,always tons of spider mites and pm but the colas are huge . That's wut got to thinkin bout usin h16 . I found this thread googling h16 to help me decide. So what would u say the big difference in ur results were ? Oh yea seems to b cheaper than canna

Dude soil or hydro h16 is officially the shit. I used it in Promix and had amazing results with the full line. image.jpgimage.jpg This was big bud which isn't supposed to be dank but turned out so fire. I'm using h16 in hydro now and starting to love it although I had problems at first. The mites and pm are totally environmental issues not nutrient issues.

So, I got the full line as a gift and am 48 hours into flower on my first ebb and flow hydro table. I did coco for ever. The plant are glowing and so far I am impressed. I have not experienced Ph fluctuations that are significant, I am just looking for any insight into H16 or ebb an flow or both.

I think you will love it dude, I did some vegging in an ebb and flow table and it worked well. Only one complaint about h16 is that they had their nute calc all fucked up on their website. For prime it would tell me to add like 500 ml for a 55 gallon drum and I did that. I didn't have any good bacteria in their either so it just fed the bad ones and fucked my whole system up. Took out prime and started using tea and the results are great now. They fixed the calc so on for 55 gals its like 125 ml of prime. Thinking of adding it back in now.

I've been using for almost a year now, have had great grow results and resin production. Not a lot of flavor or smell from the OG we just did, think it may be the strain. Trying on a few different strains this run. I use a 600 w hps to flower and two runs at a time so this is from only number 2 pots in soil with about three weeks veg, fast and furious little guys.

$400.00 :owow!!! And I think the $25 I pay for my nutes is pricey lol. Not saying its not worth it but jeezuz lol. I'm looking at the pics and I'm expecting to see buds as big as my arm! Not bragging or trying to show off but this is something I've struggled with since starting hydro. Should I change to one of the premium lines and I say premium due to the price. this is my latest run of White Russian and Critical at 55 days old and 35 in flower View attachment 2888518. All that I have added is A and B grow and flower and a booster that the company also blends. It takes me appr 10 to 12 runs to use up the A+B so around 1.5 years (2 gallons). Are the premium nutes going to improve things that much? FYI the ceiling in the shed is 8' so not much room left lol.

Hey North - so i have also been using heavy 16 for a while now, but i never get the results im expecting. I dont know what im doing wrong, but the plant 1 = never really smells and 2 - the bud is no where near as crystally as yours. I start from clones and veg usually for 3-4 weeks under a 600w light. Once vegged, i move them into the flowing room, where i have 4 x 1000w lights. Im also running co2 . Im using roots, bud-a and b, fire, prime. First i add my adds, like the prime roots and fire, then i add bud a+b. I usually water every 3rd day - feed/feed/water. Im also following the feeding schedule provided by heavy 16. I have 24 plants and use 20gallons of water per watering session. Do you have any idea what im doing wrong? ....any help or advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Ive had 4-5 grows under my belt, but none of them come out looking great!

other info - co2 running at 1200-1500 for first 6 weeks, then slowly lower it down = temp doesnt usually go over 80 - humidity steady around 45/50%. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!

Queen, it's most likely your strain, drying/curing technique, or you have your lights too close to plants and it's evaporating terpenes hard. I run h16 in hydro and get some crazy smells and sometimes get like no smells. H16 really gives you a lot of genetic expression which includes terpene profile. Most likely the strain you are growing isn't very fragrant. One thing you could add in soil that deff adds to the smell is brew a tea with superswell bat Guano and add that into your feed schedule. Feed/tea/water.

If you are buy heavy 16 products east of the Mississisippi, especially through HTG, you may find the product has settled and needs significant re-blending. The kind you get at the paint store with those machines. I suspect HTG buys big lots of the stuff and lets it sit for months. If I can't find a fresher source I'm looking for a new line of nuts.

Oh and one other thing ive been trying to talk to someone at Heavy 16 about the problems but no response after one attempt by phone and two by email. I can't seem to get their attention. Can you spell customer service?

And by the way if you aren't using Finish throughout the growing cycle you'll be sorry. Can you spell nut-lock?

I like Heavy 16 and I don't mind the price as I have economies of scale but they need to have distribution that insures a fresher product. Sorry, but the truth will set you free.
