Iguana Juice

Hey guys, I'm currently using Flora Nova Grow & Bloom (in soil) but I think I might give Iguana Juice a try next time since it's organic. Have any of you tried both of these? How does one compare to the other?
If I do use the Iguana Juice next time, what else should I use with it for best results? Bud candy? I don't know enough about these other bloom boosters to know what to use.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

I use iguana juice and really like the results. I also use mother earth super tea. I run each by themselves and use both IJ andME together and I have no complaints. I also use nirvana and molasses,im new to organics after 10 years of hydro. Using general hydroponic 3 part. So the difference between the flowers now and now is insane. I feel like I never tasted pot before.

First and foremost it's a hydroponic nutrient. It's name is also very misleading. When I think of iguana juice I think of pee and poop, also known as krill. AN Iguana Juice is mostly fish, kelp, and alfalfa meal with a tiny bit of krill meal. Normally great things to use, but because its so refined and concentrated it won't really do much to improve soil.

In a hydro grow it will feed the plants just fine, but then again, hydro is all about feeding the plant directly and thats normally the domain of synthetic nutirents. Organic gardening is about building up the soil and microorganisms. If your asking how this will do in an organic garden, I think it will do very poorly. If you are growing hydroponically and simply want to test a new line up, then AN Iguana Juice will do just fine.

Thanks a lot for the replies, I haven't read up on the super tea but I will right after this. This might be a dumb question, I know it's not labeled organic but is Sunshine mix #4 at all considered organic? It's what I'm using. Other potting soils often contain nutrients already added so that to me isn't organic. But Sunshine mix seems pretty good, at least to me lol. What do you guys use for an organic medium?
Krill are crustaceans in the ocean, I'm not sure what you meant by saying pee and poop haha. Also I thought the Bat guano was quite important in the mix also? I dunno, I don't have enough experience growing organically but I'd like to get into it more. I'm not growing hydroponically to answer your last question, just soil.

I appreciate the info guys, thanks

That's right, it's not krill, I keep thinking that's the proper name of Iguana Poop, but it's not. It's just poop or feces. As for Sunshine Mix #4, we don't really know what they use in their "starter nutrient charge" however if it was organic, I'm sure they would brag about that fact. You wouldn't use it on a Certified Organic farm that's for sure, but for your home garden I'm sure it's fine. Albeit a little expensive for peat moss and perlite.

Do you think using say coco would be a better medium to use with AN iguana juice. Rather than roots organic.
I've had good results with roots.but am I missing out. Just curious to know what your thoughts are on that

Yes, because coconut coir is essentially inert and has a pH around 6.5 to 7.0. Its not going to break down and provide nutrients to the plant, so it won't interfere or confuse you when your being very particular about your feeding methods. Using only coir is a really simple form of hydroponics called Drain to Waste. You could also use perlite or hydrocorn and they would work just as well.

Interesting. Maybe I'll try it sometime. I've just started using super soil, but I like to try different things.

Ive used Iguana w/ MET, Nirvana, Sensizm, Voodoo (I think is organic), Carboload, BananaMana and H2/F1. Awesome results. Yield was actually very much up to par with Sensi. Taste and over all health of plant was great. I don't know what Mr. Ganja is referring to krill as pee and poo? You are correct its a crustacean. Like little shrimp. Iguana is a little expensive and I decided to venture on with hydro so didn't run it again. I would most likely do that same run if I go back to soil. AN says you can run Iguana in Hydro, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea. The only other Organic run I did was General Organics. It did fine, but was no where close to the Iguana Run. --- In all, if you have the cash, do it, you will be happy with your results.

Sunshine 4 is not organic. It is inert and contains no nutrient charge. The Advanced #4 has some nutrients. They also make an Organic mix I believe.

Very good info from all you guys, gives me lots to look into. I'll post back with what I find and what questions I may have after that haha. Thanks again
 
Hi there! I'm new to this forum and this is my first post, Im also new into AN, my plan is to have a 100% organic grow and today I got my AN line up of Voodo juice F1, H2, Iguana Bloom, Nirvana and Mother earth super tea for grow and bloom!

Im running in 11liter pots 75% Soil with Perlite and vermiculite
Im now 2 weeks in growth and I haven't give them anything but just a smal dose of biobizz Fishmix and Biobizz Rootjuice the last watering(2days ago because i didnt have anything else) they liked it and look really great and healthy!

Do i need anything more necessary to my AN lineup I mean like sensizyme? Heard its good for the organic break down? I'm really confused don't know how I should use the lineup I've got from now on? (2weeks in growth)

Should i run the hole line up or remove something? Or just only run iguana blom with the mother earth blom ?

Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

Hello friend, Each bottle will have directions for application. I hear good things about Iguana Juice. I run Sensi, but would like to try it.

Veg stage: Since you are only in week two, run at half strength. Ramp it up each week. The feeding bellow (ml per L) is at full strength.
Iguana Grow (4ml)
MET Grow (2ml)
F1 and H2 (2ml)

Flower:
Iguana Bloom (4ml)
MET Bloom (4ml)
Nirvana (2ml) Week 2 until flush
F1 and H2 (2ml

You should add some carbs. Carboload or Bud Candy or molasses works - Sensizym will help with the breakdown. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information, will really be helpful for me!
There are many who do not use out of the whole line so i wonder how necessary Sensizym is to have in this line?(And Piranha and Tarantula) can my girls accomplished optimal without these products?
I have no iguana for growth eather but only the bloom so is the MEST growth enough?

And the voodo juice should i use it on the second and first week of flower?

If you don't have Iguana Grow, yes but you might need to double strength the MET Grow. If your plants look like they could be greener, bump it up a ml.
Voodoo you run weeks 1-3 veg and bloom. If you havnt run it yet, I would run it on 3. No harm. You should be able to grow just fine without an enzyme, your plants will produce their own, and Voodoo will be all you need for your roots. But, adding zyme will help make nutrients more accessible to the plant and I would add Piranha because its beneficial fungi and mycorrhizae. Any mycorrhizae will work, but you will get some pretty intense root growth with AN. Mycorrhizae greatly increases water and nutrient uptake. They will also keep your root zone healthy. So, you have a good line up right now. If you want to spend some more cash, those products can be worth your $, but if you are new to gardening, don't overwhelm yourself. Carboload is the shit and its not too expensive.
