It is something with Canada, they prob banned something in it, i see all kinds of excuses and inflated prices the more I search.
From what I've been told...the packaging for Canada didn't meet the requirements for some agency/dept and they 'banned' it until its fixed.
I've seen a few post on the formula seems to have changed too...not sure, but read.
I myself wanted to do this same feeding program, but ran into no product available unless you pay a small fortune...lol

That makes sense, saw that one guy on reddit contacted GH and they said they were updating the packaging and it will be on shelves again soon... back in January.

I like jacks with liquid seaweed for the aminos and all that. Floralicious plus is good too but more n than I like.
Thank for the tip gemtree, I was looking at humic acid too, I will take a look at those as well.

yeah, well that’s shitty anyways, maybe after this next run I will revisit it. I should of grabbed some a few months ago when I was going to switch from micro bloom, but didn’t.

Floralicious has humic and pretty much everything even beneficial bacteria. Just watch the n in flower I've used it a lot and my coco buds always taste great

Oh nice, this past run I either ran nothing or a little UC roots, maybe 200ml in 4 months so.. nothing really. I keep the system at 65 steady and didn’t really see any problems. I should either run bennies or sterile this time and stick with it.

Did you use nova with RO or need to use Epsom or ca nit or just a calmag at all? You mentioned you were going to give the jacks hardwater a run. What’s the reasoning behind it if both water sources are available.
nova was stand-alone, no additives needed. (using LED now so maybe Mg)

jacks tap is just to try a different NPK ratio and see how it works. my system is not changing, only my nutes lately.

I've used it several grows. It is very thick and sometimes crystalizes so you have to really work it to dissolve. I've used with both tap and RO. Less issues overall with RO.
if you had to rate all 4 of the GH nute lines , how'd you do it? (just on performance, not based on price) and assume you've used them all

Is the correct nova bloom mix on Lucas 8ml a gallon? Just checking price, looks about 1-120 cad shipped a gallon. Be about 600ml a res change, add back not bad.

Oh man, no I don’t haha, it takes a lot of add back right now for me to do much with ph, seems to like 5.8, I brought it up to 6.1 at the most and it would take 10 days to drop again.

Any issues with the running organic in RDWC? Did you try pairing it with bio ag or any other type of bennies? I’m assuming I can’t run pool shock with that. I’m not sure I need anything with a chiller, I’m thinking with whatever I use, I’m going to do more frequent res changes. Just checking all angles.
