What do you think about adding an occasional compost tea along with running chemical ferts? I have seen a simple tea that consists of EWC, fish, kelp and molasses brewed for 12 to 24 hours depending on temperature and then added to plants every 10 days or so. Would that be of no added benefit?

That's something to definitely consider. I had no idea this was the case. I wonder how willing these doctors are to actually go to court for anyone.

Are you now using a small amount of pH up to get you where you would normally be when you were adding the higher dosage of Protekt?

I've been a coco grower but decided to switch over to Promix HP after following just about everything I could find from the member named Homebrewer on this site. I added between 25 - 30% vermiculite and a tad more perlite to what comes out of the bag and it is what seems to be for me, an...

I couldn't agree more. After asking what your thoughts were on coco, I decided to switch over to Promix HP (plus the addition of vermiculite per your lead) and I absolutely love it. It is so light and airy and I am now no longer having to water daily as I was with coco but rather every 3 to 4...

I agree. But currently I am running Platinum OG's under 1000 watt lights with Foliage Pro and Protekt and find that I have to hit at least 1.2 EC to keep them green. This doesn't seem to be the case under my 600's though.

Are you guys (Stoned Drifter and Homebrewer) running 600 watt lights? I am under 1,000 watt lights and it seems that I have to use quite a bit more food than what has generally been suggested. I make every effort to read the plant as opposed to following a recipe per se. Anyway, just curious.

Are you still using ProTekt with the Foliage Pro? Or any other additives along the way? I am in coco as well...

Dyna Gro is all you need from start to finish. Foliage Pro and Protekt is what I use in coco. If hydro, you'll want to do a mixture of Grow and Bloom. MagPro for RO and for use as a Bloom Booster. Check out Homebrewer's journals on here.

Guess I need to just K.I.S.S. and not look for 'enhancers' to spend my money on. Especially since I don't have much of it to spend at the moment, lol... Guess my only other decision should be whether to stay in coco but switch from my current recirculating situation over to DTW or use what I...

Are the end results somewhat the same from Hydro and container grows? Is it worth leaving a coco or Promix grow and learning to grow in flood tables? With Hydro, it seems that you'll invest in more additives to be used in conjunction with Dyna Gro. Is it worth it? Or just stay in containers...

N No, I can't say that they have grown these cuts so I am sure you're right about that. I seem to recall you saying somewhere that the ingredient that people are looking for in a product like Sweet from Botanicare is actually the sulfur which is found in MagPro. I was under the impression the...

Have you ever given any thought to doing a side by side comparison against CYCO? I hear a lot of good things about that line up as well.

Thanks a bunch. I feel my stress levels slowly decreasing with your advice, lol... Seriously.

No pictures supporting their 'findings' were offered. My last run in coco with Grow and Protekt came out looking nice. I didn't flush. I also didn't use anything else other than those two products. I was complimented on the looks. The 'tester' said it was smooth. But the one thing he did say was...

I am personally in trays doing a recirculating system, top feeding in to coco. Not sure if this is flushing the salts back in to the rez or not. My rez gets low after only a week so I just refill it again. I was thinking about trying a flood and drain system instead of the drip. Not sure if that...

I ran across a post that seems to have been copied and pasted at many different forums called Finding My Nutrient Program where a test run was done using 8 different nutrient lines. Have you seen it by chance, homebrewer? Dyna Gro was Test #6. I was a little discouraged by some of what the...

Would you say that it's the same in coco? I hear so much about how you need to use CalMag with Coco when using RO to put back what you take out. I am not sure whether coco is considered hydro or soil(less). I have heard it said that if you treat coco like soil you will get soil like results and...

Sorry I am late for the show. Things are looking great! Couple of questions for you if I can. You mentioned that you add a quarter tsp per gal of Cal Mag and the same of Foliage Pro from start to finish, starting with 100ppm water. I assume that is what's coming from your tap, right? What do...

Definitely contacting them for some samples. Thanks for posting this!
