I remember this same issue he had with that member here, who is a part-time grow store employee, over Euro to Usa clearex? Or somethin like it. Was it decimal placement? Can't remember.0.3 - 0.0 - 0.3 for the A stock solution of aqua flakes is very low.
Is 0.3 - 0 - 0.3 the mass percentages after diluting the mix for the reservoir?
That was in regards to drip clean and wasn't just decimal placement. That was weird since even when 'fixing' the decimal it actually resulted in a different ratio. With the drip clean my eu version said "18%P and 6%K" (3x more P than K) while Mick's US bottle said 0.18 and 0.6 (which is 3x more K than P). Based on a simple ppm test both our bottles seemingly did contain the same amount in total. I never got an answer from H&G about that and at the local grow shop I clearly noticed some brains malfunction when I explained.I remember this same issue he had with that member here, who is a part-time grow store employee, over Euro to Usa clearex?

I don't know. I've seen both variation in the ratios as well as the supposed amount for various reasons (w/v vs w/v for example). Also, in the (or some) states the minimum tested value is what has to be on the label.0.3 - 0.0 - 0.3 for the A stock solution of aqua flakes is very low.

My bottle says 4%N, 0%, 2%K. and specifically lists density as 1.14 Kg/Liter. I use a little more than 1 liter A+B in total, so I spent roughly $13 on H&G per run (600watt, 6 plants). I see the prices in US vary a lot, but this one is even cheaper than what I pay:

Actually, this is so cheap (75% discount) I'd may be a scam http://www.lcanon.com/plantfood/aqua-flakes-a-b-set-10-liter-p-12563.html
The P K Mg S Fe Mn Mo Zn booster I use is GHE FloraDuo Bloom, also called "B" in some countries. I basically mix base nutes from two different nutrient brands to give me some ratio-freedom. I buy that one in a 500ml bottle at about $8, of which I use roughly half or less during a run.
Add to that ph down, and 30 ml of drip clean (had same 250ml bottle for nearly 2 years now) and it adds up to about $20 per run.
Yes. And yes it does what it's supposed to do. If I don't use it I get salt build up on my chiller and other connections. Need very little too (10ml per 100l is recommended, a little less does the trick too). Since a $20 250ml bottle last me more than a year (roughly 60 rez changes) I will probably get it again. If I had a large setup I'd probably look for a cheaper alternative or ask @churchhaze how to recreate itHey, are you using that drip clean with aeroflo style tubes?
Recirculation hydro (general), NFT (general), DFT (more specific if the film is not a film but a deeper flow), or Flooded Tubes (grow forum lingo in case the end is dammed, like mine). Or if you wish, an aero-nft hybrid. There's no true aeroponics in an aeroflo though, it aerates the flow and makes it look more fancy. I don't use sprayers anymore.Which btw, what are we supposed to call aeroflo style tubes?
Cool, I think I'll be using drip clean when I fire the tubes back upYes. And yes it does what it's supposed to do. If I don't use it I get salt build up on my chiller and other connections.

I also found H&G to be fairly complete.. Of the "MJ Specific" foods I have tried I like H&G the most. AND, it is more affordable than most.And H&G "A".
It's not. Their base nutes are complete. If memory serves me correctly, of the nutes in H&G hydro and aqua flakes roughly 12% is Ca. It's in the A bottle. If additional Ca and Mg would be needed, they'd be happy to sell you another bottle.
Yeah that and the continuous flow is pretty much all it needs for aeration. SWC to me implies the use of air stones but in a wide shallow container instead of a typical DWC bucket.Some serious aeration going on rite there, as well as waterfall back to reservoir.
Yeah it is unlike some claim not that expensive at all especially if you don't waste money on the overpriced additives.I also found H&G to be fairly complete.. Of the "MJ Specific" foods I have tried I like H&G the most. AND, it is more affordable than most.
Read this:Dyna grow bases are decent but I'm telling you right now the stuff is weak and you will never get the yield or results that canna - H&G - or advanced will get you even I find that botanicare's pure blend pro grow/bloom is a much better all around fertilizer and top quality nutrients... I run botanic are for veg all day before switching to bio canna bloom with phenomenal results
And see this:The reason MOAB has a "weird" NPK ratio is because it wasn't designed by mortals.
Monopotassium phosphate was around before humans showed up.
Anywho....not to put you on the spot church, but just curious what you have to say about something. Running DG foliagepro(or a similar formula from raw salts) all the way through flower:
Would you try/recommend it? I'm on the fence about this. Goes against everything i've heard and done.
My best bud, currently living here, majored in Ag @ UH Hilo(i can't remember what degrees)and I ran that Idea by him. Even he says why would you do that, and that plants nutrient needs change while flowering. I just can't see feeding a formula that high in N, all the way through, but willing to try it i guess

Really. Sounds like a feel-good stop measure to me.Next week the senate here will vote over a new law that will make it illegal to facilitate mj grows, as in jail time-illegal... All grow shops will have to close (well, unless they stop selling cannabis specific nutrients and carbon filters etc). Obviously this won't make it harder for me to get the essential elements but I wonder if it will affect especially the bullshit mj specific nutrient companies and products. No regular garden center is going to run the line of for example "Canna".
