Lol, homebrewer, I like your style and always have. I'd don't always agree with you but for the most part you do help a lot of folks out there that may be confused, I think the good advice you give off sets all your arguments with some people. Don't get me wrong, I like to read them. Keep up the good work
I agree. That's why I run maxibloom. Just that little bit of extra N, plus the P and N are not trying to duke it out in flower. Thats a lot of p. Npk raw makes a N only nutrient and also ,GH micro carries another 5 of n over.So that's what I use instead of just the NPK Raw N. nice to know about the Dyna though. That was my other possible go to for my grows.
Do you know the science behind that? Why does it need less p
Google Cation, but basically certain medias absorb the P and has a buildup you need to contend with.
In case no one else can help. When I was using Dyna-Gro I think I was at 700-800 ppm for pretty much everything at all stages and it was pretty good. Can’t recall ph but I imagine 6ish.
Whoa dude. Long time no see!
Are you still using Dyna-Gro? Any insight on what is going on with that company and product line and all of the "Super Thrive" merger?
It's interesting you should ask that. About 6 months ago I bought some DG bloom off Amazon. It arrived at my door as SuperThrive Bloom. I called DG and they said something about a merger, or Superthrive now owns the bloom formula? I can't remember. Regardless of that, I tested the Superthrive bloom and it came in kind of watery at 72 ppm/ml/gal (.7 scale). I feel like it was more potent than that in the past? I'm sure I documented the potency of the older bottles somewhere. I even calibrated my TDS pen and got the same reading. Can anyone confirm this? Are the newer SuperThrive Bloom bottles more diluted? At 72 ppm/ml/gal, it's not a good value anymore, IMO.
Thanks! I only use bloom in hydro. That was a promix plant grown with foliage pro. Foliage pro is still legit, IMO.
I'm going to test maxibloom soon as I need a new bloom formula. I like GH stuff too. Have you ever measured its potency? Like, how many ppms are in a gram of that stuff? Does that make sense? I'm really curious about the cost of use.
5g/G Maxibloom in RO water is consistently 1.3 EC, so 1g/G should be around .26 EC.
Nice to see you again. I'm still using Foliage Pro, it's good stuff. I was surprised when the new FP said SuperThrive on it. I'm contemplating finally moving to dry salts from my tried and true GH Flora series runs out.
So I just did some quick math; that 2.2 lb bag of maxibloom would last just a little longer than the new Superthrive bloom and it's 1/3 the cost. I've got to check that stuff out!
