If it doesnt say it on the bottle....Its not the hydro kind.

BUT....Ive used it before with no problem in veg.

I was thinking the same thing. If I closely monitor ppm and ph it should work the same.? I think the main issue may be with PH. Im going to use it.

I think the difference is the hydro kind is made for nutrient uptake within water. Some of the micro nutes may not be as available to your plants using the non-hydro type. But its definitely doable.

I think my hardwater may have helped.

So for the bottle I have (green bottle does not say hydro) which chart should I follow? I hope this works out man its my first grow and its taken 6 weeks to get things flowing good. Iv'e already inadvertantly killed 2 plants with noob bullshit,I just dont want to make another mistake by using the wrong nutes.

When I used it I stayed on the safe side. I started with 1/2tsp/gal. I worked up to 1 1/4tsp by the end of veg.

Thats as much as my plants could stand. Yours may be able to handle more...or maybe less. Start off lightly with it.

Thats a 10-4 Roger. I don't even use a ppm meter, i just monitor the plants and feed them as long as they dont develop symptoms of nute bure. Just start off very low and work my way up as they tolerare. 1/2/tsp/gal is the exact ratio I was thinking of starting with. Ill give it a res change Saturday and hope all goes well. Thanks every one and BSI keep in touch we may have to swap notes soon,.
