no, veg: mexican guano, bio weed, bio marine, black diamond, and molasses. bloom: earth juice rainbow mix bloom, alaska fish fertilizer, molasses, and i add a lil gravity before i feed. i honestly cant think of anything else i like to add. other than the air system i have to brew the tea i keep things really simple.

No offense, but 8 products is anything but simple.

well techinically its only 7 as molasses is mentioned twice =) i have been using the whole line for GO veganics the bloom base im going thru it faster than id like, but the booster lasts forever im gonna try liquinox, grow and bloom next run and suppliment with some of the "go" boosters, its all organic and very inexpensive, likw 13.00 a gallon
grow is 10-10-5 and bloom is 0-10-10 ..
on another note, my larry og and recon are sticky and stanky already and most of my clones i took last week are taking root already the ones in dirt already have like 20 roots outta the little cocopots , i gotta go buy a carbon filter before my ladys parents come for thanksgiving.. the dog chewed up my camera cord yesterday after i went and took pictures, lmao fuckin murphy!! and his stupid law. i swear sometimes you just gotta say fuckit!!

I just stumbled upon this thread about General Organics and I thought there were useful pointers throughout these posts, thanks everyone.
I do use the General Hydroponics brand of calmag (CaMg+) but from them, that's about it. I prefer the Fox Farm Organic lineup instead, both General Hydroponics and Fox Farm have the same types of nutrients, but I don't think the formulas are exactly the same, e.g. I thought my plants responded better to the Big Bloom from Fox Farm than they did to the BioBud from General Hydroponics. The turnaround effect after feeding was more visible with the Fox Farm, they just perked up faster.

does anyone know where to find the full feeding chart at?
The only products not listed on this one is the bio marine and the diamond black. I have both products but I tried the bio marine once and that was the last, I also have the diamond black but I have another humic product I'm using up first so I dont have to much info about that.
I am running in happy frog/ocean forest soil with added worm castings, lime, and some myco madness at transplant, for nutes I'm using the whole GO line basically with the addition of humbolt honey es @ 5ml per gal or less in veg., hygrozyme @ 7.5ml per. Aside from that I am applying earth worm casting teas once a week. No bio marine though, I went to add the bio marine to my ewc tea that was all nice and alive with foamy shit (literally) and I threw in 5ml per gallon of the bio marine and instantly all the foaming action stopped, after that I figured I may as well stick to the veganic products and the worm teas even though thats literally a bag of shit, everyone says it passes in the veganic grow book. But the plants love it so thats the bottom line I guess. I just want to try some straight up veganic bud to see if its as good as everyone says it is. Gotta be better than chem thats for sure.

anyone have any advice on using the whole GO Box line in a bubbleponics system (dwc with drip irrigation tubes to each grow up filled with hydroton/rockwool, ie: Roseman's style of bubbleponics)? biggest concerns are this 'foaming' i hear of, and whether or not to PH adjust after adding the nutes to the water (since i'm given the impression here that the PH will be fairly low, but is likely to self-adjust somewhat... but none the less, adding water to the rez with a PH in the 4's or low 5's is something i'm less than comfortable with). furthermore, i'm unsure of whether to use R/O water, or city tap water (left out overnight for chlorine to dissipate)? i'm also concerned of the air stones getting slimey/clogged, as well as the sub pump and irrigation manifold.
any tips fellas? i'm a long time reader (years), but only a first time poster (i've always been able to find answers through searching/reading... but not finding very much in regards to using the G.O. line in a hydroponics/dwc-variant systems. thanks again!

You could probably use a wetting agent like drip clean or sm90 but I think you would be doing harm to your microbe colonies negating the use of general organics, in that situation it would probably be better to use a non organic nutrient line. Dutch masters gold line is the beezneez as far as non organic lines go. Organic and hydro arent that great of a combo in systems that require the use of tubing and hoses due to the cruddy concrete like shit that builds up in the lines causing clogs and all that. Theres nothing worse than having to stick your hands in a nasty res for some reason or another. I actually threw a complete res complete with pump and everything in the garbage in order to not have to deal with it, thats how nasty it was. The best way to run organic hydro would be a recirc system with 2"+ pipe size used to plumb it up, a UC system is the perfect example. Or the other thing would be an aquaponic type system where you feed the fish, in order to feed your microbes, so your microbes feed your plants.....But to my knowledge, those are the best 2 ways to run organic hydro, doing so in other systems can be done but it can also be a lot of work on you, especially if you arent running a chiller, forget it.
And just for your info, that nasty res that I threw out was the makings of my attempt at organic hydroponics in a bubbleponics system, seriously.....find another hydro system or do soil less, you'll be much happier unless you are one of those rare hydro guru's who already knows whats what, but if that was the case you wouldnt have asked. Good luck.

So I've been using the go line for a few months now (have not flowered with it) the veg stage went fantastic! And I fed at full strength. How ever I flowered with botanicare organic Nutes and had good results. If u click on my journal. My plan was to run the Lucas formula and then to switch to general organics buttt. I think I may just run the go line if this is gonna work well. Basically ill run tap water but I'll let it sit out for a day that's no problem. Will this work? I think my tap is about 5.5 but I'll double check and post tomorrow for sure! But if so will this be okay after it sits out?

you have a ppm meter? You may end up with too much calmag, if you add it as the go schedule says. you might want to add calmag every other feeding...
Im switching to organic, im gonna run the go see how it goes. Then maybe botanicare or earth juice if Im unhappy with go. So far GO is great
