Heavy 16 is not complete without full line. Inferior.

information obtained from:

I am honestly annoyed I spent so much money on this nutrient line and wanted to put them on blast. I have 3 years experience growing in coco and have ran 8 different full-lines in those years and Heavy 16 is definitely one of the bottom tier down with General Hydro Lucas basic formula.

you should use H3AD formula with GH, not Lucas in Coco.

I no longer run any GH products anymore, flavor isn't there for me. I like the results I get from AN Coco Connoisseur 2 part base with Alchemist Stout MSA, House & Garden Roots Gold, Carboload, Sensizym and I always add Real Growers Recharge every week or so @ 1 tablespoon per/5 gallons for all plants.

I tried out the Heavy 16 complete lineup and the only thing its lacking is Calcium, Magnesium & Iron and so their "6 bottle" claim is not true. Their bases are lacking greatly. If you use the full line you will get great results with great tasting weed. Their "Prime" smells like mcdonalds bbq.

here are results from my Heavy 16 run I'm doing right now. I'm doing the entire line per their feed chart in coco EXCEPT I do water/feed/water/feed and on water days I add 1 oz/5 gal of CalMag+ by Botanicare and they love it. Any less in the 10 gallon pots and you end up seeing some calmag issues since that large of a container will start slurping up more calmag than you think.

Results From Heavy 16 (3 plants in "SOG" net) ~Not exactly a SCROG. LOL!
Strain: Gorilla Breath
Veg: 45 days
Flower: Day 24 (Pictures below)

Heavy 16 just needs to add calmag to their base and include micronutrients and minerals like Micro by GH or AN bases..

Anyhow, in flower the nutes seem okay but I still think Advanced & Botanicare have treated me the best & most consistent.

I had a friend state the Heavy 16 creates a visually beautiful and big bud although bad tasting end product. We shall see..

I gotta say Heavy 16 is great if you run the entire line, with additives like CalMag+ from whoever really.. The only problem is they tried to use their FOLIAR spray to fix a CalMag deficiency. What about bloom when our plants need Calcium to grow large sturdy stalks & branches? I'll keep my 5 ft stakes on deck and stake clamps for when these flop over..

Just another overpriced nutrient line targeted towards cannabis growers. It is no better than an inexpensive nutrient like Jacks, Masterblend, etc... The cannabis nutrient business is nothing but a big rip off. I'm astonished so many people buy into the nonsense and spend 10 times what they need to just to grow a plant. The fancy labels are just that. Labels. Talk about running the entire line and such is ridiculous. It does not take a dozen bottles to grow weed. The names of some of these products alone should be a red flag. Cannabis specific nutrients are a scam.
