I admit I didn't research very heavily. I ended up going with AN Sensi 2 Part. Haven't been doing any additives other than hygrozyme. Don't really have much to compare with because I am constantly doing different strains. But once I decide on the few, I really want to optimize.

How does AN rank as far as "base nutes" go. Any known deficiencies?

call AN and ask them how their basic nute compares to gh3.

you will find they are damn near the same

I am thinking about giving the GH/lucas formula a try in my 3x3 under the 600.... kind of my "experimental table", if you will.
GH costs soooooo much less than canna & H&G & AN.... and its so "chemmy", too....

hehe chemmy shemmy!!!

i guess thas what they make flush for huh?

do you flush kind sir?

yeah i know the flush is supposed to take care of all the built up stuff...
always give my coco a good 4-6 days of plain old h2o (ph'd, of course)

i think the $40 for the 3 x Ls + KB might be a fair amount to spend on a experimental crop...

thats what I am needing to find out... is GH - additives better than can/h&g+ additives?????
cause that could be some savings as long as the quality remianed. QUALITY IS THE MAIN CONCERN I HAVE though extraquantity good be nice if the quality level drop is not too substantial....

take the florashield out of that equation and GH is the least expensive by quite a bit. I love my chemicals. I grow weed not enzymes.

AN 3-part is over-priced. I've heard good things bout the sensi-2 part but it is pricey.

Greyskull. Start with the Lucas/GH formula and go from there. Use the FloraNovaBloom at 8ml/gallon. Thats it. It won't do you wrong. You can add whatever but you do not have to.

calm down buddy

my opinion was asked for so i gave. no need for the 'i grow weed, not enzymes' smart ass comment. that is the second time you've said that and yes i feel that was a cheap shot...as nobody asked/talked about enzymes except for me and GB, not greyskull. with all due respect, growing enzymes????? where they do that at?

i've explained my reasons for using enzymes. i reuse my coco. and enzymes allow me to. do i knock your dirt? i wont go on about negatives about soil/dirt. its all relative bro. calm down...50 million ways to skin the cannabis cat. No need to force one way or the other...nor any need to knock another alternative (ESPECIALLY, if you have not tried it yourself).

i like a good sterile grow.....i know its soooo posh to love organic blablabla......i have shot down everyone that tried to tell me they could tell the difference. some nicely. others, not so much. my widow will hold weight with any sativa dominant strain around. you can hardly beat the resin production and the taste and high is off the charts. all chemical. all except hygrozyme. dammit i like the shit and swear it made a difference in all the areas. so enzymes are ok in my book. but to each his own. i dont care how it gets done. i just want it to be the best it can be.

"chems" don't bother me as much as the concentration of them... I like using canna because the concetrations are damn near organic.
but i figure "what the hell" its only gonna cost me peanuts to finish this run of Grape Romulan (start of week 2) with the GH + KB.
but maybe i'll smoke a bowl before i head to shop in the am and change my mind and decide to keep riding the canna bus...

the only downfall is the huge chiller needed.


i like those guys over at hydro innovations, imma fan of all their neat cool grow gadgets. they come up with some creative shit.

i didnt tell ya im sticking one of these in the SoG cab?

putting a 1k in a 2x4 cab :-x

those things are bad ass. they also double as an a/c unit for cooling your grow area
I guess I missed it...

Now.. they work so good if you have cold ass water...

The site says...

"Water approximately 20 degrees cooler than the room temp will reduce or even eliminate the need for a/c "

If you want to keep the temps in the mid 70s, it means you need mid 50s water.. and that is what the website says... you know.. best scenario type of marketing...

So either you use a chiller of some sorts (which means more power being used... possibly lots more) or you live in a place where the water is super cold...

What's your solution?

if anybody really knows Loudblunts, they will know that im a firm blv'r that true organic hydro is just not possible. you can have 'organic based hydro nutes' but its just not possible.

its also too much of a headache.

but bugs, just like you pointed out without even realizing it. you have found the wonders of enzymes, whether it helps your root system, 'cleans' and/or allows you to reuse your medium....you've found a product that works for you.

im by far in the organic camp by a long shot. so lets make that very clear... im just not down for using nukes (h2o2) all the time when i can use alternatives (enzymes and beneficial bacteria aka hydroguard)
