Nutes on a Budget

So, how do we use organics in an aeroponic system without clogging it all up?

In my opinion there is only one way to go if you are looking for a FULL range of good nutrients for minimal ammount of money.

Technaflora "Recipe for Success" is a GREAT product for around $20- $25.

It takes all the guess work out of it and provides great nutrition for plants during vegetative as well as flowering periods. Will only get you through about 2 full grows but for $25, you can't beat it!

Don't do Hydro, but Jacks makes a hydro nute go to the advanced forum and look for a Jacks thread posted by Rick White

As for the technoflora, never used it can't say anything about it, but can say that my 2 tubs of Jacks ($10) is good for 30 grows and the pic is 3 weeks and 2 days into flower after only one feeding of Jacks Bloom

Every one should read this thread (if you haven't already)

Im just saying when someone asks for a "Cheap" nutrient, then they are usually are looking for a no brainer.

Technaflora gives you a super cheap full range product in the Recipe for Success.

I hear ya, and welcome you to the thread, sounds like to me that your nutes fit into low budget thinking and I'm all for that (reason for the thread)

came you tell us the N-P-K values and how many different things are in the recipe?

Got any pics?

Hi Fellas! The "recipe for success" is just a gimmick to make you buy more pretty bottles. Basic complete nutrition is all you need.



* 'Organic' doesn't mean 'good' or even 'better.' In the case of reliable, repeatable, constant harvest ops, inorganic nutes are superior as you can use H2O2 with them. Can't count the number of new growers who get sucked into organics and then have root rot problems they can't solve with 'organic' enzyme-based pathogen controls. Organic nutrients are composed of complex biomatters (e.g. bat guano, worm castings, etc) which the plants can't assimilate directly. You depend upon organic nutrients to break down into N, P & K in the rootzone (at not always well-known rates) before the plants can eat them. May as well use inorganic nutes which are already in that state and also have a solid idea of nutrient strength and bioavailability, as well as have the ability to use (regularly applied) H2O2, which is a sure-fire, every single time solution to root probs. ---- Al B


Saying that "all organic clubs obviously do better" is total crap. The end product is no different if the grower did his job. Organics itself is just a means to an end. All we are doing is supplying the plant with the base minerals in needs to grow. That's it. Chems are immediate available while organics waits for enzymes and beneficial bacteria to turn poo in a form the plant can use. Either way the plant is taking up the same ions via the roots. Don't go on about any imaginary health benefits or detriments either way without some studies to back u up. Organic food is no more nutritious, just costs more. Same ions. Plant don't care.

I'll bet you a harvest that in a random 5 sample, side by side test with properly cured meds you can't tell the difference in any way.

Bump this thread up.

Well I grew years ago but came back to it after CO approved medical MJ, When I started my research I saw so much had evolved since my last grow so had to go out and find the new answers to my new questions. I have done that and am now sharing it with others, to me seems the lodgical way to help push the prospects of this new medical MJ age so that patients can get the best possible medicine

I appreciate that you can see what I'm doing

With all due respect, Shrubs First, I didn't see any sources cited with the "scientific" claims you made. I therefore agree with you... ANYONE can write anything they want.

Hey Kat and welcome to Jack's Classic, it's wonderful

But I wana tell ya that Shrubs and I have agreed to disagree, and actually we had a better arguement in my NooB Advice thread if ya want a laff check it out, I ended up turning that thread into a class and I now also recommend DynaGro as well as it has all of the 16 essential ingredients which is beneficial to stop deficiencies that may pop up

Shrubs has a degree in horticulture and actually gives very sound advice but he is stuck on organic and that is his right, He just did a harvest and has a very nice grow room, we're both from CO and it's all good, I'm subscribed to his grow and do apprecite his skills

I have always noticed that your advice is always sound as well and thank you for poppin in

While I'm here might as well update Matilda this is Jacks Classic only (ok some molasses) in her 6th week of flower under one cfl, she is 21 inches tall

I wasn't looking to have an argument or start up drama, and apologize if my post came across as such... I put the "winkie" guy in there, though. ITA, it's everyone's right to grow to their preference. I just have a habit of noticing phrases and remarking on them. No harm, no foul?

Absolutely no harm no foul !! I was just sharing the story for readers in the future, I had not thought about it until I saw your post, so if there is a bad it's mine

while I am not using it at the moment I will also endorse jack's. I fed at 1/4 teaspoon bloom & 1/4 teaspoon all-purpose (grow) with every watering for several grows with great results. with a good flush I was also pleased with the taste/smell.

I got a new camera today so it's time for bud porn

this is what Jack's Classic looks like
