most nutes made for hydro are not 100% organic so you can just use regular organic nutes but get bigger tubing so they dont get clogged (organic nutes have sludge sometimes). advance nutrients 100% organic line have the least amount of excess particals and work well for a couple friends of mine (1 aero the other uses a flood and drain system) i hope that helps:bigjoint:

LMAO, how can you tell somebody what dosage and what mL to use when you dont even know their reservoir size

heaven forbid some noob orders your said nute regime and then add all of those rates to a 1 gallon res ....

Most people growing with hydro already have a grow under their belt. They understand the concept of PPM already.

Just mix up the formula in a gallon jug and add water. Shake well.

Add the mix to your reservoir to bring it up to the correct PPM. I'm running 1700-2000 PPM but it depends on what strain you are running.

I've had strains that can handle over 3000PPM without burning.

PH 5.8
 
hey Stink,

been using the reg botanicare grow and bloom with nothing else and getting great results... did you notice a big diff after using the calmag and karma? tell me about the rinse additive... help a lot?

your right but people dont think about it. they just see whats written and thats it. i knew what you meant though
 
For organics, I think you might want to try drip to waste or drain to waste. I dont think you want to recycle the organic nutes, cause it causes nute lock up due to expansion.
 
agreed.

organic hydro is just not where its at.


and if you do find someone in hydro using 'organic' nutes...its not really organic

True! Most organic nutrients are actually organic based. The reason they are called organic based vs. true organic has to do with the use of rock phosphate.

I'm sure most of you know about the NKP rating of fertilizers. N=Nitrogen, K=Phosphorus and P=Potassium.

The best source of Phosphorus comes right from mother Earth in the form of Rock Phosphate. Although it can not technically be considered organic, I don't care. It's not synthetic in any way. Just crushed rock.

Phosphorus must come from a digested material to be classified as organic. The problem is organic Phosphate does not work as well as good old Rock Phosphate. The same thing people have been using for thousands of years!

Botanicare's line of nutrients are the bomb. If the taste of your herb matters then the choice of your nutes matters.

Of course running synthetic nutes is a lot cheaper. Organic based nutes are spendy as fuck!

Organic based nutrients are where it's at!
