How are the GO's going?

I added FloraKleen and Rare Earth to my GO Box line-up, and also use GH Rapid Start for seedlings, guess I'm a GH whore.

The GO's have been really good to my plants. I briefly used the Flora trio, may again, but I like BioWeed and Marine too much (sorry about the squid, not vegan though, just a non-red meat/organic person).

The Weed really keeps the nodes closer together, and helps with heat stress and leaf vibrance - really good stuff.

My first Lowryder 2 had a great taste and potency/yield despite being a 9" plant, so I'm curious what they'll do with my two 3.5 week old ladies, when they're not mistreated/stunted. So far they look great and are already taller than anything I've grown yet.

Also picked-up Earthjuice's Hi-Brix Molasses for plants, curious to see if it improves upon the store-bought Grandma's stuff, although that's always hard to really know.

I was reading about this guys grow on another forum. He uses roots organics or ocean forest as his base soil. He amends it from the get with bio weed, bio root, bio marine, and diamond black. Also after they get to flowering good he cuts out the bio root and ups the feeding to 4x the amount with no problems. If he's feeding like this it makes me think I've been starving my girls. I had some problems early on I thought was a water problem but I think it was a hunger problem. I believe these th!nk d!fferent girls are heavy feeders too. I have been watering with 1/4 rec doses then uping to 1/2 after awhile but I'm going do what the box says like probably from the start. Who should know better than the people making the stuff themselves? If their feed schedule is way off from what I actually need for my plants and is in turn killing them, why trust them and buy their products?! And yeah I understand autos aren't as picky with nutes and less is more sometimes but these autos are getting big as hell nowadays. Big difference between a 12grammer and a 356grammer!

Glad to have found this thread... Just got the GO Box and have started 3 NL x Big Bud autos in Ocean Forest soil. Have been using Earth Juice on all other plants up till now, but eager to see how the GO goes!

I try to be vegan too. It isn't always possible or sometimes I get lazy, but I don't beat myself up over it. It's my body, I make the rules. I'm going to use the Bio Marine. I give my dog a food with duck meat in it too. They have vegan dog food, but I don't feel right about that. Baby steps? I do my part, but I don't want to become a fanatic. :eatmydragon:

got the go box free from our grow shop...so far it seems ok only used it twice (every other day feeding) any who my question is do you use everything in the go box? or add anything else to it? and can u reuse your soil after using it.

Hey muddy! Been awhile I know. Hope all is well w u. I was wondering when u were using the go box did u use it full strength on the autos or half strength? I was using the flora series but could not get them to flush n my weed tasted like shit!i did everything they say to do using3x. The amount of water to flush w but still tasted like perfume!i gave up after ruining 3sets of plants w it.anyway since I have never tried the go notes I am not sure how strong they r. The flora series was way too strong to use full strenghth. Hope all is well w u!

Hey Sparky, good to see you. I seldom get over half strength with any nutrient. I'm still using the GH Flora 3 part and not had a strain that can take more. I think you're confused on the flushing. The 3x routine is to address an issue. To cleanse them at the end it's plain water for the last two weeks. Take a look at this: https://www.autoflower.org/f2/flushing-vs-flushing-12578.html

Don't be such a stranger!

I have been using the Go box nutes for almost a year now and I really like them.I never PH my water and never had any problems at all.I usually go the light feed for first 30 days then switch to full strength. I do add some molasses twice a month and also use silica blast .
