REVIVAL
  • Watch this space for new posts growers, Vapo's Monster Grow Show is coming back to life at last...I will be injecting some sweet green goodness into the Monsters Main Vein followed by a Jolt of Electricity straight from Vapo's personal mainframe.....and we should be back in business soon.........



    .......also, I am gonna try a daily diary on my top + 6 x tie point method, which is a really easy intro into all that Jazzzzzzzzzzzzz.........
     
    Nutrients I have used so far.
  • Terra Aquatica)...my current nutes and I think it's a bit too early to rate them....but no problems so far!

    Ecothrive)....this was a one-part 500ml sample I got from am hydro guy when I first started...it seemed a bit Nitro heavy for the bloom period to me!...but the plants turned out ok...they had very dark green leaves in bloom.

    Remo)..loved these guys stuff and grew some great plants with them, I think I felt let down by the company bcoz one of the bottles was, what seemed to me, not as full as the others and it was one of the more expensive ones to replace as a singular btl.....and it ran out first too!

    Dutch Pro)....my previous set of nutes...I like Dutch Pro...they just became very expensive to replace bottles as I used to order the starter pack bcoz it was cheaper....I think in the end it was just too many bottles to have around with A+B for Veg and Bloom and then the additives as well.

    Megacrop)...I just ordered the free sample with these and was very impressed with the results.
    When I tried MC it was just newly available in the U.K and there weren't many people selling it and it only came in a bigger bag than I wanted.

    Buddha's Tree)...Good Nutes!...again these became a price issue for me.

    Biotabs)...Great nutes and worked well...I think that I felt like I didn't have as much control with these and if I ran into a problem I wouldn't know what to add/stop to fix it.

    Dakine 420)...These are a fully powdered/crystallized Nutes from USA...loved them, grew top plants with them.....just too far away!...I was doing a test for these guys and I ran out of one of the adds and the replacement and post/mail was expensive!

    Mills)...this was a starter pack I won in a insta comp and they worked well for me but I stopped using them after the pack ran out.

    Hesi)...these nutes worked really well, I enjoyed using them loads...I got a starter pack for cheap on eBay so that prolly gold plated them in the back of my mind haha...grew some great ladies with them but I didn't re-order as the price had gone up loads.

    Pukka)...Good Nutes and cheap, I used them for quite a while and I still order their Reggae Roots myco powder....I remember their roots liquid stuff f**kin stinks tho haha. :crying: ....badly!

    Canna)...pretty good stuff and still a leading industry name , I believe!!... I started off with these guys but I didn't have a f**king clue then so I changed quite soon after starting, they still got my first plants to harvest tho!!

    Excess/Deficiency graphic from DDubs, super helpful..
  • Hello AFN..:headbang:..Futher to the answers provided above by friends, I have thought more on the matter and I have decided what I can do, @DDubs dude that graphic picture is brilliant and helped me think thru and @Antonio_DutchPassion what you said i.e

    ...this brought me to the conclusion that it's  both ... hehehe...now some pages back and more than once, I have said that I use my nutes at full whack....this is true....but I fill my water jugs up to the brim when measuring out the water for the feed, which adds roughly 100-120ml  extra to each litre....so 3 litres is really 3.3 litres....which dilutes a tad more and makes them not as harsh.....ok are you still with me?...hehe......anyway, recently I have started to use new nutrients, T.A. dual part Coco nutrients yeah!!!....WHICH REQUIRES NO CALMAG ...so I think I have been feeding a little bit low with the extra water.... d'oh!....so from today I will be carefully measuring out the water @ 1 litre every time....therefore strengthening the feed a bit and counteracting the deficiency..... hopefully haha.....but just in case I will order a small bottle of Calmag ...just feeds for everyone today.....View attachment 1575933View attachment 1575934View attachment 1575935View attachment 1575936View attachment 1575937
    No problem. I found this graphic a while ago and have found it to be super useful. It's a good image and allows you to zoom in to look at the leaves and the symptom descriptions

    IMG_20230727_200851795_HDR.jpg

    Noice.....I guess burying them deeper didn't work after all hahaha....these ladies want to get to it....Noice again AFN...
     
    DP Gluberry start.
  • Hello AFN....here is the "how I do it" thing I mentioned in the above post...I have begun to do this with all my ladies now, while they are still really young....I have dug a channel/moat all around the seedlings and I have been watering into this channel only....my idea is that bcoz I am only watering the outsides of the pot.....the roots will grow outwards to find the water and by doing so, create a large, healthy root base.....and yes, I know hehe :crying: Coco disperses the water really well....but I think it's still worth a try ......
