May be adding more booster ppms? I might just go with bigbud to see how that works. I might even go back to floranova in 1 setup to see how it performs side by side the dm gold. This was my first time using dm gold and Im happy with the results. I have used floranova for a couple years and I have that shit down to a T so I would like to see them next to one another.

Yeah,I ran FNB and loved it I always use big bud its a standard in my garden after doin a small side by side with it I'm sold,have you dipped into botanicare nutes yet? So far my fattest dankest crop was a botanicare nute crop,I might go back due to its ease of use not as easy as the FNB tho I'm sure. Shit any rout you take its gonna be dank as fuck and again I can't wait.

i bet the nova with a booster and some silica would be a good result. it is so simple with 1 part nutes...
nice haul. just under 2 per light, i will call it 2 a light lol
any nug macros? i still need to put mine up
i think a uc is worth the investment if ya can pull 2 per bulb on first try...

Wow those are some happy roots! On a side not my only concern with the flora nova is its thick shit. I don’t think it would be the best choice for this particular system. A simple 2 part like DMG and one booster (big bud) at like 30% strength and you will be straight. If you do go the FN route make sure those two return filters in the last two buckets are cleaned religiously.
What you need to tinker with is a simple foliar program if your humidity permits.

Thanks l-immortal : Ive used the nova in a regular rdwc with good results. It wasnt nearly as stable as the dm gold tho. So what kind of foliars do you suggest? I have some liquid light laying around thinking Im gonna give it a rip this next round.
Im also thinking of trying the add.27 in 1 of the systems.
The shit is endless.
If anybody has a kick ass nute formula Im always open to try new shit.

I have just a simple foliar and I have seen a very nice boost with everything.

I use Algen extract and spray n grow currently. Very simple and works great imo.
I usually spray once per week each, Algen every Monday and spray and grow every Thursday. Start to spray around week 3 of veg thru week 3 of flower. I veg for 6 weeks and only run 70 day ladies to give you an idea. Usually head in with the green led headlamp about an hour before ladies wake. Turn fans of spray, wait 15 minutes then turn fans on so the girls can be nice and dry before the sun comes up. They love me for it.

Also a reputable crustacean formula, sea minerals (check out the one in little yellow bottles) Google search it you will see what im talkin about.

I gotta get one. A uc that is.
Want 24 sites
I hink the current and air will keep the 1 part disolved fine. Onthedot ran fnb in his run with stable results. No changes I think too? not 100% Atm. But he hella innoculated benbacteria used pourous rock n shit kinda bio style eventually wanting to go 100% organic wih it. That good for the benbacteria cause the fnb will kill some. Sorry for lol rant. Hehe blazed.
Any way off I go to catalouge to see what's up

Nova is a mess, csn17 is white and mixes milky clear. Ill never dye my gear again. Even with a power washer and arm and hammer bleach cleaner its still a full days work. "Its calcium is time release, not until mixed or something" (don't quote me). Even these Cali kush's don't need much extra cal/mag but I use sweet which has a ton of mag. Its too easy not to give it a try if your looking at 1 part nutrients give the Botanicare line a look. Karma, One Love
