By zero problems I mean, no deficiencies and no ph problems, I used this regime:
DM A.P.S. for soaking rockwool cubes prior to rooting cuttings.
Veg:
DM Silica
DM ONE Grow (4-1-6 base nute)
DM MAX Grow (humic/fulvic plus some mild nutes)
Bloom:
DM Silica
DM Potash+
DM MAX Bloom
DM ONE Bloom
AN Big Bud (powdered version)
MAX Grow/Bloom was what they sold before they introduced the Gold range, very similar to add.27.
ONE Grow/Bloom was their one-part predecessor to the Gold nutes.
I only chose to use the DM range because I went in a hydro store and they had a pallet full of it on sale at 40% of the original price, making it about 4.50 a bottle.
Some pics of my first attempt with the DM stuff, slightly overdid the feeding, hence the slightly burnt tips and lil bit of leaf claw, I was used to using Canna and the DM formulation seemed a wee bit stronger when use at the dilution rate on the bottle, but it did give excellent resin production and smell/taste, the MAX Bloom is by far the best humic/fulvic product I've used, probably because it has added phospholipids so it's not just a humic/fulvic, it's a mild PK booster too and I find it adds a tad of extra resin production.
Nice work funkymonkey i have used DM Gold A&B flower + add.27 in a Hydroton dirp system with very good results
but have now switch to coco i still have two bottle of gold flower a&b but r not too shore if it suited to coco did you find that the potash+ and Silica make a differences. Does silica add weight?
One more thing what is it your are growing? in the pic.
First three pics are an unknown cut, got em mixed up but I think that one was a Trainwreck cross. Last one is Hawaiian Indica x NL.
I've never had to add calmag using the DM in coco, never had any deficiencies which I put down to the effectiveness of the amino chelated micros.
Potash+ is good stuff, very much needed to get the yield, I start adding it around week 4.
The Silicon is not needed but I like to use it as it gives thicker, stronger stems and increases resistance to mould and mildew which can be a big problem where I live.
