Thanx OVO , I do love the canna coco nutes !!!
No i havent . & yeah i'm hearing the same thing about H&G , but ain't no need to fix whats not broken ... know what i mean ?
I shouldn't say that cuz .... i'm thinking about going back to the V&B from hydroponics research . the best my garden ever did is when i was using that , but when i moved here it didn't jive with my water & i went back to canna . but now after getting my water filtration system working like it should .... i ordered another 5 lbs of the V&B to try again . the shit was so simple & produced such great results .... i have to try it againNo i havent . & yeah i'm hearing the same thing about H&G , but ain't no need to fix whats not broken ... know what i mean ?

Retro .... Why you would mix canna or any nutes together without water ??? I use canna & yeah their additives are expensive , but they're about the cleanest nutes i've ever used in my rez's besides GH 3 part .I prefer this to Canna nutes, as they are expensive and require mixing @ each feeding. You cannot mix them together in a jug for feeding later, as they get like taffy if mixed together without water.
just remember to shake the shit out of that bottle before dosing it . its like freakin mud ! & if its not shaken well , you'll get mixed results cuz some micro's settle on the bottom .
& good luck with it papa , i think you'll like it , especially with the FP .
Its floranova BLOOM that is lucas formula in a bottle . you don't even need the grow . lucas formula is 8ml of FNB from start to finish in flowering . they say to use it that strong in veg too , but i had better results at 5ml per gallon in veg .

GH nutes work fine in coco, whether Flora Nova Grow & Bloom, just Bloom, or my favorite, Maxibloom, which can be used throughout entire grow. Cheap, no mixing, and Lucas formula. I always add Florilicious+ to the mix, along with silicone. I prefer this to Canna nutes, as they are expensive and require mixing @ each feeding.

It's called the K.I.S.S. method, and the thread should be required reading for all coco growers, IMO.

By the way OP, there is no reason why you can't change it up now and try different nutes on a couple of plants as a comparison. You are still early on. Can't beat the K.I.S.S. method for simplicity and cost effectiveness. I have had my best coco results with Maxibloom + Florilicious+, + silicon. Of course, Rhizotonic in the beginning for the roots.
Yeah, I'm familiar with the lucas method.
It's never really appealed to me to be honest. I don't think the one size fits all approach is necessary when it's so easy to dial in weed with just a basic one-parter in the first place, know what I mean?
Everything I do is lush on 1.0ec of formulex and nothing else. We get good one part nutes over here, like vitalink etc, but floranova isn't easy to get hold of. If I was your side of the pond that's what I'd use though, I think.
Yeah, like I say, I know about the KISS method etc.
I think there are loads of ways to go about keeping it simple.
If people can force themselves to let go of the idea that you need ten bottles to do the job properly and embrace the good quality 1-part nutrients out there, I think most of them would never go back to another way.
I think people have had their heads slowly gassed over the last 7-10 years. Companies have really homed in on the weakness at the heart of ever grower - the quest for the holy grail. No matter how strong we try and be, there's always some shit to turn our head with some incredible claim.
Truth is: When you're running a good quality base nute at the perfect level for your plants, nothing is going to increase the growth rate by that much, if at all.
ICOVO, hope you don't mind me posting this in here dude.
split and binned all the BS arguing.
DSW, stop posting here! you are just causing problems. slowly but surely i'm getting fed up having to clean up your mess. why you always have to go around attacking or critizing people i do not know.
I am soooo glad to hear you say that !!! lucas works .... but its not a complete balanced nute system for all stages of plant growth .It's never really appealed to me to be honest.
