FloraNova Grow and bloom rating?

[J.C.grower]

i just purchased floranova grow/bloom i was wondering what you guys think of these nutes? i plan on using them with FFOF or Coco-perlite. I also was wondering what i should PH my water at ??

hey J.C. check out the Hempy bucket thread . Lots of people using the FloraNova nutes including myself. Im in the middle of a grow using only the FloraNova bloom from the start and everything looks good so far.
Im adjusting my PH to 5-8-5.9 before feeding on all the plants, both coco and perlite/vermiculite. Not sure what you should do with the FFOF , though.

that shit ph's itself in my experince. One tsp per gal in canna coco medium and your rocking.

 

[Capt.Ahab]

It doesnt adjust enough using my water here. Lowest I can get is about neutral maybe a tad lower. Im not using full strength though. The plants Im growing now are cal/mag pigs so the addition of a little of that brings it down where I want it.

i use them and i like the results. make sure to but 1 bottle micro and 2 bottles of bloom. that shit goes way faster than the micro at a 2-3:1 ratio.

use it from the beginning of veg (2 weeks from seed) till the end of flower (2-3 weeks before harvest) at a 1:1 ratio in veg and slowly dropping to a 2:1 or greater ratio. maybe even 2:.5 or .33

right now im down to like 4:1 ratio bloom to micro and water+molasses till the end. i use 8ml bloom per gallon and like 1-2 ml micro to keep the nitrogen def under check and micros from running out. this is late flower though. primarily i watch my plants and use a ration of 2+:1 bloom to micro as the situation calls. added to most water in regular doses. it should bring the pH to around 6-6.5. every time.ppms around 400. on my meter.

Sounds like your talking about Flora Series, the 3 bottles.

JC is using the FloraNova series.
Only two bottles.

8ml/gal of FNB is the Lucas equivalent. Just wanted to throw that out there...

 

[Hold Your Fire]

I'm using 5ml per gallon. I also use floralicious plus and powdered Koolbloom.

I'm lovin the FN!!!!

Double Dutch 5-6 weeks 12/12.

lol oops.

 

[Capt.Ahab]

My plants are gobbling up 10-12 ml /gallon plus a couple drops of Floralicious Plus.

 

[J.C.grower]

thanks all for the great inputs and advice! i think i am set, i am gonna try in both ffof and coco and see how it goes! hopefully soon will have some more cash to go and get some floralicious plus and also i was thinking on getting some Pro-Tekt by Dyna-Gro.. anyone have any inputs on this stuff? ive only heard good things about it.
Thanks
Stay fligh

for a few years now i've been running hydro with flora series micro an bloom, lucas ratio, but lowered ammounts an organic additives. a pk booster, florlicious plus, silica blast ,cal mag, ewc an mycorhize tea bags. Fantastic results. BEST PLANTS i've ever grown in my 15 yrs of experience.

Last run i ran an experiment room with running Floranova bloom at 5 mil per gal, an 3 mil pk booster at some points. (12 plants 3 gal hydroton top drip recirc feed 24/7, 2 600 hortis, Co2)

The floranova run has added some additional earthy taste to the final product. i cant say they yielded more, but then again i vegged for to long an things got way over grown.

Floranova definitely has some worthiness.

What i will say j.c , i wouldn't add any nutrients to the soil, like the ffof, it can make things confusing. in the soil an coco runs i did do, or still do, (mostly hydro theses days) i find i create more problems by adding nutrient amendments to the medium.

Perlite mycorhize are fantastic non nutrient additives. add some EWC in there, then use the Floranova, maybe some light calmag if needed, an for non soil mediums i like what silica blast does for internal stem thickness.

Floranova should be a pretty good nutrient most scenarios. I am running it again, i like what it has done for taste.

good luck man a b-safe..

Flora nova is some good shit... high in nitrogen though and you know FFOF has nutes so you dont need to add any flora nova till nutes are ate all up.

 

[PoopyTeaBags]

again sour diesel nl 5 when you dont let coco dry out it even gets bigger lol...

Pre 98

sour diesel.

these are all done with flora nova grow and bloom along with big bud overdrive silca and pure flowers... or yea and some fossil fuels... but you get the idea....

You hit the nail on the head!

I have used just about every medium and nute combo..
The Nova and mentioned additives are the best i have ever seen/used... PERIOD!

Cant beat the prices either

 

[J.C.grower]

great looking ladies you have there poopyteabags! thanks for the advice gmanwho! you guys reccomend using the floranova series then for coco instead of soil.. By the looks of Poopy's ladies , i am gonna go with coco. thanks again for the great help, really appreciate it.
keep it green and stay fligh

high!

i started testing floranova bloom on 12/12 in cocos, and after a week and a half, i like the results... only thing i dislike about it, is the viscosity of the thing... need a min or 2 more for REALLY dissolving in water...

blessss

Thanks!

I use it in coco every watering plus organic teas about once a week. PH's itself in my tap water to about 6.3. Nice and easy. I use my ppm meter most every time with the FNB. I've noticed that the bottles are not very consistent if you just measure out volume. The thickness of the slury varies. General Hydroponics says you can add water to the bottle to get the concentrate consistency that you prefer if it's too thick like mud. Oh and shake the shit out of it every time. Shit settles fast.
