Interesting thread...haven't used H&G in a while, but I've been using Bud Candy, so it's neat to see how that works with other things besides AN.

I would recommend the Coco specific nutes from H&G.. If you go with Aquaflakes, you would probably need to use cal/mag supplement as well. The cool bloom should be ok. I use the entire line of H&G including their 'bloom' supplements.

a large production-line, indoor grow,

So the Coco A and B would be A for veg?And B for bloom or do u use both for both stages of growth????If so thats what I am looking for something easy as its gonna be my 1st time with the coco hempy.....And I would be fine with Aqua flakes if I have to add cal mag it have a whole bottle I only used a few times so why not use the rest of it I would hate for it to go bad or me.But any ways thanx...

Any one else useing the Aqua flakes for coco/hempy??????I want to know witch one I should go with I need to hear it from u guys.

I just picked up some H & G cocos. Planning on going back to get drip clean and roots accelerator, I am also going to be using bud blood, big bud, and overdrive with this upcoming grow of KK Strawberry Cough, great producer, great smoke, gets crystally as hell in about 56 days and Sour Grapefruit just wrapped up a grow with this strain and can't wait to grow her again. I let her go 60 plus days this time and even with night temps in the 70's she started throwin some mad purple hues at the end.

I'd like to ask anyone that has used this, when using the a and b, the feed chart calls for equal amounts of each throughout veg/flowering. Do you lag off of one or the other towards the end of flowering to get rid of excess nitrogen?

I recommend just going to their website and following the feeding schedules. This is the url to their feeding tables.. you can pick and choose your res size, nutrient choice, veg time, flower time etc etc. http://www.house-garden.us/PrinterFriendly/index.html

Good luck,

Anyone have any advice on running the Coco line on drippers? I use Blumats and GH 6/9 formula right now, but have the whole Coco line to try out on my next set of clones. I use pure Canna Coco and Smart Pots, so any advice is much appreciated. I have some Shooting Powder, but I see some debate on how good it is. Should I use my Kool Bloom instead, if so...how much? Thanks!!

I was told that the shooting powder is real hot, and to stay away from it. I think Krunch did a vert grow where he used drippers, check out his sig, I believe there is a link to it. Peace

Im using the whole line apart from the shooting powder with some coco in a dripper system, seems to works well although i think the charts recommendations (the one i'm using..) are a little hot for the plants in growing (chemdog x sour d).

Overall so far it seems very good but expensive. Next run i'm going to go lighter on the nutes and see if theirs much difference.

why is it every time I see a H&G feed chart it's different from the last one?

Compare these 3. confused :thinking:

I used the shooting powder on a couple plants when I first started running H&G nutes. The stuff really boosts your ppm level. I did not notice any real plus or minus regarding it, but I think you'd have to do a controlled experiment to really determine anything. I'm getting ready to do that actually, I'm going to do a selection of 4 clones of the same strain. I plan on using the shooting powder in 2 and not in the others. I've since been using only the BudXL and the Top Booster for bloom enhancers. My results from this nute line is quite good. It's a little fiddley, but that's ok. It will be interesting to see your results with the Kool Bloom. I'd just go with their recommended dosage.
