Looking to go 40% or more organic?

Hey all! I'm on my 5th overall grow. Just finished what I would call my 3rd successful grow. I've used GH Maxi's grow/bloom and Kool bloom, and a few additives here and there. I have a few ideas on how best to get organics in my grow without sacrificing much if any yield. I would like to hear ideas on how to best work the two together and also what nute schedule would work best with the products I already have on hand.


I will be using Pro-mix HP 7 gal air pots (4" coir as my bottom layer)
400w hps flowering, 250 mh grow
31"x31" grow space scrog
temps 80-86 f


Nutrients I have

Chemical: Maxi Grow/Bloom, Kool Bloom, Silica Blast, Floralicious Plus


Organics: Pure Blend Original Grow/Bloom, Verde Fire Bloom, CalMag+, Flora Blend, Diamond Black, Diamond Nectar, Honey Organic ES, ZHO


I don't really want to have to ph anything ever for the entire grow. I'm not sure if I should combine all organic and chemical nutes with every feeding or do a chemical feeding followed by a only organic feeding. What would give best results considering I don't want to PH ever, and I don't want Ph problems.

Hey all just checking in =)
I'm in the eighth week of my grow, looks like I could be finished by week 9 or 10.
I wanted to let you all know that I've had a great grow with no problems at all. My one complaint would be stems are so thick and huge, seems some of that energy could have gone into budding. lol

I've been watering with the chemicals by themselves and the organics alone also. I've had no PH problems to this point. I've been watering twice with chemicals then once with organics. Basically 2 to 1 chemical to organics. A few times I've watered organics twice in a row. Mostly stuck with the 2 to 1 watering though. I started with the Kool Bloom end of week six. Week seven I stopped with the organics because the brands I have all contain humic/fulvic acids and silica. I don't use humic/fulvics or silica's at end of flowering.

Everything is on time and looking perfect! I've never PH'd once and I'm using both organics and chemicals! I was fearful of ruining my crop so I'd say I got more like 30% organic.

Looks like a good start. I'd go all organic at this point till flush. Next crop, you can kick up the organics, keeping amounts of NPK, etc. in line with the success you're having on this crop. Good luck. -granger

Hey all just finishing up my grow =)
I'm in the eleventh week of my grow, I'm chopping tomorrow.
I wanted to let you all know that I've had a great grow with no problems at all. Using both chemical and organics can be done!

I watered with the chemicals by themselves and the organics alone also. I had no PH problems ever in 11 weeks. I was watering twice with chemicals then once with organics. Basically 2 to 1 chemical to organics. A few times I've watered organics twice in a row. Mostly stuck with the 2 to 1 watering though. I started with the Kool Bloom week seven. Week eight I stopped with the organics and used only the chemical nutes for the rest of the grow.

Everything is on time and perfect! I never PH'd once and I used both organics and chemicals!
