Love Fox Farm Nutes, but ready for a change...

Hi all,

I'm a few grows in using the Fox Farm trio... I'd like to try something new, just to try something different.

I'd like to keep it relatively simple, a nutrient line that doesn't need 18 bottles, maybe 3 or 4 at most...I'd also like a good feed chart. something that isn't exaggerated.... Example, I use Fox Farm at 1/2 strength following the charts. I'm not happy that Fox Farm burns my plants if I follow their feed chart.... (they seem to care more about selling their products than the health of my plants)...

I grow in soil, ---With 200 watts LED.. I grow one or two plants at a time, so spending a little more isn't an issue if the product is good.


Athena?

GeoFlora?

Dynagrow? (now superthrive)

Any others?


Thanks !

I grew with FFOF soil and the FF nute trio for many years, tried a couple different synth nutes with comparable results. Then I tried some Geoflora and really liked it, two bags, dry amendments, really easy, no mixing, no PHing. Still using the FFOF soil.

Good to see others still using their old FFOF. For synthetics coco and GH Flora Trio with some Epsom works well, and is simple.

The FFOF lasts for years if you amend it after the grow and add more perlite for each grow, the FFOF does break down into a finer media, so the perlite helps it keep from compacting and improves drainage.

Ya, I turned mine into no-till soil years ago. It's about time to mix in some more peat and pumice, but I'm lazy so I haven't added anything other than nutrients in probably 4 years. I just chop the stalk and plant a new one. Sometimes I let it sit for a bit but it doesn't need to sit first. Mine is super fine now. Nothing like the original FFOF.
