Nutrients and Additives (UK)

sianhan, thanks for the advice - kinda makes sense to dilute it before chucking.

Think I might try Tempa's weed killer idea though... recycling...organic...

Vitalink has now changed names to vitalink max finding it better than the old stuff. The old Vitalink had a tendency to burn the plants if you used it as stated on the bottle. No such issues with the new one, plants havn't looked as happy in a long time.

I've used vita link Max from Near the start Pip,wasn't really aware there was Other Stuff

Wow that moonshine sounds wicked. Will have to source some round my way. Cheers mate

 

[guy fawkes]

i got some moonshine given by a guy in local hydro shop a while back, wasnt the owner it was a guy who was a rep for company who made it who happend to be in at the time.
, i dont think it did anything tbh, didnt harm them but was a bit let down by the hype i was told about it.

though this was was using my mineral/chem feeds and booster so suppose it may work better in organic set up. been slowly phasing over to organic .
im having some good results with pure blend pro atm mate, buds are much denser and taste is so smooth. my star dawg didnt smell as acrid and offensive as it did the mineral feeds but there was much more going in that taste of the smoke , really brought out the pineyness

I was just down my local grow shop and having a chat about what's new as I've been out the loop for a bit.

Kept banging on about a product called Terpinator or something... Supposed to really enhance the terps. To the degree he said, do not use with cheese. It makes it too strong. As soon I heard that I thought the product is gonna be shit as that sounds like hype bs.

Anyone tried the stuff?

Bullshit hype imo. It's all marketing and sales

The best thing i've done is get an RO filter. NO deficiencies and stable PH with GHE 3 Part. I'm looking forward to trying the end product

Yeah that was my thoughts. It's amazing what crap people will buy.

And I had RO for one run. Was good. Couldn't really say it was any better than my normal product and of course 3 months after my installation of the RO machine, I was put on water meter which makes RO unbelievably expensive. So it's normal tap water for me when I do eventually get back to growing.

Makes it too strong. Lol. I found a lot of the additives don't really do much. Unless the companies base feed is missing something. Shooting powder does what it says on packet though.

 

[pipp]

Birdman Vitalink was just called Vitalink now theyve put max on it. Find with the Vitalink earth and light mix soil you never have to adjust ph always spot on.

 

[pipp]

Also use the Vitalink Buddy as its cheap but never done a comparison to see if it actually does anything. Used to use Topmax but after stopping using it never found any difference.

Yes, shooting powder is the nuts. And something I've used my whole growing career. Well top shooter gel before the powder came out.

Now H&G don't sell in thUK, but plant magic have ripped off top shooter powder and i was looking at it yesterday at my local store and it's does indeed look identical.

But then got told plant magic are having problems and may go under. But who knows. The shit hydro store people come up with always amazes me. When I used to work in one I would only recommend what I had used and what worked. Hell we only ever stocked a small array of nutrients. H&G, canna and biobizz for the organic lot.

Oh and Canadian xpress additives. Which are pretty good.

YEA i recall similar when i bought some Co2 from Holland Hydro' some time ago.(manchester)

Holland are slowly marching nutrient companies that speciailse in canna food out of their country. Hence why H&G have gone. But they are back in France and should be here again soon.

Of course they moved main production to the states. The market there is so so much bigger. One could say it's flourishing. Haha
