NUTRIENTS!! best nutrients and properly using them

[watts]

6/9 lazy way? more like genius way.

I think pretty much every type of nutrient out there has been used with coco. Anything will work given proper dosage really. Coco specific nutrients just tend to be higher in magnesium and calcium as coco tends to hold onto them. I'd say if you aren't an experienced grower, to start with coco specific nutrients just so you don't run into too many problems with deficiencies. If you know what you're doing and how to make a nutrient regimen and how to read your plants then really you can use whatever you want. Coco is quite versatile. Organics, synthetic, 1 part, 2 part, 8 million part, whatever...it's all been done in coco.

That's some more bull right thar You don't need any experience to start right off in coco with 6/9 and a pinch. I did and don't think anything is easier. 6/9 and a pinch at 1.2ec and keep your ph in range. If you get a problem it's from a different factor, not the nutes. I have 12 different strains right now all eating the same chow.

Agreed. I've been using maxibloom KISS in coco with zero problem from the beginning. Don't need to spend extra dough on fancy coco nutes. Only reason I could think to use pricey coco nutes would be because of my own insecurity, thinking that I'd mess something up without it. Fact is, it's pretty hard to mess up a coco grow with nutrients unless you are completely new to growing.

You can call bull all you'd like but you wouldn't see threads with problems if that was the case. Head's/rez formula has been around for a long time but that doesn't mean it's fool proof.

curious to know what kind of yields the guys who say they use soil food in coco are getting..

Show me one thread where 6/9 and a pinch was the cause of a problem, it's always something else. What's fool proof got to do with it, nothing on earth is fool proof. Link please

Botanicare kind is killing it for me. I fallow there feeding chart almost to the T only thing I add is liquid karma and my plants haven't been healthier. I use R/O water so I also add cal/mag at 200ppm give or take depending on strain..

I am running with kind as well. I convinced I was gonna change but with their base being only N and Ca it is really easy to adjust the amount of N and suppliment with gen. Organic calmag.(because its N free) if you notice the downward clawing a lot of newer growers have on their flowering plants, its an indicator of too much N. So after convincing myself I was gonna change to coco specific j ended up just staying right where j was. With botanicare kind.gets the job done for me!↓

Heads 6/9 for coco.. I use botanicare pbp @ 5/15 which is the same ratios as 6/9 gh

I started out running H&G and it just didn't jive with me. I had purple stems and slow growing plants. Plus I run a flowering room with plants in all weeks and it sucks mixing 6 different solutions and wait 15min every time. Botanicare kind gives me better quality for sure over H&G and botanicare is way cheaper.

Head 6/9, add Heavy16 Fire 1ml/gallon beginning in flower and titrate up to 3ml/gallon during swell, water twice a day during flower, KISS as fuck, big stinky potent yields off 3 total products..

I swear I am the only person in the universe using them, but the Roots Synthetics lines has been pretty good. That said, probably going to go with some sort of kiss/lucas/etc approach next time. I have had no problems with my nutes and actually think they have a great product line...but meh, i really can't argue against it. I might even have to switch over towards the end of my run this time since I have some sativas that are going to outlast my nute supply and I don't want to buy more of the fancy stuff.

That is NOT a 6/9 and a pinch problem. It's ALWAYS something else. Christ the guy is feeding 7/10 and has yellowing. He either had bad coco to start, bad meters or has a environmental problem. Show me a thread where 6/9 and a pinch is the problem, that ain't it. It's a proven base nute with the right profile. People mess something else up with every proven base nute on here. All it means is there are dozens of factors you need to control along with your proven base nute.

Look what this guy says in his first paragraph

"Strains are White Widow Max and Sour Grape Kush in 6gal coco from the local hydro that wasn't flushed by me but guy at the shop said it was pretty clean stuff that was local."

Start out with crap coco and nothing can save you from having problems. You got a real link where 6/9 and a pinch is the problem

Whatever man, I'm not taking my time out of the day to go searching for threads. Problems exist, nothing is perfect, and there are a million ways to skin a cat. Later.

There are only 2 ways to skin a cat. Case (tube) or Vertical/Horizontal. I'm a Lynx trapper

I'll let my results speak for themselves.

It's been Hesi for me recently. Super easy to use and only two bottles to deal with. TNT for vegging and Bloom for eh, blooming. I did a round or two with just the bloom bottle, 3ml/ltr veg, ang 5ml/ltr for the bloom. Worked just fine. I don't use any supplements either(maybe bit of calmag, but only if needed and by foliar feeding)..
