Well if you have a "sludge" an a layer forming your problem might be else where an not the maxi.. Maybe some contaminant that's in the tank? When I say particles I mean I'm only left with like a dime size pile after mixing 700g's in a 5 gal bucket. And I'm sure this stuff have some sorta cheap fillers in it.

Well, I can assure you, there's no contaminants.. The flask was caustic cleaned and acid sanitized as it always is between brewing sessions.. I'll try a couple variations before making a decision.. In the meantime, I'm goin back to the jugs!

mgk :tiphat:

here's a link discussing Jack's Pro, an alternative to the Maxi that is not only less money, it mixes up better. ...results in the end will be similar if not a bit better, they have been for me at least.

if you look around there are several experienced growers using this line and more than a couple threads to research the topic.

actually, it wasn't hot at all. Tepid at best.. I'll give it a try with cold water, but i'm not gonna have all this sludge piling up in my reservoir..
You have approximately 175g of maxibloom in how small of a container of water?

YES, you're going to get sludge.

Just slowly stir your res as you dribble the powder in. Pumps or airstones will clear the rest in an hour or so.

Your brilliant idea... wasn't quite. When reading around the boards, you'll find a lot of examples of what you did. Grin and move on.

No sludge in my res... almost 5 years now using Maxibloom. 'Cept the bottle of Nova I went through. Bleah.

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

probably a good idea to do a couple runs with just the Maxi to get an idea how it performs before you start adding stuff, ...that way you'll KNOW whether or not the stuff you add is actually helping.

Beautiful grow MGK! What do do you have there? Three six hundreds? Like I said before, I just shake mine up in a jar for about a min or so and dump it in the 6 gal rez and the pump and waterfall effect where it drains back in keep it mixed. Obviously you are running a much larger scale than I am but it should work. I also realized half way through I was using soft water and had no side effects I could see. But I'm a noob and might just be lucky.

My bad, I saw 3 cool tubes and was thinking large. Didn't notice the dimensions. Too much blue dream I guess. Still, way nice grow!

One nice thing about 3 X 600 watt lights in a 2.5 ft. X 5 ft. space: Once you turn them all on at full power, stretch immediately stops.

Note to self: "No posting while you're baked." Anyway, KISS worked for this noob. I ended up with 107 grams after a week of drying less a nice bud for sampling. The pic isn't the best since it's my phone but but you can see what I mean. And .71 grams a watt made me REALLY happy:woohoo:

are you sure they are burt? they look like they are turning purple to me? but with maxi bloom make sure to chop the rocks up maybe they are not all disolving properly and giving the plant unbalaned ph?who knows they look like they are turning purple if you ask me from the pic.good luck

You know what man you were exactly right. The sugar leafs started to turn pruple at the end of the life of the plant. AWESOME> this snowcap was great!.


Keep up all the great work in this thread. I just grew some of the best bud ive ever smoked. And it was all thanks to this thread and Hempy Bucket thread. this shit works!

Just wanna revise my kiss method.. Been on maxibloom for a while now, but in coco I was getting lockout.. Ive since moved to H3eds method for coco, and its still kiss as far as I am concerned, with lower P and K, you really need less N, and the cation exchange capacity of coco means you need less p and k per feeding.. Ive got about 10 different strains all looking pretty good in coco with this, just in case any coco growers read this.. With maxibloom, if you have any light feeders that are looking yellow, its N getting locked out by the K in the nutes at regular kiss strength, fine for hydro, but in coco I was having some issues.. Im not the only one apparently..
