Ultimate hydro nutrient setup
You've just landed a contract with the government to grow medical cannabis. The only requirement is that you use hydroponics. What nutrients and suppliments would you use?
List them and include a little paragraph (or big if you like) explaining the reasons why you chose each product. Just a bit of fun and to share knowledge about.
I'm in the office atm and on my phone but I will add my submission later this evening.

Re: Ultimate hydro nutrient setup
Canna A&B cus it has everything in your plants needs
Any pk13/14 cus its a well cheap mineral booster that does job
Gro-tec or Potsil (any really) soluble Silicon/silica/Si/whatever, cus ive never really have problems when im using it and it helps with photosynthesis and detyering bugs amongst other things if you read a bit more on it.
Superthrive cus it`s great at stressful times in plants lives, used about 5 times or so throughout your grow. It`s also got nearly all shit in that many different additives have in them but in a concentrated form.
That`s all i need tbh, i have used loadsa different additives down the years but tbh i dont know if they make a difference or not, probably not though but maybe a bit lol. Right enviroment grows your biggest, stickiest buds not additives is my thinking on jobby.

Re: Ultimate hydro nutrient setup
Nice setup! Superthrive has been around for quite some time. My grandad used to swear by it when growing roses and tomatoes in the greenhouse. I read somewhere that it contains 1-naphthaleneacetic acid. I've also read that NAA can make your plants stretch when going into flower. Has anyone used it in the first three weeks of flowering?jimmi2scoops wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 12:19 pmCanna A&B cus it has everything in your plants needs

I use it after topping plants or after any general asbuse i give plants, ill use at flipping time and then again after stretch is over and maybe another once or twice through out my grows, i can never tell if i do or don`t use it when it comes down to telling if thery stretch more or not.
Dad swore by it in his tom greenhouse too. :)

Re: Ultimate hydro nutrient setup
Just a quick google search "is superthrive banned in USA" and theirs a good few links come up about it being banned in several states and countries, but have US gone the whole hog and banned it altogether ? In all honesty im just not sure now.integrajosh wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 3:05 pmIs it really banned?

Re: Ultimate hydro nutrient setup
I think the story is that it was pulled from shelves because the NAA is a PGR and they needed to get some sort of certification or something. It all happened a long time ago. Same thing happened to Clonex. GT had to change the formula to satify regulation requirements and everyone spat their dummy out about it :) NAA is a synthetic IBA (active ingredient in clonex) as far as I'm aware.jimmi2scoops wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 3:31 pmJust a quick google search "is superthrive banned in USA" and theirs a good few links come up about it being banned in several states and countries, but have US gone the whole hog and banned it altogether ?

Re: Ultimate hydro nutrient setup
I am pretty much with jimmi2scoops on the nutrients but I've never used superthrive? Anyone fancy throwing a quick review in a thread of it's own about this product?
