Ultimate hydro nutrient setup

Post by seymore_budz »

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.

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.

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?

Yes it`s banned in USA cus some of ingredients are on their dodgy list.

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. :)

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.

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?
