what are some good organic hydro nutes?

tobynutz · 12-02-07, 22:12

there are many options out there to choose from. i would like the opinions from experienced growers and see what they have to say. i have no hydro stores around here so its a 200 mile trip for anything i need unless i order online. i plan on going thursday to pick up a new line of nutes. right now im using GH flora series and im happy so far, but i want to find preferably a 1 part veg and 1 part bloom organic liquid. so far ive looked into flora nova and Advanced nutrients iguana grow/bloom. i will be supplementing them also with organic add ins such as bloom boosters and all the other cool add ins. any suggestions on what works well?

It all works good if you use it correctly

Are u going with a traditional soil or Coco coir medium..?

i would highly reccomend either GH's floranova and floraliscious lines. Fully organic, and damned near impossible to overdue. I used tablespoons instead of teaspoons while flowering and didnt realize it for 4 weeks. Neither did the plants. BUT when using organic nutrients be careful of 2 things:
1) You will have trouble using anything but a digital PH meter. The organics make the lil drops impossible to read.
2) You may have clogged drip emiters (if you dont drip, dont trip)
3) They SMELL, especially the grow formulas.
I know thats three but whatever. Stay away from advanced nutrients if possible. I used to SWEAR by their products untill i heard a recent scandal they initiated/failed to deal with. several of their products (sensi-zym, the connoisuer line etc) were sent out as poor batches, which lead to some nutrients preciptating and forming 'rocks' (insoluble rocks!) in their nutrients. They KNEW about it, but did not put out a recall and didnt inform my local hydro store untill they phoned them and were like what the fuck? not the kind of company i will spend money on anymore...
