I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this product. I personally wanna go organic, I find the taste and quality of the final product worth it. I've only had experience with soil-based organic(fox farms), but want to give hydro-organic a go.

I'm gonna be doing 6-12 Deep Water Culture Buckets (or maybe a resevoir, I gotta go out and compare costs and shit) with a 600w MH/HPS if it matters.

I have experimented with several types of organic hydro growing.
you cannot compete with the growth of gh 3-part chem nutes in hydro...chem nutes outperform organic hydro nutes 2 to 1 easily.

It is up to you, but after 3 consecutive grows side by side and numerous simple grows...I have stopped using organic hydro nutes for mmj. I still use it for alot of my veggies, but that is more because I have gallons of the stuff.

as far as taste, this is not necessarily true either. If you cut the nitrogen (nitrogen is the element that makes your chit taste like chitman) in mid flower and flush correctly...you get great tasting buddage using 3-part...peace

p.s. After using an extensive variety of nutes and additives, mostly organic, except the 3-part...I am experiencing cleaner grows with much healthier root zones using 3-part, calmag+, and intermittently adding b vitamins. goodluck

Thanks Latewood, I think you're right I've always known that Chemical fertilizers are more powerful but I always thought that they reduced taste/quality. I think I'm gonna try Chemical, seeing as this is my first hydro grow I might as well stick with what's reliable.

Do you use a plant specific type of cal mag+? I've got a good amount of cal mag+ lying around, but I take it as a vitamin supplement.

yes you need plant specific additives....when you run your water through a ro filter you remove all elements good and bad...thus the need for calmg+...It is an additive by botanicare.
Just buy gh 3-part in liters to start with. Get some ph down. some calmag+, unless you are using tap, but distilled or ro is best.

If you use tap, then get gh 3-part for hard water... a small bottle of superthrive, maybe...

you will get a nice healthy grow. just use 5-5-5 for veg and then 5-10-15 for bloom, and that will get you through a grow. you can tweak 3-part so many way, that eventually you understand when to add or dilute strength. goodluck calmag values depend on your water, and you can add a 1/4 tsp per gallon of superthrive in veg also.
