Some fert/nute/supplement compatibility questions

[cwesto]

1. I have FoxFarm 3-part liquid nutes (growbig, tigerbloom, bigbloom), and FoxFarm tri-pack granuals. I know that the granuals have alot of micro nutes in the as well as high amounts of P for flowering. Will these provide enough micro nutrients to sustain healthy plants?? Since the granuals are flowering specific, will i have enough micro nutes in my growbig and bigbloom for veg, or will i need a micro supplement??

2. Will the use of mollasses and sweet provide enough carbohydrates and carbon to sustain a healthy plant, or should i add something like carboload to supplement??

3. I have read that liquid karma promote sthe over-all health of plants and their root systems, and wanted to use it for next grow. Would it go along good w/ everythign said above??

4. Does anyone know anything about the supplement "sugar daddy", I have read about it, but dont understand what the plant uses it for??

These are all questions that i need to find answers for before i start my next grow, if neone knows the answer to any of my questions id love to hear from u... :thumbsup:

Thanks all, Carl

I'm not familiar with the Tiger bloom etc so cannot answer your questions there.

As far as carbs go...my hydro guy seems to think that about 10ml/gal of Sweet is about all the carbs that a plant can generally handle. The res of your carbs, sugar, carboload etc is wasted.

I love Liquid Karma and highly recommend it

Sounds to me likey you want to go a little too crazy with all the nutes. I'd cool it....more isn't always better.

Yea ur right.. Stinky says that she uses sweet w/ mollasses, so i think im gonna try it, i got some blackstrap the other day for like 3$ at the grocery store, i still need my sweet and LK, which ill probably get an ssit on until my next gro, since my plant right now only has about a week left..

I use the FF Grow Big and the Tiger Bloom, and I suppliment using Superthrive and humic acid. No experience with the Big Bloom, but has "live culture of vitamins, amino acids, natural growth hormones, enzymes, and beneficial organic microbes." so am guessing it's got all the micro's you'd need.

2. Will the use of mollasses and sweet provide enough carbohydrates and carbon to sustain a healthy plant, or should i add something like carboload to supplement??

I believe they are all basically aiming for the same thing...carbon/carbs. I only use the molasses, and seems to be fine. See q#4, tho.

3. I have read that liquid karma promote sthe over-all health of plants and their root systems, and wanted to use it for next grow. Would it go along good w/ everythign said above??

Never used it, don't know.

4. Does anyone know anything about the supplement "sugar daddy", I have read about it, but dont understand what the plant uses it for??

I'm sure someone knows, but I'm not one of 'em. Appears to be just another carb source, but I thought carbs are supposed to be added during flower stage. Says on the info for the stuff that is great for seedlings, veg stages and a stress releiver prior to transplant. So am kinda curious about this, too.
My guess...pick one and give it a go, but I'll be watching for other's replies too.

Hmmm. Guess I take too long to answer. You two are quick, lol.

If your plant is a week from harvest I don't think any of those things are going to help you at this point but keep them in mind for next time.

Oh most deffinately completely agree, these questions are 100% geared toward my next grow. Im thinking it might have to go like this. 3-part FoxFarm, sweet, mollasses, and some liquid karma.
