but i do ask for you to check out ces at cuttingedgesolutions.org browse their site check out the feed chart and nute calculator and see how easy they are to use. and like i said when one company makes just one set of nutes they must be doing something right. and i feel along with other growers i know that use ces that it is a tweked version of the flora series by gh.
That may be the case now; but you know what happens once they start gaining popularity (and getting richer) all of a sudden they have a batch of different products in which they spend a ton of money developing, as they say....
As far is this grow is concerned, this is my first, I'm using hydrofarm's emily's garden, In which i have two healthy Ice plants, a widow skunk and one bigbud; I also have two auto-widows going in a seperate home made dwc tote. I realize that the emily's garden may not be big enough for the results I would like, so once I finish vegging, I'm going to tranfer them to a 20 gallon tote, so the roots have room.
The nutes I have on hand is technaflora's recipe for success kit; and the Gh flora series included in the emily's garden system... so far so good, haven't had any problems yet, I'm almost 3 weeks in...

Nutrient choices, strength and ppm I am new to growing, but with cannabis grow bible and this website, I have the fundamental tools to get it right from the beginning, sort of, lol. I feel as if I'm recieving an Ivy league caliber of education when it comes to growing, but just have zero ezperience lol. Anyway, one thing that has me confused is the variety and availabilty of so many different nutrients. There are so many companies in competition for our hard earned cash, it's ridiculous for a rookie like myself to choose.. Rating: 5
