I apologize..I know this is Hydro thread but curious...does this info. apply to soil as well? So if what you're saying is true, I guess I been cancelling my bacterial supplement all this time. I just recently started using h202 and adding it along with subculture at same feeding cylce. Sounds like a bad idea UNLESS not relevant to soil. But what if I change it up and use h202 and no subculture at one feeding...and at next feeding use subculture and not h202. Still gonna kill the bacteria in the soil huh?? holla back with info. whoever knows...much appreciated.....

p.s. I'm on this thread cuz thinkin bout switching to hydro soon..thanx

Never use h2o2 in soil!!!

[latewood]

Yeah, If I had Nasa's budget, I could grow veggies in Antartica Too. LOL...peace

some quick notes...(1). h2o2 works great in reservoirs with chemical nutes...
(2). do Not use h2o2 in hydro reservoirs containing organics, because it kills all microbes!!! beneficial or not!
(3) Use hygrozyme

I second the hygrozyme! but soooo damn expensive

any idea if sensizyme by advanced measures up? its half the price but you have to use twice as much.. just curious.

[latewood]

yes sensizyme is a great product...I have used it, but changed over to hygro...(organic) shelf life is a consideration, also.

i HAVE serious ROOT ROT with an Ajarn's haze #1. Stinks like hell. My wife asked if i farted when I looked in the res. vat! (well I might have farted too) BUT I used Flora Micro, Flora Bloom (real light) and added 3oz of Flora Shield to 3 gallons, I only have like a week or two to hatvest but ALL MY BUDS leaves turned YELLOW!

any input guys?

:thumbsup:

[latewood]

as plant finishes, the lack of nitrogen available in your solution causes the leaves to yellow. if you are close to harvest, this means that your plant is using stored nitrogen available from the leaves...thus they yellow.

p.s. you should use nutrients as directed for better results. peace

hello all.. i'm a new user to the gh nute's can i do the whole grow with just using the flora grow flora micro flora bloom.. i'm afraid to use what they say to use, u guys got me scared to use the other stuff.. lol if i go by the gh weekly program will i be allright? hope this did'nt sound to stupid.. lol can somebody give a newbe hydro grower what to use and not to use. thanks

[latewood]

Yes you can! that is how I started. I got g-m-b and superthrive.

then I discovered liquid karma...Great stuff...covers alot of beneficial elements and acids.

Then I started into enzymes, but you can use h202 if you are pure 3-part. and you can add a little epsom salt for magnesium.
Enzymes are important for root health.

I eventually tried most of advanced nutrients and still use a few...
Bud Blood ...big bud...And Overdrive, all get used in succession and never together, so They last awhile. I still have 1/2 bottle of final phase, but have been using florakleen..both good.

But; In answer to your question; You would actually be wise; To use just the 3-part, because it is so simple to get good healthy growth and you will then, truly be able to measure the advantage of any additive you decide to try down the road.

here is a pretty much foolproof recipe:
seedlings...NO nutes. Once they have grown to 4-5 nodes(alternating leaf sets) then you give them 5 ml of each part per gallon...that will bring you to an ec of around 800 to 1000 depending on your water. (if you use distilled or RO water...then you must add calcium and magnesium back into the solution, because these elements are essential) MY Well water will has just about 167ppm. City water varies greatly. so it is important to know what is in your water.

once they take off you can give them 8ml each per gallon just like the direction's state on the bottle. GH website has a calculator and additive chart if you check it out. Hope this helps you out and answers your Q' I love 3-part and I have grown a Sexy Orange Skunk plant in DWC and yield was 3/4 LB. peace

p.s. 3-part is so versatile, I am sure you can find alot of ways, but this simple method is great for someone starting out.
