End product is amazing. The buffer allows the plant to take up the nutrients it needs when it needs it. I've noticed better trichome production as well as a better quality smoke. No need to flush either as your plant will not be taking up any excess nutrients. White ash every time and amazing terpene profiles. They are based in Canada and I'm not sure they ship to US direct but I know there are hydro stores you can order from that ship to the US.
So bloom is to be used during the flowering stage. Looking at their website you'd still have to buy other parts in order to have an optimal grow. This is what I'm trying to avoid and why I stick to Mantis one part seedling to harvest.
Forsure, not everyone is going to start with a PH buffered soil. I personally grow in coco and would love to move to DWC. Mantis is amazing in hydro especially dealing with a Res.
If using good soil, you probably won't need nutes until flower. If you need extra N, just add 1/2 cup/g urine to the dyna bloom. Some growers here use foliage plus or dynagrow the entire cycle. But if you do use grow and bloom it's still only $40 for both and will last 12 times as long as the mantis.
Totally. I know my friends who use Mantis tend not to use any extra nutrients for the first 4-6 weeks until the nutrients in their soil start to deplete. To each their own and what works best for each person
100% but I can't think of a soil sold that's not already amended.
You can add additives and I know people do like to tinker and play around with it but I just haven't really seen the need to yet. I have tried some additives that aren't nutrients I won't say the name because people praise it, but, I did a side by side and did not notice a single difference in yield or quality by using Mantis with an additive compared to just using Mantis on its own.
I can try to figure out why if you pm me rather than post? Often times ppl see different results and sometimes it's ppl praising snake oil and sometimes there is a explanation of why they seen differing results.
nah when them old hens quit laying eggs they done haahah, i have had to get the pellet gun out though,went out back door last week to find about a 30 lb porcupine standing there ,so next day there it was in a tree asleep,it never woke up 2 days later another,them damn quills will even pierce welding gloves , hated to do it but,my fenced in yard is mine ,the wildlife have the other 2 1/4 acres,coming on porch knocking my corn buckets over,with luck im done with all that,love my critters hahahBeen an up and down ride but still to stubborn to sit down and give up. Nothing wrong with ornery brother... ya still bitchin ya still kickin.
Maybe pull out the old BB gun and give he a slap on the butt. Lol that'll get her
well i had a few of them stitches break ,they sharp too,but ya all good mate,not much holds me down all though a 2015 nissan versus ac job about wiped me out,had to take whole dash out and seats too,that was atough job aint gonna lie,since then i kinda been laying back kinda hhahahah man if im gonna go ,i want no jobs unfinished .
Coco is less forgiving, needs more frequent watering, and you will use more fertilizer through your grow. This isn't a problem if you know what you're getting into. You can have terrific results with coco.
The watering part doesn’t worry me too much because I do have someone that can water for me if I go out of town...but I wasn’t aware that it’s less forgiving although it makes sense if the nutrients are going straight to the roots similar to full hydro. I also have gathered that it is more sensitive to heat changes, doesn’t retain as much, which makes me think I’ll really need to get the temps dialed in. Probably looking for some sort of small AC in the room but nowhere to vent it so will need to figure that out if the exhaust doesn’t take care of it. I‘m impressed at how many aspects there are to get a successful grow going, and how many variables can screw it up...on top of all the different growing methods lol. I bet I would shit a brick if I saw some of you guy‘s setups. It’s really cool....learning to grow like this can be applied to so many plants. I’ve always said the two things we should automatically be taught in every school is how to farm and how to patch a wound. Basic survival skills that were necessary for thousands of years up until recently.

Sure did.. worked great. My only complaint is they need to make timers with breathalyzers.... managed a few or more unitended modifications to the watering schedule... like no water for I think a day or 2? And at 14x a day peak watering that's a mistake that you can't make. (Or atleasr can't make sober) I can't remember it's in that journal. The gelato was a cranky bitch to the end. Hated high light and very light feeder so I said to hell with her she's gonna sit at the table and finish what's she gets... also took away the sunscreen but she produced pretty well considering the abuse.
op is lucky to shop his list here.
I think MY biggest issue was going from hydro to peat.... made growth rates like watching paint dry... the peat to coco made coco feel like God mode.Just wanna say. What a thread! Hope this info can become a resource for future farmers as well. The AMan gives the best advice. I wouldn’t contradict him, although for me coco isn’t the most simple media. Peat base (pro-mix hp, or sunshine4) more Forgiving.
Coco can give better results tho for sure. For my future gro starting soon,
If available local I’ll run promixhpcc, if not I’ll mix up my own with canna.
great advice lads.
