Those are some great genetics you have going there combined with a killer environment! It is ashame you do not take more credit for your hard work and the genetics themselves instead of giving it all to the nutrients....but then again I understand you trying to help out your "buddies"....:) If...

Let us know how it works out for you. Going from all salts to all organic doesnt really seem like a good idea. Especially when considering how much time is needed for the biology to advance to a stage where it can process the organics into something the plants can use and uptake. If your...

Speaking off preventative measures......bottom line is this, when you start to get and improve upon all these environment "conditions" into the "target" area of measurements and levels best suited for plant health and growth your chances of success goes up and chances for disease and health...

Not sure what the "whirling back to the future" thing is you saw at the grow store was...lol....but Electro-Culture methods which is what this thread will discuss and illustrate has been used and proven since the 1940's. The concepts are actually very easy to understand if you take the time to...

I think your taking that step out of context so to speak, Treatment of the water with Ozone happens way before the water enters the actual system. So you can still follow a non sterile approach or addition of inoculates. If you go back and read some of the earlier post on ozone treatments you...

Yes that will work to kill algea and biology. I would suggest you get the 24 watt instead of the 9 watt as I would imagine they are over rated on how much water they will treat. It will depend on your setup and method of growing and amount of water, as to how effective that particular UV...

Yes sir camnibus, it happens more than you would think and more times than not the culprit is not identified correctly. A current study being conducted as we speak is trying to tie bacteria out breaks directly to the ammonia content in the nutrient base and/or additives. It seems there is...

What a typical installation might look like..... Pictured the generator is mounted to the fan using the side screws of the fan. They make ion detectors but they are expensive to actually measure the output of the generator. Another way is to put your ear up to the emitters and you can hear a...

And speaking of bacteria and nitrogen, lets discuss that a bit. Could it be possible that people misusing heavy teas loaded with biology in the UC system or other root inoculates that contains a concentration of bacteria that turns ammonia into nitrogen nitrates??????? Could this be where...

Another thing I am totally amazed at is with all the experience and knowledge that is here, you do not read anything about "ammonia" and its misuse in hydroponic nutrients. This one blows me away for sure every time. I thought that after understanding that in water culture systems like the UC...

And yet another MYTH is that nitrogen causes your plant to stretch.......so not true.

And your 100% correct rollin...CS nutrients DOES indeed have less nitrogen than other formulas, WAY TO LITTLE!!! Which is why you need to be adding all the cal/mag in the first place!!!

No I think you misunderstood my statement rollin. And you can make the assumptions if you want, but I do not. I can not help the fact that others will read this and think if they use LESS of the nutrient with improper ratios to reduce nitrogen content that they would be depriving the plant of...

True that! The price is a bit high for Heavy 16! But once you add in all the cost of additives that you will not need anymore the price gets at least a "little" better......

I should also mention that during these test we will have a "control" system running that will be using a ammonia free formula. It is shocking to me that more ammonia free formulas are not available for hydroponic systems. I currently know of only two brands. It seems everyone ignores the fact...

I dont agree with the nitrogen excess, have never had this issue probably because we do not over feed.....besides by the time you add the lacking or needed cal/mag with CS nutrients you will be increasing the nitrogen content anyhow. Hope you have some better reasons than that. If you take...

Hey guys, was thinking about doing some additional testing with the new CS nutrients compared to several popular brands. Looking at the past say year or two of various testing results, according to OUR independent results; most results show that Heavy 16 is one of the best and complete choices...

Sweet setup for sure! Thanks for sharing. Did you mention the nutrient system you would be using? Cheers!

Just for the record I would like to retract the original statements made about these nutrients. After further testing we started to see LOTS of problems that extended lots further than just some typo on the label about dosages. I had a nice "foot sandwich" with these and learned a lesson to...

Wow, if I needed all that I think I would just give it up........ It has never been the nutrients or "recipe" that brings scale breaking yields, in fact the most successful have came when KISS was enforced strictly and VERY few products were used! That is the truth.....your environment is...
