UPDATE: GROW-WEEK-4-D42 - G5GW4D1 - Monday 08 June 2020
Day 42 - Since germination
Weekly Target PPM - Now have a full load of enzymes which accounts for about 100-150 ppm. Add to that my 50 ppm meter error and that puts my real number @ between 860-810 ppm.

Temp issue corrected & stable. PPM's OK

Yes, the Flower Fuel product is 1-34-32 and this week will hit 100% step. Trying to keep from jumping the gun, and stay on the planned schedule. This is the 100% week for all of the veg nutes. This will also be the last week of the Nitrogen rich "Base" I will also stop using the pre-mixed CalMag and switch to using aspirin & "Sweet" to supply the calcium & mag. 12x125 mg aspirin per week and I will keep the "sweet" at 100% for four weeks before i start to stair-step down to flush.

Using extra RO to dilute back down to 800-900 ppm (raw numbers) whenever my additives take me over metric threshold.

Still spraying the Regaula CG once a week as well.


Patience. patience. patience.... aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! lol

I use a product called "Enzymes Komplete" Its cheaper than hygrozyme and better, or so I'm told by quite a few people. It's a liquid, doesnt change ppm one bit, doesnt clog anything, has yucca in it to help the enzymes get where they need to go... Its good stuff. And absolutely works, very very well.

I run coco with an automated drip system so basically hydro for all intents and purposes.
Click to expand...

Finally started my research on the two recommendations. First off; Hygrozyme if F'n proud of their shit! What make it so special (in their opinion..).



Hygrozyme Horticultural Enzyme Formula
Healthy mediums foster healthy growth! Hygrozyme is a natural enzymatic formula used for cleaning growing mediums, without chemicals. Enzymes in a growing media eat dead protein removing potential areas where illness can develop. Through this break-down process plants are better able to obtain nutrients. More nutrients and less attacks equals bigger, stronger and faster plant growth. Use during all growing stages.

Available in 1-liter, 4-liter and 20-liter sizes.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Seedling Trays: 6 ml per 4 liters (1 gallon) of water to treat prior to use. Gently soak medium to meet required moisture level.

Cuttings Media Preparation: Soak rockwool cube or plugs at 6 ml per 4 liters (1 gallon) of water. Proceed with normal regimen.

Hydroponics/ Soil/ Coco/ Rockwool/ Media: Should be used in conjunction with nutrient change-out based on weekly feeding schedule. Add 8-10 ml per 4 liters (never exceed 15 ml per 4 liters). Use as a soak / cleanser or in a drip feed system. Stay with normal feed schedule and apply in conjunction with normal regimen.

Foliar Equipment Wash & Rinse Application: 4 to 6 ml per 4 liters (1 gallon) (Use RO or distilled water when using in foliar spray equipment). Rinse equipment before and after use. Use once a week or when dictated by your feeding schedule.



ENZYMES KOMPLETE™ CLEANING & CLEANSING APPLICATION RATES
Measure well & accurately with a basic medical syringe or dropper.
Mixed with Water in the rate of :

2Mil. of Enzymes Komplete™ per 1liter of water | 8ml per 1US Gallon for all Gardening Cleaning & Cleansing Procedures.

*Often 1ml of Enzymes Komplete™ per 1liter of water/4ml per 1US Gallon well be sufficient.

3Mil. of Enzymes Komplete™ per 1liter of water | 12ml per 1US Gallon for all Extra Heavy Gardening Cleaning & Cleansing Procedures.

4Mil. of Enzymes Komplete™ per 1Liter of water| 16ml per 1US Gallon for all Gardening Mediums , Surfaces & Compost Enclosures.

Recommended use for the best results to keep Watering Systems Clean with Every Watering Procedure.


The warning below applies to both products.


Since I wouldn't know WTF I was looking at even if i found a content list of either product; I'll be content with knowing that experienced growers say they work.

I haven't used complete and both appear to be superb. I have used hygrowzyme and I absolutely love it. With that said I don't mind the price tag of it but komplete looks to as good or better in both quality and price.

I can't recommend komplete only because I can't use it but if it were me and when I run out I will be giving it a go and I'm almost positive it will produce the same result but cheaper. It's hard to see it producing better results because well hygrowzyme gave me perfect results for my use. In coco you may be able to see a difference? I would ask @Dirtbag if he has tried both. But in a RDWC hygrowzyme was awesome. @chemistry that turned me into it so maybe he has some input.

And with that ladies and gents; the decision is pretty much made. You hit all of the touch points i could come up with and came to the same conclusion. Komplete it will be! I'll start with a gallon to give it a fair & complete evaluation by using in for a few grows.

A big Thanks to both you and DB for your honest opinions

Havent used both personally. But the dude that turned me on to enzymes was a longtime hygrozyme guy, who converted to Komplete and that's what he recommended. He likes it better. But no doubt they are both wicked products.

UPDATE: GROW-WEEK-4-D44 - G5GW4D3 - Wednesday 10 June 2020
Day 44 - Since germination
Weekly Target PPM - Now have a full load of enzymes which accounts for about 100-150 ppm. Add to that my 50 ppm meter error and that puts my real number @ between 890-840 ppm.

Additive took the ppm's higher than Planned threshold for this grow. R&R 10 gallons with fresh RO top-off. The proportions are where they should be; I've just kept the PPM's down by diluting down with fresh RO water.

Temp issue corrected & stable. PPM's OK

Thank You. I do to. I also like the general shape of both plants. These are from the same batch of seeds as the last two grows. This grow is off to a MUCH better start than the last. I would like to think that my new feeding schedule and weekly application of Regalia CQ. I also foliar feed daily "RapidStart", "liquid Karma"; "Silica", and Regalia on a rotating basis has made a difference. Not on the shape of course. The scrog net is set at 20 inches from the top of the rez.

I just finished the last high nitrogen growth food in week 4. Yesterday was also the last application of CalMag. From now until harvest I will use aspirin for the Cal and "sweet" as the Mag.

p.s. The growth rate of these two seem to be about the same on this grow so my attempts at training "should" be more successful than the last.

This is still Auto Trainwreck. Next run starting 1 july will be Auto Candy Cane... Then i'm looking to do Auto Diesel of some sort.. If i can find some good beans.

If all of that goes well; i may jump into the deep end and chose a photo. I feel i'm still too green. I am not worthy... Yet !

Thanks @Cattapilla; The engineer in me wants to take baby steps and journal everything; The Marine says "I got a good idea of the objective, lets get after it..." Hopefully i can continue to find a reasonable balance between the two. Same fight for most of my 60+ years. Oh well.... TO THE WALLS!!!
