I don't think they effect the flavor but in my opinion you really shouldn't need them unless you live in a very dry climate. Once the rh in jar stops rising above 60-65% I stop burping and the buds stop getting drier. If your jars are never sealed then it is unlikely that the buds are getting the best cure. I used to go by feel too, after I started using the hygrometers I realized how off my feel really was. I can't stress enough how much of a difference close monitoring of the temp and rh inside the jars during curing made.
Awesome! Just to prepare you, expect a little bit of scary looking brown stuff on the roots after using this. Its nothing to worry about, I believe I read on Great White's website that it is just neutral material that helps preserve the benificials. I've found the more root mass I have, the quicker the brown material dissipates, so you may not even notice it until you use it on much younger plants.
Fuck yeah man thanks for the heads up, love hearing this kind of stuff from people who use it, I have also read that so I was a little prepared but the stuff I read was from years ago so wasn’t sure if it was even relevant anymore but I prolly would have tripped and yanked it immediately. How much do you notice it affect your ph?
just to see what happens. She is at 300 ppm and a ph of 6 flat right now and has been for a few days
I grow dwc hydro like you and use it about every other feed, never had any issues mixing it in with my nutes, I would recommend about 5ml of Sweet each time you add the Great White. Use very small amounts of the Great White, less than a tenth of the blue scoop that is in the jar, just a pinch per reservoir. Also beware of opening the jar near any fans or moving air, its a very light powder and will blow everywhere if you are not careful.
That little. On a side note, the most recent thing I learned from this forum and have changed in my own grow is not switching to bloom nutes. I had been using them for years but a few members suggested that the plants still need the same amount of nitrogen in flower and do not necessarily require higher doses of potassium and phosphorus. I can confirm the improvement in my current crop where I have only been using botanicare's pure blend pro grow for veg and flower and I have just started testing megacrop with promising early results there as well.
