What opinions do you all have regarding running GH Floroliciuos during the bulking and or ripening stages in UC?
I know CC says it's unnecessary and may not work in a sterile, UC roots style environment.
Used to use it in DWC from time to time. Made for tasty product back then...
I use it... I'm not 8th a UC system but I am rdwc...
It works great for me.
As with any additives I always give what they show as minimal strength.
Last grow I gave it 1/4 serving every time I added to the system. I didn't know I just needed to add it at change outs...
I've used them together and while not entirely certain, I don't think it contains any beneficial bacteria. It's just that it is derived from organics.
When used very sparingly (1ml to 5 gallons) it didn't seem to create any real issues. Higher dosages leave film/sludge IME. Have pulled my best crops w/ the healthiest, firmest roots and straight mineral nutes + pool shock. Not that FLP necessarily causes root problems, I just don't know that it has any benefit at such low amounts.
I use Floralicious+, no more than a few ml/gallon and only in the initial flowering res mix. I do not dump my res during flower until 3-5 days before chop. Any more than that, or added later in flower, and I can taste it in the end product.
Works a treat for nutrient absorption, as well as adding additional complexity to the flavor and aroma.
