Anyone here have any experiences with these nute line.
I've been using Canna line and was looking to try out new set up and nutes.
 
#2
I have been using the AARDE (soil) nutes to feed my dirt plants (moms).
A & B (5-9ml/G), + Roots Excellerator (1ml.G), Mad Farmers NUTS (15ml/G), Superthrive B1 (1ml/G), Cal/Mag (5ml/G), and (usually Botanicare Sweet at5ml/G) Roots Organic Trinity (5ml/G).

My moms are rocking the casbah.

A couple friends of mine use it and get great results. You just have to watch your plants and see how they like it... and they will. Good luck

Aquaflakes with the whole line is badass. Super easy and stable. 1ml of A & B equals about 100 ppm in RO. PH would be steady for a week moving .1 in either direction. That right there makes thing so simple its not even funny. Also has the Most calcium then anyother nutes I have seen which is good for those coco warriors. Only reason I switched is to try something else and the price. 88 bucks for a 250ml of roots excel gets a little steep when you run multi res's. Would Def go back in the future.

Edit:
Followed the Schedule to the T minus the shooting powder. I used Advanced Big Bud powder instead and they loved it.

This stuff rocks.

I have used for years.

Root excel may be pricey but at a dilution rate of 0.3ml per lt, its really very economical.

The base ferts (A&B) are quite reasonable in price. You get 5 liters for the same price as a gallon of competitive products. The additives arent too bad if you look at the complete package-Roots Ex is expensive but you only use 1 ml per gallon-Top Booster is only used once-Bud XL is only used about 25% of the entire grow cycle-Shooting Powder used for only 3 weeks.

They are very good nutes.You have to watch the coco nutes though.If you use RO water with the coco nutes, the ph will shoot down to 3.5-4.Its meant to be used with tap water!Either that or make sure you adjust the ph up!I learned the hard way:(

I have a litre of the aqua flakes a+b, and am starting a coco grow soon. I was given these nutes with a sort of DWC bucket, and wasn't aware they were good for coco.

Can i use these aqua flakes a+b on coco, do they have everything the canna coco a+b have in them? Or should i really get the canna coco nutes?

I've actually used the aqua flakes on my soil plants. I saw a few grows where people were using hydro nutes on their soil plants oncew the soil was bereft of nutes, and were getting good yields. I certainly did get much better yields using them compared to the bio-bizz, but found the taste lacking a bit, though i may not have flushed long enough.

Anyway, anyone ever used these aqua flakes with sucess on coco?

I use the Aqua flakes and the whole line religiously. I feel it is worth every cent. When you look at the measurements it really ends up being pretty cost effective for the results. The root ex and shooting powder are just unreal.

H&G coco is great! thats interesting you say that manicgrower, ill have to check that out next time. ive NEVER noticed a problem
 
#14
Aqua Flakes actually work better in Coco than the Coco formula did....

thats interesting you say that Texaskid. A lot of people in my area are saying that and have switched to the aqua flakes in coco even if they are running to waste. I was skeptical at first, but my buddy has an identical setup as me and he used the aqua flakes and had better results than I ever had with the cocoab. Iit was honestly one of the only variables between our rooms. We even had the same strain/cut from the same source.

I think I might just switch to the aqua flakes.

Yea Aquaflakes in coco is great. Thats the only medium I used for the Aquaflakes. I heard that about H&G Coco lines being strictly for feed to waste but I saw it first hand do nothing like the Aquaflakes did on tables or feed to waste. Seemed to have a K def. Simplicity is the key with that stuff. Give someone a meter and a schedule and they are good to go. Follow it to the T even though some things might sound crazy or be expensive and you will notice the difference. In the end I dropped all the sups and ran aquaflakes with Foxfarm bigbllom and the bigbud before swithing to other nutes. Flav was never a problem with it as it seemed to have better flav then the foxfarm with I love. I have no idea about Canna coco except I hear nothing but good things. Now take that with a grain of salt because they are prcey for the whole line of Canna and H& G. Think I paid 590 or 690 for the big bottles of H&G and all the supps (big bottles) and believe Canna is right there or more expensive.

What do you think about using Aqua Flakes with Pro-mix? Seems that Pro-mix is closer to coco than soil is-have been using H&G soil since the begining.
 
#19
Damn Neptune, I see why you're the god of the seas{water}, your plants look outstanding! I harvest this weekend then will be running AquaFlakes as my base with Roots excelurator, Top Booster, BudXL, Sensizyme, Big Bud & Overdrive and Sweet. Hope my results turn out as good as yours. Whats your specs? Lights, res or container size? Peace.

anyone can advise me with House and garden that has used religiously B4

I am entering week 5 of 8.5-9 House& Garden soil. I combined h&G recipe with a custome recipe, worked really nicely so far. anyways week 1

per gallon
1- soil a/b roots, multi, GH humic-(which i recently found that they apply high concentrate Fulvic into H&G base, so might not need extra) AN carboload & bud blood, drip clean of course

week 2 - same as 1 but big bud instead of bud blood

week 3 - same as week 2

week 4 dropped the roots and humic.. dropped the big bud and carbo load last 3 days (only a/b, multi and drip clean) to prepare plants for week 5 with top booster and bud xl, says do not use top booster with products like the shooting powder or big bud, kool bloom ect.

week 5 I just started week 5 of 9, so soil a/b, multi, top bosster, bud xl, drip, oh also i use a drop a gal of superthrive with all my plants, veg &r flower just incase they might be missing a touch or somthing, forgot that one. only using top booster for 3 days as recommended, then same mix minus top booster for rest of week.

week 6 will be shooting powder, I am wondering if it will be safe using shooting powder on em, since i've added bud blood, and big bud, will the plants still like shooting powder as much, prolly. Let me know what yu think. Cheers
