Indeed it has winta! I am extremely excited for this quest!:rofl I really like the idea of Sun Pulse. If everything is as I beleive it to be theoretically then the Sun Pulse should give off more usable light energy therefore it should produce faster growth and higher yield. We shall see although I have never grown Hindu Skunk.
I am also excited about my new medium, nutrients, and the idea of smart pots. I always like to try out new stuff haha. I am a new grower. a lot of people say new growers do that before they set into a specific nutrient. I try different things because I want to see what's out there before I say what's best for me.
So far I have used Pura vida, Roots Organics, and now I will try Soul Synthetics(misleading name)
Pura vida is very easy to use. It is a two part organic nutrient with everything necessary for good growth. It is readily available so it can easily be used for hydro. It comes with micro nutes in it already and the product is OMRI listed. Great stuff highly recommended. It is really strong so not a lot is needed. It does not have Cal Mag though. that is a separate additive. It has no value concerning micro biology. That must be added by either making an EWC tea, or using some type of spore inoculant like great white, oregonism xl. It is a decently priced nutrient especially since it contains all necessary micro nutrients as well as macro nutrients. It contains molasses as well to help nurture your existing microbiology.
Roots Organics, well you saw the last grow. It is a good nutrient line if you really want to go completely organic with raw materials. It is a proportioned compost tea in a bottle with excellent ingredients. It is also highly reccomended. Not to mention I found that it does not burn your plants as easily as say pura vida. I am assuming this is because some of the nutes were locked into the organic materials(guano, castings, kelp, ect) so it didn't put osmotic pressure on the roots like when too much readily available ions are present. Good stuff. It is necessary however to brew it in a bucket with a couple air stones for at least 24 hours to activate the dormant bacteria and fungi. That is the benefit of this nutrient line. Not only are you providing nutes, but you are also providing healthy soil building organic materials to further buffer your medium for a safe PH and you are ensuring a diverse amount of microbiology continues to exist with every tea therefore ensuring excellent nutrient uptake and increased resistance to disease, drought, unfavorable conditions, ect. I use it when the PH rises to 6.0 naturally from the increase in bacteria. So it might be inconvenient to those who want to give their plants nutrients immediately and don't want to plan in advance, but if you don't mind I would say its pretty damn good. Although you can probably just buy the raw ingredients for cheaper then the nutrient line lol.
