many people do. it's a fucking shame the family that started GH sold out. I will never use their products again. Or Botanicare or Gavita. We have to make a stand. Otherwise these corporate giants will pay off the politicians to pass legislation making it illegal for anyone to grow and distribute but them, and we will be back growing in secret, instead of owning legit businesses.
I would skip Advanced and the eleventy brazilian bottles of mostly water, they have a couple of decent products but you don't need the whole line to grow good weed. With AN you are paying for the name as much as what's in the bottle along with all that water. You'll find plenty of growers who swear by AN though. To each his own.what do you recommend for a hydroponic RDWC system? I would like to find a good alternative when my GH runs out (which could be over a year seeing that I just bought the 1-gallon 3-parts)

This is Chocolate Charm from 14er in Boulder, grown with jacks and the recipe above. From the fantastical garden that belongs to @xavier7995
To make a working solution to be top fed, dripped or used in flood tables mix the following:
1.89g/gallon Peters Professional 5-11-26
1.84g/gallon Yara Liva CALCINIT Calcium Nitrate
0.94g/gallon Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts)
Mixed together this will deliver PPM 100-24-108-93-25 (N-P-K-Ca-Mg)
I hate throwing things away too. I've been milking my GH ph down for about a year now. Got a bottle of Techniflora ph down to replace it. I won't buy GH ever again.I was looking at Jack's hydro stuff, I might switch to that when my GH bottles are empty(I hate to waste money)
thanks
Add the jacks first, then the epsom salts and calcinit. Cooler water will take longer to dissolve, when I was DWC I threw a water pump into a 55 gallon drum to flume and the motor added a bit of heat, probably 5-7 degrees, and be careful when you add the bloom booster. I don't run DWC anymore, too much of a pain in the ass keeping things cool. Shoot me a pm if you can't find it, I have bags for years of most formulations centennial carried back in the day.Anything special knowledge I need to mix this stuff up or any special order of the components? BTW: this is for an RDWC ~35 gallon system.
There are positives and negatives for both salt-based fertilizers, and organics. Stop derailing the thread with a stupid hit and run insult to a method of growing that shows good results. Why don't you post your soul synthetics flowers and let the pictures speak for themselves?Fuck the salts , run. Soul synthetics if you gotta run bottle (95% organic , 5% converted )
If you are also saying that using AN's full line is a farce, then I agree with you. There are a couple of products that work well, but I don't support them as a company when they water down their supplements so much and don't put ingredients on the bottle. Their dosage is bullshit too but that's for another thread. However, I don't think AN and salts are comparable as it relates to cost, though.I hate throwing things away too.

As far as the bazillion bottles of AN, that's a farce. All I have ever used was the Hobbyist line - and i will be the first in line to tell you you don;t need everything they put out. I will tell you though, AN works and works very well.

I don't think you are being a dick, and I hope you don't think that I am being a dick by kindly refraining from engaging your query. To the point that other stuff is taking priority, and that I just don't have the time to research and look around for sources to cite. You may judge this as a copout, which is fine, but I simply don't care enough to spend any time on a thorough reply. My biggest issue was and continues to be the labeling for AN, and the reasons don't really matter. What's in the bottle doesn't matter, what matters to me is why they don't list the ingredients on the bottle like everyone else, and I don't buy that it's for proprietary reasons. You can have the chitosan argument, my lazy reply would be why the FDA won't clear it. I don't see anything that is very helpful other than perusing this, but it gets over my head and doesn't say anything about ingestion. https://books.google.com/books?id=9XQZVUO1CscC&pg=PA2338&lpg=PA2338&dq=fda+won+approved+chitosan+products&source=bl&ots=uGak9jfP3A&sig=5xV3TtFzBRwXevPAGza8F5NSXK0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiS3uy0_ODVAhUJ0IMKHaBcBhcQ6AEILzAC#v=onepage&q=fda won approved chitosan products&f=falsehey, I get it, bro. I'm actually looking to switch from AN myelf. Trialing out Emerald Harvest as I tye this due to the attitude at AN, like you stated.
I've just never hear chitosan was hazardous. in fact i've just looked up a few place that say it is not hazardous, although the FDA won't clear it for drug delivery systems.
