It's all good. Basically, this is just a small experiment to see WTF happens and if there are noticable differences in the end result (other than yeild)
My "miss the dank" comment is probably too generalized.
I still get dank from my buckets, but I do notice a bit less "frosting" on the hydro than the same plants done in soil. The bubblehash runs tell the tale, IMO...offering about 1/2 again as much from the soil grown plants than the hydro plants. (same strain) Then again...soil takes forever and offers far less product to run overall...
I have 2 large containers of GH "Maxigrow/
Maxibloom" on hand and up to this date, have been using this product and a few additives for my grows. (fulvic, Koolbloom. kelp for foliar)
Humboldt nutes was certainly considered. However, all of their organic products I've seen are thick/chalky/gritty (organic bloom comes to mind) and grey to black. Seems like they'd be real root chokers and would make everything black/dirty. I realize organics aren't gonna be as clean as chems..but i knew there had to be something a bit more "filtered".
Here's what I finally decided on:
Great White beneficial microbes
Humboldt Roots
Pura Vida Grow
Pura Vida Bloom
Roots Organic Liquid Guano + KMag (added bloom boost)
Earth Juice Catalyst
still undecided about "flushing" products/sweetners and am not sure they work/are cost effective for what they offer. Comments?
The Pura Vida is fairly "clean" looking and in solution probably won't end up "black" in the res.
The Roots organic guano looks amazing to me. Grey'ish in color...doesn't appear chalky/like it will seperate in the res.
Time will tell. I'm tweeking the room as we speak. New ventilation/ducting runs, moving the refllective material closer to capture more light, and a better/easier way to facilitate draining the system. (hopefully)
thanks for the comments
