I just finished my first UC run with H+G, after switching from DM on a friends recommendation, and I won't be using it again. I've used their base and adds for a couple coco and rockwool grows, and have never been really happy with the flavor/smell. I chalked it up to the mediums not flushing well and figured the UC might give different results, but still less than ideal.
Also, I think the extra N is definitely not helpful for UC growing, I had tons of bushy growth in flower (despite training, supercrop, etc.) with and very few big colas.
This next run I'll be returning to Dutch Masters to see how that goes..
Good discussion going on so far.
QB, heads up as even if you can stabilize your pH be aware of the sub par flowering with the H&G.....consider blooming with Canna or DM. IMO
I appreciate the heads up. You wouldn't happen to have any comparision photos would you? I would like to see the same cut side by side with h&g vs somebody else (canna, dm).
I would love to hear Benderdundat's theories on this topic. As one of the most accomplished growers in the UC, and using the H&G line, I would love to hear if it is some expert techniques that made it work, or if somebody like the rest of us could make that line work.
I use the H&G in a RDWC, and truthfully I personally couldn't say anything plus or minus, since it is my first grow of that style, and with those nutes. They seemed fine, till I screwed things up myself. I do notice a lot of residue in my tanks at the water line and above. It was told to me recently that it was the roots excel falling out in a highly oxygenated environment. I will cut it out for a bit, and see how the residue goes.

I did think it funny that H&G uses the same nute through veg and flower. Only difference is the additives. Maybe I'm old school, but I always had a totally different formula for straight flower.
Your not old school.....you just know what works brother.
F1y....didn't realize this, good find. H&G, what's up.....USA likes to flower properly too ;)
