Hi all,
I'm on a mission to increase the quality of my flower by any means necessary. I have good genetics, am learning to cure properly, am switching over to CMH for flower and so the final step is to find if there are any additives that can help.
I grow in coco & at the moment I just use canna coco A&B and Canna PK13/14. I can't really go too far down the organic route because that causes problems in my tank/feed setup. People have suggested terpinator and winter frost. Do people here rate them and are there any other additives I should be looking in to?
Cheers :)
terpinator = snake oil and a bunch of BS , save your cash for real benefits like beneficial bacteria or fungi that work with salts and worth every penny ( like sea green and tru bloom & rootamentary)

now for a worthy base for coco for your cash, I would suggest look into Mendocino producer/grow more (same company just different labels for certain things )
A base ( you only need 3-4 stages through The Whole cycle and that’s your choice , you could run 1 if your a cheap ass ) point is their average on their dry amendments is 50-100 bucks and you get 4,500 gal average ( beat that liquid hydro bottled and they expire and you gotta shake em lol )
When I ran a hydro store, I told people to get their base fertilizer or soil mix down for the best quality. Everybody thought there was some magic bullet to growing and never listened.
I'm doing a perpetual 4-1-5 NPK as my base fertilizer based on tissue samples. Cut back on K after week 6 until flush. The only additives I use are a touch of Mr. Fulvic and pyroligneous acid. Maybe a calcium foliar at flip.
Why the cut on K?
Why the cut on K?
Aqua man recommended i do the same.
Bump up on K sulfate around week 4, lower back down after week 6.
I'd guess because the tissue reports show an increase of wanting more K during those weeks?
But he said after week 6. I just taper the base nute down as needed. No flush unless medium has build up. And i agree. Too much nutes during ripening can hurt potency.
Sea green by primordial solutions is an amazing product. It has your “goodie bag” as I call it. All the aminos, kelp, molasses, humic acid and beneficial bacteria. I have noticed it improve the health of my plants a lot and I’m in coco as well.
I’ll have to check out mr. fulvic then! And yeah it does foam a lot, the only real downside but I just add it bits at a time and it helps with the insane foamingIt's a nice little tool for soil/soil-less. It foams like crazy in hydro. I had it in my lineup for a long time.
I'm using Mr. Fulvic right now, perfect for hydro. It is organic, water extracted (no hydroxides or extra K), potent at 1 ml/gal and has fulvic, amino and organic acids.
Im right there with yah. Grow Big + Mag Sulfate in Coco for myself.
Sorry for the delay - can I ask, what does mag sulphate do? And do add it from day 1 of flower?Im right there with yah. Grow Big + Mag Sulfate in Coco for myself.
Terpinator is just nano K sulfate. Its really the sulfate that brings out the terps.
Can get the same results from cheaper products.
Id recommend going with a microbe blend that's high in bacteria. Fungi is over rated when in coco. We dont need help with water uptake. We need proteins, amino acids, and other good stuff from living coco.
Its going to really do a good job of keeping things balanced.
That would be my own 2cents. Otherwise Keep it simple.
They like a balanced feed the entire grow, no need to add too much snake oil.

Extra magnesium If you need it plus sulfur brings out the smell in cannabis so as long as you’re not overdoing it it’s a win-winSorry for the delay - can I ask, what does mag sulphate do? And do add it from day 1 of flower?
