I've used many different nutrients over the years, dozens of them. Currently I'm running a tent on Remo nutrients and a tent on Flora nutrients. I've grown with both of these many times, and I'll be honest first few years I was following the charts and pumping these plants full of everything they told me too. Then I started listening to everyone saying plants do not need all that and I just had trouble understanding because my plants had always been very healthy with minimal issues. I decided I'd try a run and pretty much cut all their feeding recommendations in half. I'm now in week 7 of flower with some of the best wedding cake I've ever seen! The plants are so healthy, and they have stacked more than any other run I've ever done and the only thing I've done different is lower the feeding. Every plant is different, and they'll talk to you, but you have to be willing to listen! Happy Growing!
💯! I ran Remo for almost 3 years when I started, what a great line. Super easy-to-use. I found like 80% was what worked well for me as well. (8ml per gal, i believe 10ml was 100%)
This is great info for me, as I have just started running half of a 4x8 on liquid nutrients ( I’ve always been organic). They’re still seedlings so I haven’t given anything but water yet. Again thanks for the info !
👍🏻I use biochar wormcasting (casting and THE juice!) bacteria and fungus plus a few teas made from local ingredients...I have worm feed only with fruits and I use it during bloom...and molasses fpj all along! I focus on taste and clean Have a lifted one and lots of good vibes from France growers family
When you have your own acreage, it's easy to gather the necessary ingredients to build your own stuff. Just lift up a few items laying around and start gathering. Raking up leaf molds and microbes make a wonderful mix for your soil. You'd pay big bucks to have someone manufacture what you can get straight from the creation itself. It's fun too. :)
@@jinxclassic6064right there with you people don’t understand the value and amazing results you can have with organics when done right I also work really hard to get the best genetics I got 21 strains going right now and 24 plants total
Everyone's starts the same usually, we think the more the better but over time they/we start to realize it's not true and start to experiment with therevproducts.. most of us have heard alot of information but until we try it ourselves we really don't know, all I'm trying to say is experiment try different things but make sure your doing it in a way to learn something. Best of luck to all you growers around the globe
Scotty, just finishing up a Purple Hindu Cush run. First time using Recharge and Grow dots under a mars hydro TS 1000. In soil. 8 wk flower. Turned out great man. Thank You from The Great Lakes
Scotty… I started 2 plants , 2 with grow dots one without , the difference is purely amazing 2 times the size, 3 times greener, more girth of the stems .. grow dots for the win!!!
Took 2 years and about 10 grows to get up all the bottles in advanced nutrients. I will say though. It's like a walk in the park now. Always a nice outcome. As long as water is good. I have no worries.
They love coconut water. It's so damn expensive here in the states but I ain't gonna lie I've given my girls coconut water to flush and you betcha they love that stuff.
I use earthworm castings all throughout my grow until week three of flower I use Gia green Grove veg 444 all purpose and then Gaia green bloom for bloom the 284 bloom I still will add my organically done bloom booster at week three at 1.5 teaspoons for 5 gallons works great for me.
Don't need increased Phosphorus in flowering, just Potassium. Stabilized Silica products are where the profit is at, they are more stabilizer than Silica, as long as you use your res within 24hrs Potassium Silicate solution will remain perfectly available. Sugars are useful during flush to not draw down Brix levels in the plant
Great topic, right on the money I bought the hype and a container of Booster. Still trying to finish it 3 years later. I am able to use it on my big outdoor trees but slow release fertilizer mixed with Promix and black loam do the real work. Time to check out these Grow Dots 😀
Long time watcher 1st time commenting.. would love to hear your opinion on the “ MILLS “ product range.. been using mills for about 1.5 years now with what I feel and see are great results.. love the videos and educations. Keep it up! 🎉
I used to have an employee that used them and loved them, but it is a product from overseas and they had some issues getting it here in the USA, but that was closer to the pandemic so that may not be an issues any more.
I’m too paranoid to use bat guano with all their discovered & undiscovered diseases feel like it’s too much of a risk for direct or even indirect exposure. & seabirds are just flying pigs filthy 😂 at the end of the day it’s all shit 💩 marketing can paint them safer by using terms like “guano” or “castings” 😂 whatever the case 💩 is 💩 & a lot of trust goes into a company to mature the product to certain temperatures to kill off anything harmful.
Can you do a series for a full process from start to finish for dummies? I don't know even the beginning of growing myself and I want to be prepped for when its legal here to grow myself.
There’s a feed available in New Zealand and it has part A part B for the whole grow , then root boost to add , flower enhancer , and resin boost to add in as well , are they all gimmicks to ? Thank you 🙏 ❤✌️
Humboldt Secrets Flower Stacker is the highest bloom booster I use. I rely more on the good bio-stimulants and microbial life along with wollastonite for silica and calcium. As long as I'm giving the girls and soil a good variety they will take up what they need as much as they possibly can. Pretty much only thing I do in flower is slowly cut back on nitrogen then start giving Flower Stacker after the third week. Oh yeah I also water with a higher PHed water in flower stage than I do in the vegging stage (even in organic)...
Are Grow dots fine to use with bottom feeding? I have self wicking trays I love to use for simplicity. I top feed until the plants leaves reach the edge of the grow bag and then it's bottom feed only. Will the grow dots still be fine?
I think that the grow dots, recharge, and some kind of silica supplementation could be the best and most hassle free way to go. What about at the seedling and clone phase?
check out Mr. Canuk out of Canada, he uses gaia green and teas, he shows his exact measurements and procedure. Gave me a blueprint to start with. good luck
Also Gaia green here as a first timer and I’m looking like most the RUclips videos I’ve studied idk if it’s luck or proper research but I’m pre flowering very well and haven’t hit the 284 by itself yet
Used the Black Kow crap from HD I know seems to work for me. For the last 3 years a friend and I grow the exactly the same strains every summer mine are always more green, alot bigger I tell him but he refuses to use it telling me it's the miracle grow of manure lol I always test on tomato plant first cause I've heard people getting bad batches?
My goto bloom booster on recent soil runs is homemade CalMag (Calcium Silicate - Magensium Sulfate - Citric Acid) and Recharge to finish. Cannabis mines the crap out of Cal Mag in soil and Recharge helps them keep pushing like nothing else.
First part you talk how useless PK booster is, but in end you admit when you use A+B type nutrients you want that PK booster to change formula... Your info is sometimes really confusing when you talk about flower phase need less nitrogen and then you talk about using nutrients that has none of it and that's one mistake I think... They need less nitrogen I agree; but they still it need for basic stuff when they flower of course. But good thing you bring up organic boosters like kelp, but there is more organic good boosters that are extracts from marine plants or ground plants which are actually better for flowering if you google why you don't want kelp at flowering stage or atleast not whole time of it you find reasons why(in short terms it is insane chlorophyll increasement and is alternative organic hormone for plant when it dosn't have enough of its own, its long topic) , mean while other plants extracts does that job better in many different way. >I think we are confusing this topic also for soil growers and soil less growers when it comes to amounts and metabolism. Then there is this Triacontanol known as melissyl alchohol which can be used as foliar spray and it's organic growth promoter and can be used in any type of growing medium because it's foliar spray, that being sayd I woudn't recommend it since you can only get it as powder form from china only nowdays, but I know stuff works because my country had this crazy bio professor who made product of it which included everything in it that plant wont get intoxicated from it and can drain it really fast from leaves, what it basicly does is just improve plant normal metabolism without directly changing it like synthetic growth promoter does. But while using Triacontanol you really must feed nutrients all the time. Sadly company which made this product ended working at start of year after 30+years.. :< got few bottles saved for next few years atleast. With all that increase of course CO₂ in air and O2 in roots are needed to see difference which are other fundamentals of photosynthesis, never can leave 1 fundamental lower then other, and I know it's hard to keep up CO₂ levels in home grow enviroment unless going really expensive way, but actually getting few bags for 1m² or 3 for 2m² will produce enough to bring up levels higher, depending how your out take air works because it can bring it back too from outside of tent and leaving hot O2 into upper air which has slower intake fan into outdoors and letting CO₂ drops bottom where it's taken again into tent from side. I should draw picture how it works. And of course O2 can be added easily into water even with hand watering.
When I first started growing, I bought most of the lineup of Advanced Nutrients. I did an experimental crop testing the various products. The plants that got everything (3 part, big bud, overdrive, bud candy, bud factor x, nirvana, b-52, bud ignitor, voodoo juice) were not much different from the plants I just gave the 3 part. Bud candy and bud factor x made no real difference in terms of yield, flavor or potency. B-52 is the biggest waste of money in the entire lineup. The ones I would recommend are the 3 part, big bud, and overdrive. The voodoo juice works well too. Bud ignitor is expensive but does alright and you don't use much of it so it lasts a long time. I'm pretty sure something like guano can replace the Nirvana. Moving forward, I plan to replace the AN lineup with cheaper alternatives.
New grower an I use AN. I've done only 3 plants and been quite happy. 2 pounds dry and its some of the best stuff I've hard. I have thought half the additives are probably a waste of money. I like that I don't need to mess with ph. Its $$$ but pretty hard to mess up.
We use P-K boosters at week 6-7 of an 8 week strain. It literally doubles the mass as opposed to not using them. We also use glucose not as sap booster but it does have that affect but to boost the microbes uplift. Both synthetic like Raw sweet and organic like Foop Sweetener and also Aphrodite’s extraction which is and organic ferment carbon. All make very noticeable difference in the end result.
@@Hermboldt yes sir that’s what happened in my case. I added more plants, watched my VPD, virus free generics that yield, CO2… I’m consistently hitting 3+ pounds
We said it 6 times and 3 where in the beginning part of the video were we advertise them. sorry that is to many times for you, but thank you for helping our algorithm with your comment.
What up scotty you are a guy I would like to hang out with get a buzz and talk about growing I know I could learn a lot from you actually already have thanks bro
The thing is; much of what Scotty said at the start is actually false. There are many years of research where several universities have determined the ideal ratio for Cannabis. Nitrogen is required in the same quantities throughout grow and flower with the caveats that secondary metabolites will be reduced if optimal N is received. P and K are actually required less in flower as well as Ca. Mg and S are required in slightly higher quantities. A bloom booster to me is something that enhances flowering. Products that contain free amino acids or polysaccharides like Chitosan are interesting as it's looking like they actually enhance the end product. Also, stay away from the humic and fulvic acids in flower as they steer the plants to produce chlorophyll rather than trichomes. You will have lovely massive plants that are not as potent.
What do the plants use? I've read that plants in general use a N - P - K ratio of 3 - 1 - 2. More nitrogen, less potassium and even less phosphorus. And phosphorus can build up in the soil eventually. I do organic so I've been looking at all the different ratios of different nutes and I see that quite a few are high on the P and not so much on the K. To me now that is just a waste. Something 4-9-2 is too heavy on the P and most of that P will not be used by the plant. So I've been using my homemade dried banana peel powder, 0-0-11, to bring up the K in the ratio into something useful. Seems to work great. And cheap. Costs nothing.
I always assumed the companies skimped on the P/K in the bloom mix in order to make customers buy another product in order to attain the recommended/ideal nutrient levels.
been growing for over 14 years never once used a bloom booster. the science isnt there. its like when the people that sold the 49ers all there gear made way more money than any gold miners.
Are use Gaia green if I see any problem I use advanced formula. But when it goes into flower, they sell a PK and it doesn’t take much flower fuel.❤ it will double the flower size, a little co2 will be needed
I prefer not putting high amounts of metals into my products for human consumption. I stear clear of canna hype buying and sticking with the basics mother nature has been using for millions of years.
I think this was from u, u can talk to a 100 growers and u will find 100 ways to grow weed, in the end I use what makes sense to me. Im in Germany, we use Dutch fertilizers often like HESI or BIOBIZZ but we got organic growers with living soil also, me personally i m mixing it up, actually i using Hesi_Bloom, Canna PK13/14, mollasis and some enzymes to convert the sugar from the molasses into sth. witch is plant available. Theres mycoriza in the Ground, so the sugar is used anyway. My Girls are at Day 25 of Flower right now, healthy, nice, no deficiencies. Feel so good to be legal, man
Oi oi scotty couple of funny little tails 🤣 from years gone by...we read in Ed rosanthal s book time ago about colchine a gout medicine and we got 2 polypliods up and they were a couple of really odd plants 1 bladed leafs and some unbelievable mutations would love to hear your take on that madness
I use Advanced Nutrients, bud candy is a carbohydrate. I'm not sure what effects of the bud candy are, I never ran a head to head comparisons. Ima do it to see. BUT I use the Overdrive and it works like magic. The buds start re exploding. I get excited when it's Overdrive time.
This is shiva plant Shiva is master of illussion and transformation When it's go wrong shiva just laugh Just imagine the bizness happy with your money 🎉😂❤
I use flower fuel but have learned in the years. Lower doses work much better but you have to keep track of when ya water. It can burn your plant easy. Now that I have grow dots and recharge……. It is going on the shelf. 😁
I'm easily able to remember the P in NPK by PhosPhorus having 2 (P)s 😊 I use Beastie Bloomz once in flower, sometimes. What I like about the PK booster is all the Micro nutrients included. Have a great Thursday 🤙🏼✌🏼
I Have used Advanced Nutrient's as well as Remo nutrients in the past and just recently switched to Grow Dots with recharge and by far the best results I have had is with grow Dots it works great EZ to understand and implement with no Hassel. love it!
Christ i can't lie. I actually have a really old jar of that bud candy...Its like 11 -12 yrs old..lol..Shows how much i used it..Junk. growing is getting to hard. Like a job now. I'm staying the course. Simple is better. I went from growing like a pro to destroying plants all the sudden. Constantly having deficiency or lock out from using the crap..lol..Now im back to just basic materials..Dont even get me started on Lights ..😂..Thats a whole other show . Christ just give me back my old blue purple Meizhi 600..lol..I still have every light I ever used..Now I use a Optic LED Slim 650. With dimmer knobs. Which has taken me years to get right..These things will burn a plant real fast if you got it wrong. Never burned plants using that old Meizhi..lol..lol..Hi Scotty.
Scotty learn something yesterday want see what u think. A guy works for big grow company was on a show and he said DLI is useless for inside growers unless their willing to take tons of par readings because every inch maybe couple hundred par difference in readings. He said when u go outside hold meter at top of your head then hold meter nearly on the ground there isn’t difference in par because the sun is so far away. So that’s why he saying in door DLI doesn’t matter if u only get reading at top of plant because say in bloom toward middle of that bloom plant pat will probably be half of what the top is
That bud candy does change the terps. I dont like it, everything tasted the same pretty much for some reason to me regardless of strain the couple runs i did with it
Lol I still use the General Hydroponics Flora line in Happy Frog soil. I'm old school I guess. Have been thinking about switching to something else though.
Off topic. I see videos of people's grows with 500-1000 watt LEDs in a 4×4 with the light 12-24 inches from the canopy and the nodes are about 4 inches apart. I'm starting early for outdoor in a 3×6 closet lined with aluminum foil. I have 2 Lowes boostgrow 105 watt and one 85 watt all full spectrum. From research i came up with i kept light 24 inches from plants. My nodes were 1/2 inch apart. Over time i moved the light to 48 inches above canopy and my nodes are 2 inches apart. Everything is green and looking good and about 3ft themselves above dirt. They would be monsters if all nodes were 3=4 inches apart. Why with cheap less powerful LEDs do i seem to get more light than these more powerful light set-ups? I thought i would have had to keep the lights right up to the plants to prevent too long of stretch between nodes. Not complaining, just dont understand. I wasn't thinking starting 16 that early, 6 barely fit now, and i get to get up early everyday to put the others outside and in at night if too chilly. They will be in ground next week. Usually i do 2 outside and have more than enough, even with sharing, till next harvest, starting the seeds in May. Gonna be a good year. Nutrient water in 6.3 ph and comes out 6.3. I tested nutrient levels in soil and everything is spot on.
I really dont like them either but flower fuel at very low dose as far as raw powder per gallon. I use a water bottle cap from a case of water. Works incredible. Only synthetic/organic nutes i like is the farmers pride line up. As scotty said no body got rich from a teaspoon per gallon lol
They will! Instead of mixing in from the top mix it in 1/2 way down then fill the pot up. Dots only need is moisture and thats enough. I've heard scotty say it himself several times and many other have reported to have no issues,if your still concerned every 2nd week or so turn the valve off and wait to dry out so your able to top water periodically. Best of luck to ya
Grow Dots work very well in any type of sip system, you want to fully incorporate the Grow Dots in the media and let it wick what the plant needs for water. you will still want to do a light top watering of recharge once a week still.
I try not to pay anything to grow. Most people throw enough food scrapes away they if composted they wouldn't need to buy anything. I do now buy the big boxes of over ripe bananas. Eat what we can, freeze some, and rest in worm bed.
i love my bloom booster when i feed with nutrients in the water hell ya liquid koolbloom all the way ...2 ml a gal works great.. week 4 the ripen is a perfect finisher with the sugar eeeeee.. love it... the powder one is two much the liquid one is my go two 0-10-10 the plant when its building mass needs a little bit more...
100 % right, wich is surprising, i would never had believe to see this when cliking on the crazy face thumbnail but finaly someone that makes sens. Plants only need CHONPS atoms, mostly from co2, water, sulfate and phosphore from the soil. Best nitrogen source comes froms bacteria/fungi but some mineral source can be realy good too. after strech, plants need more PK, less N, during all life, some metals froms spiruline or from minerals (iron sulfate, calcium chloride, etc... magnesium, copper and bore) Thats literrally all , everything else is hazardous or expensive, maybe fulvic acids, betaine/ glycine and silica can improve health of plants and maybe maybe co2 for certain big production, nothing more ! +
i have just switched all the way to molasses for microbe division and fish emulsion from lilly moore 5 0 0 and the same company for the moorebllom 0 10 10 so my overall is 5 10 10

With all that increase of course CO₂ in air and O2 in roots are needed to see difference which are other fundamentals of photosynthesis, never can leave 1 fundamental lower then other, and I know it's hard to keep up CO₂ levels in home grow enviroment unless going really expensive way, but actually getting few bags for 1m² or 3 for 2m² will produce enough to bring up levels higher, depending how your out take air works because it can bring it back too from outside of tent and leaving hot O2 into upper air which has slower intake fan into outdoors and letting CO₂ drops bottom where it's taken again into tent from side. I should draw picture how it works. And of course O2 can be added easily into water even with hand watering.
man I use the foxfarm trio mainly Beastie Bloomz. I just got a $100 large trio pack but I'm going to run one of my plants without to see.
When I first started growing, I bought most of the lineup of Advanced Nutrients. I did an experimental crop testing the various products. The plants that got everything (3 part, big bud, overdrive, bud candy, bud factor x, nirvana, b-52, bud ignitor, voodoo juice) were not much different from the plants I just gave the 3 part. Bud candy and bud factor x made no real difference in terms of yield, flavor or potency. B-52 is the biggest waste of money in the entire lineup. The ones I would recommend are the 3 part, big bud, and overdrive. The voodoo juice works well too. Bud ignitor is expensive but does alright and you don't use much of it so it lasts a long time. I'm pretty sure something like guano can replace the Nirvana. Moving forward, I plan to replace the AN lineup with cheaper alternatives.
New grower an I use AN. I've done only 3 plants and been quite happy. 2 pounds dry and its some of the best stuff I've hard.
I have thought half the additives are probably a waste of money.
I like that I don't need to mess with ph. Its $$$ but pretty hard to mess up.
Sounds like a sold plan, thank for sharing your experience!
We use P-K boosters at week 6-7 of an 8 week strain. It literally doubles the mass as opposed to not using them. We also use glucose not as sap booster but it does have that affect but to boost the microbes uplift. Both synthetic like Raw sweet and organic like Foop Sweetener and also Aphrodite’s extraction which is and organic ferment carbon. All make very noticeable difference in the end result.
Are you sure about that? I have literally seen no increase in yield by adding Bloom boosters. It all came down to my Genetics at the end of the day.
What are you using? Can’t just make a broad statement without information.
And how are you gonna question someone without seeing their results or using their processes?
Week 6-7 buds naturally gain mass during that time, I bet you could eliminate all of those expensive nutrients and still get the same result.
@@Hermboldt yes sir that’s what happened in my case. I added more plants, watched my VPD, virus free generics that yield, CO2… I’m consistently hitting 3+ pounds
Bro, can you count the amount of times that you two repeat the word "growdots".
It turns to be anoying when you spam it so often.
We said it 6 times and 3 where in the beginning part of the video were we advertise them. sorry that is to many times for you, but thank you for helping our algorithm with your comment.
@@ScottyReal420 I also watch your videos and like them when I like the content. Take it easy, that was just my point of view. Love🙂
@@ScottyReal420 Looks like Osmocote time release relabeled.
What up scotty you are a guy I would like to hang out with get a buzz and talk about growing I know I could learn a lot from you actually already have thanks bro
Hell Yeah, Come join us at the DGC Cup, and blaze with us!
The thing is; much of what Scotty said at the start is actually false. There are many years of research where several universities have determined the ideal ratio for Cannabis. Nitrogen is required in the same quantities throughout grow and flower with the caveats that secondary metabolites will be reduced if optimal N is received. P and K are actually required less in flower as well as Ca. Mg and S are required in slightly higher quantities.
A bloom booster to me is something that enhances flowering. Products that contain free amino acids or polysaccharides like Chitosan are interesting as it's looking like they actually enhance the end product.
Also, stay away from the humic and fulvic acids in flower as they steer the plants to produce chlorophyll rather than trichomes. You will have lovely massive plants that are not as potent.
How do you use grow dots in DWC
I use big bud and a few others I've had good luck
Ya I use big bug and overdrive. Good results
@@MustyBastardwould get the same results with cheaper inputs.
I like just compost and home made worm castings I'm cheap but i get results maybe some fish shit and kelp saves me a lot
keep it simple! That's what I like to do.
Monopotassium phosphate is a good bloom booster onbits own. A kilo is less than 3$ all it takes is half a gram per liter
Yes. It is easily accessible and cheap.... but NOT $3 cheap!!!
A 1kg bag is approx $16 on avg
What do the plants use? I've read that plants in general use a N - P - K ratio of 3 - 1 - 2.
More nitrogen, less potassium and even less phosphorus. And phosphorus can build up in the soil eventually. I do organic so I've been looking at all the different ratios of different nutes and I see that quite a few are high on the P and not so much on the K. To me now that is just a waste. Something 4-9-2 is too heavy on the P and most of that P will not be used by the plant.
So I've been using my homemade dried banana peel powder, 0-0-11, to bring up the K in the ratio into something useful. Seems to work great. And cheap. Costs nothing.
I always assumed the companies skimped on the P/K in the bloom mix in order to make customers buy another product in order to attain the recommended/ideal nutrient levels.
been growing for over 14 years never once used a bloom booster. the science isnt there. its like when the people that sold the 49ers all there gear made way more money than any gold miners.
Are use Gaia green if I see any problem I use advanced formula. But when it goes into flower, they sell a PK and it doesn’t take much flower fuel.❤ it will double the flower size, a little co2 will be needed
Thanks for sharing!
10+10+10 habe ich noch nie gehört.
P/K 13/14 plus super fit von HESi NPK blüh-complex das ist mein Grundstück.
I prefer not putting high amounts of metals into my products for human consumption.
I stear clear of canna hype buying and sticking with the basics mother nature has been using for millions of years.
I noticed that when I stared using Recharge, I started getting little mushrooms on top of the soil. Maybe that's a good thing.
it a sign of a nice healthy media.
Good to know. This is my first grow.
Need a n2006p power meter n panel
Scotty what do you think about adding lactic acid?
I think this was from u, u can talk to a 100 growers and u will find 100 ways to grow weed, in the end I use what makes sense to me. Im in Germany, we use Dutch fertilizers often like HESI or BIOBIZZ but we got organic growers with living soil also, me personally i m mixing it up, actually i using Hesi_Bloom, Canna PK13/14, mollasis and some enzymes to convert the sugar from the molasses into sth. witch is plant available. Theres mycoriza in the Ground, so the sugar is used anyway. My Girls are at Day 25 of Flower right now, healthy, nice, no deficiencies. Feel so good to be legal, man
Hell Yeah, Congratulations on going legal!
@@ScottyReal420 thank u man
Can you use grow dots in any other manner than mixed in medium
Back early 90's we used 10-60-10 super bloom and it worked great. No pH or balanced stuff
Flora flex is one of them and runs good
Oi oi scotty couple of funny little tails 🤣 from years gone by...we read in Ed rosanthal s book time ago about colchine a gout medicine and we got 2 polypliods up and they were a couple of really odd plants 1 bladed leafs and some unbelievable mutations would love to hear your take on that madness
I am trying to view the Canadian site but it is not working?
we are unable to sell to Canada due to the changes in the Fertilizer Act.
Do you still need to use cal-mag with grow dots?
I give NPK via organic stuff and I feed the microbes.. My main booster is molasses and compost tea.
It has been tried, you can find research on it, or even do side by side and test it for yourself.
I use Advanced Nutrients, bud candy is a carbohydrate. I'm not sure what effects of the bud candy are, I never ran a head to head comparisons. Ima do it to see.
BUT I use the Overdrive and it works like magic. The buds start re exploding. I get excited when it's Overdrive time.
They start “ re exploding” on their own at the stage regardless lol paying for water
This is shiva plant
Shiva is master of illussion and transformation
When it's go wrong shiva just laugh
Just imagine the bizness happy with your money 🎉😂❤
I use flower fuel but have learned in the years. Lower doses work much better but you have to keep track of when ya water. It can burn your plant easy. Now that I have grow dots and recharge……. It is going on the shelf. 😁
Sweet, let us know how it goes with the Grow Dots and Recharge!
Great stuff like always . Did someone tried one round with bloom booster and other without? And is there some difference ? 🤟
Sticking with keeping it simple 💪🏻💯👊🏻🧨💥🎉
💯
I'm using recharge and grow dots now. Have a 6lb bag of Grow Dots arriving any day now
Hell yeah let us know how it goes, share your grow at realgrowlab.com
@@ScottyReal420Well , got my 6 pound Grow Dots today and the total with delivery was $252 Canadian funds.
Arent the sugars in molases for the microbes in the SOIL?
yes
Bud candy also has all the L-amino acids in it
What to use... Going to be my first time...whats simple...
Greed ruins everything.
💯
I use a scorpian diablo X for bloom booster and I can't believe my eyes.
I just do extra part b bloom in mid flower
Promix and worm cast is the best for me…
🙌
I'm easily able to remember the P in NPK by PhosPhorus having 2 (P)s 😊 I use Beastie Bloomz once in flower, sometimes. What I like about the PK booster is all the Micro nutrients included. Have a great Thursday 🤙🏼✌🏼
You as well!
Duuuude, 100% science NPK for bx pheno sativa indica hybrid strains, fiiiire 💚
I Have used Advanced Nutrient's as well as Remo nutrients in the past and just recently switched to Grow Dots with recharge and by far the best results I have had is with grow Dots it works great EZ to understand and implement with no Hassel.
love it!
Good stuff, if you are interested in showing off your grow, join us at the realgrowlab.com
Can you use grow dots and recharge with coco / perlite /worm castings.
you sure can, just don't go over 5-10% worm castings or you can run into compactions issues that can cause root problems.
Christ i can't lie. I actually have a really old jar of that bud candy...Its like 11 -12 yrs old..lol..Shows how much i used it..Junk. growing is getting to hard. Like a job now. I'm staying the course. Simple is better. I went from growing like a pro to destroying plants all the sudden. Constantly having deficiency or lock out from using the crap..lol..Now im back to just basic materials..Dont even get me started on Lights ..😂..Thats a whole other show . Christ just give me back my old blue purple Meizhi 600..lol..I still have every light I ever used..Now I use a Optic LED Slim 650. With dimmer knobs. Which has taken me years to get right..These things will burn a plant real fast if you got it wrong. Never burned plants using that old Meizhi..lol..lol..Hi Scotty.
Hello, Thanks for sharing!
The recharge is the bomb. I made a special potion last night with my fox farm and vitamin b1 and it’s exploding bro!!
Nice, Glad to hear it!
Good show Scotty and hi c canna for me can't seem to get grow dots in Australia
we are working on expanding our sales to other countries!
Awsome Scotty hopefully in Australia soon what all your content wealth of knowledge bro.
Microbes consume sugars.
Microbes produce nitrogen.
JAcks 5-12-26, Cal Nit 15-0-0-19 and Epsom. Little MPK in weeks 1-2 of flower and does beautifully in coco. And its super cheap.
Jack's is a tried and true method that has been around for a long time.
Scotty learn something yesterday want see what u think. A guy works for big grow company was on a show and he said DLI is useless for inside growers unless their willing to take tons of par readings because every inch maybe couple hundred par difference in readings. He said when u go outside hold meter at top of your head then hold meter nearly on the ground there isn’t difference in par because the sun is so far away. So that’s why he saying in door DLI doesn’t matter if u only get reading at top of plant because say in bloom toward middle of that bloom plant pat will probably be half of what the top is
Who was "the guy" that works for the big grow company?
Sounds like the less even your canopy is, the less reiable DLI becomes.
I would love to know this guys name also, so I can do some research.
I just ordered recharge so I’ll try that and next grow I’ll try grow dots
Hell yeah, Let us know how it goes!
That bud candy does change the terps. I dont like it, everything tasted the same pretty much for some reason to me regardless of strain the couple runs i did with it
Lol I still use the General Hydroponics Flora line in Happy Frog soil. I'm old school I guess. Have been thinking about switching to something else though.
Experimenting with new fertilizers can be fun!
Your opinion on Winter Frost.........
It is a good product to use if you are trying to get different strains to finish around the same time.
Are grow dots suppose to dissolve? Ran em my last grow and after harvest I looked through my soil and noticed them still in the soil.
There will still be a casing left after the grow, if you squeeze one it will be hollow and crumble.
Off topic. I see videos of people's grows with 500-1000 watt LEDs in a 4×4 with the light 12-24 inches from the canopy and the nodes are about 4 inches apart. I'm starting early for outdoor in a 3×6 closet lined with aluminum foil. I have 2 Lowes boostgrow 105 watt and one 85 watt all full spectrum. From research i came up with i kept light 24 inches from plants. My nodes were 1/2 inch apart. Over time i moved the light to 48 inches above canopy and my nodes are 2 inches apart. Everything is green and looking good and about 3ft themselves above dirt. They would be monsters if all nodes were 3=4 inches apart. Why with cheap less powerful LEDs do i seem to get more light than these more powerful light set-ups? I thought i would have had to keep the lights right up to the plants to prevent too long of stretch between nodes. Not complaining, just dont understand. I wasn't thinking starting 16 that early, 6 barely fit now, and i get to get up early everyday to put the others outside and in at night if too chilly. They will be in ground next week. Usually i do 2 outside and have more than enough, even with sharing, till next harvest, starting the seeds in May. Gonna be a good year. Nutrient water in 6.3 ph and comes out 6.3. I tested nutrient levels in soil and everything is spot on.
not all lights are the same output and spectrum, those can change the lights effects on the plant.
Airy buds growing that far away 18-22 inches away is perfect
I really dont like them either but flower fuel at very low dose as far as raw powder per gallon. I use a water bottle cap from a case of water. Works incredible. Only synthetic/organic nutes i like is the farmers pride line up. As scotty said no body got rich from a teaspoon per gallon lol
well said.
@@ScottyReal420 my man scotty! You teach me something new everytime i listen in! Keep it up man. Love the content
Scotty show us a video on how to add Recharge to the Grow bucket system.
you want to do a light top watering with Recharge once a week, like you would with any other plant.
Will grow dots work with autopots? Doesn't seem like they would be effective since I'm not top watering
They will! Instead of mixing in from the top mix it in 1/2 way down then fill the pot up. Dots only need is moisture and thats enough. I've heard scotty say it himself several times and many other have reported to have no issues,if your still concerned every 2nd week or so turn the valve off and wait to dry out so your able to top water periodically. Best of luck to ya
Grow Dots work very well in any type of sip system, you want to fully incorporate the Grow Dots in the media and let it wick what the plant needs for water. you will still want to do a light top watering of recharge once a week still.
Yes ..tps bloom npk 0.4/5.0/3.0 but only from week 3 to 6 ..
I try not to pay anything to grow. Most people throw enough food scrapes away they if composted they wouldn't need to buy anything. I do now buy the big boxes of over ripe bananas. Eat what we can, freeze some, and rest in worm bed.
Would be so great to get GrowDots in Germany! Is there any possibility?
We are working on it!
@@ScottyReal420 Glad you do! Much love from Germany!
i love my bloom booster when i feed with nutrients in the water hell ya liquid koolbloom all the way ...2 ml a gal works great.. week 4 the ripen is a perfect finisher with the sugar eeeeee.. love it... the powder one is two much the liquid one is my go two 0-10-10 the plant when its building mass needs a little bit more...
100 % right,
wich is surprising, i would never had believe to see this when cliking on the crazy face thumbnail but finaly someone that makes sens.
Plants only need CHONPS atoms, mostly from co2, water, sulfate and phosphore from the soil. Best nitrogen source comes froms bacteria/fungi but some mineral source can be realy good too.
after strech, plants need more PK, less N, during all life, some metals froms spiruline or from minerals (iron sulfate, calcium chloride, etc... magnesium, copper and bore) Thats literrally all , everything else is hazardous or expensive, maybe fulvic acids, betaine/ glycine and silica can improve health of plants and maybe maybe co2 for certain big production, nothing more !

Sugar is for feeding microbes and all plants have microbes
So true!
i have just switched all the way to molasses for microbe division and fish emulsion from lilly moore 5 0 0 and the same company for the moorebllom 0 10 10 so my overall is 5 10 10
Do u need boosters or ok then or can u just feed a&b all way through
A & B all the way but flush last 2 weeks
