I wanted to give a review of my my experience with this line of nutrients. First let me say, I have zero affiliation with Dyna-Gro other than being a paying customer. I switched over to Dyna-Gro 3 months ago and after working out the initial kinks I can honestly say, short of a blatant misrepresentation of what's in their product, they've earned a customer for life. I've been growing for just shy of 2 years and I started out with the GH Flora series, first in Coco and then in DWC. I had great results with the Flora series but I was looking for something that would simplify the nutrient needs of my plants and make the process a little easier without burning a hole in my already empty pockets. My job demands a great deal of my time from May-October so I needed to find something that would cut back on my time in the grow room and allow me to just check pH and EC daily, leaving the training and maintenance to a once per week chore on my day off. At first glance Dyna-Gro fit the bill, it's a 2 part nutrient line, Grow and Bloom, with all the Micro nutrients included in each bottle.
Step 1. Off to their website I went to do some research...Dyna-Gro was off to a good start as they've done research and development to give qualified recommendations for using their products when cultivating cannabis. Now just like every other nutrient company they want want you to use all their products because that's how they make money. I'm trying to do this on a budget so..... what do I really need?
Step 2. I visited a number of other forums searching for others who use Dyna-Gro to cultivate cannabis. Sifting through the clutter that is the internet, I managed to find a number of growers that get great results with Dyna-Gro, and get this they all said if used properly, Dyna-Gro had a rock solid pH that rarely if ever needed adjustment. So I took the plunge, bought what I thought I needed, and put their recommendations into practice with a couple of modifications of my own. So this is what I bought:
Dyna-Gro Pro-teKt/$16.88
Dyna-Gro-Grow/$19.13
Dyna Gro-Bloom/$17.45
Dyna-Gro Mag-Pro/$16.39(Optional as a PK Boost)
All prices are from Amazon and based on 1 quart bottles. All in all, very comparable to GH's Flora Series if you supplement with Armor-Si,Cal-mag, and Liquid Kool Bloom as I did.
Over the last 3 months I've been very busy at work but with the simplicity and stability of Dyna-Gro's nutrient line I've been able to harvest some of my best buds to date with all while reducing the time I spend with my plants. I now spend 5 minutes a day checking pH and EC on my 3 DWC systems and my reservoir changes take 10 minutes each. I haven't made a pH adjustment in over 30 days, this is as close to "set it and forget it "as I can hope. I have come up with what I feel is a good feed schedule to use with Dyna-Gro line.
Veg:
5mls/Gal. ProteKt
5mls/Gal. Grow
Transistion: 2 weeks
6mls/Gal ProteKt
1ml/Gal Grow
3mls/Gal Bloom
1ml/Gal Mag-Pro
Early Bloom: 4 weeks total
6mls/Gal ProteKt
1ml/Gal Grow
5mls/Gal Bloom
PK Boost: Week 5 of Flower
6mls/Gal ProteKt
4mls/Gal Bloom
2mls/Gal Mag-Pro
Late Flower: Start Week 6 at
5mls/Gal ProteKt
5mls/Gal Bloom
Reduce ProTekt and Bloom by 1ml/Gal each week until harvest. This schedule is based on a 10 week flowering strain, longer flowering strains will require repeating the Early Flower formula before and after the Boost week in order to keep the leaves healthy enough throughout the flowering period.
I hope this helps anyone searching the web as I did.
