Gator got me thinking about switching to all powder nutes. I've been using Future Harvest which is an excellent line of products, but so many damn bottles and so much plastic! I've just looked at Reefertilizer and now I'm looking at Lotus nutes: any suggestions? Again: I grow hydroponically.

I have a question that has come up a few times. Years of testing, sure. All the right numbers, sure. 5-star reviews, sure. But what makes a product cannabis specific?
Articles I've read say different brands that have the same ingredients are basically the same thing. Store brand vs name brand, I guess.

I have no experience with hydro, but I think it could be done in a dwc, but maybe not in a rdwc, would it clog the circulation pump???Comment

I messed around with powdered additives. I tried an essential elements powder, different limes and found that they were not really great when using a tank to fertigate from. Lots of sediment accumulated in the bottom of the tank even with the best mixing possible so I reverted back to liquids.
It didn't cause any issues though I just didn't think it was a great idea given the sediment build up in the tank.Flower Room: 11' x 7' x 7.5'H, 480w AC, 13gal/day dehumidifier, 1.5gal ultrasonic humidifier, 60gal (27gal usable) nute tank, 16" pedestal fan & 18" wall fan. Lighting and climate automated. Hand watering.
Veg Cupboards: Two 4x2x6H cupboards. SF2000 Evo in one SF7000 in other. Climate controlled and automated. Hand watering
Aeroponics Low Pressure Bucket: 20W LED. 5 clones & 20W LED 11 clones
Lights: Mars Hydro FC-E1200W, SF-7000, SF-2000 evo in flower room.
Medium: Coco/perlite, 7.2gal pots, no drains
Current Grow: 5 x Photos Franklin's Orange Zkittles x Sour Diesel in flower room, 3 Franklin's White Widow x Sour Diesel Clones, 13 x Orange ZkittleZ x Sour Diesel clones in Aeroponics buckets x 2.

I stopped using silca a years ago. I needed in the RDWC until I got that dialed in. The first couple of grows the stems were hollow and the Silca and a few other things fixed tthe problem. To be honest I dont use it now because I forget to add it first. If you grow in water I think its important -
My stems are always hollow-ish. I looked it up online, and it looks like there's a lot of controversy about it: some say it's genetic, others say it's nute deficiency, others say it's more conducive to nute uptake. So it's worth more investigation.
Here's what Floraflex says: Pith: At the stem's core lies the pith, which, as the plant matures, often becomes hollow, reducing the overall weight while maintaining structural integrity
From ILGM forum: According to DJ Short and one other breeder I cant remember, hollow stem phenos are higher in THC than their non hollow counterparts.
Lots of sites say it leads to higher THC content: "Everyone says it will help a lot with potency because a hollow stem allows a way bigger intake of nutrients." https://www.rollitup.org/t/hollow-st...ijuana.823084/Last edited by alltatup; Today, 02:29 AM.
