Medi-one anyone??

I have come across a nutrient called Medi one, and they say it's an all inclusive nutrient. Supposedly it is all you need from seed through Harvest. I found it on Amazon. It looks pretty good but I'm wondering has anyone else tried this? Currently I'm using the Botanicare line of nutrients, and if this is Medi one is really what they say it is, it would save me quite a bit of time as well as money.
 
Hi GP, My opinion: If we accept the traditional wisdom that you have to add certain nutes and/or boosters, increase some and decrease others at certain times, then one nute wouldn't be all inclusive. Also, when P&K need to go up, how could you lower N? Sounds too good to be true.
 
Good point alltatup. The directions have an increase in the medi one through the phases of flowering. But it is true that that although that might raise the P&K it does not lower the N.
 
This has sparked another question. Since the nitrogen has to be lowered how do people that are using those organic soils that require only water lower their nitrogen in the flowering stage? Or how do they increase the p and the k? I've been having an issue pretty much all along with my plants being weak and kind of spindly around the fourth or fifth week on in the flowering stage. I wonder if I don't have the right ratios. Even adding Bud swell the bat guano to my Botanicare Bloom line does not seem to make a difference.
 
you are using one of the best lines out there, its a bit expensive of course but it has over 20 years of R&D backing up their formulas and definitely the biggest and most advanced american hydroponics brand. even advanced nutrients was founded 4 years later than botanicare. i use botanicare too btw haha stay with tried and proven products in my opinion
 
9fingerleafs, do you follow exactly what is on the back of the bottles of Botanicare? I do but as I mentioned in an earlier post today, they seem to get kind of weak around the 3rd to 4th and on week of flowering. I always have this urge to beef up what I I give them but I don't know how to do that. So I've just stuck to what the containers say to do. I also add molasses and Bud swell and recharge. One of them that is in the 4th week of flower now, and had unfortunately been in veg in a 7 gallon cloth pot for about 6 months, is quite weak and spindly. The leaves are pale and some are yellowing. Anyway forgive me I know I'm way off topic here. Just wondering what your experience is with Botanicare in the flowering stage.

Greenpassion That is strange, because the buds should be growing strong by week 4. Do you have any pictures?

And I now swear by the Canadian company Future Harvest: they were fantastic to use on my last grow.
 
Grèen Planet?

trying to remember, I think one of the Ocean Grown guys, on YouTube, not Vader or medman1, uses it

if I remember or find it, will post back

Ive just always used Fox farms trio. I want to try several lines at once next grow on clones from the same plant. That way it will be indentical grows.

I would like to try 4 different nutrient lines and one with super soil. So we will see. When I can Ill post for everyone. Now what other lines. Hmmm Already have massive amounts of fox farms and they work like a champ. But you never move forward and learn if you stand still.
 
i actually use half the recommended dose for soil (10ml per gallon) and less than a quarter dose for coco (4ml per gallon) and i feed the same EC every time. i use the grow until the second week of flowering then the bloom until flush week, i use calmag (2ml per gallon) from seedling until flush week. all the high end nutrients are very ph stable, so you dont really need to adjust.
 
@fingerleafs what soil do you use? I'm using a soilless pro mix BX organic. And from what I just read about the amounts you use, I use way more than that. I've been following exactly what's on the bottles. Should I lessen everything? And once I move them into the 12/12 room I go immediately to the Botanicare Pro bloom nutrient. It's funny cuz if anything, I was thinking I needed to give them more not less.
 
im using fox farms soil that i bought 3 years ago and been using it non-stop so i guess between 8 and 10 full cycles, after the first year i started feeding every single watering so my soil behaves like hydro in the sense that has no nutrients whatsoever, still i only use half the dose. it kinda depends too on the temps and humidity; the more water the plant looses to the environment the less concentrated nutrients they need. when im growing with coco outdoors in the sun the plants need more water than the plants inside in soil. most likely you are wasting nutrients. maybe you dont have problems with toxicity but you could be using way less im sure.
 
what i mean by that is i feed the same dose all cycle, from seedlings till late flowering. EC is short for electro conductivity, the more salts and minerals in the water the better electricity goes tru it, so the way growers measure how concentrated nutrient solutions are is by measuring the EC. some water comes hard(high salt content) out of the tap so adding nutrients may result in a way too concentrated solution, which causes nutrient tip burn. some people think there are magic numbers/recipes for how much you should feed but every grow is different so dont let anybody tell you how much you should feed except your plants. i made a thread about this a while ago since this info is not on the main site if you wanna understand more https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum/growing-community/68078-very-important-to-everyone-ec-ppm
 
well I posted the question on Amazon about Medi one. I asked "If this is just one supplement all the way through then how do you raise the P&K and lower the N in the flowering stage?" And the answer I got was this. " you can add additional p and K supplements and the N is just fine the way that it is."... I guess that makes sense but then doesn't that fly in the face of not needing any other supplements except Medi one from seed to harvest?
 
LurkingInTheGrass, please do! Id really like to know an actual Growers experience using this. Not that the reviews on Amazon aren't from actual Growers, but I'd rather hear from members of this board about it.
 
Unless you can find someone you trust that has used and liked those nutrients Id go with with tried and true nutrients.

I cant remember how much space you have or Id say you can always give it a try on 1 or 2. But only if you can afford to test on a few plants while growing others with a tried and true nutrient.
 
Spidermite that's probably the way to go. I have two rooms one veg, and one flower. They're both good size rooms. And I have 7 plants in each room. I might order a gallon of this stuff, and try it on one of my younger clones.
