What's your formula for success?

When it comes to growing we all have our own little niche. Some guy’s are bean hoarders, others might be tech savvy and want the most par per watt avil. I’m a nute guy myself and enjoy researching products out there. To see what they might offer that others don’t and if they’re at a price point that justifies the benefits. So was hoping to hear everyone’s feed back on what they rock n why.

I use growmore as my base, mostly bc the price point and there micro and bloom are very complete. Also liquid is so much easier to measure out it’s worth the extra $ vs powder for me. The mix ratio max i use is 6ml and the mag/cal is high enough never needed anything extra. Hula bloom (0 N 4 end of flower) and Hawaiian bud (beginning-mid flower) are also in my arsenal. I use maxicrop seaweed extract to sub out the grow bc of added seaweed and high k. With both vitazyme and aurora infinity i’ve been able to cut out 8 other additives. Vitazyme has plant hormones, b vitamins, enzymes and infinity has carbs, silica, amino acids, humic acid. I’ve had the same thing of subculture forever. I use bud factor x as a bud finisher bc of chitosan.

So what’s your formula?

i prefer dry nutrient salts as otherwise i feel you are paying for water and someone to mix them for you. have been running maxibloom this grow (all stages) and nothing else. well, i did use a sample bottle of mammoth P w/ it. and i switched to megacrop for a while until my sample bag ran out. sometimes i’ll add molasses or epsom salts.

next grow will be all megacrop and nothing else. it’s currently $55 for a 22 pound bag or something ridiculous, $0.034 a gallon mixed, and it’s formulated specifically for cannabis and contains everything it needs

this was my first grow with this equipment so i want to KISS - once i max out my potential with the equipment i have i may consider switching nutrients but i don’t think i’ll need anything other than megacrop. maybe mammoth P.

Since the topic was not specific to nutes, I’m choosing not to limit my response to same;

My secret to success is holistic; I’m a firm believer in weakest link gardening.

Environment, including temperature, humidity, day length, and co2 content.

Lighting, including spectrum, heat gain, UV supplementation and intensity.

Nutrients including basics, additives, pH, EC, substrate quality.

Genetics including strain, phenotype, desired results.

Training including trimming and shaping to maximise light utilisation, space and inputs.

Keep on top of all that and you can’t help but get great results!

Any deficiencies in any of these areas will impact results and no amount of compensating will suffice.

Mine is to treat it like my garden plants.
I was organic before it was a “thing”.
Follow the teaching of my father and his father. bring the earth to life, then plant your seeds.
I can’t wait to be able to grow out doors!
If you do it right you only have to till once if at all.
Feed the soil.

was doing some research on the brewers yeast and says gave a lot of benefits to the soil if doing organic if you brew beer is not a bad idea to exhaust the gases into a tent if you have it and increase the co2… and i saw that some industries use the residue on the tanks and some of the active yeast after use ot to blenden w water and use it as a fertilizer in the industrial grows
