I found the Blue Lab PH pen to be a piece of shit.

Yes the Blue Labs are complete shit, everyone that i know who owns one ha returned theres for replacements. I traded in my blue lab for a pen and my PH is dipping as low as I thought it was, although it is still dipping a bit. I bought some cover for my res and now have them covered so hopefully that helps My plants look good there are only a couple leaves "taco shelling" but most look good. All the roots are white and no funky smell is coming from them, so I am a bit perplexed. I am going to flush and add the nutes tonight and monitor all night.

Durning Veg I was adding 2 ml per gallon so 200 ml. Nova is all I have been using but now that we've flipped em were gonna be adding new Nutes today.

[Fungus Nat]

so, you where in fact feeding 0.5 ml per litre throughout the whole veg cycle on plants that are 2.5 feet high?
That is not much...

Yeah. This is my first run so I am basically going by his instructions. I am researching as I go and reading as much as I can, I want to learn so I can recognize mistakes and know what I need to add and at what levels.

[Fungus Nat]

Well, you have a good starting point on the bottle of flora nova.

But, as a rule of thumb, you should be more closer to 1.5 ml per litre at this stage in your plants life...

And don t forget, mix half and half flora nova grow and flora nova bloom for the first two to 3 weeks of bloom, depending on your genetics.

Flora nova grow? what's that? o_O

[Fungus Nat]

you have got to be kidding....

[Lundin]

flyer is the guy who invented lucas formula so no grow bottles needed lol

[memyselfandi]

I bow to flyer!

I am a proud lucas formula user!

[Fungus Nat]

he he he
to each his own.

But just so i understand, you grow plants in vegetative state for 3 weeks to a month with only the bloom formula?

[plantbuilder]

Haha, I was just poking fun Fungus, we luv ya!

Yes, and yes.

For Nova, I use only bloom in the production of marijuana, my tomatoes are something entirely different. Personally, I'll be switching over entirely to Maxibloom. It's alot cheaper and I need to save so I can buy things like Titanium...

[Fungus Nat]

He He.
Cool, i will try it again.
I just feel like it lacks structure and weight when i don t use the grow properly, especially on big plants that need alot of veging time and manipulation.
BUt no scientific data to back it up, i just go by feeling.

Thanks for reminding me PB.

I have a mother on fed on bloom.

I will be switching ( i have a box of a beta program from ghe ) to floraduo

[Fungus Nat]

A mother is somewhat of a different thing to me than an actively fast growing plant being topped and LST d on her way to being flowered. When speak with Chill or previously PEPE from GH, they always tell me how proud they are of their Flora NOva grow and how The bloom is great but lacks in a few departments...

I am not saying that it does not work, obviously all you fine folks have had tremendous results with that formula and a near cult following, but from my observation, it is not as good as the full spectrum offered by balancing both products.

Can<t wait to ear some more about your results with flora duo... They have had this recipe for a long time and it might become popular in it<s american version.

peace

just to understand a bit of ghe and gh

they were different companies with same marketing and old friends.

they are trying to merge it, a 3 part component that allow the farmer to adapt the nutrients to the crops was an amazing discovery, fortunately they didn't trade mark it so... every one could use a 3 part formula, this was an "european" discovery.

After a few years of research the guys from the "states" were able to make a stable one bottle solution it's and amazing achievement.

after a few "talks" floranova was introduced in europe against all odd it is a success.

Pride is a good time some times so "europe" launched the new flora series floraduo.



I don't like hollow stems and tall plants, don't have much space flora bloom keeps the internodes shorter and i don't get hollow stems, mother are under fluor.

but this is my reality, works for me in my conditions


I have grow at home but never seen any advantages.

[Fungus Nat]

cool, thanks for the knowledge Memyselfandi.
You are basically answering what i was trying to say.
It is very situational and to advocate it s use for everyone without regards to specific situations is just not something i could do.

But i am very open minded and willing to try some more. i am going to grow two clones of the same strain next to each other one with the fn grow and one with the fn bloom to see how it works for me.
