For the first time, I'm using Dyna-Gro (Grow, Bloom, Pro-Tect). The strain is Jack Herer. And I'm getting good results in vegging a SCROG screen.

Should I use some additional additives during flowering with the Dyna-Gro?

Thanks.

JackRyan420 how are you doing, take a look at Jmansweed's Nute Study. He does a test with your ferts. Just pick one of the boosters that he likes best.

I would just do what he did. He used the same stuff as you have . I think you already have a bloom booster. Try what you have first and see how you like it.

The stand out product here was Protekt. I continue to add it to early vegetative plants even today. This is a potassium strong silicon solution. Silicon literally makes plants stronger by thickening cell walls within the plant. This helps in fighting unwanted fungal spore penetration and even helps deter plant sucking insects. It produces strong, thick skinned plants resistant to environmental stress. The extra potassium is also helpful, encouraging root development and chlorophyll production. With susceptible plants to pest and disease this addition is recommended. In later flowering this product helped in typical ways, increasing bud size and promoting carbohydrate relocation.

I really cannot imagine using 10 additives, nor can I imagine that it can make a serious difference in yield. I really don't understand adding cal and then mag and then cal-mag--the first 3 on the list. I personally have never seen any benefits from using Bud Blood, Spray-n-Grow, or Superthrive. Other than the cal-mag, does anyone really know what these products really are and how they are supposed to help?

Hygrozyme works wonders in a hydroponic environment!

I agree, why cal and mag then cal-mag.. that's nuts. I've used Bloombastic since day one, and have nothing to gauge it against, but at week 4 I start and it seems to always start to really "shine" with trichs a couple days after I feed with it. I suppose you can just blame that on it being week 4 and really packing on.

I can see growing without it, but I hate to think of doing one without it.. so... I purchase the expensive shiza. lol

Well JackRyan420, I hope that helped you.

I have used the calmag and hygrozyme in my grows and found that in certain applications such as the specialized organic grows, the cal/mag isn't needed as it is given through the pH buffering sweet lime. However, in many of the soilless or hydro grows, lime isn't used for buffering and there is nothing to give the calcium or magnesium in these mediums other than the nutes that are fed to the plants. In these nutes, the calcium and magnesium are given in small amounts if at all because of the issue of heavy chemical precipitation in the mixes. Therefore, it has been my experience that the cal/mag additive is needed in these mediums. Its addition need is varied with the nute brand used and the type off medium used, but it is needed more often than not.

I also found that the Hygrozyme was an excellent addition and very worth the price for either organic or synthetic grows. I found that the plants seemed to use the nutrients supplied more efficiently, and the left-over salts or other unused chems that would otherwise cause the potential for toxicity in the medium, were locked up by the hygrozyme and prevented from causing any issues other than leaving behind a little sludge in my tanks at the end of the grow. I think it is even more beneficial in organic grows as it provides the enzymes that are produced by beneficial bacteria which could be weak in some organic grows where the individual may have made mistakes that killed off some or most of the microbe herd.
I am hardly an authority on this subject but I speak from my personal experience and the experience of my peeps here who have explained their use of these products

I've used hygrozyme in organic growing with good results, along with Liquid Karma and succanat sugar. I'm not sure if using these additives invalidated the "organic" nature of my grow, but I followed a growing program that is kinda popular over at RollItUp. And I got some very dank Herijuana out of that grow, so I guess it's a good program.

As I told PJ in a PM a few minutes ago, my recent dabbling with soilless growing has about convinced me to go back to organic growing. I'm getting good results in vegging with GH (3-part) and Dyna-Gro (3-part), but nothing like the explosive growth rate I got from my favorite Super Soil recipe. As soon as I transplanted young plants into Super Soil, their growth rate really took off.

If you are getting better results from growing organic than you are hydro.....well I'm thinking that something much be out of whack with your hydro set-up. A dialed in hydro system will always kick butt when compared to an organic grow.

So NorCalHal does a soil less organic grow that will match anything. Flat out.
