Summary of nutrient companies products and their benefits.
Overall breakdown of Assorted nutrient/additive companies and there products, as well as, a breakdown/explanation of their uses and benefits.

____________ Modern Plant Nutrition ______________________________________

Over the last ten years, hydroponic plant science has moved away from
the simple addition of bare bones nutrients to a sterile root zone. It is now
understood that there are more factors to plant nutrition than essential
macro and micronutrients.

Modern plant nutrition has three main areas of concentration

1. Basic plant nutrition: Newer nutrients are now chelated, using
agents such as fulvic and amino acids to make the uptake of micronutrients
and other charged molecules much easier and more accessible to the plant.

2. Providing hormones and metabolic enhancers: There are a variety of
nutrient additives and foliar sprays whose essential function is to speed
the plant up, making the plant work faster and harder, have more energy,
and ultimately produce more…

3. Root zone health: The importance of healthy roots can not be overstated.
There has been alot of research in this area… [/list:u]

____________ Plant Growth Hormones ______________________________________

Natural plant growth regulators (or plant hormones) are gibberellic acid,
ethylene gas, abscisic acid (ABA), 4 auxins, and several cytokinins, which
all have their own specific effects on growth and development in plants.
The main advancement that has been made which is useful in hydroponics
is with cytokins. Most cytokin research has been concentrated in figuring
out the appropriate and most elevated amount that can be delivered to the
plant without any harmful side effects.

There is a wide range of products now available that are made of
ascophylum nodosum, the north Alaskan sea kelp form which most
cytokins etc. are derived from.

Growth Max – A seaweed extract made for foliar feeding plants.
An excellent and inexpensive way to give your plants an extra boost.

Nitrozime – very popular- growers swear by the results – Nitrozime
provides cytokinins to help control and regulate germination, root development,
nutrition uptake, plant tissue composition, flowering, seed and fruit set.

B’cuzz – Atami’s line of stimulators are formulated from a combination
of two kinds of seawwed, Laminaria digitata and Ascophyllum nodosum.
These solutions help plants handle stress – 3 formulas, one for rooting,
one for growth and one for bloom.

Liquid Karma – If you are looking for just one thing to add to nutrient
regimen, Liquid Karma is the one.It is good for every stage of growth and
will definately increase branching points, fruit and flower sets and overall
yield by as much as 30% . Liquid Karma Chelates micronutrients through
amino and fulvic acids, and shuttles them into plant cells, increasing metabolic
rates and conserves plant energy. Full of B-vitamins and other stress relieving
components w/ large amount of cytokyns derived from ascophylum nodosum
north atlantic sea kelp.

SuperNova – SuperNova contains high concentrations of cytokines extracted from Ascophyllum Nodosum.
Cytokines increase cell division, which promotes vigorous plant and root growth. SuperNova also
contains growth precursors, vitamins, and amino acids. Super Nova is made by general hydroponics
to work with Dark Energy.[/list:u]

____________ Humic and Fulvic Acids ______________________________________

The primary benefit of both humic and fulvic acids is improved plant growth.
There are three types of humates: humic acids, fulvic acids and humin.
Only humic and fulvic acids currently play a role in hydroponics. For those eco-concious
growers out there, there are no known detrimental side effects from using humic acids.

Humic Acid

Humic acids change the turbidity of the cell and in effect swell the cell up
with more water, creating an osmotic imbalance and promoting the uptake
of nutrient salts. An added bonus is seen in root cells when micoryzae are
looking for their much needed first contact – because the cell is more
swelled up it is easier for the microzyzzae to attach. Humic acids contain
fulvic acid, so if you use humic you only need 50% of fulvic acid recommended.

Fossil Fuel – FossilFuel employs high-quality humic acids to help plants
resist environmental stresses, to improve the plants ability to absorb
nutrients and water, and stimulates plant growth through increased cell
division. It is HIGHLY ABSORBABLE, which is not true of most humates.

Rare Earth – A rich blend of silicon, humates and 72 rare minerals.
Blend with rooting media, topsoil, or add directly to nutrient solution to
develop a protective silicon shield. Allows for stronger development and
heavier fruit.

Diamond Black – Blended with rooting media, Diamond Black will slowly
break down adding Humates to the root environment. This is a pure mined
material and meets all organic standards for crop production. Humates
released into the plant’s environment regulate the flow and enhance the
transport of plant nutrients.[/list:u]

Fulvic Acid

A long with its chelating properties, fulvic acid is also a key factor in the
Kreb cycle, the plant’s respiratory and metabolism system. Providing this
molecule reserves a plant’s key energy reserves. A recent study showed
that plants treated with fulvic acid experienced a 36% increase in produce
weight at harvest, a 36.5% increase plant growth, and they flowered on
average four days ahead of the control plants. Studies indicate the use of
humates in hydroponics results in bigger plants and bigger veggies and
quicker harvests.

Pure Fulvic Acid – A great deal on pure fulvic acid. These acids are small
active organic molecules and are excellent chelators which penetrate
through plant surfaces and roots. The results are healthier and stronger
plants, decreased water stress and improved soil moisture and structure.

Diamond Nectar – Diamond Nectar is a Fulvic Acid extract from a
combination of unique Leonardite sources providing the highest availability
and diversity of these bioactive pant compounds. The General Hydroponics
research team has assayed over 300 different Leonardite sources around the
world to create a proprietary, pH balanced, fulvic acid with maximum
agronomic benefits.

Liquid Karma – Liquid Karma Chelates micronutrients through
amino and fulvic acids, and shuttles them into plant cells, increasing
metabolic rates and conserves plant energy. Full of B-vitamins and other
stress relieving components w/ large amount of cytokyns derived from
ascophylum nodosum north atlantic sea kelp.

Grandma Enggy’s Fulvic Acid – Advanced Nutrients [/list:u]

____________ Enzymes _____________________________________________

Along with the major plant hormone research, enzymes have become the
recent focus of much attention. Smaller yet amazingly powerful; enzymes
have a variety of important benefits for the hydro grower.
There are many different enzymes that all have different functions.
The hydroponic growing community is just beginning to get a hold on
what they all do.

There are two types of enzymes that we are most concerned with. There
are those that accelerate sugar/resin production and work to create flavor
and aroma. There are others that break down dying and dead plant
proteins into their component parts. These amino acids, lipids and smaller
molecules which can be reabsorbed by the plant.

Banana Manna contains concentrated organic extracts of banana, mango,
guava and other exotic tropical plants rich in hormones and vitamins
known to increase essential oil production in plants. It makes the harvest
sweeter…

Cannazyme Cannazym is a high-quality enzyme product. It consists of
more than 15 different kinds of enzymes to which vitamins and extracts
of desert plants are added. Cannazym speeds up the process of breaking
down dead root material and activates the micro-organisms. In addition to
this, Cannazym facilitates the improved absorption of nutrients and
increases the resistance against pathogenic organisms.

Hygrozyme. Hygrozyme Enzymatic formula prevents the formation of
pythium and algae, speeds up degradation of dead organic matters and
facilitates chemical nutrient assimilation. It will create healthy white root
growth in your plants. It will not harm beneficial microbes… my favorite.

SensiZym is a super concentrate of over 80 different enzymes, each
having specific functions that enhance plant and root growth. Part of the
Advanced Nutrients line. Great for soil or hydroponics. [/list:u]

Bud and bloom boosters

Phosphorous and potassium are the two macro nutrients directly involved
in fruit/flower formation, structure and overall taste, potency an aroma.
A lot of research has been done on these important nutrients. Feeding
curves have been generated, allowing growers to apply a more exact diet to
their fruiting flowering plants throughout the bloom phase.

Ionic Boost– Ionic Boost is a nutrient supplement designed to be used in the
final few weeks before harvest. Boost allows the grower easy control of
the extra Phosphorous and Potassium that can lead to bumper yields.
Boost is an ideal addition to Ionic nutrient solutions but can also be used
very effectively with any good quality nutrient solution of the Bloom variety.

Monster Bloom – An azure colored product from Grotek erives its strength
from super phosphates and buffers that deliver enhanced harvest results
never achieved before. Blessed with this blue powder, plants Increase OIL
production! And produce Extra Large Buds!

Kool Bloom – Designed for use in the second half of reproductive development,
this concentrated nutrient supplement increases the production of essential
oils and fragrance in flowers.

CANNA PK 13-14 – contributes to improved bloom and fructification.
Unlike other blooming aids, Canna PK13-14 works rapidly and is becomes
immediately available to the plant, because it requires a very small
amount of absorption energy. This allows the plant to fully focus on blooming.

Advanced Nutrients Big Bud – is Big Bud’s plant specific ratios of Phosphorous, Potassium,
Magnesium and Amino Acids. Big Bud will dramatically increase bud growth,
width, weight and resin production like no other bloom enhancing product can.

Advanced Nutrients Over Drive – Overdrive is an ultra premium flower booster
with an extremely extensive and very complex array of phosphorus and
potassium sources. Hormones and catalytic agents are added in order to
pack on extra girth and weight that produce unparalleled flower and oil
production during the critical last weeks of flowering when plants show
the most sizeable gains. [/list:u]

Silicates

Silicate helps strengthen plant tissue helping plants flourish in adverse environmental
conditions, such as heat, drought, and frost. For use in container gardens or soilless
hydrogardening applications.

Pro Silicate – Pro-Silicate toughens the cell walls of your plant to form a
physical barrier against insects and disease. A building block for plant
cells, silicone increases resistance to mildews, fungus and insect attacks,
where the stronger cell walls counter predatory probings.
Pro Silicate, protects your plants from wilting and droughts by acting as
an insulation against water loss through transpiration at higher temperatures.
Plants can grow at higher temperatures. Will also help increase flower count
and prolong bloom life.

Silica Blast – Silicate is a beneficial nutrient supplement to be used in
conjunction with standard nutrient program. Silica Blast was designed by
American Agritech to be used specifially with their Botanicare Line of
products.[/list:u]

Phospholipid technology

Phospholipid agents, are an extremely powerful group of activators &
transporters of Humatic Isolates. The Phospholipid technologies developed
by Dutch Master can be tailored to suit a wide range of Humatic Isolates
as well as directing those isolates to activate specific subsystems of plant
growth, development or physiology. Phospholipids create membranes in
channel so that larger molecules can quickly enter a cell.

Dutch Master Folitech Folitech Grow and Flower are two unique foliar
sprays designed to enhance your plants ability to support and produce
larger numbers of flowers than would normally be possible. Folitech is a
two stage product with a vegetative and a flowering formulation which
are designed to be used at the appropriate stage of the plants development.[/list:u]

____________ How to use reservoir additives in your nutrient solution. _____________

When using additives, it would be ideal to clean the reservoir every week.
This is the way to keep your plants growing super strong, and to really
keep things healthy and clean. If you are going to change your reservoir
about once a week, use the following method.

First add the appropriate additives in the correct dosage.
Add nutrients bringing the nutrient level to the desired level.
pH balance the reservoir
Throughout the week, when you fill up the reservoir, just add only nutrient’s..no additives, pH.
Don’t add additives again until you clean and refill the reservoir
Follow this to end when you use a flushing agent.
Change nutrients in reservoir every 7-10 days…

or, 10 days to 2 weeks

First add the appropriate additives in the correct dosage.
Add nutrients bringing the nutrient level to the desired level.
ph balance the reservoir
Throughout the week, when you fill up the reservoir, use only ph’d RO/distilled water…or, tap, if you got it.
At the end of one week, use 1/2 strength nutes.
Follow this to end when you use a flushing agent. [/list:u]

Ionic – Ionic is a nice, one part nutrient that has a separate
formula for vegetative growth and one for bloom growth. We recommend
this nutrient because it is so simple to use. Ionic is great used with any of
the additives listed above. [/list:u]

For best results we highly recommend using at least Liquid Karma.

If you are growing any kind of plant that requires budding, fruit or flowering,
you should use the superphosphate Ionic Boost in the end of your cycle,
about two weeks before harvest.

For best results, keep the pH of your nutrient solution between 5.8 – 6.2

Botanicare Pure Blend Pro

Botanicare Pure Blend Pro is an organic nutrient with 10-15% pure mineral
content. It contains absorbable forms of iron, calcium and phosphorous.
The phosphorous comes from pure rock phosphate.

PureBlend is a one-part nutrient with a vegetative and a bloom
formula.The line includes a calcium magnesium micronutrient Boost called
Cal-Mag Plus which is to be used at the end of the vegetative period and
throughout bloom. It helps to prevent micronutrient deficiencies and lockout.

Liquid Karma was made to be used with this line, as well as Silica Blast
and HydroGuard, a bacterial innoculant and fungicide. We also recommend
using one of the enzymatic formulas listed above. [/list:u]

For those who are concerned about large flowers and fruits, we recommend using
Pure Blend Pro Bloom for soil. It is a superphosphate and will work well with
hydro plants needing that extra boost to finish. Or alternatively use big bud,
monster bloom etc. or, use banana manna for resin sugar building.

Clearex, Flora kleen, final Phase are great flushing agents all work in hydroponics.

PLEASE NOTE: Many hydro growers have begun noticing a problem with
the feeding chart/directions on the PureBlend Pro bottles. If you follow
their directions you will find that the strenght of your solution is way too
high. It is best to monitor the PPM in your solution. Find out what your
plant needs & keep your solution at that level, or maybe just a little
higher. … If you don’t have a way of monitoring your solution, we HIGHLY
recommend getting a meter — but if you want to try without it, just use a
little less than the directions call for (this is generally good advice anyway)

For best results, keep the pH of your nutrient solution between 5.8-6.2

____________ Advanced Nutrients ___________________________

Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom
Advanced Nutrients are some of the best nutrients on the hydroponic
market as well as some of the most complicated –there are many
additives and it can be slightly overwhelming to manage at first.

Generally they suggest you use only RO water and keep a ph of 5.6 until
about 4 weeks before harvesting. (look this up) . Here is a link to the
Advanced Nutrients Calculator:
http://www.advancednutrients.com/hydroponics/calc/
to help you figure out what nutrients you would need.

What makes the nutes themselves special is that the micro nutrients are
individually chelated with their appropriate micronutrients (as opposed to
CANNA which does batch chelation) Nutrients come from premium mineral
sources and they are added in a+b format.

Always add (before you add nutrients)

SensiZym:[/b] enzymatic formula – breaks down decomposing plant proteins
B-52[/b] ascophylum nodosum b-1 vitamin mix
Piranha benefical fungus
Tarantula benefical bacteria (25 more)
Voodoo juice primary benefical bacteria (5 strains)
Silica
Fulvic acid
Final Phase, flushing agent for use at the end of the cycle – removes built up salts, etc.
Bud Blood to speed up transition from veg to bloom
Big Bud to provide large fruit set (3-4 weeks) – extreme high in potassium
Overdrive – has high amount of potassium & phosphorous which promotes more sugar, resin, taste and
aroma. Helps to finish the fruit.

Can still use Banana Manna – resin and flavor enhancer.
Great for any kind of product in which flavor/ fruit is desireable.

Canna Aqua Vega & Flores

Canna Aqua Vega & Flores is a premium two-part nutrients from Holland.
CANNA has a unique line of nutrients – all the micronutrients are batch
chelated using a blend of humic fulvic and amino acids, this provides a
greater micronutrient absorption. They are also extremely ph balanced.

The following additives which we would recommend. This line is excellent
with ultra healthy plants yielding large and super tasty fruits.

CANNA PK 13-14 – add only in weeks 3 & 4 of bloom.
Rhizotonic – best for beginning stages of growth
Cannazyme – to be used throughout the life cycle of the plants
you can also use a superphosphate for finishing such as Big Bud,
Overdrive, monster bloom, etc.(last 2 weeks, before flush)…& Liquid Karma

Latewood’s Legacy: GH 3-part and CalMag tutorial and discussion

After experimenting for 2 years with Advanced Nutrients/additives…
Botanicare Pure blend Pro/additives…and GH3-part/additives.
I fond this formula works and yields the best; And leaves the roots healthy throughout grow. Goodluck

This should answer a lot of question’s you newb’s have, and It should save you some money in the longrun.

Since a lot of you get caught up in the Lucas Method. I found this to yield more. However if you have space limitations, just remove the Grow from the formula for smaller plants/yield

START>>>Here is a higher yielding alternative to cut and dried lucas method…
Use grow part in veg 1-1-1 and create high yield bushes=less plants=less trouble, same yield overall.
In flower…use squewed 3-part
.25-1-2 for 1st 4 weeks
weeks 4/5 revert to lucas 0-1-2. Cutting the nitrogen back.
High yield philosphy…Grow bigger, but less…

From 35 gallon rez I dip a 5g bucket and add nutes. I have a turkey baster syringe that sucks up exactly 40 ml if you fill it, So that works perfectly.

5 gallon formula…convert as necessary…

Starting with reverse-osmosis water

Values:
1=8ml,
8ml per gallon
5g=40ml

Veg 1-1-1 = 40-40-40

Flower .25-1-2 = 10-40-80

Finish 0-1-2 = 0-40-80

---

Veg:40-40-40

add calmag+/3-5ml per gallon **ph5.8 water for topoff’s in between nute
change… I do not use calmag in nute change solution.
So. I am doing what you are doing except I don’t use carboload, I use
Liquid Karma/or Seablast/ or some type of Vit-b and sparingly (this stuff
cause all kinds of foliage. (Especially under-foliage and I find the too much
under growth can causes airflow, and pest problems)

Use LK/Vit-b as I do Calmag+ for topoffs’s in between nute change.
Alternate topoff solutions each cycle; switching out LiquidKarma for
Calmag+ every other week in between your weekly nute change
(every 7-10 days).

Example: 3-part, topoff CM+, nute change 3-part, topoff LK, nute change
3-part, topoff CM+…etc, etc. hope this makes sense.

---

Flower stage:
Start off with all 3 parts
same value=8ml x’s 5 G’s=40ml=1 part

Campared to lucas 0-1-2/0-40-80 for flower…
Use .25-1-2/15-40-80 per 5 gallons. You get more mass using the nitrogen at this stage.

It is safe to say this is close to the Advanced Nutrients values, but I simplifiied the recipe by going to GH/lucas values
Actually, they are General Hydroponincs values…right off the bottle. tweak as you need.

In week *4/5 flower. I switch to 0-40-80, and continue alternating
CM+/LK topoff process. I topoff at least every other day.
this is PK boost time for 8 week finish, I just use clean 0-40-80 until PK
transition. so for 9-12 week finish you would hold off on PK/Overdrive,
whatever…
Use Overdrive, or high pk formula for a week or 2 prior to final flush.

Flush w/Florakleen.

*week 4/5 of flower. drop ph to 5.4 to make PK nutes more available to
plants. increase the ph each week .1… i.e. wk4-ph5.4, wk5 ph5.5, wk6
ph5.6, wk7 ph5.7, wk 8 5.8 finish…Again; If you require longer finishing
time, You hold off on this ph transition.

**most of the time, calmag+/LK will buffer the water’s ph and you don’t have to adjust.[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
