    Default Who's just using base nutes & nothing else?

    Am now on my 5th soil grow & things are good. I've stuck with the same genetics for the past 3 grows (serious white russian) so i can see as best i can what the plants need. I think ive got my room dialed in pretty well now as well as good environment is everything. I've just been using basic nutes - plant magic hard water grow & bloom with good results.

    Now, i know it's an age old question & there are all sorts of different opinions flying around but what do you think, should i start using some sort of booster like big bud or sumit ? Or, is it all just complete bollox & not needed at all. Who has tried with/without on the same strain, side by side or whatever, where is the hard evidence at ?

    thanks

    I only use base nutes as well but one thing I add is pk 13/14 only other booster I use and have used for many years
    Get great results and dont think another booster would really make a diff

    Hello mate, in all honesty I think they do little more than empty your wallet. On my first grow I used all the bells and whistles(nutes,bloom boost,liquid silicon, h202 and rhizotonic) I had nothing but trouble and harvested 6 ounces from 2 plants under a 250 watt lamp in nft. My last grow, I only used base nutes(vita-link grow and bloom) with a little rhizotonic at the start and a bit of buddy in mid to late bloom. I harvested around 15 ounces(413g) from 2 plants under a 400 watt lamp in coco. You honestly don't need them.

    cheers for piping in all. Looks like then that maybe just a little bit of something else might help things along a bit Although still, I wonder how your grows would turn out with just base nutes, nothing else at all..hmm.. ill give it a go though why not, maybe a bit of pk or something, i should have a fairly stable few grows now to compare & see if it's doing owt.
