Hi everyone,

Was hoping one of you wise gents could help me.

I started my current grow 4 weeks ago using Canna nutes in coco, decided i'm going to switch all my nutes to the Dutch masters range, will it hurt the plants to switch the nutes this far in?

Also if i'm using Superbud, what other boost should I use during flowering? as this obviously only gets used for 2 weeks max.


Cheers guys

Hi

It should be ok to switch nuits mid way, iv'e done it before with no probs.If you want to make sure you can give them a flush through with ph adjusted water beforehand.

As to the Superbud, dunno , never had any need to use it.

Anyone used the Dutch masters Hot coco?

Here's the description from the website:

Dutch Master Hot Coco nutrients have been formulated & Ionically balanced for use with coir based systems.
Coconut coir, although an excellent hydroponic medium, has it’s own unique set of properties which need to be catered for if you are to extract the maximum benefit from this media.

Coir has a very strong cation exchange ability; what this means is the medium can hold and release nutrients or elements depending on (a) the plants needs, and (cool.gif the prevailing conditions in the medium itself. This cation exchange is not detrimental to plant growth, in fact in most instances it works to the plants benefit.

Coir does tend to hold calcium a little more than the other elements as well as releasing extra potassium. This can upset the delicate ionic balance which is needed to maintain optimal nutrient availability. Dutch Master Hot Coco has had its ionic balance altered with added chelated calcium, to ensure the ease of release of this element back into the mediums nutrient pool, as well as a little less potassium in it’s formulation to take into account the extra potassium given off by this medium. By doing this, the coir actually completes the ion balancing ensuring maximum uptake of nutrients by your plants.
