potlosophy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 a long story short i was given a litre of each for free but im growing in soil/compost with a bit of perlite. iv never used it before either i know its meant for coco but my reckoning is to let them use the nutes in the soil up til they look hungry and then start off with the a+b slowly.iv got some canna flores for flowering should i stop with the a+b when flowering and switch or carry on with it? how are you supposed to mix it in what quantities?its just in pop bottles atm the lad that gave me it poured it out of 5ltr tubs and i didnt get chance to read it properly he said mix it two teaspoons of each and mix one in then the other meaning dont mix the concentrate a+b together before you mix with water. what are your thoughts?it was free and i think its worth a try has anyone else done this before? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheManAbove Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 id try it on a single plant first just to be sure...makes u wonder though why it was in the skip in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Could be a bad idea using coco nutes in soil. Use soil specific nutes with your coco/soil mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturesway Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 used it for years with soil! its spot on, i used it in conjunction with canna boost and pk 13/14, i achieved better results with canna a+b in soil than there actual bio nutes for soil.
