Dinafem Dinafem's 2019 Solo Cup Challenge

[RivetGrrl]

I was looking into great white, but holy crap is that expensive. Its over whelming all the extras that you can buy and how pricy they are. I just don't know what ones are really worth it and what ones are hype.. So far I've tried optic foliar, jakes vitamin B6-12 supplements(or maybe it was 1-6),potassium silicate, green planet root builder, Molasses, AN big bud, AN final flush and the list go on.... Really I am not sure any one of them did a damn thing.
I think the most noteworthy of them all has been the Molasses, and it's by far the cheapest.

I think a lot of it might be because i'm a new grower and I am not at that level yet to utilize these products to their full potential. Great white has been on my radar to try next, but with your suggestion I think I might look more towards the Myco-grow. I've recently switched soil from sunshine mix to promix hp. Would adding more mycorrhiza be of benefit to the soil do you think ?

All that stuff I mentioned, gets brewed together into one tea. I hardly use much for each batch so it is pennies compared to purchasing a product. Plus it seems in Canada we can't get most of the things others on here use so I found stuff that I can sub in.

I know the tea works because I see my roots explode with it (DWC) and it destroyed the pythium.

I use B vitamin for stress but probably don't need to.

Second on humic and fulvic acid, I use those at all stages of growth as well.

With all this, you should also be able to feed less as you can see below, the roots become much more efficient at taking up nutrients.

Here is the tea on healthy roots

Here are new roots coming out of the pythium crap, this was awhile back

Thanks for that. I thought it was just light soil. Im glad i saw this before i bought. I can get by, but im not a master by any means. And im not sure i wanna be in control of every aspect. [emoji27]

I use promix hp and its not all that hard. I feed straight h20 until day 10, then start nutes off very light, and build from there. I will say, when I made the switch, my plants started getting a lot bigger. Prior to that, I was in roots organic 707 and made it work...but the plants stayed small because its a bit hot.

As an indoor grower, you are in charge of every aspect of the plants growth except what is determined by its genetics. It really is a large responsibility. I truly feel bad for a plant when I fail it. It is very rewarding when I succeed. Sometimes I just get really stoned and I go talk to them for a while and I try to listen to what they have to say.

Honestly I can't imagine a better way for Dinafem to produce a quality product. Send out a ton of free seeds for people to do in a Solo cup. Nothing is really lost if they don't work out. I really don't think this comp is just about the "hype". The amount of data they are able to collect this way is invaluable and will only lead to a better product. Tell me what other seed company have you seen make an effort to compile so much data on their products. I think you would be pretty surprised how many bad seed co's are putting out bad product that we don't know about simply because the data isn't all compiled into a single source. The in house testing can only provided a limited amount of info on how it grows in their environment.

So when I sit back and look at the over all picture, I believe Dinafem is doing exactly what I would want as a customer and is setting a higher standard. Really I think everyone win's here, the company and the customer.

Right people now that I'm back let me try to sort this mess out

Firstly- The seeds that we sent out would have been exactly the same as we would sell at retail. No 2nd grade seeds or anything like that, we wouldn't do that in no way shape or form.

Secondly- When a grow is done on a mass scale like this we will get the occasional issue which we have planned for.

If you have had a germination issue and used all 3 seeds up that we sent then please drop me a pm and we will get a fresh pack sent out no issue +

Thirdly- I did around 80-100 request prior to going on vacation so if your seeds have still not landed. Drop me a message now that I'm back and I'll issue a resend, simple!

It's nice to see so many grows started and as far as I know we maybe missing 1 or 2 members that have not received there seeds

Some members are getting 3 for 3 up other a are struggling, as I said this is expected and I will gladly replace if needed

Let's try get this back on track as it was intended on bring a bit of community fun and to bring the community together not rip it apart

I'm back now and I'm sure we can sort any issues out

All the best

Thanks Mark, you are swamped after vacation and you even found time to drop into the journals and slap some rep.

I wish people would just take a deep breath and be patient, but in this world maybe we are being trained too much for the instant gratification.

Anyway, this is for you
