That hydrodude again
Alright. After checking out some awesome growing with Remo Nutrients, I got my hands on them too. I desided to take some time to do my part in testing these and see how an fairly average grower will do with them in fairly average conditions with DWC. Previously I had good results with Advanced Nutrients and have gotten some 1.26 gpw grows with them, generally above 1 gpw, a performance what I would be expecting from these nutrients as well when under similar conditions.
My setup is as follows:
Grow space:
60cm x 120cm x 200cm (DxWxH) = 0,72 m2
Lights:
Grow Northern MS006 for vegetative grow (old leds, no rebels)
Grow Northern MS006 & 1x HS1 for generative grow (will be added later on the generative cycle)
Lightcycle: 20 / 4
Reservoir:
Old GHE aeroponic system tank modified to be just DWC tank. I use 2" trays and 9.6 lpm airpump with 4 airstones.
Nutrient line-up:
Remo Nutrients (Micro, Grow, Bloom, MagNifiCal, VeloKelp, AstroFlower & Nature's Candy
Advanced Nutrients Voodoo Juice (Beneficial bacteria product)
Advanced Nutrients Sensizyme (Enzymeproduct to help keep the roots clean)
Air movement:
Carbon filter and exaust fan (280m3/h)
Oscillating fan
I am growing 2x Dutch Passion's AutoWhiteWidow, they are at day 25 by now when I change to Remo Nutrients. I had gotten them started with AN Sensi Grow -nutrients with Voodoo Juice. So it is not a fresh start by any means but I still think that we can give a fair review at this stage of the growth cycle. Plants are young and doing well. It is partly genetics that keeps them short and partly because I have used little bit of LST on the bigger and stronger phenotype in order to control the developing canopy.
For now I am using only 4 of the 6 LED modules drawing total of 120w power. (180w is maximum this unit draws)
DAY 25

Remo Nutrients were applied today as follows: (for 21 litres of water)
Micro 30ml
Grow 30ml
MagNifiCal 15ml
VeloKelp 30ml
Nature's Candy 30ml
+AN Voodoo Juice 30ml
pH 6.0
EC 1.05
My initial impression on the nutrients as I first applied them:
+ I think these bottles are designed really good! They fit in hand nice, the opening is small and easy to pour (does not spill and make a mess!!! yeeeaaa!!!)
+ I also loved the smell of the nutrients, they smell good and pleasant and almost made me want to drink them. I don't know if would actually be a negative thing about nutrients since you absolutely should not do that. Sweet and tasty smell makes you think that is some real good stuff that you are putting out for your plants. I usually trust my nose. Velokelp smells almost like Canna Boost, by the way. I know it is a secret what goes into it but I suspect there is something very similar in that bottle right there.
+ Manufacturer advice on the dosage actually is pretty close on the EC/PPM that I would like to feed to my garden in DWC. I actually did separate tests on each bottle on how they do raise EC and calculated the wanted dosage based on that. I ended up reducing only about 33% of the total amount of nutrients from the recommended standard by manufacturer. That is huge difference to many other nutrient companies from what I have usually had to decrease them to about 50%. Therefore, I am sure the manufacturer's own recommedation actually works for some growers and mediums. I can appriciate that kind of honesty.
+ Right after applying all the nutrients, the pH settled at 6.0. I expect it is going to raise up by 0.2 after I pump air into it with airpump so initially the promises of stable pH holds true. I will monitor the situation each day and see how the pH will hold.
