James! Thanks for writing, your comment has inspired me to write a post on our entire feed program tomorrow. And we will post about Dry Kool Bloom. I’ll have someone on our sales team write to you about your question, too! Cheers, Thanks!

I am writing to say how much I like GH products. Every product I have tried has worked as promised. From the beginner to the expert GH has the product for you.From Nutrients to Hydroponic Unit’s and everything in between. I am excited by the new organic Bio line. I want to switch to organic growing and GH is a name I can trust. I hope to win one of the Bio sample packs.

I would like some feed back on the flora nova series. I have been using them for about a month and have noticed I need to drastically reduce the amounts of nutrients I use. I have been putting about a quarter of the amount it calls for on the chart. Feel free to email me any feed back at jqman815@hotmail.com

After using many hydroponics nutrients from all manufacturers, I keep coming back to GH. We grow blueberry plants, from clones… we have 7 different cultivars, and 231 plants in the ground.
Last year I cloned 141 of the 7 different cultivars, and lost 2. I just tried to purchase a product that I used for these new starts (sweet leaf and Carboload) and it seems that the suppliers are dropping the products… sooooo I bought some FloraNectar…after reading of it, and it seems to have the same NPK numbers and other items in Sweet Leaf. BUTTTT i cannot seem to find a replacement for the carboload I used. We are wanting to take 141 more cuttings off of our Bluberry plants this year, along w/ 141 Azaleas for a living fence/dust collector from the dirt road we live on . HA HA
Can anyone help me?

OOPS…forgot to mention of the watering regime i do before taking the cuttings, thus the carboload floraNectar feeding for 5 days prior ot taking the cuttings

You should totally try BioRoot! That’s our new organic rooting solution. You will love it. FloraNectar, which you are already using, is our comparable carb product. Sweet Leaf and Carboload together seems redundant to us. I’d say BioRoot and Nectar will make your plants very happy.

I must admit, the CarboLoad and SweetLeaf worked fine, and it did take me 3.5 – 4 months to get these blueberry slips to root, and the same goes for the Azaleas from what I have read. We are doing a total of 282 plants, and waiting 4 months on this project – to make it happen, hopefully all will be fine – I do get antsy on undtried items
But I put in the time and effort to see where it leads with your product.

gday tigerlily:
Does GH get into formulas for growing veggies which are also perenntials. I just started 28 more pepper plants *jalepenos* in a ebb n flow system, using the seedling formula and had planned on switching out to FloraMato in about 4 weeks. I used Floramato on the Last tray of 28 Jalepenos and stuffed them all !! The Poppers are GREAT ! but a bit on the small side, not quite sure why yet, but working on it. Grew in our heated glasshouse this winter. Any help w/ a plant spacific formula for growing of peppers, tomatos, melons – would be a great help

WITH:
nutrient system flora series,
system type recirculating prog.
level expert and
feeding schedule aggressive..
” DRY Kool Bloom” is not listed ……. Am I missing something because even when the schedule is normal the General Hydro product Kool Bloom “DRY” is not there… Thanks and please send an e-mail to sigmachiuta@hotmail.com
