Reccommended Additives other than the base 3 Cal-Mag
DadGrowsTomatoesstarted grow question 4 years ago
Would like to know if I should be adding any other nutrients than the cal-mag, flora micro, grow, and bloom. I see some post with several other additives. Growth is kind of slow.
Thank you!

The slow growth is due to your heavy defoliation of these little plants.
Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.
Giving a product with humic acid, fulvic acid or amino acids (or all three for best results!) will get your plants moving and like RunWithIt said, adding mychorrizae will really help and I will second what he recommended, "Mykos" by Xtreme Gardening is excellent! Have been using it for a while now and can't say I would ever grow again without it, the difference it made to my grow and without changing anything else, was noticeable to the "wow factor".
Hope this helps,...........

My two favorite additives for vigorous growth in soil plants are Xtreme Gardening's 'Mykos' and Real Grower's 'Recharge'. Adds microbiology to the soil that acts as a pH buffer and root enhancer. Mykos with every transplant, and Recharge every other week amongst a feeding. I've never experienced more vigor than when applying these alongside my normal nutrient schedule.

I would consider Diamond Nectar and Hydroguard. Diamond Nectar provides amino acids which help the plants take in more nutrients and grow faster. Hydroguard is just beneficial bacteria that protects your roots. Happy roots equals better growth.
Beyond that, any other additives you choose are based on your personal preference. Some are really great, others do nothing but increase your ppms.

Hey Growmie,
I would go with what you're using most of the additives that you see people using are more preference than anything, so what your using is just right, and exactly what the plant needs. Now the reason for the slow growth could be because of the training your doing, and they are also photoperiod plants which normally don't do the growing most of us are used to seeing until the flowering stage, so my advice would be to be patient my friend and remember ..." Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Neatly monitored dry and wet periods. PH dialed in. It still grows. Pheno 1 gets treated completely the same and does fine. Instability or damaged DNA? Any possibly to save?

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

Is my plant delayed in growth?Do you think the growth is slow for its age? It's going to its 7th week and it looks pretty small to me (I'm the gf) and this is my first grow and I'm not sure if we could have done something better to make it more bushier and bigger. Any advice?
