Gold Leaf Nutrients

Ezzjaybruhstarted grow question 2 years ago
Anyone used gold leaf nutrients? It’s a 5-4-9 one part seed to harvest fertilizer. My buddies running it in hydro, just curious if anyone has used it? It’s supposed to hold the exact pH of whatever water you introduce the nutrients into. 🧐🧐🧐

I'd wager some pale leaves/less vigorous vege growth - OR - P/K toxicity at some point (i'd guess P before K), which p or k tox can lock out numerous other molecules. Depends on how it is instructed on label... but 5-4-9 on its own will fall in this spectrum and very likely have issues. it's not a good ratio for a seed-to-harvest formula. It's missing more than 1 trace element. it is ass-backward to pH-adjust water before you add something. If it is buffered, it is buffered "to" a pH value. 'buffered' means it has elements dissolved that make the ratio so large that when you add other things to it, it cannot change the pH much due to proportions involved. thus, pH-adjusting water before hand would be a total waste of time and uneccessary if actually buffered... ffs, that's what buffering means. lets say you got 1000 h3o+ : 1 oh- ... you add just a little bit and this ratio, or pH of 5, can quickly change. now, you have 100000000 : 100000 is still 1000:1 but if oyu add someting donating X protons (an acid) it would take a whole bunch to change the pH of 5. hydronium to hydroxide ratio is an easier way to describe pH. the ratio stays same, but numbers are very large relative to what acids or bases you might add to the solution. it is the natural/predictable outcome of H+ activity in a solution. solutes are in a solution.. not salts. this isn't 1950. None of this is directed at @ezzjaybruh . It just needs to be said in regard to this product. The item description on amazon is batshit crazy.

At 0 a gallon - I’d say it’s made with cannabis growers as the target consumer lol. Yeah I was just curious if anyone had used it.. I thought the same thing about N content, among other things but just wanted to hear if maybe someone had used it.

Never used it might give it a try. Gold Leaf US Distributors, LLC is now the exclusive distributor for Gold Leaf single step liquid fertilizer in the United States. Gold Leaf is a true, single-step liquid fertilizer that delivers essential plant nutrients to hydroponic and soil grown plants. Its innovative design eliminates the need for multiple products and dosing regimens, saving growers time, money, and water. It is the only product needed planting through harvest, it maintains pH balance throughout the grow; no need for pH up or down and it automatically dechlorinates tap water so there is no need for a dechlorinating process prior to planting. For hydroponic applications Gold Leaf does not need multiple dosing pumps because you do not need three different fertilizers and a pH adjusting acid/alkali. This innovative approach helps growers reduce initial capital outlay when setting up a hydroponic operation. It also means users/staff need far less training. The ratio of nutrients in Gold Leaf was matched to the ratio found in conventional ‘two part’ fertilizers and subsequently optimized based on the results from trials on numerous economic crops. The final concentration of essential nutrients far exceeds those found in conventional ‘two part’ fertilizers (NPK=5-4-9). ​For soil growers Gold Leaf offers ease of application as it can be applied directly to the plant. It can be used as a soil drench, compost drench and incorporated into standard irrigation regimens.

If the products marketing images do not contain the flowing IDK. 1) a man holding many trophies form a made up contest, 2) a white lab coat, "science" 3) a stethoscope, "cuz like, doctors are smart" I just don't know if I'd trust it. Has to have all three.

It's more for vegetable but weed likes the same as veggies. Only thing is it may be to high in nitrogen come flower time. I would switch to a bloom specific fertilizer for flower time, but still need some nitrogen for the first 4 to 5 weeks in flower. This ph part of it., the ph will still drift up if it the water wasn't sitting idle long enough for the ph drift to settle. My water starts at 6.3 and drifts up to 7 before it settles. Then when my nutrients are added and I ph the solution down to 6.2, it stays there.
