Yeah, switched to jacks not too long ago once @AgTonik mentioned the cheap humic in mega crop.
Not quite as easy as you got going, but not too much trouble.
Edited because I was wrong on the type

I’m out of likes today or I’d throw you yet another one.
I’m going to nitpick on the science for just a second. Megacrop contains humic acid which is long-chain, needs to be broken down to be available, and precipitates at low pH levels. It is only suitable for long-term soil building. Fulvic acid is short chain, immediately soluble and is available at ALL pH levels. It is suitable for drench, foliar and hydroponics. I only use fulvic start to finish and kelp just at flip for biostimulants. Just thought I would clarify a minor point.

I switched back to gh

I used GH my first couple grows and liked it a lot. Since then i’ve been using Dyna-Gro’s line up. I think you could get great results with just 1 bottle, their Foliage Pro, in a lot of situations. Coupled with AGT-50 I’m really happy and they are getting really stinky. I don’t know if it is just the genetics but the buds i’m growing with dyna-gro vs what I grew with GH is crazy. I definitely notice the benefit of their silicate product too. I have never had the honor of trying Power Si or anything but I know Pro-TeKt is way fuckin cheaper lol. AGT-50 definitely seems to be doing something too. They are praying much more often

Thanks for the kind words about AGT-50.
I used to mix my nutes from scratch, but $0.08/gallon isn’t too much to sneeze at with Jack’s hydro or Masterblend, cal nit, AGT-50 and potassium silicate. I recently had some monosilicic made that raised the price to $0.10/gallon, but the pH is much more stable and I am willing to pay for convenience in my old age.

This is for my personal business, not my day job at AgTonik. It was a private formulator and we already had a falling out. It’s awesome liquid, but it’s half the potency I requested and he put them in pints instead of gallons.

Cool you had some made. Mine came out with too much particulate from the dioxide I used left over. Maybe I needed to filter it finer but it was unusable, and I wasn’t 100% on the concentration.

I’m gonna have to cave in an buy a small bottle of power si to try out.
Seems as far as a retail product, it’s pricey, but compared to other things I’ve see that look cheaper, power si end up being cheaper per gallon.

I keep seeing everyone swear by this soluble silica, I have to try it.
It seems like that and agt-50 are two additives that are worth it.

100% love them both

I’ve been testing stout and it works excellent. I’m trying to get my hands on grow genius next. I believe @Pattypan01 has been running a sample.

@Greenleafpro I got a sample from grow genius a few weeks ago. I’ve been running it against some osa28. I’ve split one of my rooms feed tanks in 2 and have been testing side by side. Both sides are looking pretty similar so far but it’s pretty early 3 wk in flower. I don’t notice a diff between them as yet. So I’d say the GG is winning so far based on cost because performance is equal currently.
@Curious_Roberto I’ll say the agt50 from @AgTonik is one of the best fulvic additives you can buy vs fulpower or dry powders I was using. My plants respond better to agt50 to the point where I was able to reduce my nute input by 20% due to nute burn. Nothing changed but agt50 that round. Save me around 15% on total nute cost per round.

I’ve been using agt-50 for the past year. Def can see the difference.
I’ve ditched all other additives after using it, just Jack’s 123 and agt-50. When things are dialed in and I’m not being a lazy ass, just those two give me great results.
It seems like the monosilicic acid will take me to that next level hopefully.

You and me running the same shit. Jacks 321, agt50 and silica.
