My Cyco nutrients review

So some background on me, my grandfather grew for the longest time. He then brought my dad in, taught him everything he knew and eventually when I became of age I was brought in. Ive been growing indoors, outdoors, hoop house and green house for 24 years.

For the longest time we used Canna nutes. But I would always switch it up a bit. Not because of Canna's price but because I wanted to break out of the routine. Growing at a large scale isn't as exciting as many think. It is true hard work that rewards the skilled and patient.

Whenever I would switch lines I would buy every single bottled additive the manufacturer offered. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair to judge.

So here's a disclaimer, I hate talking about nutes with other growers. I'd rather talk about religion, gay rights and edward snowden. So if your results are different than mine, then kudos to you. Seriously, kudos. But just imagine how much better it would be with a better line?

As commercial growing goes, no one is going to change the game. One plant per bulb in a big ass pot. And there's usually only 3 or 4 nute lines that can be used. If your banging out 200 pounds every three months you dont have time to wonder whats wrong with your leaf. You flush her out, test run off, flush again if you have to and feed half strength. Again, no one will ever change the game. None of you will and neither will I. So lets get that out of the way. All the large commercial growers I know are using H&G, Canna, Cyco or a true living soil. These are the best lines to use to avoid oh shit moments. With H&G and canna you will have to piggy back with a silica bottle and cal mag bottle. They also produce heavy salts, so a flushing agent is recommended at least once a week or whenever your run off tests high.

I was allowed to experiment in our smaller room. 30 1k hps bulbs and co2. Plants were in coco (20% perlite) and drowned in 1500ppm co2. The ladies were in 20 gallon pots.

First one I tried was House and Garden, compared to canna I lost yield. Enough for me to go back to Canna.

Then I tried xtreme and that was just a terrible nute line. I'd rather pee in my pots. Went back to Canna.

Homboldt gave me super low yields and a crazy amount of deficiencies. How they get away with calling themselves a complete line is beyond me.

FoxFarm was awesome. Super low yields but the flowers smelled amazing and tasted so good. Canna never smelled this good ever! Sadly, open sesame, cha ching and beastie bloomz couldn't build large flowers like canna's boost. And this isnt for my head stash, I'm a commercial grower and the balance between outstanding quality with great yield needs to be there.

Advanced nutrients, heh advanced my ass..... Flowers smelled ok, they tasted ok, yields were ok and deficiencies were plenty. I got what I payed for I guess.

Eventually I tried cyco. First things first, their 20 liter bottle spout thingies suck ass. I prefer Canna's and house and gardens. Any who, this thing has a million freaking bottles and there's some pro's and cons to this. Pro, with this many bottles getting a deficiency is a bit harder. Con, mix it right or you will hit a lock up.

So as soon as I finished my cyco grow, I yielded higher than canna. By a very very large margin. The buds were not as big as canna's though. I definitely didn't get baseball bat sized nugs. But I still yielded higher with buds that were not going to ruin bag appeal. The flowers were super sparkly, like one of those twilight vampires and the smell rivaled fox farm.

Last year around the summer I started using their new supa stiky additive. I got a bunch of grows using it under my belt now. Wow, buds are as big as Canna's. Maybe even slightly bigger. The taste is incredible and the smell was just stronger than fox farms. And that's saying a lot! Seriously, foxfarm nugs smell outstanding.

In short and to summarize, I have tried just about every nute line out there (there's a few I didn't mention) and for my needs and in my environments (especially outdoors) cyco is far superior than Canna and the rest. It's also a bit cheaper than canna too, so that's a plus if your strapped for cash. I challenge you to give it a try.

My family's commercial grow no longer deals with anything except cyco's line. I don't like their coco though. I prefer H&G's coco but whatever.

If you guys have any cyco questions please let me know?

PS cyco can lock up very easily. I recommend you add their silica first. after its mixed well and your ppms are stable add your B. After thats mixed well add your A. then add everything else in any order you want. Just make sure it mixes well before adding the next pitcher. Also, don't add calmag one of the bottles has it already. You will hit toxicity. oh and if your on well water, find out which bottle has the calmag in it (i honestly forgot) and try it at 50% and gradually raise it, just in case your water's trace amount is a bit too high.

PPS added some pics of my ladies, theyre in 3 weeks of flower here I think. The one in the 18 gallon blue pot hit week 8 and a half and that pic was taken before I started flushing her.

So with Cyco nutrients what your average lb per plant?
and are you on the payroll of cyco or receive any benefits for anybody?

Ayyy, thread's dead, homie.
Also, that's impossible to really answer, and wouldn't mean anything to anyone unless you exactly replicate their system/strain.
Do you want to know if it works well, or what?

We recently added cyc Grow and Dr Repair to our basic line up and our plants have a bad after taste and are getting brown spots. This is our 6th grow and first sign of this

Threads dead.
Drop your pH to 6.0 and stop using Dr. Repair.
pH is your problem.
Dr repair is a waste of money
