Hayduke Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I use it in veg if the plant needs a bit of a nitrogen boost... very good product in my mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chernobyl Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 i may have to try it out. says it helps plants take up nutrients better. its just i've also heard bogus outrageous claims such as it gives plants the same thing an added supplement blue spectrum would in flower. make me laugh when i heard that. it's pretty cheap and you dont use much so maybe i'll give her a whirl.

shishka Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I use it in veg if the plant needs a bit of a nitrogen boost... very good product in my mind... Umm, Hydroplex is 0-10-06. In other words 0% Nitrogen. Funny it works for you like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayduke Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 yeah that is odd. I leave the true chemical analysis to others like Zap. For me it boosts green foliage during veg. I am unaware of claims made in flowering, sorry.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression the first number is nitrogen... their advertising says it has: Dark Energy has an N-P-K of 2-0-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shishka Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Yep, my bad... reading too many threads at the same time and getting confused. Sorry to have sidetracked this thread.

chernobyl Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) yeah dark energy is a bloom booster. i dont think it's used in veg. no experience with it but a friend swears by it. but at the same time he could also just be trying to push sales. seems like anytime someone uses something new they swear it's the best thing. i have 3 different nutrient lines right now and they all work great. fox farm, botanicare, and earth juice(i dont have any EJ supplements though). i couldnt really say if i like any better than the others except i dont really care for fox farms tiger bloom. works great on some outdoor flowers though. last summer my dad got into my extra nutrients i brought home for my fruit and vegetable garden and watered some low maintained flowers outside with it, within a few days the things were twice as healthy looking. i actually use hydroplex every feeding in flower according to botanicare's nutrient chart with some tweaks. right now im using botanicare's full line. i've done hydro in the past with success and have been using it in soil for a while now. it's a bit strong though and i found i had to reduce to about half strength or more for most of my plants with supplements. my pure sativa and near pure sativas get almost nothing though or they burn easy. my friend has just been talking dark energy up like crazy. some of his claims just seem far fetched such as he said it will actually give your plant what a blue spectrum would in flower. i just don't see how that is possible. thanks everyone for the responses. looking forward to finding more info!
