Thoughts on TPS Nutrients

So just before I found the ILGM forum I had
purchased a 10 pack of GDP


from another distributor for the upcoming summers outdoor grow and subsequently purchased the TPS line of nutrients off of Amazon for it. Then because I couldn’t help myself I also bought everything for indoor growing as well lol. (Apparently I have a compulsive shopping disorder) I’ve been reading a lot about the Jacks 321 nutes and for my first indoor grow I purchased the Bergmans line for a GSCE run. Throughout all of this forum reading I don’t believe I’ve seen any mention of this brand. Hope it’s an equivalent product line and can help me churn out an even better experience this season. Any thoughts?

@SilvaBack203 I don’t have any experience with them, but I believe @SilvaBack203 does

@Borderryan22 Thank you. I’ve read a bunch of his posts so it’ll be interesting to hear his thoughts.

Looks like a lot of work with so many components. I’d rather keep it simple with something like Jack’s.

@MidwestGuy I’ll admit I’m suffering a little ‘buyer’s remorse’ now that I’ve read and seen the BOM winners testimonials and pics lol. Seems Jacks is the way to go. The Bergmans doesn’t seem to provide enough veg food, I used my last bit this morning on my 4 GSCE Auto and we’re not in preflower yet.

Day 43
I’m not happy about having to substitute in something else to get me to flower, feels risky. But what can you do lol?? Smh

I switched to Jack’s from the FF Trio in the middle of a grow. It worked great and I’m a big Jack’s fan now. Easy to use and very effective.

Wow those are day 43? I’m on my 4th GSCE and every one has started to flower before 5 weeks. I have one at 26 days, still in a solo cup that is throwing pistils already. My second begun flower at 23 days. You’re going to have some absolute beasts!!!

@Borderryan22 They popped up outta the soil on Feb 27th and we struggled a bit with my first lighting attempt, I had so much stretch that 3-4 fell over and I had to prop them up with sticks. I’m sure it was my error, I probably should have put the light closer. Once I transferred them into the 7gal plastic pots with the led light that came with the tent they’ve steadily improved.

My back left and right ones seem close to preflower maybe?

Man you are doing great 4 your 1st indoor run. Im running tps one, with tps silica for my veg girls and tps one,tps silica, tps signal for flower and tps billions for my microbes… im loving this line up and my girls havent skipped a beat. My flowering girls are nice and frosty bulking up. They are in day 36 of flower… im also using the feeding chart…

I’ve read on numerous threads that seemingly quite a few people say they have seeds that were supposed to be auto or photo and ended up with the opposite. If I’m not showing signs of flower by now should I reduce my led from 18/6 to a 12/12 and flip them? My tent is 80” tall but with all the gear hanging up there if these are photo the stretch concerns me.

Your ladies have sign of pre flower i would keep it the same way… Do u know your current dli. Usually it takes 2 to 3 weeks of flup 2 flower

@SilvaBack203 Thank you! Nice to know these will get the job done! I’ll definitely need to follow the feeding charts provided. I’m new to growing my own smoke but have always enjoyed being a suburban yard warrior so to speak. I enjoy gardening/landscaping in general, I find it as a stress reliever to get lost in my plants and in a way brings out an artistic side of me with bed designs and whatnot. It’s wild to be in a virtual space such as this with so many people beginning similar journeys lol.

Thanks again for the reply!
