What Is Inside the DaKine 420 Advanced Growers Kit
Eight powders make up this kit, and the weights tell you how the programme is meant to run. Base and Bloom arrive at 2,000 grams each, because those two carry the bulk of the feed. Shock and Awe is 1,000 grams, while CalMag and Grow are 500 grams apiece. Atomic Root Powder, Sticky Icky and Foliar Science come in at 100 grams each. That is 6.3 kilograms of dry material in total. The kit makes 600 gallons of plant-ready feed once everything is diluted. The analyses start with Base at 3-13-26 and Bloom at 8-14-28. Grow is 15-0-15, Shock and Awe Bloom Boost is 6-42-12, CalMag is 12-2-12 and Foliar Science is 29-9-9. Sticky Icky is an enzyme blend and carries no guaranteed analysis. Powder concentrates are the reason a carton this size covers that many gallons. Shipping water is what makes a liquid programme heavy, and there is none of it here.
Running a 600 Gallon Nutrient Kit Without Guesswork
A 600 gallon nutrient kit is a season of feed for a small room and a month for a large one. Working out which it is for your room is the first job, and the arithmetic is simple. Divide 600 by your reservoir size, then divide again by how often you dump and refill. A fifty gallon reservoir changed weekly works out at twelve weeks of feed, near enough a full cycle. The second job is the feed chart, which comes separately as a free download. Powders need that chart more than liquids do, because a scoop is not a measurement. Weigh each powder on a gram scale rather than trusting a spoon. Dissolve one product at a time in warm water before it meets the next. Calcium and phosphate will lock out and drop as a white sludge if they go in together. That is why CalMag is a separate bag rather than blended into Base. Store the bags sealed and dry, since powder that cakes will not dissolve evenly later. A kit like this rewards a logbook: reservoir size, grams added, and EC and pH at mix, every time.
Key Features
- Eight powders in one carton: Base, Bloom, Shock and Awe, CalMag, Grow, Atomic Root Powder, Sticky Icky and Foliar Science.
- 6.3 kg of dry material: Two kilograms each of Base and Bloom carry most of that weight.
- Rated at 600 gallons: Finished, plant-ready feed from this kit.
- Analyses: Base 3-13-26, Bloom 8-14-28, Grow 15-0-15, Shock and Awe 6-42-12, CalMag 12-2-12, Foliar Science 29-9-9.
- Sticky Icky is an enzyme blend: It carries no guaranteed analysis, unlike the mineral products in the kit.
- Weigh rather than scoop: A gram scale is the difference between a repeatable mix and a guess.
- Dissolve one product at a time: Calcium and phosphate drop out as a white sludge if they meet undiluted.
- Feed chart is a separate download: It is free rather than printed on the bags.
