they are real close. i ordered some botanicare pure blend pro bloom 1..5-4-5. jsut 1 quart gonna use it on my C99 this is way better than the bloom im using and its 100% organic so no heavy metals and other junk. I know it will improve my bloom size. Man this stuff isnt cheap lol.

Its week 6 day 5 and everything has been coming along very nicely. I noticed some differences between the two. At around week 5 the GH plants we a lot more yellow compared to the KIND line and the KIND line was showing some Calcium deficiency. The GH plants bottom fan leaves yellowed and dropped four times as many leaves as the KIND line, and the KIND line leaves dropped some and showed a potassium deficiency. I added 2ml/gallon more or micro to the GH line and have not done anything for the KIND line. Everything is looking good though, just these small deficiencies. The 2nd is the KIND nug and the 3rd pic is the GH nug

Its the last week of nutrients here in week 7. I am just got my CO2 set up and I am using it for the last week at 1000ppm, not sure how much it will help but I am doing it anyways.

Here is what I am feeding them for the last week. The PPMS for KIND really dropped. The GH is also supposed to drop but when I mixed up what it says to put in, it still comes out with 900+ppms

So it is the last day of feedings and next I will start my flush. I am going to do a clear ex feeding 3 times then chop them down. The General Hydro crops top fan leaves a very yellow and I dont know why that would be, does anyone know? Sounds like a nitrogen deficiency but the plant doesnt really use N at the end I thought. Any comments would be appreciated.
I use gh flora series too and my fan leaves get yellow as well really late into flowering. I want to say its normal but I honestly don't know the facts behind it lol so I'm not going to say it.
interested to see what your final numbers are between the 2 lines tho. scribed to seeeee. they all look amazing too btw

So I harvested and they are drying! They are looking good. A couple more days and ill know the results. The yellow ones are the GH and the greener ones are the KIND. I am hoping for a gram a watt, we shall see!

Very nice, uniform grow. Mad props to this side by side. To clarify, an earlier poster stated that the"Kind" series is organic. This is not true. Botanicare's Pro series is, indeed, mostly organic....but the "Kind" series is more synthetic. Either way, I'm impressed with the results. I've run their Pro series for 8 or 9 years now and I'd really love to see a side by side of the Pro vs. the Kind. Regardless, nicely done and looking forward to feedback on the cured results. jcom
