Is Fox Farm Bembe worth it

[turbobuzz]

I'm following the fox farm feeding schedule for soil and it calls for Bembe. Is that really worth the money compared to just using unsulphered molasses?

I dont think many of the nutes growers are buying is worth the price the companies are charging.

Especially the additives, they all seem absurdly priced and gimmicky lol

That's what I'm wondering. I think I'll use a little molasses and move on.

Im far from an expert on the subject, still very new to all of this myself, but from the reading and researching i have done, it seems many of the good growers are using the cheaper alternatives when it comes to additives wherever they can , i can only assume thats because they serve the same purpose as the expensive shit the companies are selling.

Im talking more in general terms and not specifically about the FF Bembe product, that stuff might be the best thing invented since toilet paper lol

Would love to hear from some of the smarter growers on this topic tho.

Cannabis specific nutes are overpriced and not needed. The same things can be had for pennies on the dollar. Look to what people have been using for decades to grow plants. Those same things are just fine for cannabis. When you buy cannabis specific nutrients and additives you pay for those fancy labels and cool sounding names. It's all marketing. Only stoners are foolish enough to spend $20 for a bottle that contains fifty cents worth of product diluted in water.

While I agree, I need 100 percent disolved nutes for my high pressure aero setup. Nice thing is that a+b I use is 20 bucks and lasts 2 harvests

Used to just use whatever when I was doing flood tables though.

Veg+bloom is a good clean dry nutrient that dissolves clean and clear good for aero setups. It's a one part start to finish.
