If you're the average Grower I don't see the benefits of floraflex. A 5 pound bag of the stuff is 80 bucks, times 4 parts. On a commercial level maybe. But they using a whole bag per 25 gallons. If you're going to need that much, why spend 360 bucks per run just to grow a plant you could grow with like a 50 dollar bottle of cheap nutrients, get the same results, and spend 1/7 of the price. People claim dry down time also a big reason. I am willing to bet that only has to do with the shape of their pots, low and wide will dry quicker than a tall and narrow pot. Nothing to do with nutrients. All about surface area. Unless you're growing in massive warehouse I don't see any benefit, unless you're using a teaspoon or something. The cost just doesn't make sense. There is no difference between cheap and expensive nutrients except the source of the nutrients. As far as I know, inorganic is far t cheaper to produce. So why they cost so much? Who knows. Plus they showing commercial grows as a comparison to their competition which is shown growing commercial and regular small grows. The other companies show the buds of average growers to show anyone can use it. Floraflex trying to compare a giant nug full of chemicals is so much better than a nug grown by a small grower. Well of course it will be bigger. More light, more nutrients, more veg time. The big grows control every variable, of course its going to be bigger. Big grows also grow thousands of the same strain each run and know each nuance of it. I would hope so, or you're doing something wrong. Sorry but I can't justify spending all this loot on trays, pots, lines, nutrients etc when you could buy a setup for probably half as much, or atleast cheaper than that. Once you buy their brand you're stuck using it. Why not build your own? Half their following is probably just there for the pictures of nugs anyways, I doubt most of them even have ever used it. The trichs on the buds shown, you could get using cheap crap nutrients or dry amendments. Maybe you get a little more size but small grow jt wouldn't make up the difference in cost. Not to me anyways. "but they are more soluble!" well maybe, unless you're using high dollar equipment then who cares. It takes a little more effort and maybe have to flush once or twice more per run. "but they more pH stable" other nutrients are also very stable and still doesn't justify the cost for small runs. You should be cleaning it out at the end of every run anyways. Cheap nutrients just as good. Just my opinion. You got yours, I got mine. I'll stick to my cheap shit and save a ton of money. I've seen people grow plants just as big if not bigger with far, far less. As they say, less is more.
