Who’s using Botanicare nutes?

 

[Skoal]

I use them. I use the calmag, flower and veg nutes.

 

[PurpleGlurple]

Botanicare is a staple in many peoples grows. Not the whole line though. Just CalMag (especially for CoCo) and I use Liquid Karma to keep the plants stronger against bugs & disease. Works great! I used to use silica blast but I stopped after I found a cheaper source

How is liquid karma working out for you? I was thinking about using it as a supplement with my flora trio during flowering or maybe earlier. From what I gather it helps multiple aspects of quality improve like potential for smell or color etc and helps nutrient distribution, wondering if you or anyone else has experienced such improvements. (Doing hydro)

Anyone wanna throw in if they feel 35 bucks a quart is worthwhile? Also what's the shelf life?

I used it for a couple runs years ago. It worked fine just like any other nute when used properly. I found it to be extremely overpriced and switched to dry nutes at 1/10th the price and ended up having the best grow I'd had in my life up to that time. I have never gone back to bottled nutes and am still using the same dry nutes with great success every grow.

Liquid Karma is just kelp with a little guano and fish.

Thinking about giving bonticare a try just the bloom,cal mag,liquid karma, an sweet. Is liquid karma worth adding?

I'm trying not to support Botanicre or GH at my shop much anymore as Hawthrones has been doing fishy shit here (Canada) on wholesale level with Sunlight supply but it's a pretty good food and over the years most that use it they says they used it because of the flavour it gives their weed. This is from a lot of people over the years.

If needed. Less N, more Ca/Mg.

PPM per ml per gallon.

Botanicare
5-8-3
N-Ca-Mg

GH
3-13-4
N-Ca-Mg

What you recommend using in the in their line?

 

[AquaTerra]

Go bare bones. Pure Blend Pro Grow for veg and Bloom for flower obviously. CalMag if you start having deficiencies. Unless you wanna pay for the Tea and Hydroplex and Sweet you could make your own tea from worm casting and molasses (look up on YT), dextrose or black strap to repalce Sweet and MKP (mono potassium phosphate) to replce Hydroplex.

Would you recommend their 20 - 25 ML per gallon for bloom stage ?

I would invest in a EC/TDS/PPM pen and PH pen and PH drops first. That way you can get the proper food strenght and ph from the start and just use their charts as a general guide line. PH drop or paper should be no more than $5-10 and EC or PPM pens can be had on Amazon cheap or HM has a chaep tds pen for like $30.

Yeah I have it with 17ml per gal it at 1000 ppm an that's their feeding chart. So I was wonder should I follow their chart ? Grow medium will be in coco

You can but why not use proper tools that way later if you need help you can give people proper info about the current ppm and ph. 1000ppm should be hitting the upper limit of ppm on flower with out CO2

I should mix it the nutrients like stink bud then add it to the reservoir until it hit 800-1000ppm. He pour his nutrients all in 1 jug then into reservoir until desire ppm.

Can you recommend dry notes?
Many thanks.
