Those look amazing for having just sprouted.
April 20th is sprout day. Growing Ethos, Mephisto, Gas Reaper, RocBudinc one pot is Ocean potting soil. 3 pots are coco loco and living soil the rest are just coco loco. Nobody gets treated any differently 11 plants and 3 are in three gallon. The rest are 5 gallon. Under really really intense light. Feeding mostly organic but synthetic too. RAW NPK is the best fertilizer and supplements I have found so far

RAW is just repackaged salts marked up significantly in price. You can buy the same thing for 1/10th the price from Custom Hydro or many other vendors.
It sure does dissolve fast and completely. But im open minded. Please get me that info. Ill try. RAW NPK is not expensive. 2oz pack makes 200 gallons.

I haven't used that particular brand but it's water soluble.
STANDARD FINES SOP ORGANIC is fine screened for rapid dissolution in making liquid fertilizer solutions and suspensions.
They also have a different formulation.
Soluble Potassium Sulfate 0-0-53 fertilizer, one pound $8.40
Highest Purity Crystaline Potassium Sulfate Fertilizer for Fertigation and Hydroponics.
SOP-3IX Sulfate of Potash 0-0-53 with 18% sulfur
Used for creation of liquid blends or fertigation and hydroponics. Low SGN is ideal for fast dissolution.
I'm not saying that RAW is bad or anything. But the pricing is insane. I would never pay those prices.
Those prices? 2oz is under 10 dollars and will make 200 gallons. Thats dirt cheap.

In RAW's defense, I noticed that they recommend adding way smaller parts than most other lines. I don't know if that means the salts are more refined or if they're just honest about how much is actually needed. For example Kelp4less suggests 1/4 to 1/2 per gallon for their humic acid. Raw suggests 1/8 to 1/4. Kelp4less sales theirs for about half of the price as RAW. Interestingly enough, Kelp4less claims it's 80%. RAW claims only 59%, but states that it is derived from Leonardite, which is the most concentrated form. I can't find a source for Kelp4less.
So really in this instance they seem to be about the same price, but RAW isn't pushing up your EC nearly as much.

Best prices on Pro-mix hands down
Im loving the entire RAW line. Im using grow and bloom. Then potassium phosphorus and nitrogen as boosters. I also use their aminos silica kelp molasses calmag enzymes vitamin b humic and full up. The grow and bloom contains most of these supplements but I have some pretty hungry plants sometimes. I feed them 1200ppm plus every 5-6 days. Water feed water boost water feed and repeat. The boosts depends on what stage the plants are in. If flowering they get potassium and phosphorus. Veg. Phosphorus and nitrogen. This is my best grow to date so far. 42 days and one plant already needs support because the buds are so big. And they have another 30-40 days to go. If they stay on track these are gonna be some monsters
