Just wondering how others use the botanicare products. I have used liquid karma with pure blend pro (veg) until last week. I cut down the veg a little and started adding a small amount of pure blend pro soil (bloom) with the karma. I will go to just karma and soil bloom when buds are clearly showing. Should I also start using cal/mag or Sweet or both??? others? This is what I use every time I water every other day. What combinations do you others use. This is my first grow. I'm in the northwest and used Roots Organics soil and got 5 clones from a friend. Any tips/advice would be great. Here is a pic of my largest one (over 5 ft tall) two days ago. Good Growing!!!!!

i use them indoor, its the first time im using them and im using PBP bloom, karama and cal mag. They are doing great. If i were outdoor i might use a bit more of them because of the amount of light outdoor gets.

I'm tempted to use the ca/mag and sweet. I've herd to use the cal/mag by its self do you do this?? I'm using the karma, little grow and a little soil boom right now until full flower. Looking great here are a couple pics from today. The big one is pushing almost 6 ft. I'll use my good camera not my phone nest time. any thoughts??

You can actually grow from seed to finish with PBP Soil Bloom (no PBP Grow required). I've done it myself indoors. That with liquid karma, hygrozyme (not botanicare) and molasses (also not botanicare). The medium was straight light warrior with no ammendments. I had no need for sweet since molasses does the same thing for a lot less money.

prolly dont need the cal/mag since they are in the earth and you could substitute the sweet for just plain old molasses

YO.
I have the whole line up, gro, bloom, grape sweet, hydroguard (or a mix of synonyms), cal mag plus, and liquid karma. The guy at the hydro store gave me a chart to use with the nutes that gives all the proper ratios for what week of flower or bloom you're on. I am having good results, but am only using 50% strength because I planted in FFOF and its fairly nute rich. Also, on the sweet I have it has some micro nutes, in addition to the properties that molases has..

Pass it on :joint::joint::joint:

Ive used botanicare in the past. Not a bad nute, I used CNS-17 grow and bloom, calmag, hydroplex (soil), and clearex. I also used mollases and a few other additives but I had a pretty heavy yield Im just trying somethin new at the moment. Just make sure you mix your nutes IN the water, not before.

Thanks for all the help!!! You can take a look at my thread to see how things are going. I'm very happy with my first grow so far.

No problems with Botanicare. I use Silica blast during veg and it seems to help, then again, maybe not. Never really did an honest A/B comparison so i won't comment on something i dont know.

I pretty much just stick to the basics. KISS method works for me.

No bottles of Super Duper Rocket Bud Blast on the shelves for me.
