I've been away but I wanted to address this real quick. Sensi is a 4 part system meaning you have two parts for grow and two more for bloom. I
n your example above, you're using 20mls of Sensi vs 10mls of DG, how does that make any sense if you're comparing concentration levels? In addition, I never made claims about the potency of Sensi as I tested
Connoisseur which is actually more concentrated than your Sensi numbers. But based on
your numbers above, you're right in that when using
bases only, DG is only about 15% cheaper.
Concentration levels and price-point are just the beginning, how about the number of bottles needed to grow a plant from seed to harvest? How about the need for additional bottles down the road because of lack-luster NPK ratios for hydro or incomplete base nutrient formulas? How about pH stability or ease of use? If you want to talk about the true cost of a grow, you need to look at more than just the price of the bases, especially when dealing with canna-specific nutrient companies whose only goal is to empty your pockets. After all, we're talking about salts in water here, not pixies dust and magic potions that guarantee success.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what plant food one uses when one lacks the skills to dial-in everything else it takes to grow a healthy plant. A great example of this occurred last week when a friend was watching my garden while I was gone. I don't know what happened but one of my perfectly healthy flowering dirt plants died while I was gone. I dunno King, should I blame the plant food or the person who was caring for the plants?
