Roots Excel vs. Rootamentary

[Quiet Lion]

Roots Exelurator by H&G or Rootamentry by Primordial Solutions, does anyone know which is better? I use Sea Green and am stoked, so figure their veg product is good too. I have never used roots exelurator and want to know if the two are basically the same thing. I think Rootamentary is less expensive, always a plus.

I have never used roots excel. I have used the GH version which is rapid start. I still need to do tests side by side with one using root stuff and one not.

However, I wanted to tell you that when I use rootamentary it makes my hydro ph go up to 6.15 with 3 different tests. That almost killed my plants and made me fight deficiencies for a week. First time ever that has happened. I love their tru blooms as a foliar. I love their sea green, kelp logic and humalogic.

If you are growing soil I HIGHLY recommend their root bloom or great white. The BE Root bloom has no trichoderma which have been known to eat endo microbes which are the microbes for cannabis. Ecto does nothing. With Great white I have seen AMAZING roots several times so no reason the BE Root Bloom shouldn't work as well. They say it is ok to use in hydro but i stick to Orca for that.

Just got off the phone with Beneficial Biologics. They can't explain the reason for the ph increase. They say for most plants it shouldn't matter because the microbrial activity make ph less important. But all my plants wilting because of the ph increase tells me otherwise. Anarobic bacteria (created without air so they live in environments not enriched with oxygen) have a lot of bad bacteria. Rootamentary says it cultured the good ones of those type and they also have arobic in them. They say combining with sea green ensures no large amounts of bad bacteria can form.

Roots Excell is also arobic. Yet I have heard nothing bad about them so either that bad/good theory is not true or H&G does a good job at selecting good bacteria.

Rapid Start

Damn phone.. Rapid Start is arobic (made with oxygen) and there aren't known bad bacteria's in it. So based on cost at stores here for all 3 and remembering the ph rise with rootamentary.. I would suggest Rapid Start since it is half the price as roots excell. They are both same size bottle and 1ml application. You can double the Rapid Start if you want then it is the same cost as Roots Excell. Also take in to account if your enriching your medium with air.If you are not enriching with air I would recommend Roots Excell since Rapid Start will die and convert to anarobic uncontrolled POSSIBLY leading to bad bacteria.
