yea, i really would recommend this product after this first use. i haven't done a controlled experiment, but i do believe it helped my yield extremely. example, of 30 gallons of soil i yielded 3.5 ounces, with this product in 14 gallons of soil, i yielded > 5 ounces. the roots were way more and way fatter with this product that previously without.

$46? At those application rates? WOW!!!!!!

You might want to check out MycoGrow Soluble from Fungi Perfecti, www.fungi.com

1oz cost $6+$1.50 shipping and will make 12 gallons of solution, enough for 150-250 plants.

This company has been around since the mid 1980's and more than a few of the newer 'elite' nute company's simply buy their stuff, re-package it, then sell it for big $$$$$

$46 or $8 .... Let me think about that.:roll:

I would suggest using Great White. I used Oregonism for just one grow because you have to use so damn much of it. I went through an entire container with just one watering. With the Great White, which has more stuff in it anyway, you only have to use 1 small scoop for 2 gallons of solution. I use 3gallon pots, and following the directions you only use like 16 or 32oz of the solution. My $35 container of Great White lasts me like 4 grows watering 30 plants in 3gal pots using the stuff every 2 weeks. So this means its barely costing me like $8 a grow.

and none of you had THIS happen to your plants from that crap??
I was ready to start budding 7 plants, it KILLED them all and overnight!!!
One silvery lining, I only paid 19.99 for a 4 ounce pouch, and I only used 1/2..or less what the pkg said to..but it killed all my meds and set me back over 2 months.
I may have gotten a bad batch, am going to send it in for testing, but I sure wouldn't trust this stuff!!

As I did when I first use Orgenism XL..you are reading the aplication rate wrong. You have to make the solution at the recommended rate and THEN apply the solution at a rate of 2 tbsp/gal....stuff is great and last long when it is mixed right.

Yeah, following the directions usually provides the best results doesn't it?

Looks like there was too much food in the soil that was not yet broken down and/or you added WAY too much oregonism xl, or both. I use 2x recommended dose and get great results, but if you have an upcoming nute burn on some smallers plants benefecial bacterias can break down the food a little faster than the plants can use them in some cases.
