First let me start by saying this is only a personal opinion so please don't shit a brick if you don't agree ( since rollitup is known for assholes). Secondly please excuse any colloquialisms. I am from the south, and women like my accent anyway so fuck a hater.......
But I recently bought a B'cuzz coco starter kit from from my local hydro store. It was bogo ( buy one get one [free]) and it suited my already dwindling budget since I had planned on buying hardening additives.
1. the first problem I ran into was the fact that there weren't any informative product reviews. I searched the net for hours trying to find common problems but to no avail.
2.Secondly, the U.S. may be one of the only major countries left using the standard system but they brought their product to us. which means they can at the very least change the stickers on the bottle to the standard system of measurements to make our experiences a little easier. I'm quite sure Atami has no problems converting our currency.
3.My third issue came upon me opening the box. after wiping of the dust (which probably implies that the starter kits actually stem from old inventory) I saw that none of the bottles had any elemental values given out side of the N-P-K percentages required by U.S. law. What that means is the system in counter preductive. the whole purpose in buying 2 or more bottle nutrient lines, is to have the ability to customize the nutrients to suite your plants needs. How can you customize your nutrients without knowing what's in them. In order to view the contents I had to go to the governments' American plant food control website that mandates a list of all metal contents (aapfco.org). Which lead to issue four and five...
4. ALL OF THE ADDITIVES ARE THE SAME. B'cuzz's growth, bloom, and root stimulators ARE THE EXACT SAME THING (out side of the small amount of nitrogen [.07 or .7% I cant remember which] that's added to the growth additive) good products don't need to ripoff people to increase sells.
5. This one kinda hurt the most.. THERE IS NO CALCIUM IN ANY OF THE 5 BOTTLES THAT MAKE UP THE KIT. Here's the significance in that. Anyone, I mean any one who grows in coco knows that the medium creates calcium deficiencies in particular. That's the whole point in buying a coco specific nutrient. After searching the governments website and looking into all 5 products that make up the complete line and the bloombastic (also made by Atami) I came to a grim conclusion. On top of the: coco A, coco B,PK13/14,root stimulator, growth stimulator, and bloom stimulator that you need to complete the line; and the bloombastic line of additives that they hope you buy, THESE BASTARDS WANT YOU TO PAY FOR CAL/MAG AS WELL. WTF!!!!!..
My official stance on Atami is fuck it . the next time I decide to be adventurous ill just grab the 3 part gh. But there is one pro that everyone did seem to point out in the reviews I did find... it's cheap
