hi jerry a couple of ? . if i may
1. do you use grow it green and flower power also
2. if so do you supplement them with other nutes like fox farm or some such brand
3. IYO do you think these are good enough to use as stand alone products , from beginning to the end
4. have you noticed any difference in your yeild lees , more or the same
the reason i ask the seem to be very reasonable priced .
1) Yes. I've been giving some Grow it Green with just about every nutrient feeding, usually in 1/2 or a full recommended dose. I want to keep my fan leaves as healthy as possible through flower.
2) Yes. I give Fox Farm Big Bloom liquid fertilizer (mostly castings and guano) along with Cal-Mag+ and usually some molasses.
3) Maybe. The biggest problem I've encountered thus far is some spotting of my fan leaves as we work our way farther into flower. Hence why I use the Cal-Mag. I would highly recommend adding some source of calcium and magnesium.
4) No. Compared with the Fox Farm Grow Big and Tiger Bloom I have not noticed any difference in yield. I have noticed a smoother taste and more pungent odor of my organically grown buds, but that may have more to do with me getting better at growing than the nutrients...
The main advantage organics provides is in the soil tilth. You're providing an environment for microorganisms to thrive and help break down the guano and castings and other good stuff into usable nutrients for the plant. I've found my organic buds are more resistant to mold too. My relative humidity in my flower room repeatedly hit 70% over the summer and the buds turned out just fine, whereas my fox farm grow experienced mold in all 3 strains of bagseed...again, maybe I'm improving my growing technique, or maybe it's the organics.
Either way, I'm happy with BMO thus far...and you're right, it is very affordable.
