Hey all,
I picked up this bottle of Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom. There were 2 different bottles of it on the shelf, I assumed one was newer or something. The one I ended up getting is screwy though. I'm 99% sure this is actually the hydro version, I'm growing in soil but there were a couple of things that really caught my attention on this particular one. On the front it says for an NPK "2-3-5", but on the back it says:
-------------------------------------------
Guaranteed Minimum Analysis
Total Nitrogen (N) 2.5%
2.5% Water Soluble Nitrogen
Available Phosphate (P2O5) 2.0%
Soluble Potash (K20) 5.0%
Calcium (Ca) 1.0%
Magnesium (Mg) 0.5%
Non-Plant Food Ingredients
7.0% Humic acid derived from leonardite.
-------------------------------------------
The humic acid was a big part of why I chose to buy it. It all seemed kinda screwy, but it fit what I was looking for pretty well (and more), whether the phosphate was 2.0 or 3.0. Has anyone else out there encountered this, and/or figured out what's really in the bottle? I used the contact form on their web site, but I haven't got an answer yet. The analysis they have posted on their web site says it has 3.0% phosphate and only .15% humic acid. That would certainly be disappointing.
