OK, i used to use fox farm and ran out and decided to try botanicare. I have to say i like it way better. IMO its more stable, i have yet to have any problems and i have used strong doses. The Fox farm just was too strong and too unstable for my liking. I grow 12/12 from seed to harvest and use PBP Bloom, Cal-Mag, Liquid Karma, and Sweet Grape.
