While I agree with the cost being high, I would use nothing less.
And here's a few things that help justify the cost of my nutes in my own head.
"6 Years Of Technological Advancements In 1 Product!"
I don't have 6 years to waste.
"Dutch Master only uses the best available British & US Pharmaceutical & Laboratory Reagent grade chemicals, phyto-nutrients & aminos when making Gold Range NUTRIENT!"
_ I have no access to such things. Would you like the those links posted to this thread also.
" Every batch is independently lab tested for consistency prior to bottling so we can guarantee that the next bottle of Gold Range NUTRIENT you buy is identical to the last!" I very highly doubt it. I dubt they even havetheequipment to do the testing.
- again, I have not the time nor patience for such testing. Yeah, right.
"By providing a unique ionic charge to the elements contained within Gold Range NUTRIENT, we unlock nature’s awesome genetic power!" That's funny.
- how again would you propose I add the correct ionic charge to my mix of home made nutes?? By following the simple recipies provided my me or many others capable of formulating nutrient recipes. It is not rocket science.
The product you jumped on was for foliar feeding so I would guess the PPM would be much less than that of the regular nutrients. Your wrong again. Only a few nutrients are evem suppied with most foliar formulations. The ones supplied are actually supplied my DM at ppm's that are to high. That is why you have overly lushgrowth. I am not sure why you believe lush folaige growth in mj is a good thing. Then again, I'm no scientist like fatman. It does not require you to be a scientist to learn about nutrient chemistry or to mix your own nutrients given a recipe. It only requires you to be willing to leran and to quit supprting those manafactures charging huge mark ups just because they can. So in regards to that product being so cheap and easy to produce for you, why aren't you using it? Be cause it is not a good product or a needed product. I use Liquid Light and Saturator for foliar feeding and my plants are freaks! That they are, but I do not consider freaks a good thing. How about this, before you judge a product, learn something about it first. I know how to read a fertilizer anlaysis and I also have a degree in chemistry and teach a courses in aquatic chemistry and carbonate chemistry. I imagine I have a better understanding of the DM nutrient formulations then thse mixing and selling them Dude. You seemed to have slipped over things like "ionic charged nutrients", Dude, you obviously do not know what ioniccaly cgarges nutrients means. "foliar feeding" I am not an ignorant child Dude. as well as the most obvious fact, my journal. Some photos of some poorly grown planys supplied with too much nitrogen is not somethinh that impresses me Dude. There are plenty of pics of my plants using this entire feeding program. And? They are all magnificent. Did you forget to post the magnificient plant photos? As a matter of fact I posted a challenge in my thread, anything organic based for foliar feeding against my Liquid Light. Dude some urea alone as a foliar feed would likely do just as well. You name it and I'll buy it.
I went to 6 sites for growers before resting my flowers here. Of ALL 6 sites NO ONE has shown me plants that look like mine. That is because most people do not supply excessive nitrogen as you have. Typically only outdoor growers ever consider purposely growing plants that lush. Lush is not a good tyhing unless you have very, very intense lighting. Until they do I will keep using this high priced stuff imported from Holland and reaping the rewards. If you think your reaping rewards that is fine as your entitled to your opinions.
Check the journal if you think I'm kidding one slightest bit . I have looked at you amateur growing journal Dude.
I pay for science, When buying what? convenience Wow the real center of all your arguments!, and NO GUESS WORK! Dude it is all guess work!!! They formulate fertilizers for the average mj strain and the average mj growing system. If it is working well for you that simply means your strain and growing methodology is just average. Perfect for a new indoor grower, not "sad" by any means. For those average growers like you perhaps your right. I would think any serious grower however would strive to be better than average. Perhaps you are happy with average though.
