I love Maxsea

I didn't start plant seeds last year until 6-15 and clones 7-19. I cropped 9-20. I'm quite excited to see what happens in the next 2 months. But It is getting a little out of control for the size I was planning on them being. Anyways, I've been feeding them only 3x16 Maxsea with a little vf-11 and super thrive.

Curious, have you used the fox farms ferts before this? Just wondering how they compare

No I haven't used the fox farm line, my buddy used them for his hydro indoor and it was some of the most chronic I've ever seen/tasted. No doubt foxfarm knows what there doing, 2 of my plants outdoor are in fozfarm potting soil. I was trying quite a few different soils in the greenhouse this year mainly to learn which one I like best and they all seem about even really. Maxsea is just so f***ing cheap in comparison.

Last year I had one 1.5 lb. and it lasted the whole season. I had a 4 plants in a dog house and 4 clones in 5 gallon pots. This year I've already used a little more than 1- 1.5 lb container. So I will buy another 1.5 16-16-16 I think to finish and a 1.5lb of 3-20-20 to finish flowering. I appreciate the math given SenorBrownWater !! This should be pretty helpful, It dosent sound very scientific but I like to make the mixure a anti-freeze green, Which I find is about a tbs. per gallon. If you mix too much it turns brown.

I use it in client's gardens when I want to tweak things a bit. I'll plant with Espoma, though. *Maxsea has a lot of quick ferts in it so I don't use it all the time. Good stuff. By using quick ferts you get fast results but with too much the plants are more tender and susceptable to bugs and pathogens, requires more water and is less heat resistant. I like and use it here in the desert, don't get me wrong. It's good as a replacement for Miracle Grow.

*I use the Acid Plant Food the most, which is probably hotter than the others, can't remember.

By the way;
my grow is going really really well but pruned too much, in my opinion, during my two prunes. So I put some Espoma in my tea and a touch of Maxsea to give them a gentle nudge. The ppms were only 350 and I diluted to 160 ppms. Pretty light but I'd been tea watering with only 40-50 ppms, nothing else except for a well set up very mild organic soil. Anyway, the maxsea and Espoma really woke the plants up and they are lush and gorgeous and growing too fast again, lol.

Not very scientific but my point is go light as opposed to going too heavy. You can always add more later but you can't take away from too heavy a dose.
