More expensive is not more better

About 3 years ago I discovered the Espoma (www.espoma.com) line of organic nutrients. The Plant tone and the Bulb Tone are fantastic ferts. At 5-3-3 for the Plant Tone, and 3-5-3 for the Bulb Tone, they're just right IMHO for veg and flower. I have no probs (other than the occasional critter) in my garden, and my smoke is the smoothest, best tasting I've grown, even as good as the stuff I get from my bunny poo!! And the price is real reasonable.
They also have a full line of other organic nutrients.

Does anyone else out there use this great product? No I do not work for them. just an extremely satisfied custy.

I use it also, Jack I was wondering when you mix your medium with the plant tone do you go ahead and add the bulb tone?
I've never used the bulb tone in flower. i could make a tea with it though.

i don't use either of the products that you mentioned, but i just started to use their bone and blood meal as an addition to my ffof soil, and it seems to be working just fine as i can cut back some on the synthetics for the first couple of weeks and i haven't noticed any problems by doing so..

Espoma is the shit I use their 4-3-3 BioTone, greensand, gardenlime, rock phosphate, and 5-3-3 PlantTone without a complaint and all I did was add water and the occasional castings tea with molasses. Their 3-5-7 FlowerTone has some chems in it. I never used the BulbTone, but I do use FF PoM 3-8-8 Bulb Food for flowering. Great quality product line at a price you can afford these nutes last a looooong time and I recycle my soil since there are no synthetics used.

Yep, I use the Bulb tone, and just upped the N during veg with a bit of fish emulsion. When I DO need a good vegging fert, I use the Bio Tone. It has an inoculation of mycos in it. The tech support at Espoma told me that all of the tones would have that soon, and that was a couple years ago. (I've been outta commission for 18 mo)
Sorry no pics of crops, cops got my comp. The files were encrypted tho. I love True Crypt!! It really sucks tho, cuz i had some beautys.

No. I've never used the flower tone, I use the bulb tone as it's NPK is 3-5-3. Higher in P for the flowering girls. Since my 3rd grow, I've done clones exclusively, so I start out with a flowering nute/soil mix, and supplement the N while I veg them.
