General organics vs botanicare

[BigTexan]

Been using GO nutes for a few months been told botanicare is better for a more controlled feeding but they are chemicals not organics. but i was wondering if anyone has tested these two products. im interested in botanicare. i do use 100% organic soiless setup so i kinda dont want to go away from organic nutes but if someone has an opinion to which is better for organic soiless. medium is Promix. that would be awesome trying to get the best performance nutes for my babies. since you cant control exactly which nutrient you are putting in. with botanicare i think there are many stand alone nutrients. not with GO, whats in the bottle is what you get.

Yields will be better with Botanicare, but overall quality will be better with GO. I would give roots organics a try much better yield than GO.

are you using the whole GO line?

 

[BigTexan]

yeah everything, its doing good just seeing whats out there and whats better for yield and quality.

just one of my girls has a zinc def but GO has nothing for zinc i dont see zinc in any of the nutes.

Another question do you use compost teas?

ya GO tries to stay away from EDTA since it is a microbe inhibitor, and as far as I know almost every source of zinc in fertilizers is chelated using EDTA. Oyster shell is a good organic source of zinc

i dont use teas i was about to start experimenting with guano.

Try a basic earth worm casting and ancient forrest tea before you add guano's IMO. I think GO really needs added microbes to be effective.

Organicare is Botanicares organic line, if you wanted to try them and keep it organic. They seem to work well for me, though I have no real means of comparison.

I've ran Botanicare & it wasn't bad at all. Its supposed to be "organic based nutrient" so its not truly organic but has organic material in it... The only thing I've used from general organics is there bio Root. I was going to run the whole line but the hydro store guy talked down about it so I grabbed botanicare.

At the moment I'm using using Subs supersoill outside and it seems to be doing the trick. Haven't had any problems at all. Although some say that its wasteful other people swear by it. Still cheaper then bottled nutes.

If your trying to go organic you should try to stay away from bottled nutes imo..
