Please from the hydro gods give me some advice if this is overkill to use and have on hand to use for future journals and grows. Also do all these products effect the PPM?

Botanicare Nutes:

Pure Blend Pro Grow
Pure Blend Pro Bloom
Liquid Karma
Cal MAg Plus
Clearex
Silica Blast
Power Plant
Hydroplex
Hydroguard
Sweet
& NON Botanicare

Grotek Monster Bloom (If needed)

Well.... I'm using Botanicare products on one of my plants right now. I'm only using the Pro Grow, Pro Bloom and CalMag. My plant is doing fine with just those..

I've read good things about Liquid Karma. Clearex is a product to help get rid of salt build up.... personally I just flush with RO water and have no need for something like Clearex.

Looks like a pretty complete nutrient package... although I'm not sure you need 2 formulas of BLOOM... that seems a bit overkill to me.

Be careful of the Pure Blend Pro Grow. It is ABSOLUTELY necessary to use a PPM meter with it because they had a KNOWN problem where the nute solution at the dose on the label was WAY WAY too high. In fact when I mixed at even less then the rate they suggested my PPM was still over 2000! The Pro Bloom doesn't seem to have the same issue. Start with 1/4 strength and check the PPM...adjust from there.

Thanks. Not sure why I have to blooms but must be left over from other time and place. LOL

Any news on PPM for each? I sent an e-mail for inquiry and no response yet. I'll keep ppl posted.

and remember to use the cal/mag with the pro grow, it works alright in soil, but in hydro my plants cant do without the cal/mag.
