*giggle* Sure why not.
Dyna Gro Foliage Pro is based on tropical plant needs for potted in house plants. It contains a superior formula that has all the things included in perfect ratio's for Macro, Micro, and mineral content. Don't "need" extra Ca, Mg or even Si.....Still extra Si is not a bad choice of supplement, even in soil.
The 3-1-2 NPK ratio (3 parts N to 1 part P to 2 parts K) is perfect for MM needs (others do work but, this is a perfect place to start for new(er) growers)! Fool proof mix - You just have to feed it right.
Many folks say that treating MJ like a tomato is good - Sort of. I say treat it like a Tropical and you'll do better!
As far as the Bloom goes...YOU COULD use it like a "booster". That would work ok. The thing is, you would only use it like one time (feeding) a week and only 2 weeks in a row, and then LATE in bloom. Say no earlier then week 6 and more like week 7 and 8....at 3ml per gallon, mixed with the feed. Do it at the FIRST day of that week!
Now then. If that was successful, I might try it for week 6 also on a run! Better? Worse? Get yellowing of leaves earlier? Depends on what happened with that as to if I would continue the practice...
See the point is here, to learn to grow with the base nutrient first. Get that dialed in - green start to finish. Once you have that down. Then it's time to experiment with "boosting". Your better able to "see" nutrient problems and their results. makes it easier to tell whats going on and if it's "to much".
"I" would sell that one (bloom) back and just get good and dialed in with the Foliage pro before attempting to experiment with bloom supplementing !!! "I" would look to a more specific "supplement" that would have a higher K then P for that. There are a few out there.
As far as the stupid rooting agent goes - I explained that one in the first post.

...but is it cold-pressed?
And what about concentration?
Not all kelp additives are of the same quality...

Fussy are we? lol....Yeah, your right....Same thing for Humic and fulvic acids! BioAg or nothing there!
My go to is Age Old Organic Kelp....
Next is Maxicrop Seaweed.
I do have a place for Thrive Alive B-1 GREEN in my garden too.
I will during bloom, at times, and for the right strain. Mix my go to and thrive Alive and use it alongside particular supplements, mixed with a fresh AACT tea and feed that.
Good?

I stand by bioag. Its the only real additive i have EVER used that I have seen immediate results.

Meh...guess it will have to do. I have to keep in mind that the prime directive to your suggestions is affordability.
I shall keep my personal predilections to myself.

It's not a problem. I don't worry to much about "pressings" unless it's my expensive extra virgin olive oil. I mean, I simply settled on Age Old years ago. It always did the best for me.....The whole thing is about saving money over the high cost mixtures from the colorful claims (and labels) of the big name nutrient makers. But on that note, the 3 I like are first cold pressed....
I figured that liking Age Old was being fussy until, I began the "combo" thing for sativa dominate strains.
See ya around

Age Old bottled kelp isn't organic, read the back of the bottle, I used to use it until I read the label.

No doubt, pissed me off when I bought a new bottled and saw the label now I have a full unused bottle.

It's obvious you've never used it or haven't used it correctly.

It contains molybdenum , has a warning on the label too, you might want to read your products before using them for safety reasons.

Sure a lot of old threads resurfacing lately. Never heard of this product and would never use it. My plants always have beautiful healthy roots using just the basics. I'm not one to be suckered with slick marketing. My plants and their roots will grow just as good as those using this product. I'll save the money and use it to buy a bottle of Gin.

Don't overlook the Great White. X-Treme Gardening Mykos is cheaper and works great.
