I was wondering if anyone has used botanicare products? and if so what works well in the veg stage?
Nice write up, just picked up a quart of this for my new girls and was wondering if I indeed made a good choice so thank you.I have been using two Botanicare products in bubblers with great success. With the 'Pure Blend Pro Grow', vegging has been vigorous and absolutely lush. I've used 1/4 oz/gal of water on cuttings for one week, and seedlings for three weeks, under 18/6 lights. I run it up to 1/2 oz/gal through one week after I flip to 12/12. I set pH at 6.3 to 6.5 for solutions changes, as checking in pH in bubblers will only frustrate you.
After one week at 12/12, I go to Botanicare's 'pureblend pro bloom' at 1/2 oz/gal, again running up to 3/4 oz/gal after one week. I remain at this solution for five weeks, give or take a little, just depending on the strain and flowering time. During the last week with Pro Bloom, I also add 1 oz of molasses to the solution and set pH. For the final week of flush, I use only the molasses and water, going to 1 1/2 oz/gal with molassas. I've had some people scoff at my use of molassas, but i've used it with incredable results on organic outdoor grows, and now with my bubblers. You can see buds swell from day to day...
In the past, I have used other much more expensive solution mixes, with complicated formulas, but have now learned that "simple is good". Botanicare has worked very well for me, and no, i dont work for, or sell this stuff. I simply grow very smooth and sweet smokin shit...B
