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

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.

Botanicare was suggested to me the first time I grew and was the reason for the success I had.

I have upgraded this year and gotten a little serious and all I can say is this is the easiest nutes to get great results. Great right up and I am gonna get me some molasses I can't wait to tray that out!

I've been thinking of switching to Botanicare's Pure Blend Pro stuff. My buddy uses it with great success. I've been using Fox Farm to great success and like that alot of their nutes are organic ("based" anyways), but Botanicare's line seems so simple that I am pretty sure I'm switching over after I harvest. :peace:

I use both.. gro and bloom.. I used the hydro bloom in soil and I had to supplmeent the nitro but it worked nicely.. (going to hydro after the potential cloned mothers flower out in soil..
good product all around and a decent price..
I have try groteck this time I don't know.. 12-4-8 for the grow formula.. thats bang on the 3-1-2 ratios that I see recommended alot...
I'm almost out of veg nutes.. I'm actually going tomorrow..

The botanicare is 3-2-4 I think..

hey brussels...i bought the pro grow and pro bloom( the pro bloom for hydrogardens ) and im using soil...i could easily return the one that is for hydrogardens and get the one for soils... i think some one else on here said they needed to add nitrogen because the hydrogarden pro bloom was lower in nitrogen then the soil pro bloom...so should i return it? or does it not matter. also using the feeding method you gave. should i water with nutes every watering or every other watering?

thanks in advanced :joint::):weed:

I am using them on my first hydro grow, they were recommended to me by the local hydroponics store. I use to grow all organic outdoor and in soil and never had tastier buds. A couple things I've heard but can't find much research on is, botanicare's "Sweet" product contains more arsenic than we would like, but what doesn't these days. Also the debate on can organic growing be achieved hydroponically, I guess you guys decide that one, we'll find out though.
