Yikes!!!! Botanicare is not an option, quickly turn and run the other way! Nah, nah, nah, just joking brah. But on a serious level "herbsDaword",this product is not gonna win you the cannabis cup! This product falls time and time again way short of perfection.
Remember what grandma always said,"sonny, you get what you pay for". If you're gonna spend a few dollars on name brand hydro nutrients, you might as well go all out?!

I guess it depends...what would be an "all out" purchase?
Either Power plant or Pure Blend Pro with additives. I have not decided . My conflicting thought is that Pure Blend Pro came out after power plant and is a more developed product also a little more simple to mix. Power plant feed chart has pureblend original and blast off separately while PBP has condensed into 1;Liquid Karma.
Any info or links are appreciated. Thanks.
(I realize this is a outdoor thread)
im gonna do a natural light with aero-ponic set up.

I'd seriously wait on LED technology. It ain't all that yet. Some people claim it's awesome, but i'm pretty sure those are the one's that have bought the LED lights already,..and must speak of it's virtues because no one wants to admit they just spent 2 to 3 grand on lights that give you "pop corn buds",as a final product. I have combed the internet, and all parts of this earth trying to do research on LED grow lights. About 80% of all LED lights come from one company in Taiwan. Doesn't that give you an idea as to were LED lights are now?

Just do your due diligence with regard to these lights before you drop your hard earned money. I think HPS lights are the way to go these days! But then, that's just my opinion. What say you?
Yup. HPS the only option if your doing indoors, don't even waste your money on anything else. HPS is proven to work, the only thing better than HPS would be a HPS/MH mix. LED and fluorescents have their place, for vegging and clones.

So you switched your t5 setup for hps?

certainly did. High Output Fluoros do ok, but you need to keep such a tight canopy and keep the lights very close, i prefer the light penetration of HPS/MH. i use my t5s to veg now.
Right on. Where'd you get your hps setup? Can PM if you wanna keep it DL.

why all the 'secret agent Man' stuff? Don't sweat the small things in life dude. If it's legal in a store or on line, then I wouldn't worry. It's not like you're buying 'Salvia' from some shady dealer online,right?

If you're gonna buy a metal halide setup, whatever you do don't waste your money on a 400watt lights & ballast. Well, only if you want "pop corn" buds from top to bottom on your plants? With a 600 watt light & ballast you'll have your average euro indoor grow setup. But put in 1000 watt light & ballast is your a serious indoor grower. There's something special about the sound a 1000 watt ballast when it fires up.

Lol! You crack me up puna. I guess you're right. My mind always creates these "worst case scenarios" like police raiding my house and shooting my family and my dogs. It just freaks me out cuz I've seen videos where the cops bust in and start shooting. Not too long ago, a little girl sleeping on her couch got shot and killed during a raid for weed. She was only like 8 or 9 years old! And there are vids of cops busting in, shooting dogs that are in cages. WTF?

Anyway, that was my rant for today. I guess I'll be doing some shopping, he he. :)

LOL!! woah cuz'n!!! this is hawai'i, not the mainland. that kinda shit just doesn't happen here. the public would have there heads if law enforcement or narcs did shit like that. and we are talking about weed for christs sake! it's not like your pumping out a crack lab or something. there is nothing wrong with buying lights. if you still scared for buy em, pm me, we go meet up, give me the bread, and I'll go buy the lights for you. no sweat....:blsmoke:
