Nute brands

Well put mate
But i did look into going powder possibilty a long time ago and decided that wasn't something i wanted to try at this stage. Maybe someday. But ye its true the availability just isn't there where i come from. I will get only pre mixed powders for all sorts of other purposes, i looked more than once considering that possibility myself.

Like i said before i DO agree with everything you said. But even if the powder ferts were readily available i'd prolly still wanna pay the few bucks more for a good formula.

I do foliar feed quite alot, using silica as one of the foliar applications

And lastly, the admin that erased my reply to the troll above?? Wtf? HE can talk shit but i can't reply???

Yes they play favorites here. Best to put the trolls on ignore. I don't have time for morons, anyway. Who does?

Having run head to head vs sexy bottles, I can say early results are that the water bottles are more expensive. Yield isn't substantially different, bigger or better quality. They're just less flexible...

Ye i kno and you definelty have got me thinking! The nutes don't need to get much more expensive before i do take your advice and start lookin into dry chemicals again. I should be able to find something usefull SOME where

If you are stuck in the EU, there are restrictions as to the ferts used, as HG has N.American nutes only, and EU nutes. If I was there (GB?) I would use HG, expensive but good quality, plus they make soil and hydro products which is nice.

Try wholesale greenhouse or agricultural supply houses. Emphasis on wholesale, they do it to keep the riff raff (us) to a minimum.

Thx. I'll look into it. Nooo it's waay worse, denmark! Alotta product i CAN find in the UK they don't ship here

Exactly tty, they do it to keep the riff raff to a minimum. Wich is also why i'm not good at showing up at places lile that on my bold face and start asking questions

I'm not sure where all I've posted this, so it may seem redundant; I recently ran a head to head of dry nutrient salts (Hydrogardens.com's 5-11-26 plus micros, calcium nitrate, epsom salt and MKP) vs House & Garden on their own published RDWC chart.

H&G lost. The run was clearly less dense and the plants were obviously starved for nutrients.

Surely tweaking the EC chart from H&G might make up for these deficiencies- but why bother? The outcome would just end up matching- at best- results from the dry salts, for the low price of twenty to fifty times as expensive?!

The wholesalers do it to maintain the competitive advantage of commercial greenhouse operators; they know that high priced nutrients make it harder for home growers to compete- for any products grown.

So where do you buy these dry fertilizers without looking like Timothy McVay?

Hydrogardens.com Since they're in Colorado springs they'll make the obvious assumption that you're growing weed- and they don't care.
