GH MaxiGro & MaxiBloom users?

Darn curiosity has the better of me, again ;)

I have used Advanced Nutrients M/G/B with acceptable results, didn't care for the mixing with multiple bottles.

Last grow I used Mega Crop one part, loved the ease of weighing out One Part nutrients and quite acceptable results !

This grow I'm doing five different strains and am considering using GH MaxiGro/MaxiBloom for two (?) plants.

And might as well drink the cool aid and go with Dry KoolBloom and Liquid KoolBloom :cool:

Thoughts ?

Cheers

My thoughts, not to b a dick at all.

Stop buying water stick with salts. I can vouch for veg blooms line. I'm about to try Jack's 3 2 1. But stop buying water weight and paying the premium for all the shipping that water has been thru

I loved my old line and would still use it, but it didn't work with hydro because of its density. So I tried other things, now I add some of the old stuff but I'm addicted to salts as a base

3 lousy bottles, never having to worry about pH and made in Canada and the US with certified materials by a domestically owned company that has said they make their nutes mainly for pot growers since their inception or 2 things, needing pH management, and owned by the scumbag family of Scotts/Monsanto/Bayer/Hawthorne/Roots group made with the cheapest materials available and never once admitting they make their nutes for pot growers or offering support if the word pot is mentioned.

I'll stick with option A thanks. I got gallon jugs of the 3-part 7 years ago and still have at least half left. At the store I got mine GH 3-part would have been $40 more. Cost for nutes is a very small portion of what it costs me to grow a pound of pot indoors so with the ease of use if it costs me a few more dollars for each pound it's a price I'm happy to pay.

You would definitely be happy with Maxigro/bloom. Jack's is good too, but the ease of use and results that the Maxi series brings makes it hard not to choose. The most important thing to check when looking at mineral salts is the heavy metal content. If you lookup Maxibloom here https://apps1.cdfa.ca.gov/fertilizerproducts/, you'll see that Arsenic, Cadmium, and Lead are all "ND" or not detectable. Maxigro tests under the limits for all three as well, although a very small amount is there, the reason being Maxigro has a micronutrient pack added to it, while Maxibloom does not. Micronutrients are very hard to add to a product without adding some heavy metals. General Hydroponics have always used clean salts-they don't use "the cheapest materials available" and you can tell by using that database, and looking up other products from other companies and seeing how loaded they are with heavy metals by comparison. GH is owned by Hawthorne, which is owned by Scott's, which IS NOT owned by Monstanto, btw.

Advanced also uses high quality salts, as does Jack's. Any of these three lines would be fine to use, but I also like to eliminate bottles from my grow, so I've been switching between Jack's and Maxi series, but keep going back to Maxi. It's a fine choice, easy to use, and Maxibloom is one of the CLEANEST products on the market-your buds will have fewer heavy metals than most other mineral salt grows and the majority of organic grows. Good luck!

So if a company says they manufacturer nutrients specifically for marijuana that automatically makes them a plus for you? Lmao. Sounds more like a scam to growers to me.

Like the old car saying, “Bottles are for babies.”

If you want to pay for water all the power to you.

Disagree alittle. When the plants are vegging I find they are greener, larger and more robust by using Maxigro till they switch to flower. They certainly will grow well on a Maxibloom only diet throughout the entire grow, with alittle calmag, however they start better on Maxigro, no kidding

Great pictures. Do you have any shots of the same strain using the different nutes? Some strains bulk better than others. Your plants and buds look real nice.

Thank you...

No, I usually only grow one plant of each strain.

I understand it isn't a fair comparison of nutrients and yields but both grew healthy vigorous plants.

Looking for the perfect smoke you know ;)

MaxiGrow, Liquid KoolBloom, and Dry KoolBloom are not necessary............waste of money.

MaxiGro and MaxiBloom are the exact same prices, so using MaxiGro for the first few weeks would not change the overall price per grow.

I use MaxiBloom from start to finish, but I'm considering buying some MaxiGro because there no additional cost other than buying the bag of MaxiGro, which will only prolong the lifespan of the bag of MaxiBloom.

Good to know, but I've been using MaxiBloom for decades and I have no intention of changing.........a few dollar savings means nothing to me.

Are you using coco or soil? Sorry if I missed that. I’m trying maxi bloom only in coco DTW with no cal mag to see if the maxi will carry them without adding cal/mag
I’m using flora nova bloom for my current run but I have to add cal/mag so trying the maxi bloom on some clones as a test.
I think the maxi bloom will work fine without adding the extra cal/mag but seeing what others think.
Also I found the 16lb maxi bloom for 72 bucks with shipping so that’s super cheap since I’m only using 2grams per gallon

I've used MaxiBloom from start to finish in coco and soil. No calmag and no problems. In fact I never use calmag regardless of whether I'm growing hydro, coco, or soil. All you have to do is use nutrients that already have enough of both in them. The cheaper dry nutrients usually have everything the plant needs unlike some of the fancy cannabis specific bottled nutes that leave things out so they can sell you more different bottles.

Also, unless there is legitimate reason not to, for instance being on a well with extremely hard water then always use tap water which will have calcium in it.
