But they aren’t giving out new products to sample without testing which is what I think they were implying. Are the products really overpriced? I spent $550 last year when they were on sale and I’ve already had 6 harvests this year with it. And I still have enough to get me past December with ease. If I’m spending less than $100 per harvest that seems pretty reasonable
$100 in nutrients will last me a few years. That's with a 2x4 veg tent, a 4x4 flower tent and 3 harvests. I'm fiddling around outdoors in the summer with organics so I don't use any purchased nutrients for that grow.
Their core is basically just calcium nitrate with a few micronutrients and is listed on their site at $200 for 25 lbs. I can get a 50 pound bag of calcium nitrate for $40 and a 25 pound bag of Jacks 5-12-26 for $50 and have a complete fertilizer. That's less than half the price to make 50 lbs of a nutrient mix. If you want to add some more P/K at flower then a 5 lb bag of MKP for $30 and it's still much cheaper and you'll have enough calcium nitrate and MKP to mix with another $40 bag of the 5-12-26. So yes their nutrients are expensive. I won't call them overpriced because they're still cheaper than most cannabis specific nutrients and if they can get the prices they charge then why shouldn't they charge what they do. I have nothing against businesses making money.
I just think what they have on their samples page and what they do themselves is at odds. They chastise other companies for doing the same things they are doing.
