Alright, thanks a lot.

Yeah, I have this happen more with my Super Plant Tonic than the others, though the Flower Power does it too (I think from the molasses...not sure about that one though).
If I haven't used them in a couple days I like to screw the cap on tight and give them all a good shake, just to keep the little guys in there alive and kicking.
I was reading a thread (maybe this one, can't remember) where Ohsogreen recommended pouring Super Plant Tonic into an empty bottle periodically to help the micro-organisms. I haven't tried this yet, but once I get an empty SPT bottle I will.

Im totally hooked on BMO. There arent a lot of organic hydro growers out there so I thought Id post some of my progress with BMO hydro. My grow is all BMO, except for the pH down (I use technaflora, nitric acid based product). Im using Grow it Green and Super Plant Tonic right now and have noticed that you really dont need the recommended levels for hydro at all.
Many people suggest that hydro needs 1/2 of the concentrations described on the BMO bottle. However, Ive gotten nice results with 1/4 concentrations (or using 1/2 concentration less often). I use the term "hydro" broadly when in fact it may depend a lot on the type of hydro system you have. I have a 6 plant large DWC, perhaps its more efficient with nutes than other systems.
Im still in the veg phase but Im keeping good records so Ill come up with an optimized BMO hydro nute schedule when Im done. I posted some pics below:
Pic 1 - plants recovering in a mini DWC cloner after a soil grow gone wrong
Pic 2 - two weeks in the mini DWC
Pic 3 - moved to the large DWC (still 2 weeks)
Pic 4 - 21 days
Pic 5 - 24 days
Pic 6 - mg deficiency at 24 days (common problem with BMO, easily fixed with epsom salt and pulverized dolomite lime added to the res)
Pic 7 - 28 days
Pic 8 - nice healthy roots
Im starting the flower at day 35, you can follow my BMO grow using the link in my sig.

I ordered three bottles of the super plant tonic from BMO. I received an email stating that they sent out my order 2 days late and for their mix up they would be sending me a bottle each of the GIG and FP. Today I received my order and like they stated they sent me two free units. BMO is the BOMB!!!

My ladies had a rough start to life then bmo came along look at them now....
I usually feed, water with SPT, water in that rotation. I feed with GIG and some FH then wait till the pots dry out add in a solution of water with SPT, and the following time the pots dry out I give the plants a good watering.
BMO works well

OK ive decided to go with these for my first grow. Which should I use with the BMO line, soil or coco? I'm more concerned with quality over quantity as I am just growing for myself.
Also, are the super tonic and the foliar nutes realy necessary? Do they help versus just the GIG and FP?

Use soil, people say BMO doesn't work in coco. Just get something organic with good drainage. I've been using ocean forest with mine.
SPT is very important, but the foliar harmony not so much.

Is it safe to order this stuff online?

Is it safe to be on a forum discussing cultivation of an illegal plant?
It's plant fertilizer. There is nothing illegal about plant fertilizer.

Got the whole line for $22 including shipping, can't beat that anywhere, it's like $5/bottle.

Set up a rainwater barrel...well, that's the cheapest way, no tap water involved.
If you have to use tap water, I'd say a 4-6 stage reverse osmosis filtration system off ebay would do the trick...you don't want chlorine in the water your drinking either, it's a poison.

Or you could use pond chlorine/chloramine remover. Works just as good on the tap water.

just let it sit out for 24 hours, that's it.

I'm looking for a cheap way so no RO machine just yet. so far I've been leaving my water sitting for 24 to 48 hours. however, I have heard that some water companies are adding a form of chlorine that does not evaporate. I want to use something to make sure that if that form of chlorine is in my tap water i'm not killing the good stuff in BMO. Would de-chlorinator work on the non-evaporating chlorine? I assume I can buy de-chlorinator at a hydro store right?
thanks for the help guys

Fish tank de-chlorinator would probably work the same, at any pet store...I was just thinking long term with cheap solutions as you'd have to keep buying de-chlorinator.
