Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom (front 2.5-3-5, back 2.5-2-5) 7.0% Humic Acid? Error?

Hey all,
I picked up this bottle of Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom. There were 2 different bottles of it on the shelf, I assumed one was newer or something. The one I ended up getting is screwy though. I'm 99% sure this is actually the hydro version, I'm growing in soil but there were a couple of things that really caught my attention on this particular one. On the front it says for an NPK "2-3-5", but on the back it says:

-------------------------------------------
Guaranteed Minimum Analysis

Total Nitrogen (N) 2.5%
2.5% Water Soluble Nitrogen
Available Phosphate (P2O5) 2.0%
Soluble Potash (K20) 5.0%
Calcium (Ca) 1.0%
Magnesium (Mg) 0.5%

Non-Plant Food Ingredients

7.0% Humic acid derived from leonardite.
-------------------------------------------

The humic acid was a big part of why I chose to buy it. It all seemed kinda screwy, but it fit what I was looking for pretty well (and more), whether the phosphate was 2.0 or 3.0. Has anyone else out there encountered this, and/or figured out what's really in the bottle? I used the contact form on their web site, but I haven't got an answer yet. The analysis they have posted on their web site says it has 3.0% phosphate and only .15% humic acid. That would certainly be disappointing.

My bottle says the same thing as yours, minus the NPK typo.

Hrm... Does it say


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A premium one-part organic plant food to be used in soil container gardens or soilless hydrogardening applications.

Directions

Those are the only directions it lists for soil container gardens lol, to use another product altogether. Also, did you get your bottle recently or have you had it a while? I'm assuming its a newer one because they only had 2 bottles of the other kind on the shelf and probably 12 of these.

I guess on the front it does say "For Hydrogardens" at the bottom.

Yeah, mine says that but also has instructions for hydro. I buy it in 2.5 gallon containers and my container is about 8 months old. The dosing is way off though. You'll only need 5-7mls of flower formula per gallon during all of flower.

Weird, my flowering formula says 1-4-5 and on the front in does say for soil and coco, mine only has .35% humic acid.

Yeah that's HUGE humic acid, I wish they would respond to my Email. I'm not sure I believe there's really 7.0% humic acid. They would make you buy an entirely separate bottle for that, it seems like...

Never heard of this? Is it ph stable??

maybe a small typo?

in case you guys are still wondering. pure blend pro comes in both a hydrogarden formula (NPK 2-3-5) and a soil formula with less N and more P (NPK 1-4-5). I use both but would definately not recommend the hydro version in soil. I do however use the soil version in hydro in the last 4 weeks of flowering to reduce N content.

Hi,
I like this product as well. Using the bloom/veg and karma. Does anyone have advice on the feed schedule? It comes with one but I think it's off.

Pro Blend Bloom is for a recirculating hydroponic system in bloom, Pro Blend Soil is for a drain to waist hydroponic, soilless mix or soil garden, and Pro Blend Grow is for all systems in veg. They recently changed/tweaked the mix but your bottle should read 2.5-3-5 and does contain 15% Humric Acid. As for a feed schedule I recommend using the full schedule from there web site for your levels, and remember when using supplements like Liquid Karma use 25% less base nutes.
