Based on the NPK content, it looks identical to DG's 'grow' formula which works great in veg and flower actually.

Ya I thought so too, so what would make this nutrient solution any better at keeping plants short and thick, or "bonsai like?" I'm gonna see if I cant find exactly what elements and how much there are of each of them in the solution and post them here and compare them to their grow formula. I don't see Dyna-Gro as the type of company who would just reproduce their grow formula and sell it as something else claiming it is good for Bonsai type plants. Maybe I am wrong though, I will find out..

Ya so I just checked the labels of the grow and the bonsai pro... they are the exact same down to the .0001 percent, but the Bonsai cost more. What the hell DG!!?? lol, I guess maybe cause they are marketing the Bonsai Pro to a different customer base. Who knows, oh well.

Bonsai pro isn't listed on DG's website so maybe that's just an older bottle?

People like their foliage pro (9-3-6) as I've read papers about a higher phosphorus content inducing stretch in plants. If I was shooting for 'short and thick' on the veg side, I'd look into higher wattage and a better spectrum like a 1000watt CMH bulb.

As far as their 7-9-5 grow is concerned, it will grow bushy plants and stretchy plants, but that's completely dependent on the genetics.
