I started with GH Grow and Bloom (gave it 3.7 out of 5 star)

Tried General Organics for a run (hated it. nasty, awful smelling and disgusting)

Moved to Lucas Formula using GH dry nutes what im using now (give it a 3 for veg and a 4 for flower. Hate the constant need for Ph up)

Thinkin about giving CNS17 a shot for a couple of runs. I appreciate its simplicity and the price is hard to argue as well.

I use Sunshine Advanced #4. Coco with Mykos


What have you tried and whats your experience?

Have not found a reason to stop using Biotanicare products...

Reasons to use Biotanicare:
*Tested in Arizona
*Manufactured in Arizona
*Employees Arizonians
*Feeds Arizonians
*Brings money to Arizona's economy

Just a few reasons...

Aside from the fact that is is good for the local economy, it is also cheaper to run than most others. GH is the cheapest but not comprehensive. Botanicare is great because they make a lot of great additives. If yih are using the Lucas formula then you never use the grow. Just the micro and the the bloom that's how you use it in bloom and in veg. I am also running the GO line right now on one tent so I can compare organics. The plants look great and the buds are real sticky but the size development is lacking. Some of the GO line I like the diamond black is a great product. The base nutrients are alright.and the organic calmag is OK but not the best. There is one product which I use with everything and gives me the same stellar results and that is hygrozyme. I use it with every feeding and sometimes alone between feedings. It is the shit and helps in so many ways. The only downside is it is a little expensive especially if you run it a lot like I do. But the price is definitely worth it in the end. If you are using an enzyme product and it isn't hygrozyme then I highly suggest you switch. I have tried sensizyme and it does not hold a candle to this product. Another great product which I use on all my plants is bud candy. This is the only AN product which I think is truly better than any other. I have tried a bunch of other sweeteners. Like sweet from botanicare and Humboldt honey I also have run mollasses and still do but only for last 10 days. Bud candy is actually organic and makes my buds smell more and stockier. What else I could go on and on about products. What's about beneficial fungi products what have you guys found and which ones have you used?

That store has horrible customer service imo.

Ill use either GO, Botanicare, or some teas. Ive tried GO, Botanicare, H&G Coco and Aqua Flakes (MINIMAL difference between the two), Canna biovega, Floranova, GH, Fox Farm. Going to try out Cutting Edge next, and maybe Age Old and Nutrifield.

I recently switched to Humax instead of Diamond Black, it doesnt have the potash in it, but it contains a greater percentage of humic acid and cheaper too
