any of you ever try bloombastic......

[redheadfreakin]

Bloombastic is 14x as expensive as a clean pk booster like Pure Flowers (which uses higher quality ingredients) when used at the same ppm.
It is just a pk boost with seaweed.
That is it.
Any decent pk boost will give you "bling" when used properly.
This is sucker marketing, pure and simple.

I used it. I love it! Been using this for bout 2 yrs. had to go some cycles without because i could not get it and was sad yes sad. expensive yes / worth the money yess. Like they were saying you only use a little of the stuff and it does good. One bottle does like 4 cycles for me running 1600 watts. BUT I have never tried anything similar, only used koolbloom+sweet as additive before this. Added more trichs (noticeably) tasted better (noticeably). Just my opinion

 

[Cutty]

Am I picking up that all the people who haven't tried it think it's a waste, while the people who have tried it think it is worth it.

It's like the guy driving the Kia Sepheia talking trash about the businessman driving the Mercedes S600.
While later that night at a downtown bar, fellow businessmen are discussing the merits of German engineering, and the Kia driver with his 100,000 mile/10 year warranty is broken down.

 

[redheadfreakin]

You would be wrong in my case.
I got a bunch of free bottles at a garden show last year and ran 96 plants under 6k watts.

I don't think you understand.
Carbohydrates come in many forms, most commonly sugars/molasses when used in plant nutrients, and they will be listed on the labels if they are in there.
It won't say carbohydrates, it will say molasses, cane sugar, etc...
They are not in Bloombastic according to Atami, the company that makes it.

Your words make sense,but I'm pretty sure is mainly a carbo-supplies.IMO elements listed on the label are not all and the other components such simple sugars like maltose,fructose,xilose and\or polysaccharides like cellulose are not listed.why?I don't know,maybe for business...but believe me...if you smell it you can smell the sweet...so sweet that maybe taste good to me
where that sweet come from?I believe there are a lot of differents sugars inside...


However,I have a bottle because one of my friend gave me as gift but I'm running hydro and IMO it doesn't worth the price,absolutely not.In soil...maybe...but FOR ME in hydro DWC it's very expensive!

Next time I will try a different product for my hydro setup...will see.

PS:don't think a pk-booster does the same than a carbo supplement.They act in different ways.Here you can find some infos on sugars:http://www.maximumyield.com/article_sh_db.php?articleID=341&yearVar=2008&issueVar=January/February

and here you can find a comparation between cannaboost and molasses if someone is interested:

edit:
pps:The sugars are often the ''secret'' ingredients of many organic fertilizers producers.Biomagno,an Italian producer use beet stillage in his bloom stimulator for istance

I just grabbed a bottle yesterday, it came highly recomended by one of my mentors. He has over 15 years of growing experience, and is likes to keep it SUPER simple...It may be just what i was looking for

 

[noreason]

just because I needed to understand...I sent a mail at Atami and Erwin answered me(thanks Erwin)

I don't post all the mail,try to don't break forum rules,if someone want more info PM me

.....Off course you can post my response.
The answer would be yes Bloombastic contains natural carbohydrates.
Please understand that carbohydrates are a very large group of molecules.

The science behind Bloombastic is very high end and was done over a period of close to 26 years of research.
Off course we can not satisfied every grower. But we will do our very best to achieve just that. It hurts to read that people think it is just a marketing hype. But as I said we cannot please everyone on the planet.

If someone has a question please let them drop me a line on ***

(if someone want to contact Erwin PM me,I don't post his mail address here because I don't know if I can)


So,by an official source I know BB is a carbo-supplement,also if no-one carbohydrate is listed on the label.
This is my opinion...even if I thinks it's too expensive for me in a hydro setup.

 

[frikn squirrel]

I got a sample bottle and ran it along side other bloom boosters and did not notice any difference... I read that it was an all in one bloom supplement so I did not add things like humic acid, carbs, seaweed, or PK boost... I still have half of a bottle to try at some point...

 

[HBxNLmaster]

hmm well taht would be nice if it would replace like sweet, carboload, and big bud it would be worth it, i might try a DWC bucket of this beside the other metioned above and see if it works as well if it does it is worth the money otherwise prob not

where did you guys get the free sample at i would like to get one

 

[rastaone]

Free samples ?

My garage is full with Nutes for about 6-7,000 $ and I did not pay a single cent. Every year I take the time once to write the nute companies and ask for samples. Some are very generous (Cutting Edge, Humbold, Dutch Master, House & Garden), some not (AN, FF, Biobizz).
Some onyl give out samples at Conventions. So I usually travel to SF and LV for the Expos. I registered even a business for that so I can get in at the buyers days.

Bloombastic is good stuff and I use it regularly. I have about 100 25ml sample bottles from the Las Vegas Indoor Expo It is not easy to describe how it works and I talked . Very important is that the plant has to be super healthy to get the full effect. But I guess that's the same with every additive.

Running two Blue Venom clones side by side I had about 15% more yield with BB than without. I guess that is worth the price. Also it replaces, when used properly, Sweetener Bloomboster and PK. So it is not additional cost.

Try to attend a indoor gardening or hydro show in your area, there are tons of vendors and they usually bring truck fulls of free samples!

 

[Lazyman]

I use it and like it, got me a huge bottle from a hydro show rep too. When i run out I'll go pack to powedered KoolBloom, cheap and effective.

I'm giving it a shot right now using strictly maxibloom + bloombastic @1mL per gal. In coco.

Started using it every watering at the end of week 3.. or so and plan to use it throughout the bulking phase.

Will try to get some shots up.

Regardless of cost I think its good stuff. Looking at golf ball sized nuggets just going into week 4.

$90 will take me through an entire 5400w grow using it every watering weeks 3-8. If anyone thinks thats expensive and is that concerned about cost they might as well turn off the lights and quit smoking.

Hell buying 7 grams of weed once that'll last you a few days tops is more expensive then using bloombastic.

I dont usually use any additives on top of a simple CHEAP base nutrient like flora micro/bloom or maxibloom. Its not because I'm cheap, but more because I dont have the time nor want to stand around mixing nutrients up when I can get just as good as results without. If bloombastic does ANYTHING either in weight gain or quality gain its a winner in my book. ..and after a single dose in a previous grow and what I've seen so far - I'm confident that it will.

+1, A whole bunch of numbers can be difficult to comprehend but this comment targets the high grower perfectly. I am sure there are a lot of light bulbs are turning on right now....

"Ohhhh, it's less than a quarter?"

 

[Cutty]

Just checking in to see if you got your bloomblastic and if you have started applying it yet. I am on my second week of it and OH my god. Trichy Trichy! I am doing two 4x4 e&f trays, one has the PPP's in it and the other has some nice Reservoir ChemdogKush. As you might guess the PPP's are maturing faster than the CDK and I am floored at the trichome development all over the plant. This is the third time I have run these PPP's and I have never had trichomes all over the fan leaves and coating the stems. The plants look as if they have the hook side of some clear Velcro all over them.

The CKD just got their res changed last night and are starting their second week of Bloomblastic too. I expect the CDK to really stack on some weight this week and am excited to see how the trichomes develop. The CDK's still have an impressive amount of trichome coverage for their stage in growth.

Still a while to go but Bloomblastic may end up being as common as cal-mag around here.

Again, I have never had this amount of trichome coverage this early in flower. Hell even at the last harvest I didn't have this amount of trichomes on the ancillary leaves.

SOLD!

This stuff is very concentrated which of course makes it fairly inexpensive. I don't usually use flowering boosters of any kind, but I'm going to be adding Bloombastic to my Maxibloom/Floro+/H&G roots excel trifecta and see what happens through a run. It is supposed to be, according to Atami's advertising an all-in-one booster, accelerator, hardner and flower enhancer. That's very appealing to me, I enjoy simple one part products.

 

[Cheeb]

I havnt been able to get shots of the maxibloom / bloombastic garden but it is looking ridiculous. Very fat dense buds and we havn't even reached the time where bulking normally occurs.

All should be great provided we dont run into mold issues due to density.

- just found charger for the camera so I'll be tossing some pics up asap.

 

[Cutty]

I too am eerily ahead of schedule for bulking. Not just trichome coverage but the actual flower mass.

 

[Cutty]

Week 5 of flower

Week 2 of Bloomblastic

Working in a grow shop for a while now, i have come to realize that bloombastic frosts your plant with crystals, and Swells calyxes ALOT.. but taste will not be very pronounced... after a couple tests with a few growers, Only the Very experienced ones got something Great with Bloombastic... We had 3 very different strains growing all on the same schedule, and although they tasted and smelled different, they always had a similarity.... And i believe that is due to the Bloombastic...
if you ask me, Nothin beats guano as a bloom enhancer....!! Obviously i shouldnt tell people this cause we would sell nothing but guano in the shop, and if you learn how to make guano tea... Youll virtually never need to come back and buy....
Save your money, use Guano

Peace
