damn good stuff, has everything you need, vitamins, aminos, silica, pk booster....
just add a base nutrient and maybe a sugar product in flowering and your good!

Yep I love. It really lasts forever too.
There is no wondering if it's working either. Results in 3 days that you can see.

If I owned a hydro shop and had products that cost $130/quart, I'd be pushing that garbage too.
Maybe garbage was the wrong word; snake oil is what I should have said.
Proof or GTFO!
From their website:
If you can't see past the snake oil sales pitch then I can only recommend reading a book on plant nutrition and the role of the essential elements. It'll save you a lot of money in the long run.
Here's a start

Lol Snake oil it's not.
It's like someone poured thrichomes all over your plants, in just a few days.
Also, you need to use so little. I use 60ml for my 30 gal res. The one bottle I have has lasted over a year.

Works. Buy it.
Using it at 2ml a gallon, it's not very expensive.
Have you used Bloombastic? Most people that criticize a product, actually have experience using it. If you have not tried it , then shut the fuck up, because you are talking out of your ass.
Chances are I run one of the least expensive nute profiles on this site. Chances are I have read just as many books on marijuana botany, probably more. And chances are I have run more grows using Bloombastic, than most on here.

How old are we here? Why is this so personal for you? Growing healthy, resinous plants isn't a magic act. Anything of substantial value to your plant can be found on the Guaranteed Analysis and when you compare this $130/quart product to any other 'blossom booster', you'll quickly see that it's all sizzle.
How many botanists are using Boombastic? Got any peer-reviewed journals on this product from a university?
Maybe you should also add this link to your library:
Snake Oil, Horticultural Myths, Horticultural Urban Legends, and Persuaders....

No boombastic needed

i had used 2 little sample bottles on one of my grows and i really didnt see much of a difference. trichs blowing up in 3-4 days? i think not. 98% of resin development is in the genetics imo.
now if someone had a grow log of a plant/strain that didnt produce a lot of resin, but did another run using bloombastic, and that same low resin strain suddenly burst with trichome development, that may persude someone to use it.

Nice plants. Pretty frosty.
So have you used Bloombastic, or are you just spouting off again? I like to hear from folks who have actual experience with products, before they make a comment.
It's cool if you have never tried it, that just means your opinion is fairly worthless. Thanks for the link though. People like you are great at linking shit, but when it comes down to the actual topic at hand, have no REAL experience for themselves. It's annoying. If you had any REAL experience, you would know that BB is applied in very small amounts, making it last a long time.
I have been growing for awhile now, and have done it pretty much any way one can. Bloombastic with the H3ad formula works good enough for me. Don't need a peer-reviewed journal, when I'm pulling 2#s per 1k, of frost covered nugs. Furthermore, you will be hard pressed to find a less expensive nutrient profile, than mine.
What nutes do you actually use? I was using GH then switched to the cheaper Jungle Juice. 6ml micro, 9ml bloom, Cal Mag as needed (usually strain specific), and 2ml per gallon of Bloombastic towards the end of flower. Basically the H3ad formula with a little tweaking here and there. Low PPMs, low cost.
Can't argue with results.

i have used bloombastic with success in my earlier grows...its cool because you only need a small amount, and you only need to apply it maybe twice in week 5-6...
on the flip side....i have done runs without bloombastic and still gotten pretty quality nugs, but ive added other bloom enhancers instead like beastie bloomz....
so basically....most flower enhancers in late flower work well lol....

I've been at this for almost 11 years. I've used enough of these types of products to now know a scam when I see one. Colorful bottles, quasi-scientific claims, I 'lived and learned' I guess.
The 'topic at hand' is not just boombastic but every expensive, unneeded additive on the market. Just like Boombastic, these products are aimed at newbs with more money than brains. Boombastic has an NPK ratio of 0-1-1 I believe which could help depending on the ratios of your base. BUT, any other product out there with a similar mineral makeup will perform very closely at a fraction of the cost. Should you even need a bloom booster to begin with, the question you should then ask yourself is; 'why aren't I getting better ratios out of my base nutrients?'
Just out of curiosity, what is the EC contribution of 1ml of this product to a gallon of RO water? You can use ppm if you'd like as long as you know the scale you're on.
News flash: you're not getting 2# per light because you use this product.
I now use DynaGro (which my local store needs to special order for me) but before I could see past the hydro store sales-pitch, I used GH, Botanicare and every type of additive under the sun. I now pull 18-21 ounces per 600 watter in my hydro tables (strain-dependent of course) and it costs me $14 in plant food to do so. It costs me half of that in my promix dirt pots. I use a base, an RO water add-back and a silica additive. I live for side-by-side tests and above all, I'm honest with myself about the true performance of a product.
So you have not used Bloombastic.
Good to know.

Mr Stainless pics is clearly killing the non bloombastic pics......
the pic difference should make you WANT to change over to using bloombastic!
Thanks Krunch! I appreciate that.
I could care less what he uses, how long he has been on icmag, yada yada yada.
It irks me that he posts that it is "garbage", and has never actually used the product.

DynaGro products suck balls. They are made from very cheap materials. Do you want your plants to eat a McDonalds cheese burger or a grass fed filet minion from a classy establishment?
I've never used Bloombasitic but I've heard good things. I personally like AN Big Bud,some damn good snake oil if you ask me.
DynaGrow however I do know is garbage that I would never feed my plants.
Word up.
