decided to try this on my current grow after reading some positive things about it on the interwebz, and after talking to the guys at the grow shop...

After reading more last night however, I am confused...

the label on my says 0-0.7-0

the label on the online pictures of the product says 0-7-0 ?

Are there two different mixtures out there???

I'm sure it's 0-7-0. I was just thinking I need to get a bottle for my next round. I use Age Old bloom as an early flower additive and Bud Swells makes a great additive late in flower. Both improve flavor and help raise ph as GO and other nutes drop ph too much for my liking. What's your primary nute?

Hiding,
You could make a case for overpriced, but with junk, you're on very shaky ground. -granger

It stinks to high heaven. Spill Budswel and it will over stink your room in amazing ways. Works great as a stink bomb if you put some in a jar and let it sit in the sun...

But I would not trust its manufacturer with a dead gnome, so I don't use it anymore.

So which sunleaves product would be a good alternative to budswell as a tea for during flowering....?

Im very curious about this statement as well. I have friends who have been killing it w this stuff for years. The ol' 'shit n sugar' diet for the ladies. On the other hand I personally think the flavor of over guano'd weed is typically offensive.

I've been using Budswell dry to make high P-K teas. When I use it up, I'll probably try Earth Juice Big Bloomin' Guano, a liquid, 0-4-0. I've been told by someone who uses and likes it that it "doesn't stink too bad." Good luck. -granger

Jamaican or Indonesian are the two of the four for bloom....the Peruvian and Mexican guanos are more for flower by the numbers on em....i think that is right....if you look at the first two the middle number is high....i bought a big bag of Jamaican....lol...i had really good results with budswel though.....dj

Update...

Chopped and dried one plant that had Budswell used on it, the second one is finishing up now.

I started using Budswell from about Day 25-30. Every watering both plants would get 2 tablespoons of this stuff dumped into a gallon of water...no aerating, just mixed and used right away.

I am actually very impressed with the final product...tric production on both plants seems to be heavier than Ive seen with this strain before (Critical +), and the aroma of the finished product is a tad bit better than what Ive gotten before with this strain.

Yield wise, I didn't really see a big increase in yield (2.5 oz from one 3 foot plant so far), but the quality of the bud is actually better than what I was previously getting.

Not a truly scientific test by any stretch of the imagination, but I am seeing enough of a difference using this stuff to justify the price...

I've been using budswell for a while and like it, although my containers don't seem to stink anymore which kinda weirdos me out.

California requires the dry compost to be set on fire and than the npk rating set. Same product ones just dry from what our rep told us.
