Nectar of the Gods

Growing organically should be very inexpensive IMO. I don't understand why people would pay so much for a fertilizer line.

^^^^^^^
What Pinecone said.
25# bag of EWC - $15
5# bag of high P guano - $8
Granulated kelp - $15
Hydrolated fish - $12
That's lasted for the last 3 months on my perpetual, and probably another month or so to go.
..Not to mention the fact that there's no measuring & mixing from different bottles.. It's literally a little'a this, a little'a that, a pinch'a that.. Bubble, feed, repeat.
You forgot the $3 bottle of molasses.
Pine
Yes! Too funny - mine is made by "House of Herbs."
Pinecone, quick question about the molasses. Is there any benefit to adding *just* molasses to water? Or is the idea strictly to provide some sugar for other microbes/bacteria/little guys to munch on (in an ACT application)?
Calcium based nutrients.... pretty cool imo.
Used to be called Harvest Moon, the guy who developed roots organic was kicked to the curb so he went down the street and opened this line. I know guys who used to drive from Colorado to Oregon just to get this guy's nutes.

i got a free sample pack of 12 of their products in the 500ml size (all products but Pegasus Potion and Hygea Hydration). what i noticed is that the NPK on the product line was horribly put together, a huge emphasis on p with no true K supplementation and only one product with decent N in it. that being said they smelled FANTASTIC, they were supplemented with some kind of mint extract and almost every product smelled pleasant (guano tea could be mistaken for mouthwash). i severely disliked the macro/secondary nutrient ratios but liked their additive line with zeus juice, posiedonzyme, athenas aminas and bloom khaos. i still haven't figured out what Aphrodite's extract (looks exactly like milk) is except a possible analog for root exudates . their pH adjusters were strong but were very unstable and pH drift was constant. they seemed rather diluted and IMO organics shouldn't come out of a bottle, and it should be cheap. it was free for me, but i wouldn't pay for it. just my 2 cents.

I also got a sample box... way to many products to use if you ask me... the one product that I did use and works great is their wetting agent
I got a sample case and just started using it on a group of seedlings that are about 3 weeks old. The day after the first feed, they were reaching to the sky and looking healthy, and then the next day i started noticing an iron deficiency on all of the top new growth. I did a foliar with some maxicrop to try hold them off until the coco dries out a little. Soggy medium can cause iron def, as well as ph above 6.5, excessive phosphorous, excessive calcium, and salt buildup. This line seems to have a lot of Potash and Calcium which could be the problem, we will see. Mom and pop or small time nutrient makers can be quite a gamble.

Shits the bomb! Shop gave me a sample pack as well. Everything is very vibrant and vigorous so far. No complaints here. Its Nectar For The Gods BTW...
Guys... you dont HAVE to use all 12 bottles.
Their original line-up consists of actually only 4 products used at around 1-2 tsp per Gal. At around $14-16 per Qt or so I think its rather reasonably priced for a true organic line. They only came out with the other products really as they launched the line nationally..well because people in this industry like to spend money..and profit aint a dirty word.....the 4 products under the simple regime have been sold in Oregon for some time now..
Plus.. the guys behind this line arent your advanced nutrients and botanicare sell out crap. They are normal people providing what appears to be a very high quality product to better the growers. I'm all for the little guy.
Liquid Karma is a perfect example of this.. Shit used to be the bomb with loads of humics and a dark rich color. Now.. Karma is crap as its been diluted and changed to line the pockets of big Agriculture.
Compare liquid karma to zeus juice (which appears to be straight humics) and I assure you you'll see what I'm talking about.
I'm a die hard GH grower (either lucas, maxibloom, or nova) so I know all about keeping it simple. Mixing up 4 bottles of this Nectar for the Gods line aint much harder.. I fail to see what is complicated about this line..?? Any regime is complicated if you continue to use more and more products, but thats the growers choice. Heck.. one could just use the Medusa's Magic from this line as a 1-part paired with some good soil and get great results...just sayin'/
* the good smell is MINT.. Its added for our nostrils to make mixing up this bone meal/ feather meal/ stinky stuff more enjoyable. The plants dont care either way and I was told the mint will start to go away if your not using it up fast. The mint is just offgassing revealing the true smell of the product...

Actually i just did a little side by side with Zeus juice and liquid karma the karma won the Zeus crap just made the room smell like shit but karma is worth every penny just my 2 cents
Not a fan of Liquid Karma anymore..its not near as good as it once was.
The stuff used to contain 20% humic acids (if thats even possible) and worked great. Unfortunately it now contains .5% humic acid. Botanicare claims this was done for labeling reasons and that the product didn't change, but its not near as dark as it used to be and does not work as well in my opinion.
Zeus Juice is 7% vs Liquid Karma 0.5%
// Otherwise I think you'll see better results using Floralicious Plus (2% humics and 20% kelp) or Fossil Fuel (10% humics) vs. using Liquid Karma.
Just my observations

Yeah I have used Liquid Karma for years, and have found that the formula has changed as well. It used to be such a good product. Use BioAg- Humic Acid or Floralicious Plus IMO
