how do gardeners guage the efficacy of microbes, chelates, humates, etc, etc...? are these purely for aromatics, taste, aesthetics, etc?

maybe could create a scale to measure these various 'enhancers' 'tonics' 'food grade items' 'feed grade items' etc...

Just to be clear, this just a simple side by side, the results would hopefully show some differences, what type?, I don't know, hence the side by side, I am not sure how gardeners gauge the efficacy of microbes etc, other than simply using them, I am sure there are 1% of gardeners who are scientifically minded who will go further into any subject, I call them 'teachers' ( I have you in there :o) ), but seriously I think most gardeners, - forgetting weed a minute - try products for whatever reason, hype, friends recommendations whatever!, but stick or fold based on the results they see, no chromatograph or slide rule, just observations and then if it is a food item, taste and yield. I would hope, not that I expect, but would hope to see that Canna Boost produces buds 12 x bigger, stronger and more fragrant than Molasses, well! it costs 12x more!!!!, which brings me on to our Bonecarver

"I always thought it made sense that the Boost increases the metabolic rate and the Molasses fuels the process"

Mr B'

hehe i wish plants were that simple BUT it is not so. this statement is very simplyfied and almost missleading.

I never said it was so, I said I always thought it made sense, it does!, make sense I mean!, It was in answer to this from darookie

With canna boost accelerating metabolism, it might help to feed more to see if that makes a difference. I had a K deficiency the day after I added boost, so it definitely does something. I am using both molasses and boost together, and noticing a much stronger smell than I had seen last round.

5Lts of Molasses for £7, fantastic!, thanks for the tip and the link

OK, the girls have been on their diets for a week, 2 weeks into 12/12 in total, not a lot to see so I wont post a load of pic's of stems, as there is a lot of haze in these plants the flowers do start slow, you can see here from this morning. I will start pulling each pair out to photo weekly from day 21, hopefully there will be something to see?

Hi all, first off Bonecarver I'm a big fan, and consider you as my greatest mentor so thanks for that. I've learnt more from your project eden thread than anywhere else. Anyway, were you suggesting panela be used in conjunction with blackstrap molasses, or just using one of them? If so what kind of ratio do you use. Thanks

[Wait...What?]

Week 3 into 4 is when my ph-related issues always started to show up. So, I'm looking forward to the next round of pics.

Boost works well and so does the other . I like Boost but the economy makes it a bit tough
