Learning Brand Names is not the same as learning soil chemistry.

Once you have a Baseline soil (which may be a brand name) it's very much worth the trouble to learn to do Hot Composting and to make your own Quality soil.

Any Americans here. Would you use ounces. To calculate your stock solution. So you add 1/2 dry ounce of Athena bloom per gallon. Or would you rather use 14gram of Athena per gallon?
maybe a little late here but we like ml/gal or gr/gal. also wanted to say 6m 9b (2:3 m:b) is for coco, or coco dominant media and 1:2 m:b is for everything else. like another poster said i think a more inert media would give slightly clearer results but something is better than nothing. looking forward to any new experiments.

Hi mate , well done for great job, you have done experiment on different nutrients can you tell us which one gave you the best results , which one was cheap and still gave you grate results and which one you were not that happy with? If you give us that feedback that will help others especially new starters to start with a reliable brand.

Thanks mate .

Well I found the mix I made based of the studies. The most consistent. Infact I'm still using a version of that now a year later with great success. Soo basically mix your own. For Europe Yara brown/orange is a good start. In USA I'm not Shure jacks seems to be the popular one.

You cant compare nutes if you are going to use boosters and or enzymes with certain nutrients and not on others. your results would not have been true to the nutes.
When I compare nutes i use only the base nutes. so far I have not seen much difference between one and another salt fertilizer even comparing with pure blend pro which i half synthetic and half organic.
