Earth Juice Review

Do a google search on "top nutrient study earth juice" and you should stumble upon a great little read where he tests 8 nutrient lines (including earth juice). He tells you how he feeds them and gives you some good tips. As others have suggested the 3lb guides to earth juice, guano, molasses etc are must reads in my opinion.

When using earth juice I'd recommend using grow and bloom in conjunction, unless you are near the end of flowering then I'd use only bloom. Using them in conjunction with microblast and catalyst should cover just about any macro and micronutrient deficiency that can possibly occur, keeping your plants healthy throughout.

Good luck!

so i just bought some earth juice grow and cal-n-mag from the elements line and i opened the bottle and the liquid inside is completely clear no smell or anything. is this normal? from the posts above i would think its not but it could be a different line. i know from using other nuetreints that most shit is brown in color and smells like ass. any help would be awsome because then i get to drive down to my grow store and bitch them a new one. thanks ahead of time
The grow and bloom are both very smelly, with tons of undissolved solids. You should almost see a mud like mixture in there.

maybe you got a rotten bottle or somethin. My earthjuice original formula smells good. A little funky but good and its white and milky not muddy at all.

EJ has tons of variation from liquid to solid and any natural color can occur depending on the batch. If you can get it out of the bottle its ok IMO. Bubbling like AACT helps if you are doubting the juice!

tsmokin - elements line is full synth from same company. Dont bitch out the dro store guy, you'll just be another angry grower. They get that a lot and i'm sure it gets old. You'll get better service if you are humane.

I contacted EJ and they said that the Cal-n-Mag is infact clear and almost oderless and the same went with the Grow. When in contact with them they told me to get the microblast and catalyst also and if i use all that i should be fine. They also said to use the micro sparingly. So from what they told me the Elements line Grow and Cal-n-Mag are clear and dont smell very much if at all. I cant say anything about the bloom because i am choosing to use the sweet and heavy line instead of the elements. as for my feeding, some of my plant like it a lot and some just arent taking it as well. just a little burn on some of them. guess i got to tone it down just a bit. thanks for the reply guys, this site is the shit!!! helps me everytime

i didnt have great results with rainbow mix, my best have been done with sunleaves guano

you were right about earth juice rainbow mix, i switched to roots uprising and wow whata difference. bigger buds, frostier too. its like i got all brand new strains. i didn't know what i was missing. i was about to get rid of a few strains too. now I'm going to wait on that.

I use a combination of dry organic nutrients (Espoma), guano from Sunleaves and Earth Juice. I brew AAC\guano teas and use Earth Juice products in those as well, particularly the Catalyst which is awesome for carbohydrates.

The Grow I have noticed has a tendency vary in thickness from muddy to a thick liquid depending on the bottle. It doesn't smell like roses or anything, but I wouldn't say it smells too bad. The Bloom on the other hand is always more fluid, and freshly opened bottles always smell pretty sweet and delicious to me.

You really need a good amount of lime in your mix when using EJ, even bagged potting mixes should get at least an additional tablespoon of pulverized limestone, oyster or eggshell, per gallon of mix. Especially if you don't plan on aerating the fertigation solution prior to using.

What he's telling you is that you bought the wrong bottles. You bought the synthetic line, not the organic line. That's why no smell and clear color.

I use a combination of EJ and Aurora Roots Organic. Roots for Gro and Bloom, EJ for Catalyst, K, Trace.
I've never restricted myself to one line of nutes. These two lines are both very good.
I also aerate my nute mixes for about 24 hrs.

Thanks for replying aisach... funny you should mention your nute reg... I've been using EJ Grow/Bloom and Catalyst and have a sampler of RO's Gro and Bloom arriving today in the mail... any specific reason you can suggest using Aurora's basic (grow/bloom) stuff compared to the EJ grow/bloom?

Also what is K and Trace and what function do they serve in your garden? Are they also organic products?

Bless

^^ K refers to Potassium (the last number in NPK values), and Trace, is trace minerals needed by the plant for complete growth / flowering.

I like Earth Juice, Age Old, and BMO (Blue Mountain Oranics), if you ever start using their Super Plant Tonic, regardless of which brand you run, you'll keep using it.

Sorry. No Internwt for a bit. I tried the Root Organic Veg and Bloom and liked them better than EJ. Mostly the smell and the consistency. They are thick and organic looking. And planties loved them.
Would like to check out Age Old and BMO but I havent seen them in store.

I'm going to agree with Roots over EJ as far as base nutes go (Buddha G/B)... switched over and my ladies swelled more in 36 hours than I've seen the whole cycle. Still using the EJ Catalyst though... it's there best selling bottle for a reason... great earthy red wine smell.

You said you use EJ for Catalyst, K, Trace... are you referring to Meta-K and MicroBlast specifically?

Also I see tons of hype on Bud Candy... so its more than a fancy bottle it seems...

thanks fellas.

Shit, lol

Just bought a bottle of EJ and opened it, now I cannot exchange for RO...which costs almost the same at hydro store.

Yes, I believe so. Catalyst...isn't that the one that smells like BBQ sauce? (or wine) Smells awesome.
Havent tried Bud Candy. What is it's use?

That's too bad but hey-- EJ is good stuff too. You gotta understand that I'm new at this and EJ was a little out of my league due to the lack of a real specific feeding cycle... having several strains going doesn't help either as some are super hungry and a couple hate nutrients it seems (Presidential Kush). With EJ, I would start with a high dosage and then turn up or down from there... if you're in soil, definitely feed then water then feed then water.
