I have used Bush Master and Gravity, and now going to try Purple Maxx.

Bush Master stunts growth and pulls nodes in, basically throws them into flower. I use 1/4 of the recommended dose and just run it for one day in between Veg/Flower. My local hydro guy recommended that and it works great! If your buds are kind of spread out, or you just want to shorten the flower period a bit this is a good product.

It is a kelp based product and is basically poisining the plant, so use very sparingly. Like I said, 1/4 of recommended dose for just one day is a lot more gentle.

Gravity totally intensifies the density of the bud...takes down the fluff factor...

FYI - I use the Canna product for nutirents because it is perfect PH for me and Sweet Leaf for carbo boost.

I'm going to try purple maxx to see if it helps increase oil/resin...

Purple Max really increases trichome production. Its nickname is "Snowstorm" because it looks like the flowers have a bit of snow on them...

I've switched over to the Bloom products for everything else...

When using the purple maxx did what did you have your ppm adjusted to for last 3 weeks of flowering?

i kept my ppm @ 6.1/5.9. i constantly change it to range between 6.8 and 5.8/9. I find altering the ppm helps keep things like powdery mildew low.

I have a questioning concerning the problems with the soil after one is done using it. I hear adding gravity to the soil inoculates the soil with some toxins that render the soil useless. And that it can be bad to potentially dump on your land. anyone have any info on this one?

PPM is parts per million which is the measure of dissolved salts in your hydroponic nutrient solution, and is not a factor in soil growing, what you were speaking of is PH which is the measure how acidic or alkaline your growing media is. And no i have not heard that about products such as gravity.

It's not just hype, these products do exactly what they are supposed to do.bushmaster is wonderful for shorter fuller and faster flowering plants, gravity gives you denser buds, and snow storm drastically increases resin and essential oils(thc).if you don't get those results, then you done it wrong or you have a shitty strain.

I stay away from bush master... other than that I think GanjaGood hits it on the head. Oh yea I use purple maxx and it kicks butt. I use in with my normal feeding at half dose for the last 30 days of flower.. I have been spraying them with snow storm foe 30 days at this point and continue till 14 days till flush at a rate of 2.5 ml per gal. Use P.M. till flush. I love it and have proven this product in side by side tests. I use soilless and Advance nut. Sensi grow 1&2 for veg and Connoisseur 1&2 for flower...

Gravity and Bushmaster are no longer allowed to be sold in the state of california. That should tell you something about those products. Carcinogenic.

Any proof or citation of this? Been doing a lot of research on these products as I have seen results but am skeptical of the true ingredients. A quick search yielded no mention of HCO's products being banned.

In fact, they are carrying two products that, at least to me are new - Killer Tea and Crystal something

I've called numerous shops in socal and they all said that indeed Gravity and Bushmaster are no longer allowed to be sold by their distributors because these products contain PGR's (Plant Growth Regulators) and that the state of california says these are known to cause cancer, (um hello... what about cigarettes??). At the same time a few places went on to tell me that they've seen this happen to other products before and that after some label changes those products were back on the shelves in a few months. But do ya really want to put stuff in your girls that could potentially be real bad for you?

This post was from another site on Bushmaster and Gravity being banned:

"Supposedly, it is a matter of labeling, not the stuff itself being banned outright, so it may come back on the market, eventually. If you read the label, it is deliberately vague...they say it's .75% ascophuyllum nodosum kelp extract, and .01% B1...the same exact stuff is available in many other products, although I am not aware of anything else that effectively does what Bushmaster does.

I suspect that Emerald Triangle didn't want the original label on the products to have a full list of ingredients...probably because they know savvy growers can get the same basic stuff, from another source, for far cheaper.

Far easier, to charge a premium, for an unlisted "magic ingredient"...if the product works, people will tell their friends about it, and only the most diligent growers will bother to find out what is actually in the stuff, and where to get it.

Which begs the question: What is in this stuff? Most likely, a combination of auxins and giberellins, but maybe in a specific ratio?

If anybody knows, please chime in..."
