Expensive shit

Expensive shit? Look at the ingredients of those hyped nutrients with shiny labels and cool sounding names. It's the same shit. calcium nitrate is calcium nitrate, monopotassium phosphate is monopotassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate is magnesium sulfate, etc... Most of the stuff is made in the same chemical factories. FACT. Vitagrow has been used by growers for over twenty years. It works without the hype because it provides plants with what they need. Cannabis is just another plant. It doesn't care if the nitrogen came diluted in a bottle or from a box of VitaGrow. VitaGrow, Jacks, Megacrop, etc... All inexpensive products that work just as good as those overpriced offerings that are more marketing than substance.

Yes, Exactly!!! Its the same shit as everything else. So why is it $60 for 10lbs? x 3.

Not sure why you're taking such offense from my statement/math. Invested interest perhaps?
Just saying it's expensive.

Oh, I thought you meant that it was literally shit. My bad. Well it's cheap compared to fancy label brands. But it probably is more than using Megacrop or Jacks. I do like like that it's three parts instead of one or two. It allows you to adjust it a little more. But now you've gotten me thinking. I think I can drop the MKP and just use parts A and B. But I'm also thinking of just buying a 50 lb bag of calcium nitrate for $27 and 50 Lb's of Peters Professional 5-11-26 for $85 and calling it a day. That's $112 for 100 lbs of fertilizer that would last me for years and years.

Started with fox farms,general hydro,earth juice & botanocare, I had shit quality with ffof & GE but could have just been me, I did have decent results with earth juice and botanicare.

moving to dry organics made everything A LOT more easier for me and for health of plants, happy plants = happy harvest.

I am about to switch from Masterblend to 5-11-26 myself(maybe). 25lbs for $55.00. from almost ANY(usa) hydro shop. So with calnit thats about $80. I don't consider magsulfate a big cost as its not used as much as the other 2 of 3 and its dirt cheap.
Sorry for the misunderstanding

Only thing id say is Be careful of the canna flush tho that shit is too easy to over use imo and fucks the taste up easily otherwise for synthetics canna isnt bad

There no reason to even use the Canna flush or any flush it's garbage. In my opinion and most all grow store's nothing is better then Canna. Alot of big farms use just A and B and have amazing gardens. All the other stuff is very expensive but worth it. There is no better boost then Canna Boost if you can afford it.

You do realize 4 -6 ounces easily pays for the cost difference...for a product that continously is shown to be used by top tier growers the world over...

This is why stoners make bad business discussions. Volume is king, pay 150 to make 600-900 more dollars or...inversely spend 400-600 less dollars on other pot...hell grow an extra flavour...

Baby went out with the bath water there

I lied. I decided not to switch. There is nothing wrong with Masterblend.

What Masterblend are you using? The 4-18-38 combined with calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate? I was pricing things out and that is a really inexpensive combination and has everything a plant needs.

Just lurking.Looking for an alternative to Megacrop. They keep switching up their versions.I've run Jack's successfully before MC.I like that it's "clean".
Shipping on the sizes I want suck. Also,my local brick & mortar no longer carries Jack's or any other Dry fert,which sucks also.
I really want to try soil indoors too. Too many options and variables to account for.

So have been using fox farm nutrients for years and I feel that there’s definitely some inconsistencies with grow big (magnesium mostly) and that fox farms feeding charts go way to heavy on the nutes. Thinking about switching to a different line cause I’m finding it impossible to hone in the correct ratios of ff in flowing. What’s your favorite nutrients and why?

Left fox farm nutes for advanced nutrient solutions. Plants are much improved in over all quality.
