Experiment plants show no signs of toxicity. Hydro boost rates added to original post.

the borax treated plants look fine, the biomin boron plants are looking a tad toxic...I will give a good flush after pictures tomorrow. There are some definate differences...you will have to wait till tomorrow to see though

So the threshold for Boron toxicity is very high as compared with other nutes? Maybe some of those flower enhancers use Boron....hmmmm....

You can get boron toxicity if your not careful. Be sure to follow my suggested rates.

It has been exactly one week since we added the flower boosters...

Borax treated plant...


Biomin Boron treated plant...


PK 13-14 treated plant...


Budswell treated plant...


See any differences? I don't, not yet at least. The only thing that is obviously visible at this point is that the biomin boron is stout I dosed at 3/4 their recommended rate, and still got burned. The borax treated plant is doing fine, no burning.

I will continue to update through harvest...

Research at the "lab"

Research at the "lab"

I did alot of boron testing about 4 years ago. I bought a 50 pound bag of solubor. I sprayed 1000's (literally) of trees, shrubs, mj, etc... to see what happened. Used different drench rates. Saw the burn. Saw improved flowering and growth.

Current test plants are henbit, curly dock, and wild lettuce. Sprayed some with zinc stearate from the drug store and epsom salts at a high rate. No burn showing after 10 days.

still no pics though...wheres the pics sproutco...we want pics.
