Before I buy a new product I always research the hell out of it before purchasing, so that I don't end up with buyer's remorse and a product that ends up collecting dust. However, there is just so little information out there on the efficacy of certain products.
There are so many products available, some with ridiculous claims, that the first time grower usually ends up wasting valuable time and money.
I'm hoping to test the usefulness / validity of some in the near future.
I think we should have an experiments section which will be like a journal except that people post results of their grow with a product vs without. (It will also bring more traffic to the site if that's desired).
Examples:
superthrive vs. without superthrive
Big Bud vs without Big Bud.
Topped plant vs fimmed plant
FFOF vs Roots Organic
FFOF vs Roots Organic vs Miracle Grow
Coco vs Soil
Foliar feed vs no foliar
metal halide vs HPS for flowering
etc.. test criteria are endless.
There should also be a sticky with the guidelines for posting and the rules for anyone wanting to conduct an experiment.
Only one variable or as few variables as possible should be tested at a time.
There should be no other additives added other than the bare minimum to keep the plant from having deficiencies. In other words, base nutrient + cal/mag if needed.
Other obvious things like similar setup, tests done by same grower / same growroom, etc need to be mentioned as rules.
