Theres new stuff hitting the market every day and its hard to keep up with all of it. Maybe you can try some and give us a report so we can find out.

The veg fertilizer has already too much P (8-5-6) and than they have a bloom fertilizer with even more P (2-9-6). And no, that's not enough P, to get even more unnecessary phosphorus you can of course buy a PK booster.
Just a copy of any other hydro store fertilizer I would say.

Thanks, Dr.Dutch, you are sure right because a plant only needs the basic nutrients found in all the fertilizers. All of those pretty marketing labels and clever words that say they are special is a bunch of bullcrap. Don't buy that crap about one complete fertilizer being better than another complete fertilizer because they are all the same when it comes to what the plants take in.

Yup. Because none of those work... that's why they are for sale at the store.

Those numbers don't cause fear or rage in me...

Phosphorus is pretty important for you and I as well as plants....

Well, all fertilizers in the Hydro store are there to make money. Look at how cheap the ingredients are and what the manufacturers charge for the bottles.
If a new manufacturer with new products would at least stick to new research, then that would make sense.
But as I said, that is just a copy of AN, Hesi, Canna, etc..

That 2-9-6 would work for veg or flower.
Oh, this the phosphorus value is really bad. We now have reliable sources that, in my opinion, clearly show that all hydro store fertilizers contain too much phosphorus and that PK boosters are ineffective.


In the second study, you can examine the exact nutrient content in leaves and flowers. It also specifically investigated the effects of higher phosphorus levels.

This practice is also harmful to the environment. Bugbee explains that in this video as well.
The excess phosphorus ends up somewhere, whether it's wasted through drainage and sewage systems or remains in the substrate, which is then disposed of as waste. In the chapter "Synthetic vs. Organic," he explains it.
