Dunno, organis ain't my thang, people are saying good things about Plant Magic in general though, they have a subforum at uk420 where you might find more info.

 

[lovelightpower]

ok mate cheers!

 

[jaded1]

Plant magic boost is humic/fulvic based,have used it for a while,def don't mix ferts with it as will burn the shit out of your plants!Found using it at about 0.5ml p/l is plenty,anymore and some plants will burn.

 

[funkymonkey]

Humic/fulvic won't burnt plants, must be something else in it that's responsible for the burning.

hey funky have you used that bloombastic stuff ??? i was going some a cpl of weeks ago is it worth useing ?? and if i do use it i dont use my headmasta n potash with it ???cheers

 

[funkymonkey]

I have used Bloombastic three times and what i noticed was the same reported by a few other growers - it does add size, weight, density, resin, really does make your buds bigger and frostier, but it affects taste, reduces taste levels a bit and leaves a slight aftertaste. Also, it makes buds sensitive to mould, I had some bud rot two of the times I ran it and I never have bud rot any other time, someone else reported the same thing.

You would use it instead of the potash and headmasta as you say, it's very hot so be careful with it, very easy to fry the plants, it's a bit stronger than potash so start by using it at slightly lower level than you use the potash and slowly build up.

cheers funky . i wont bother then .....

 

[funkymonkey]

I doubt you'd think it improved quality so probably best not to use it, you could always try it on one small plant.

doombastic you mean bruv i have had no luck but on the schedule it tell you to use it when feeding ! but when i was talk to the sales rep in my shop he said to use it once a week!

me and LLP are going to use, oldtimes, plant magic, and biocanna, and biobizz, and earth juice, to see best

 

[funkymonkey]

The biobizz, biocanna and earth juice are all mostly molasses which is why they are all dark brown, thick and smell sweet.

 

[CarlBruv]

if you could tell me a good ratio of sugar beet mollasses, sugar cane mollasses and seaweed, i'd be up for trying that too. i understand chem ferts are more your thing, but though you may have some ideas.

in another project i will be running it on chemical ferts in bubble buckets. 10 bubble buckets per system/circuit/resevoir. (any advice on this would be gratefully accepted too)
in recent projects i have used canna aqua, pk13/14, boost,
but i'm open to suggestions from the experienced for the chems to run in the next project.
i need something reliable as f*ck.

 

[funkymonkey]

For reliability, Canna. Hesi and Ionic also do great one part coco nutes that are very consistent and reliable. Not used the Bcuzz coco nutes but people say they are also good.

I'll dig out some info on organic nutes after I've had some much needed sleep.

cheers funky!

dunno if this is the right place to ask, but where's the best place to source silk screen.

Hi guys,
Grow in soil, currently using Plant magic root stim,bloom and boost. Running low and thinking about having a change.

What should I be using?

Thanks for your help.

 

[Dr. D]

Hey Mellow if it works well for you then dont change but if you do want to try something out Vita-Link with a low e.c worked really well for me in soil...Bio Bizz stuff is pretty good if you want the organic route.
I had great results in soil with Vita-Link nutes and Top Max bloom stim and very easy...i used to use that set up for a friend because it was easy for them to manage i also find the Vita-link stuff has a very large window for ph swing....Peace

 

[mellow yellow]

nice one doc ill look them up

thanks

I found a small article on using milk as a fungicide, thought it might be of interest to some folks specially for outdoor growers in wetter areas.

Great thread.

 

[orangutang]

Milk never worked to treat PM when I tried it.
