Once again the veil lifts and so justice sweeps across the land of leaf causing this legendary thread to bump once again. Lucky are those who realize how profound keeping it simple is.
The place I buy my seeds posts about this all the time…to use just Maxibloom. 1 cup for veg in a 50 gallon res, and 2 cups in flowering. It seems that in the past couple of years it has become easier to mix….but way harder to find in Canada? My hydro store says there are issues with their wholesale companies getting it in Canada.
Is there a similar product that is a copycat of Maxibloom?
I’ve used MaxiBloom since I started growing in 2008 and have never needed to change a thing. All I add is silica, CalMg and baking soda to raise my PH and I also grow in 100% perlite hempy buckets and 315CmH. I keep is simple, always have and always reap great rewardsI've been using MaxiBloom or products similar for years. I never bought into all the collection of bottles many seem to think you need. The ingredients in 90% of all commercial plant foods come from the same factories. It's not as if these bottled fertilizer lines are making the calcium nitrate, potassium sulfate, monopotassium phosphate, etc... It's purchased in bulk and then mixed. Some don't even mix it themselves but contract with companies that will mix and bottle it for you taking care of all the manufacturing and packaging. It's no different than other industries.
So.... it's safe to say, it's got what plants crave?1st pic...Outlaw's Gorilla Grape

EDIT....to further elaborate...A level teaspoon of Maxi is around 7 grams. 7 grams is the actual 8/16 Lucas...except I believe with a little more Cal and Mag. I believe it was Dongle69 that started the idea..The plants LOVE it!!!!
Dog food terps or shoe store terps from that product?I have been using this as a base for years thanks to this thread. It has never let me down growing hydro, and holds the PH nicely.
