so my plants are getting to the stage where they are going to need to be feed with a little bit more than water and i am having trouble deciding what line of products to go with
which would you suggest
1) Earth Juice Grow (2-1-1)
Earth Juice Bloom (0-3-1)
2) Fox Farm 'Grow big' (3-2-6)
Fox Farm 'tiger bloom' (2-8-4)
3) Dutch Nutrient Formula (i dont know much about it but i think there are like grow A & B and Bloom A & B)
I have never used Fox Farm or Dutch Nutrients, so i'd say go with the Earth Juice Grow,Bloom, Micro, and Catalyst. I have had excellent results with these nutes but im sure some of the Fox Farm users will come in and give you some ideas of how the fox farm works to better help you make your decision.
I'd look into Botanicare Pure Blend/Pro Products.
They are pretty dang easy to use as well they have em at all store in Canada.
I combine those Blom/Grow With BIO-GENSIS Products such as "SYNERGY" (Plant Stimulant)Which is the shit... As well as "High Tide" Which is a Flowering Kicker.
I have herd the Dutch line of BIO BIZZ products are great as well just kinda expensive. But ALL OMRI so ALL ORGANIC.
It really boils down to how you use em. They all kinda get good results its just not one of them can be used the exact same way. I'm super comfortable with BOTANICARE stuff now So I doubt ill ever switch. I know exactly whats too much and how much is too little.
my 2 cents
Good luck

i've used fox farm for 3 grows now, all soil. amazing results. just don't buy the extra 3 pack of enhancers they are just a bunch of shit. i also use liquid karma. seems to work GREAT! best of luck.
Hey Stonerboy how much earth juice per gallon do you give them? I use EJ as well but im having problems with my plants. Cant figure out if im giving them too much or not enough
Best bet with Earth Juice is to also have a solid soil foundation (or whatever medium you grow in) as your base.
The strengths are written on the bottle.
For best use; in my experience...start at the prescribed strengths at each stage of growth and build your strengths to whatever the plant can take. Then slightly back off or skip a feeding.
I've only used Grow, Bloom, Meta K and Microblast
I also use a plant stimulant, Bio-Genesis Synergy and add molasses to each feeding.
This same feeding method has been used aerated before feeding and the plants love it just the same. When I aerated before feeding, I would drop a teaspoon or two of Mexican Bat Guano for vegging or Jamaican Bat Guano for flowering.
Jah Bless
I much prefer Fox Farm products over the Earth Juice (and, I hate to say that, as I know the owner of EJ personally) ... but, I don't concern myself with organics ... that plant has no idea whatsoever, whether it's nitrogen was mined, or grown ... nitrogen is nitrogen ... :smokin:
I've heard good things about fox farm... There are people that swear by those nutrients... I have used their soil and a box of steamed bone meal which was all top quality. It was kinda expensive though. I Currently use GH Flora Nova and GH BioBizz and can recommend them both. The GH FN is half organic half chemical... so it feeds the soil and has readily available nutrients already. Its hard to work with though because its a really thick sludge kinda consistency. The GH BB is great also... It seems to work just as well as the Flora Nova and its all organic. FloraNova and Biobizz are molasses based. I also add 5ml/g of organic unsulphured molasses, I use liquid karma, superthrive and ocassionally hygrozyme.
Another vote here for the Fox Farms. Been using their products for years. Only time I don't use FF, is sometimes in veg I'll use Miracle Gro.
I use earth juice grow here
I have had great success with Fox Farm; just about anything other than miracle grow for sure, hah.
earth juice is lacking like 4 or 5 nutes from the microblast bottles (sulfur, copper, silicon, etc)
yeah, screw miracle grow...I just picked up a gal of Bloom fert from Earth Juice at a local Hydro storeQuote:

However the liquids are made from teas, which means that it wil be very hard to burn ur plant with them. If u do use FF granuals make sure u start at about 1/4 strangth and work ur way up, only use granuals every other feeding!!!!! very important. Liquids u should should start at about 1 tsp/ gal, but can work ur way up to 3 tsp/gal.
Also FF makes a great soil IMO call ocean forrest. Its pretty expensive tho so if u decide to go with it, id mix it 50/50 with perlite to get ur bang for the buck :thumbsup:
