I didnt either, until my local shop sent a free sample to me.
Damn that works!
How much did you use? As far as I can tell, "Bloombastic" is just high P & K (0-14-15). A person can do that with
anything. Your base nutrients might play a factor (the resulting NPK ratio).
It would be interesting to use something else to hit the same final NPK ratio (that you did before) and see if it's specific to the product.
P & K is cheap. For example:
- Hula Bloom (0-50-30) is the cheapest PK booster I've found. $15-$20 USD for 1.5 pounds (680 grams)
- Potassium sulfate (0-0-50) is cheap (you can buy it on ebay or amazon. Seller "alpha chem"). $5 for 1 pound (453 grams)
325g (0.7lbs) of "Bloombastic" costs $60. (2-3 times more expense for 28% of the volume of nutrients. This doesn't even take into account that the generic nutes are
twice as strong by weight. You'd use half as much.).
FWIW: 1 gram of Bloombastic makes 16 & 33 ppm (elemental P & K, respectively).
Whereas: 0.3g and 0.1g (Hula Bloom & potassium sulfate, respectively) create 17 & 31 ppm.
