Any fellas work with this line? I've read that you don't need to add any additives or special bennies just use their three bottle line. Any comments?
Yeah, I just got a three part sample of these nutes from my local grow shop and I really haven't given much thought to trying them out on anything that I already have growing. I wanted to wait until I have a few new seedlings and do a side by side with my general organics line of nutes, and possibly a side by side three way with those two lines and Hesi. I still have a few bottles of the Hesi nutrients sitting around. Hesi was a good line, just a bit expensive and not exactly the organic method I was looking to follow. The sales associate that gave me the samples of Base, Grow, and Bloom Botanicare nutes said that he "swears by them" and it's "the only line he uses". Who knows if that's just a selling pitch, but I'm pretty happy with the GO line I'm using now. It's inexpensive and effective.
I am a Botanicare user and was offered KIND by my local grow store. I passed on the sample for the same reason. To me it seems to be the 'easy' way to give your plants nutrients without getting all of what you need.I'm gonna give it a go too, the dude that was originally telling me about it was saying that Botanicare's goal with their KIND line was to compete with Canna. Months later the Botanicare rep said that they didn't even come close to rivaling Canna's results...
I'd be interested in using this line along with Aptus Boosters, may be a good combo.

Perhaps for a small grower this would be a fine product line to use.
If you are using KIND, then why continue adding your additives. Seems like overkill and extra money being spent to me.In what way? I use it strictly as my NPK and as my Cal-Mag supplement. I still add all additives as I would with any other base nute.
I was told by one of the reps that KIND contained trace minerals, amino acids, silicates, humics/fulvics, etc. but I'm sure its in small amounts. I still added all my additives at the same amount after I made the switch from Pure Blend Pro and saw much better results.

I can guarantee you that the reason your getting fox tailing ,leafy-ness,and density issues have nothing to do with seaweed extracts, for I have been using Botanicare line which contains sea weed and I have none of the problem you are stating its sounds to me like those are symptoms of high temperatures in your grow room actually almost 100 percent sure that ,that's your problemits a good move for botanicare and i would use it if i wasnt in coco. got a little too much k for coco.
I also am not a fan of a base having seaweed extracts of any kind built in. I might be tripping, but have noticed seeweed extracts having some undesirable results in bud forming-flowering (fox-tailing, leafy-ness, density issues..)so i only would use it in veg now if ever.
maybe , but when i was using seaweed extracts my room was sealed, 75-77 consistent. I actually looking back think it was causing too much K in my coco because i was also adding a higher K base nute..I can guarantee you that the reason your getting fox tailing ,leafy-ness,and density issues have nothing to do with seaweed extracts, for I have been using Botanicare line which contains sea weed and I have none of the problem you are stating its sounds to me like those are symptoms of high temperatures in your grow room actually almost 100 percent sure that ,that's your problem
