PBP is great as a base, have used it for years. Definitely needs its additives though and most likely the reason for the issues. I would recommend looking into A1 Nutrients' line. I just started using their amino acids, humic/fulvic, flora vino, and roots booster in addition to PBP, Magi-cal, and molasses. A1 is very reasonable cost wise as well, much cheaper than most additives out there.

From what Ive seen, finished product from users of the pure blend line all tend to have the same smell and taste, individual strains tend to get dominated by the fertilizer and end up with a similarity. Its not immediate, its kind of an after taste thing/exhale after smoking and just smelling the sack or jar. I know a ton of people love it, grow great crops. IMHO I put the Pureblend and advanced nutes in same boat... You can grow great yields, healthy plants, the finished product will all have a similar odor and taste dominated by the fertilizer. The strains lose their uniqueness even seem plasticish. Ive seen alot of stuff grown with these nutes.

From having grown several strains and even a few phenos all in the same tent, same run with PBP I can tell you the scent and taste dont seem the same to me
1k tent, pbp silica blast calmag+ hygrozyme moab sweet raw + molasses.

If its there I cant tell. I am able to smell and taste different fruit notes in 2 side by side phenos. Maybe Im missing something though, I aint known as overly smart. Still a noob too.

Greenpunk I will have to respectfully disagree with this,
"From what Ive seen, finished product from users of the pure blend line all tend to have the same smell and taste, individual strains tend to get dominated by the fertilizer and end up with a similarity. Its not immediate, its kind of an after taste thing/exhale after smoking and just smelling the sack or jar." We grow a large warehouse filled and have used PBP for the last 2 years. The meds that are produced are exceptional, in both flavor and quality, we flush for 10 days. Flavor is different, vastly from strain to strain and burns clean.
However I will add that we are phasing this line out for a more effective and FAR cheaper Jacks Pro Hydro. Adjusting ratios to suite. And may even have 600lb of a custom blended salts instead.
PBP works great, and you should add a little extra nitrogen in the first few weeks of bloom, it make a very big difference in the vigor for us. Good luck

Peace

[ZombieSlave]

[Seed Buyer]

Botanicares whole product line including nutes have just gone up in price across the board starting this past January.

 

[sealed138]

I love pbp.
I use floralicious plus, calmag, metabolic bloom/ veg formula, Moab / hammerhead, and protekt silica. Along with pbp bloom hydro.
I also use teas every week or so.
My flowers taste great
I flush for 1 day with final phase, then 7-10 days with. Molasses.
Only prob I have with it is it makes my res filthy.

Oddly enough I grew out some Hindu Kush last year with PBG & B that did quite well without using any supplements of any sort. But am now working with this new cross AK X Misty from Highlife Seeds that does not like the PB at all. Without employing all their other expensive supplements to reign in the needed micro nute levels, the plants show noticeable nute imbalances and stunted slow growth. The nutes are pricey enough without having to purchase supplements to deliver what the base PBG should already have. Also didn't like the fact that I had to change mixes more often because the PBG would break down rapidly and become ineffective. Often leaving my res. smelling like a funky fish tank if I went too long between mix changes. Have heard good things about Dyna-Gro as being the best stuff around for the price and will be dropping the PBG/B, as Botanicare seems more concerned with finding clever ways to force you to buy supplements and additives than anything else.

Have to ask is the molases thing I've read about often just a taste issue or does it also enhance yield somehow?

Thanx,

I had a problem, I was spending $5 a day on Botanicare nutes.
I mix salts now. Problem solved.

BUMP. Your 2 cents are worth a million in reality. .

This thread could be used in a scientific study to prove 11 out of 12 grow forum users should not be growing weed.

The only time I bought PBP was to show my lawyer how the smell of local dispensary bud matches it 100%

I ain't smoking that tainted shit, certain a judge would agree. Funny Botanicare is based in Az and its illegal to grow. Thanks for lobbying for us Treg you hypocritical corporate sponsored POS.

If you want fake ass smelling weed that makes you're lungs turn to leather, use this shit!

Yeah ok. Revive a five year old thread to re propagate the same silly misinformation.

The only product in there line that could do that is the sweet with the flavorings. They use Esther's that are uptaken into your plant. I am not a fan.

I use pure Blend Pro Grow only in flower after my soil depletes of nutrients and only as much as the plants need.

Each strain. Hell each individual plant from seed tastes and smells different.

your story is a direct result of exaggeration or over fertilizing.

Your statement about scientifically proving bad growers shows your ignorance. Many great growers here. Some of the best I have seen on forums.

Is Botanicare now affiliated with Monsanto?

Not exactly. I thing Scotts bought them out. Monsanto is an overseeing corporation and partners with scotts.

I believe I have this right.
