H&G algae extract?? is it worth it?

[slausongardens]

this is a $100 small bottle and its included in H&Gs schedule.

i didnt have $100 at the time to spend on an algae extract so i got grow mores seaweed extract for $10 haha i figured it was a lot less concentrated and might be a decent enough substitute until i get the h&g algae extract.

now is the algae extract worth the $100 or does the cheap seaweed extract work good as well?

also the yellow australian bottles called bloom, they make sea mineral additives and different seaweed extracts. are those also similar and good enough? i was thinking about trying that too.

any input on this will be appreciated and help my next purchase. thank you.

They work differently, and I happen to adore Growmore's seaweed extract. That stuff smells so good I think I could eat it! And my girls always respond very well to it.

Try to keep things simple as you learn, and don't worry about marrying yourself to a feeding schedule the nute company puts out. I would advise you to find a good thread on your growing style, start reading and following that. People make a lot of adjustments to feeding and that's quite necessary in my opinion, otherwise you're throwing money down the drain and your girls may not be getting exactly what they want.

In other words, learn to read the girls, not just a feeding chart.

Same exact thing.
It's the nute companies worst nightmare that people might actually figure out they're getting bent over.
Use the growmore as a foliar for added benefits.

Maxi Crop makes a perfect substitute and is cheap
