Review the Nutes – You Be the Judge!


Ever had such a great experience with a particular brand of nutrients, that you just wanted to shout it from the mountain tops? Or maybe you’ve had an ordeal so horrendous that you want to condemn that product every chance you get? Well here’s your chance…

In an effort to create an amazing reference for fellow gardeners, we’re inviting you to participate in our nutrient review. Just post your experiences and reviews in the comments section of this article, and we’ll take your comments and repost them in the main content area. When we get at least 5 reviews for any brand, we’ll re-post them in their own separate review article… Tell us what nutes are awesome and why, or which ones suck. If you’ve used General Hydroponics since the beginning of time and would never switch, then tell us that. If you try a different nutrient line every other week and they all suck, then we want to know that to. Simple as that. Your opinion will be valued, no matter what it is. So get your green thumbs typing, and let your garden voices be heard!

Happy Gardening, from the Guys @ My Garden Doctor Dot Com

Biobizz

Author: J. Bianco
“I have used a *lot* of different nutrients over the years. I started with General Hydroponics and growing in rockwool. I soon found that this type of nutrient, while good for beginners to learn on, is not organic, is comprised of various chemical salts, and leaves a lot to be desired in flavor and natural goodness. As I progressed, I used over 10 different companies nutrients – Fox Farm, Dutch Master (Austrailian company using ‘Dutch’ to attract customers), Botanicare, Dyna-Gro etc. I finally stumbled on this small Dutch company called Bio-Biz. They have “real” organic nutrients. Many nutrients call themselves “Organic Based” or so on, as they are not qualified organic but make you want to think they are. OMRI is a European standard for certified organic products, and demands the highest levels of purity and truely organic components to use the OMRI certification. Bio-Bloom is used with Bio-Grow, Root Juice and Top Max to create an amazing, balanced, perfect organic product. The flavor and yield is amazing. If you are looking for the very best, use this nutrient with its companion nutes as well.”

“The House and Garden line has proved to be a very good system. We have, and will continue to, recommend this product. The Shooting Powder is probably the shining star of the system”

    I have been using X nutes for almost a year now and couldn’t be happier. I ran side by sides for a while before switching to them and their line has outdone everything else i tried. Another big plus is cost, everything is priced to make your garden alot more affordable. I have not lost a single clone using their gel which i also add to my ez clone, two weeks at the most and they are ready for transplant. Follow all that up with their customer service and X nutes will be hard to beat.
