Yes, it's true - they don't have a fancy website or pretty labels to dazzle the eye. All that stuff cost money, doesn't help your plants grow any better and adds to product costs. You end up paying for all that marketing hype.

Don't let the reasonable prices turn you away. Just look around the Organics threads and you'll find plenty of people - who will tell you " Get Some ". So, you do not have to just take my opinion on this matter - there are many.

With any fert used in Hydro. Start at quarter strength - check your TDS and pH (30 minutes later - for more accurate readings). If everything is within limits - add upwards slowly every few days until your satisfied with the TDS & pH. Since, every strain of Mary is different - use basic guidelines until you see how the products work with your particular strain.
My own general guidelines for plants at least three weeks old:
For the Growing Stage of Hydro - start at 300 ppm, build up 50 ppm every 5 days until until you reach 600 ppm. Add more only if the strain requires it.
.
For the Flowering Stage of Hydro - start at 600 ppm, build up 75 ppm every 7 days until you reach 900 ppm. If, you begin to notice any nute burn - back down in increments of 100 ppm - until corrected.
.
Try to keep pH between 5.1 to 5.7 for best results. By building up your TDS levels slowly, you prevent - lots of problems from occurring - making any problem that does come up - easier to diagnose.

Hope this helps...
Keep it Real....Organic....
