Botanicare Vs Fox Farm?

Hey all, I have been using FF complete line of nutes. They work well. But, I hear good things about Botanicare. Which are better?
Thanks

I am also really interested in this - I am about to start a few blueryder plants in a fox farm soil, but I was planning on using the botanicare nutes in the soil, as well as with my hydro grow

i havent used botainicare but i have used fox farm grow big and big bloom on my outdoor grow and had very good succes, the grow big get your plants big fast and the big bloom increases the thc on the plant. if you use the tiger bloom and beasie blooms and the other two powders you will have killer results

some of the best growers on RIU just absolutly swear by botanicare's line, im a FF guy myself and i loved the results, if you go FF get grow big, tiger and big blooms, big bloom only has P and K in it and needs to be used with either grow big or should be with tiger bloom for the micro nutes, since going aero i still use cha ching for late flowering...thier additives are phenomenal

Thanks. I currently use the complete FF line and have very nice results. However, I keep hearing great things about Botanicare. I already use Liquid Karma with the Fox Farm Line.... but, am wondering if I should only use Botanicare? hmmmm...... well, thanks for the response guys

I am using the whole Botanicare Pro series line (not the triflex, or power series) and dosing with all the optional supplements, including silica blast. I am a few weeks into veg'ing and seeing good results. Its mostly organic (95%) and its really difficult to burn the plants. I am watering every two or three days.

I will tell you how I do in like 80 or so days.

Ive used botanicare pro series with the grow,karma,cal-mag,sweet,and now the bloom as well. I have it going with G13's power skunk(attitude freebies). Growing with DWC. My plants are all around 7' tall. I havent had great result with flowering though but from what I hear its the genetics of the plants. Im not getting BIG buds just a whole bunch of small to medium. But anyways I cant compare with FF though. Ive only used Botanicare and the Earthjuice line. I would take the botanicare over the EJ though.

I use Cal-Mag religiously and nute with Grow Big and Tiger Bloom. My soil is FFOF. I'm getting the best results ever with this combo, though I've never tried Botanicare's nutrients.

Perhaps you can help me with a prob I have been having. I am a newb, (3 nice harvests under belt) and every single time during weeks 5 and 6 of flowering I see what I believe is a cal/mag deficiency. Rusty looking leaves. Thru my research I have decided that is what it is. Anyway, I have been putting in a teaspoon of epsom salt and just ordered Botanicare Cal/mag plus. How should I use the cal/mag plus? In conjunction with regular nute applications? Can it be used before the problem to prevent it? Or then will it like o.d. on cal/mag? Please help, thanks.
