Grow More currently has over 1200 fertilizer formulas, about 400 of which are in regular production and the majority sold in pallet quantities for commercial agriculture; i.e., not your crop. The reason you do not see 15-16-17 available from retailers is because demand by consumers is low...

Here it is in PDF format. Links in the document are probably broken ;)

Yes, I recommend a closed container.

You must be smokin' some good stuff! Actually Avalanche is manufactured from start to end in Gardena CA. I sent it to Beckman-Coulter labs when it came out. There's no "rat poison" in it. The main active ingredient is alfalfa extract. I don't have it in my formulations because I think the Jump...

NOTICE: Plants That Produce intends to retire by the end of 2016. OUR GUIDE WILL BE DELETED BY THE END OF MARCH 2016.

"Flushing" is a misunderstanding by amateur growers. Depending on the fertilizer, plants have an uptake and total processing time of 5 to 15 days. In professional agriculture we do not fertilize/fertigate within a week of harvest because it is a waste of resources. Instead we just irrigate...

I have simplified the feeding schedule on my site, you might check it before investing in a lot of nutes.

The best spectral density for your crop is 6400-6500 Kelvin color temperature, start to finish. Only fluorescents are capable of getting close to this measure. Further, spectral density is only half the story -- the other half is projected energy. For your crop you need 50 to 75 Watts per...

My perception is that many young growers want "magic in a bottle" and don't want to think about details. They are of course a perfect target for marketers and certainly there is a tidal wave of folks ready to sell them fancy bottles with mysterious names and lots of buzz words included plus...

Avalanche contains extracts of seaweed, alfalfa, and barley -- all of which contain PGR's. It is a common misnomer among cannabis growers to overgeneralize "nutrients" to include all fertilizers. The reality is that there are many categories of fertilizers: nutrients is one of them, PGR's is...

The Grow More Fuego product was developed a few decades ago as a supplement for vegetable crops grown in sandy carbon-deficient soils and originally not licensed for sale in the U.S. The dosage for row crops as a foliar spray is 1-2 quarts per acre, 2-3 times during the life of the crop. More...

You're welcome. Truth be told ... they have to deal with the State of Oregon labeling requirements and review board.

That's proprietary -- you can read the contents and draw inferences. It does contain Kelp among other extracts listed on the label.

Potassium silicate has been used in agriculture since the 1950's for stiffening turf grasses, esp. in putting greens. I don't care for it because I'd rather have oilier, less fibrous buds.

If an item on my feed charts is not in stock, then it will not show in my Amazon store. However, other sellers are likely to offer it. Regarding Avalanche, I believe that if your crop needs “flower hardening” then throughout the growth and bud cycles it received insufficient nutrients (meaning...
