ohso,
Are you no longer using teas as ferts and just using the whole BMO line of ferts now? I've been reading your tea threads over and over. Taste wise, is there a difference using BMO vs teas? Is there a difference on yeild?
thanks,

Down2grow.... Eleven years ago, I was a chem only / hydro grower. So, I tried all the big names over the years, everything from GH to Vita-grow. Then when I transistioned to organic growing - I went through the Organic List - Fox Farm, Earth Juice, Bontanicare...etc...
.
I had an old, I mean old Hippie ask me why I wasting my money on bottled stuff all the time. He showed me how to brew (bubble up) simple guano teas and use them properly. I was hooked. I enjoy making them & using them. I probably always will.
.
I got turned on to BMO's SPT a while back by a younger grower, who swore by it. After using it on just one run, I decided to never grow without it. I'd love to know exactly how they make this stuff - it Rocks !!!
.
Now back to the why of it - Basically, I got a really good deal on some BMO products last year at a harvest festival, here in Arkansas. The prices were really right, so I decided to try them out. I used the Flower Power to finish up (two out of ten) Skunk #1's. They smoked just as smooth as my tea only girls and yield was almost dead even.
.
After I finished that run, I started another from seed to finish. The final yield on those Skunk's was within an ounce of the tea only girls, from the previous run.
.
So, to be quite honest - BMO's stuff worked as well as my best made teas and smoked just as smooth. The ounce difference - had probably more to do with weather - than nutes - & we are talking about an ounce difference with ten plants.
.
The BMO stuff is a good choice, for people who don't have the time or space for making teas on a regular basis. With their equipment, they are able to concentrate the stuff better than you or I can do in a bucket.
.
Plus sometimes, it's just easier to carry those small bottles in my backpack to my grow patches - mix on the spot and be done with it.
.
Hope this helps....
