It's not just bloom foods it's also many of the overpriced base nutrient out there. Sure people get good results using Advanced, Botanicare, etc... But but you can get the same or better results with much less expensive alternatives. I tried the name brand lines briefly until I realized I was paying for diluted chemicals that I could just get myself and add my own water to. I started using VitaGrow that is basically a three part consisting of A: micronutrients, B: calcium nitrate, and C: monopotassium phosphate. A one pound box of B is $5.95. A and C are $9.95 a pound. The price drops significantly if you but larger sizes.
You veg with A and B. When you go to bloom you add C. It's that simple and you never cut back on the nitrogen. I also use it at half strength which is 1/4 teaspoon of each per gallon. I never go over 1000 ppm. It is very economical and provides the plants with everything they need except all of the problems people seem to have with keeping their plants healthy even though they are buying the top of the line product. You can get the same chemicals from places like Crop King but I use VitaGrow because it's the product of the local Hydro shop that I go to.
If people would read the contents or whats actually listed instead of looking at the fancy picture on the bottle and daydreaming about huge resin dripping buds that the bottle of Big Bad Super Duper Candy for Buds is going to give them they would know that it's probably just some dilution of monopottasium phosphate, magnesium sulphate or another blend of chemicals containing phosphorus, potassium, maybe sulfur and magnesium. All of which are easily sourced online inexpensively. The bottle and labeling on a $20 bottle of bloom booster cost more than the chemicals diluted inside.
