Currently I use basic micro, basic bloom, basic grow. I get nice dense nugs, and some quality marijuana none the less, but I am wondering how much better is it to run the full line? A big boost, or a big waste of money. Mainly im wondering about bloom boosters, and bloom foliar sprays.
Any benefit in going from basic nutrients to full line of products?

go buy a product you've researched and like on paper, buy the smallest format and try it out.
if you get better results than usual, you can ask yourself was it worth the price? is it worth the lower price per volume of the big container? If you get way better results for a couple of bucks per harvest, then go for it.
if you cant see a difference, then let it go, try something else.
Never use the FULL line, go one at a time and test each thing out

spray is ok in veg, once you get buds, dont get them wet
I use bio-weed from GH for spray personally, I got a free sample of it

I like Liquid Karma from Botanicare for foliar until week 4 of 12/12- regardless of blooms... if you have adequate airflow- you SHOULD have a periodic misting to clean-off the dust and such (it rains outdoors!) so it may as well contain something benefical once in a while...
As for adding anything new-- use 2 clones from the same mom (or 2 seedlings from the same batch if you don't clone) and use your basics on one plant and add your new stuff on the other. See the results and decide!
We switched what we use because we wanted to go organic, but it lowered our yields... so we switched to what we knew 2 other growers were using (a HUGE lineup of organic and expensive nutes) VERY successfully... HOWEVER: Our environment and water are different and we do not have the luxury of vegging 3 months as they do... so again--even Low yields... we're going back to what we used before- and will NEVER go "whole grow" with anything new again!

I am no fan of foliar ionics. Roots do such a better job. cn

both is better than just one
foliar feeding works, if you already have the stuff, the only thing it costs is your time.
