Botanicare Pure Blend

This question goes out to those who are using this line of nutrients. I have plants that are 24 days into flowering and I am thinking of switching to the Botanicare Pure Blend lineup. I currently use fox farms, and I am looking for something a bit better and in the same price range.

-What recommended feeding schedule (dosage) would you use at my stage of flowering? 24 days.
-Since I am in flowering, do I need Pro grow? I would imagine I don't (after reading their feeding chart it doesn't show it being used in the flowering stage)

After reviewing everything I have come to the conclusion I could go with just Pure Blend Pro-Soil. I would really like someone to correct me if I'm wrong on this.

pro grow is good for veg and to wein off of during the transistion phase. for your question people will say it rocks and it sucks....but better on the rocks side :)

Lol I feel like an amateur all over again. I guess after you get used to doing something one way, it is difficult to change it up. I am going to head out to the hydro store here shortly and I'll talk to the guy there. I am going to assume I will be buying Pro Bloom Soil and maybe liquid karma, we will see.

he might direct you to hydroplex and sweet as well. i dont know about the hydroplex...looks kinda cool...but the sweet is pretty much mollases(or at least they say it is)..if your going organics, or since since pureblend is biosynthetic...i would look into some bacteria as well...they usually sell little 5 dollar tubes of mother earths compost tea...i have good results using it...but be careful as i har things like that can fry your plant if you have to much nutrients in your soil...and ill tell you i think thats what i have done on my grow.First time for everything

I used Botanicare for 8 years in the dirt before switching to a different brand. I don't know if you'll see an improvement between fox farm and Botanicare but when in flower, I'd use no more than 5mls of bloom per gallon. Scale that to 3mls during the last few weeks of flower.

I would hit them with grow every once and a while to keep them green but ymmv.

I also used to use liquid karma, sweet and hydroplex and I'd suggest against all of them unless you know exactly what you're doing. Even if you do know exactly what you're doing, I'd skip them all.
