Gonna use ultra snow storm when it's time. Another customer in the store told me about the set. Sounded very wicked. Heck it says on the back of the label to be very cautious when using that stuff. Said to cut out other nutes. Crazy strong maybe?

yes, it's been on here before in other posts and it runs VERY hot, so use caution.

I use and have used 1tsp per gallon with full strength nutes since the very beginning of flowering and plan on that dose till the very end. One time, using it with Gravity I burned once plant outta ten. Not only certain strains but certain phenos are more sensitive to nutes than others. Out of those ten plants 4 were Purple Moonshine (SR71 Purple Kush X Blue Moonshine), the most Purple Kush dominant lady was burned, the other three of the same strain were unharmed. Just goes to show ya, when you f*ck with nature, anything can happen.

I have used all the Humboldt stuff, the Bush Master burned the crap out of them and the rest didnt seem to do any thing but some people say it works, you wont hear that from me
Definitely use caution with those products. Especially the Gravity and Bushmaster. The Snowstorm Ultra is the best and safest of the package. It does seem to add a good deal of frostiness and it doesn't seem to burn the plants at all. The gravity will add density but do not use much of it. I suggest starting with 1-2ml per gallon and cutting all the other nutes when you add it in the later weeks. I have never used these products in a hydro system so i'm not sure about that. The gravity seems to cause a pretty drastic nutrient uptake and there are usually plenty of nutrients still in the dirt. I know from experience that that If you are going to use these products you should probably not ever let your ppm get over 1000. If you use caution these products work really well and even let you be more efficient with your other nutrients. If you do not use caution you will certainly burn the living shit out of your plants. I'm not totally sold on the bushmaster yet but the snowstorm ultra is the shit. Foliar feeding lets you be even stingier with it too.

not used the snowstorm but i read that its basically the new gravity.
ive been using both for a little while, as the package says be careful too much is too much. purple max will bring out some colour if its there in the plant sometimes it wont. but it is a good booster. gravity will finish your girls fast but if you use it too early you'll lose out on your final yield.
im using coco so my base nutes canna A & B arent too strong to begin with so adding purple maxx was fine but the gravity on top gave the plants a bit of burn.
shits expensive for what it is tbh

Im feeding about 2.5 ml to my ultra haze 2 outdoor shes like almost 7 feet tall shes in my album. No signs of burn yet, Im using the ultra snow storm. I added it to a full 6 part feeding of roots organics nutes. PH is about 6.0, like I said no signs of anything yet, no burn nor any improvement so well see.

the purple maxx used to say 'snow storm' on the label. i wonder if they made two seperate products just to make more money?
i love the BM, used properly its an amazing product. and i use the gravity when humidity isnt an issue.

I wondered the exact same thing and called the manufacturer and asked that question. The response that was given to me is that supposedly the Snow Storm Ultra is Snow Storm without the Purple Max... meaning... Purple Max was supposed to induce color change and add extra frost on your plants. Snow Storm Ultra is supposed to stimulate and add to Trich production but not affect color change. Also, Snow Storm Ultra is not supposed to be able to burn your gals. I used it my entire grow from Week 1 of Bloom and did not have any Burn this last run. 10 plants, 5 different strains.

if thats a fact then im intrigued. i have absolutely no interest in purple whatsoever, but trichs on the other hand. plus the price difference is substantial with the SS being the cheaper of the two.

My opinion of the product (Purple Max: aka Snow Storm) is that it contains some pro-beneficial ingredient that somehow encourages the plant to resinate and increases trichome production. The idea that it actually changes the color of your buds, pure bullshit. Foliar feeding your plant with this product will although give your leaves a blueish color hue. I used PM as a root drench and foliar feed my last run with true purple strains like a purple kush hybrid and some tga strains that have phenos that can be purple and never saw any drastic color change. The Purple Maxx name in itself is a marketing ploy. I wouldnt doubt if they got alot of bothersome phone calls like mine asking about it and alot of heat from the industry by hinting that color change will occur by using this product. Color change comes from genes and cold temps, period. The manufacturer has changed the formula and marketed the same product several times under different names. Sounds a little fishy to me. It was once called "Stacker."
