I was going for more ease. I want to save time from mixing up nutes and concocting soil recipes. This would seem to be the kind of product that I would make more time for the other things needed for the grow.

I have found there is no one answer. I use hydrolyzed fish, seabird and bat guanos, kelp and compost tea

If salts kill plants then why does hydro do so well?
I also donât see the correlation between pouring pure salt crystals on a slug to 600 to 2,000 ppms of salt-based nutrients. The better analogy would be what would happen to a slug if you poured an ounce of water with a few shakes of salt in it? that still doesnât work as readily because weâre talking about sodium chloride versus magnesium oxide etc. I agree that high salt environment is not going to promote microbe growth but in hydro thereâs no microbes unless theyâre added. A solid live soil with enough base material to break down rarely needs any nutrients to get the plant to its potential. How many people add nutrients to living soil? I personally donât know any. Mostly they use teas and foliers.
a close saying that Iâm not trying to be combative but I am challenging some of the statements made. I get that youâre talking about living soil but does everybody?

Teas and foliers sprays are added nutrients.
To much sugar on a plant and it will thrive. To much of salt based nutes and kill everything.

@FarmerK what do you think about this. You mainly folier feed right? Lets hear what you have to say. @empyreal.craig knows his stuff well. I use a combination of aged steer manure. Salts and organics nutrients. I mix the manure in a 2 handfuls to a 5 gallon grow bag. And add othere things. But im more interested on what these guys have to say.

Not a professional opinion at all. But what I like about that label is alot of mention of bacillus ( the good ones ) and also what caught my eye " This product does not require any hazard warning". Looks good to me and stick with sugar rather salts, better for the soil and that is important.

The salts found in bottle nutrients hinders the development of the micro organisms and makes it harder for the plant to uptake nutrients. Sea water has 80+ trace minerals. If you dilute sea water to the same salinity as our blood it is able to be beneficial to plant, animals and humans.

Now that the industry is evolving and technology is evolving growers will start learning that the ârecipesâ they are using are overbearing and unnecessary. I started Royal Knight Ag after years of studying / growing and learning about carbon back technology backed by actual plant science. Agriculture technology has evolved just like any other industry

Isnât that how your company started? By wanting a product that was easy to use and took the labor/research out of the equationâŚPersonally the science of how all the chemicals react with one another is the best part about growingâŚand enjoying your crop. But consumers like a nice easy to read package explaining everything in nice bright cranyon. By the way the products look and sound amazing.

I am deff giving this a try. I made roses that were bigger than my open hand growing up adding sugar to my watering. I also added food coloring to mess with colors. Lol. I am always concocting something.
This last round that I had a small outbreak of mites, I found that they only attacked my weaker genetics. Even in the cloner. Had to remove the weaker genes and the other strains didnât have a bug on them. I sat with a scope scanning all of them. They are in my soil , I know that. Thats why I de the entire soil and keep adding it. After these 2 are done ill throw away this dirt. I wonât keep weaker genes after this. Then sanitize everything with acetone or something killer lol. Overkill. I found that very interesting.
Side note though⌠i donât think any bug wants the freakshow. The leaves are perfect lol.
The other is a glazed apricot gelato and a skygod.
