hi was wondering if there is a cheaper alternative than bio bizz top max bloom stimulator ?

thx in advance
Owderb
Yes there is mate............Nothing............cant get cheaper than that

Grow and bloom is really all you need, topmax has proved with most folk on here to be a waste of money

But even then, a decent organic tomato feed can reduce bills further still wink1.gif

which tomato feed would be the best do you think NPK wise? have looked at a few and found varying levels

Top max is optional mate. Some use it, some don't. I use it cause i started with it, just stayed with it. Next grow i might leave it out and see does it make a difference.

Ì'll be ditching the Top Max this time..
I've been using it for all my last grows and This time i'll be just using the Grow and Bloom
Sure all these seasoned growers cant be wrong ..Can they ? cool.gif

I have found in last 2 grows with and without top max and I won't use it again .I found it added a metal taste and yield was better without it. Showgirl

treakle is a small town in america, treacle or molasses on the other hand has very little in the way of fertiliser value, it does have some potassium and trace elements, but not enough to feed a plant if the compost is running out of n:p:k, it will help stimulate the micro heard into extracting the last of the nutrient reservers in a compost though.

treacle/molasses is part of the ingredients in biobizz grow and fish mix.

showgirl I agree that topmax gives but a metallic tang, its nasty stuff IMHO.

Tomorite is a very nasty chemical fertiliser that make the buds taste foul when smoked, its nearly but not quite as bad as ionic.

Yup topmax is minging and agree with the metalic taste too. Made all my different strains taste the same and havent noticed any difference leaving it out... well appart from taste smile.gif
