I've been using Botanicare's CNS17 line of Grow, Bloom & Ripe for my coco grows & have been happy with it. But it's one of the only nutes in my lineup that is not organic. I was at my LGS the other day & saw Botanicare's Pure Blend Pro Grow & Bloom. Is this line up totally Organic? There doesn't seem to be a Ripe like in the CNS17 lineup, so you just run bloom during all of flower then? Does anyone know how it compares to the CNS17 lineup?
No Botanicare's pure blend products are not 100% organic. It is organic "Based". Here is a list of the OMRI certified products by Botanicare: Botanicare | Organic Materials Review Institute I use both the grow and the bloom and I couldn't be happier with the Botanicare Pure Blend line. Great product and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
At least it's a big leap in the organic direction, especially compared to the CNS17. I'd say if I switched over to the Pure Blend then I'd be 80-90% organic. I'd love to be able to get to 100%, just haven't figured out what could completely replace the CNS17 or Pure Blend line. I was hoping the Pure Blend was going to be totally organic.
