MaxiBloom 1 part dry nutrient review

MaxiBloom is a Dry one part nutrient made by General Hydroponics. With nutrient levels of 5-15-14 it is made for flowering or fruiting stages of plants. I have been using Maxibloom with fair results on a few of my Tiny Tim tomatoes for a couple of weeks now. Things I like about MaxiBloom include the price (around $15 for 1.5lb or $70 for 16lb) and it is really easy to use in a run to waste system. For my tomato test I began by flushing the pots with about 10 gallons each to leach any pervious nutrients out of the coco. Then I waited 48 hours to begin my trial. At an application rate of 1 gram per liter (metric is so much easier) every other watering the plants seemed to be doing well and where producing 4-6 cherry tomatoes per plant/week.



Now if I told you that Maxibloom was a ground breaking super product I would be lying but for the money it’s a great value. I am sure the addition of the KoolBloom products could of boosted my yield but why complicate things. One part nutrients have mostly been targeted at beginner to novice growers like me and if I was going to shoot for higher yield I wouldn’t stay with GH products anyway.

In conclusion if you are looking for a cheap, decent quality product for beginners or casual indoor gardeners Maxibloom just be the product you are looking for. If your growing higher value or sensitive plants I suggest you invest a little more for a product that could be customized for you needs.
