Commercial fertilizers.


I'm using just Flourish right now. Is Tropica Master Grow better and more balanced or should I go with a seperate Flourish Iron/Potassium/regular mix? Thanks,

Scott

Very good question. I'm also interested in Tropica Master Grow, I'm also a Flourish user...

Any comments on Tropica Master Grow??

Ok..
How about some 'rumors' on Tropica Master Grow?

I find them fairly close.
There's some subtle differences from what I've seen and a few others.
I like both for different reasons.

Tom,

If you had to pick one as your only fertilizer, which would you pick? Is Tropica Master Grow as complete as three seperate bottles of Flourish/Iron/Potassium? Also, I have an all Flourite substrate. Will fertilizer sticks help with stem or other type plants? Thanks for your input,

Scott

I'm slightly partial to TMG but it's due to plant species that I like more than one being much better etc than the other.
I do not use plant tabs in the substrate.
