they are not the same product, they are made by the same company! purple maxx is supposed to change the plants purple and supposed to add more trich develpment and turn it frosty! whille the snow storm doesnt have the purple additive it just turns the flowers more frosty and adds more trich develpment! 1 out of 3 testers found it turned your plants purple! so snow storm is cheaper cuz it doesnt have the purple addative they put in there! i didnt find it to turn mine purple so when i run out ill just buy the snow storm, i dont care about purple so why pay more money for a product that MIGHT turn the flowers purple!
i would def use gravity with one of the products, either purple maxx or snow storm!
Actually, there are a few hydro store owners who disagree.
Why would they lie?
Snowstorm is almost half the price of purple maxx.
Bushmaster (like phosphoload) is being systematically removed from the market due to a reactivity and residual issue with both formulas. There seems to be harmfull chemichals lefto over in the finished product that is eventually consumed by the user. Since cannabis is considered and edible by smart folks, often not treated so on the developmental scale.
Some companies tailor their porducts or market products designed for ORNIMENTALS, which have a completely different set of guidelines established by your and my best friend...the FDA.
NOW, I have used bushmaster on a few grows, differetn strains, regiments, mediums and whatever and have noticed that it does indeed cause stress.
Would something that stopped you from growing vertically be healthy for you?
Prolly not.
As far as stretch is concerned, most of the time it is caused by two facotrs:
Low light, plants may be reaching
or-
Low co2 levels (most common)
Once we institudes the co2 system (thanks Sentinel) week 2 looks like week 3.
I have to DOUBLE the food amounts.
The canopy is shorter, more uniform for a multi strain SOG grow.
24 plants under 4 600's is covering a 12' x 18' area, where before we crammed 54 under 5 lights.
We are expecting double the numbers of half the plants.
