I'd like to share my thoughts on this particular product - Charge by Ecothrive
I've had a sample bag off my local Hydro Shop and I was just about to start a new grow. I was growing for cuttings taken from a mother plant so that should be a good comparison. I thought why not?
The sample bag was 300 gr which is enough for 15L of coco. So I mixed 15L of coco with that bag and filled my pot.
.
All for plants were to share the same growing space, light, nutrients. Basically everything would be absolutely the same for all them 4 except that 1 of them is loaded with Charge.
Plant Number 3 from left to right:
Few days later the plant loaded with Charge is slightly darker than the other 3 and slightly bigger:
The difference in growth is obvious isn't it?
A few days down the line they are moved into the flower tent. The plant is the One on the front left
And that's where all the differences disappear. Once I reached the point where I'd like to flip my plants they were all equal and same size.
My conclusion
Vegging:
This product will help you to keep a healthy plant during the vegetable stage. It slightly increases the speed growth and the nutrient uptake which as an awesome thing. Overall I think this product can save you a few days to a week of vegging if used on all the plants in your grow room.
Flowering:
In flowering I haven't noticed any difference from the other 3 plants. Flowering started at the same point for all 4 plants, and they all developed their bud sites equally.
Harvest:
I haven't noticed any kind of difference in the buds from the other 3 plants. I haven't measured exactly which plant how much yielded but they all filled storage units equally.
This is my honest review about this product. At the price of just under 10£ for 1L which will be enough for 4 x 10L pots full of coco it's up to to decide if it's worth spending 10£ to save a few days of vegging.
