BINGO!!! Good post and truth!!! I foliar spray in veg and early flower every 5 to 7 days religiously. A mix of fulvic acid, kelp, soy protein hydrolysate (amino acids), and yucca for a sticker. This is my rocket fuel. And my secret sauce (not a secret at all) to keep my ladies short..bushy..and super deep green healthy. These are the additives you want and most effective as a weekly foliar spray in veg. Add a mild pH balanced base nute with a silica in the rootzone when the plants need it. And I havent had a mineral or pH problem in a very long time. Fulvic/humics..kelps..and aminos shutlle in all the micros and stubborn elements fast and easy. Plus the cytokinins (hormones) in kelp does wonders for a compact plant. Useful for limoted space indoor grow rooms. In deep flower...they dont need much. I cut out all of the biostimulant additives and even the silica. Just the base with maybe a p/k booster at mid flower after bud set. Only for about a week. Its the light and temperature/humidity/co2 tricks that are your real flower size & quality boosters.I've been on V+B for 4 years now. I've only ever needed Cal+Mag for two strains. My Skywalker and a Chem x OG.
I do use H16 foliar weekly though.....and that stuff has like 3 different sources of Calcium.
Stack Swell is the new product.
I've only used V+B in LA, where my water was absolute SHIT....and NorCal well water, which is actually incredible (200ppm and 6.4).
Down in LA....I had to adjust things a bit. I did a tap cut with ro and ran a blend of V+B TAP and Dirty. Up here in NorCal.....I run HD....with NO issues concerning ph or cal/mag deficiencies.
I think it really depends on your starting water quality. If your lucky enough to have good starting water, then you can take advantage of the simplicity of V+B.
