that was kinda why I tried that bud explosion stuff, because honestly at the time it was the only thing I could afford.. It was that or nothing... Then after I buy and looking reviews, which usually I never do things that way...normally I check about it first... so when I seen the very bad reviews, saying that the product did nothing at all... i'm like oh shit... this isn't gonna be good... but since I had already bought and mixed, I figured I might as well try it.. And I think I had decent results with my trainwrecks with that product and also very noticeable results on this grow... so am not sure way, considering was same name & from same company... I was worried, coz I trust most people reviews... This time either someone was wrong or they changed the product since that time when it was being tested on this site... I really can't say.. But for all I know it could only be slightly working also compared to other brands I have no idea what they were basing it on, the product itself or against other products to me there is a difference...actually one of the reviews said not to waste your money on this product, most other's were similar, but all mentioned other brands too.. thats why am not sure if based against other brands or product itself.....
