switching to new nutrients, HELP

Unfortunately I have to switch to a new brand of nutrients. I have been using fox farms but can no longer get it where I live.... (yes I've looked at many different options, it's just not possible)
Now I'm needing to choose a new brand. I am thinking of using Botanicare Grow and Bloom. I'm wondering if anyone has a feeding schedule for this brand, I can't seem to find one for SOIL. I'm also wondering if this is a good brand to use.
 
Can't comment on the whole Botanicare lineup. but the additives and supplements I've used seem to be high quality. In dirt, the General Organics stuff seems to work fine for me, and isn't crazy expensive.
 
The directions are on the containers. I'd use them at half strength to see where you need to be. I ran into problems using full strength. I grow in soil, and for veg, I use botanicare grow for soil, along with cal mag and liquid karma. When I switch to the 12 12 room , I change to the botanicare bloom, and continue with the cal mag and liquid karma.
 
have to agree with Greenpassion, whatever product you end up choosing i would start at 1/2-3/4 ratio nutes when you switch..i made some product changes early into veg and started feeding at 3/4 recommended and that was too much. Easier to start light and increase if needed, than it is to over feed and have to flush multiple times before you can play with your feeding mixture. homegrown
 
Yep...I'm running my Blue Dream at 650 PPM under the 1000W HPS (130 PPM start water is 50% RO) and they're happy...that's 43% of the recommended G.H. schedule for Maxi nutes. My GSC x's seem to like a little more feeding (750 PPM), but I've stopped trying to force feed them into growing bigger, it doesn't work.
