Mischka, good idea on hydrating the crystals with a nutrient solution.

Michael, here is the response from BioBizz concerning the NPK differences of Bio-Grow.

The Biogrow in the USA and the Biogrow in Europe are exactly the same. The law in the USA requires us to write on the label the direct NPK levels that the roots take up, in Europe the law requires we write the total of NPK in the bottle. The products are exactly the same every were around the world. They are all produced by hand and with love at our production facility in Groningen J

Thanks for your kind words, and greetingzz to your friends in AmericaJ

Ami-thanks for the info-but why are at least 2 different formulations sold in the USA?

2-0-7 http://www.4hydroponics.com/nutrients/biobizzgrow.asp

and 2-0.1-6 http://www.wormsway.com/detail.asp?sku=BBG401

Michael, if you look closely on the bottle at the 4hydroponics site I believe it also shows 2-0.1-6. I believe one site had the K listed at 6.7 and maybe they rounded it off but I'm sure all the bottles say 2-0.1-6.0 like the picture shown at the wormsway site. Ted

Oh Yes, they look like crystal blobs, just sitting there, weird. Your plants look like they're being pushed out of the pots! One tablespoon can absorb nearly a gallon of water.

I've been doing that since I've been using them. LOL!
