Agtonik / Protector of the Plants Review

Reviewing two different products during this grow. I do not work for either company. I am just a grower that offered to do a grow using their products and giving an honest review. I am not paid by either company and am doing this for my own curiosity and sharing it as I go. I'm always looking for new products that can help my personal grows, as well as being used in my family garden and even possibly in our small microgreens business. Products: AGT50 from AgTonik, agtonik.com AGT-50™️ Fulvic Trace Mineral Soil Amendment is a liquid-concentrate, prehistoric, trace mineral and organic acid complex harvested and manufactured in the USA. Liquid Culture Microbes from Protectors Of The Plants, protectorsoftheplants.com A liquid culture microbial solution consisting of beneficial bacteria and fungi for plant life. This started as a chat Future4200 with DaWizKid, and then later AgTonik. The idea is to do a simple grow, using 4 clones. Each clone will be given a different set of added items from the normal amounts of things that I would feed with. Plant 1 will be only given my normal feed, nothing extra. Plant 2 will be given my normal feed plus AGT-50. Plant 3 will be given my normal feed plus Liquid Culture Microbes. Plant 4 will be given my normal feed plus both AGT-50 and Liquid Culture Microbes. I WILL NOT be comparing each company against the other. That is not what I'm doing at all. I'm seeing how each product can enhance the growth and health of the plants. Including looking at the root balls at the end to see if root growth was changed at all. For that reason, the clones were planted deeper in the pots to keep a lower height. This way I have more growth time in the vegetative stage to observe the plants. And...I always like training them and having fun with the plants. Grow Media: 1 bag, 1.76cuft Tupur from Royal Gold 1 bag, 1cuft Earthworm castings Mix those two bags together. Then added 50/50 mix of the following until I had enough total media for all four plants. Plagron Cocos Perlite 70/30 mixed with Black Gold Natural and Organic Added the following to that mixture: 1/2 cup of Dr. Earth 4-4-4 dry ferts per plant, so total of 2 cups. 1/4 cup of Dr. Earth Alfalfa Meal per plant, total of 1 cup. 1/4 cup of Dr. Earth Bat Guano per plant, total of 1 cup. Did a final mix of everything. Used 5 gallon fabric pots. Day 1: Went to Queen of Dragons in Shasta Lake, CA, and got 4 clones of Blue Dream. They were great to work with and the transaction was easy and straightforward. My big question was how long they've been in the current containers. They knew right away and told me 3 weeks. Got them home and sprayed them with Lost Coast Plant Therapy. I do this with any plants coming into my place. Placed them in some indirect light so they could dry. After drying I pruned them back, getting rid of many fans, all of them along what will be the main trunk, per say. The clones had a decent amount of stretch, so I planted them deeper in the pots to lower their height. This also gave me the opportunity to get them closer to the same height as each other, making my life a little easier when it comes to training. After I got them all transplanted and in the tent, I watered each plant. Each plant was watered with 1 gallon of plain tap water with 5ml of lemon juice to help with pH. I'm using nothing in the water yet, I want to make sure the plants get settled first. Day 2: Plants are looking good. Slightly water logged looking early during the lights on period but by the end of the day they were looking pretty happy. Day 3: Plants look good. A second spraying of Lost Coast Plant Therapy was applied as soon as lights went out. Day 4: Everything looks good. They may need water, but remembering how deep I planted them, I decided to wait an extra day. Day 5: Time to water. Also time to introduce the plants to a little feed. I never want to miss a chance to give the plants something they could use. Each plant received 1 gallon of water/feed each. All four plants got GS Plantfoods - Ocean Magic Sea Minerals, 5mL per gallon of water. And 5mL of lemon juice per gallon of water. Plant 2 also got AGT-50, .625mL (1/8 tsp) per gallon of water. Plant 3 also got Liquid Culture Microbes, 1oz per gallon of water. Plant 4 also got the AGT-50 and the Liquid Culture Microbes at the same rate as Plant 2 and Plant 3.
