Remo Nutrients

Remo Nutrients

For the past few years I have been dialling in my organic growing style, I grow using the No Till / KNF organic living soil method.  In other words, no-till Korean natural farming which is a way of growing crops from year to year without disturbing the soil through tillage.

However, after watching a countless number of videos over the years on YouTube regarding Remo Nutrients I couldn’t resist trying out his range. Remo (the urban grower) is a medical grower from Canada who floods YouTube with his grow videos and diaries from such events as Spannabis in Barcelona.

Remo Nutrients markets itself that it has helped thousands of people to learn the skills necessary to produce a world class product.   In addition, Remo states that it was truly spawned from a passion for growing. As in Remo’s Micro, Grow and Bloom range that brings quality and simplicity to your garden. Furthermore, they state that the proprietary blend of macro and micronutrients provide plants with the foundation needed to achieve maximised results.

You can’t argue that in his videos he produces very good results but we only have his word for it, that his gear tastes good as well as looks good. Any grower can make things bigger but not everyone can make things better.

First impression of the range was very good when I received it for testing, sturdy bottles with clear information on what’s inside.  Brands that hide what is in the bottles are usually full of nasty stuff! That’s why this range gives your plants the reliable building blocks needed to achieve what they devour.

Remo Nutrients is very simple to use, seven bottles in total. Another bonus for some people will be the price, if you’re a commercial grower then this range will appeal to you and interest individuals whom are growing on a budget.

So, let’s take a closer look at the range.  Remo Grow, yes you guessed it.  This product is used for the grow cycle (veg).  It is an easy to use product and does a good job at supplying plants with what they need. To be used in conjunction in equal parts with Micro.

Micro, this is used for the entire plant cycle in conjunction with either Grow or Bloom.  This is a really good product and it keeps plants very sturdy since it helps with cell wall structure. Remo Micro contains a variety of elements, all working alongside Grow and Bloom to help with the growth of the plant.

Remo Bloom, yes you guessed it.  It is used for the bloom cycle (flower).  This contains a chemical called molybdenum and if you believe everything Remo tells you about it… it does everything apart from the washing up.  Molybdenum is an essential component in two enzymes that convert nitrate into nitrite (a toxic form of nitrogen) and then into ammonia before it is used to synthesize amino acids within the plant.

In other words, molybdenum helps to reduce stress on plants by converting nitrates to amino acids. It does everything you need it to do but I’m not too sure about this wonder chemical, personally I would have to test the theory several times before getting on board.

VeloKelp is the best product in the range, this stuff is correct! Even if you don’t jump onto the Remo range try this out.  Great as a foliar spray once a week in veg and for use in your nutrient mix through the entire cycle of the grow, an exceptionally good product!

MagNifiCal is Cal Mag to us, it’s as good as any other on the market.  It can be used in foliar sprays or in your nutrient tank. Remo MagNifiCal formula is specially designed to speed up plant absorption rates and it sure does a good job.

Natures Candy, this is basically a molasses blended with amino acids and iron if your growing in soil.  I would just use organic molasses but in hydro systems this works as it’s very watery so it won’t block your system.

In relation to AstroFlower, Remo dresses up their PK booster with fanciful wording.  At the end of the day, its phosphorus and potassium. Nevertheless, Remo AstroFlower has a precise blend of fossilised organics, targeting optimal flower development to give you a bigger and healthier plant. At the end of the day, it does the job in flower production like all other PK boosters but for me there is nothing special about this product.  It’s not the best PK I’ve used and it’s not the worst.

That’s the range, seven bottles in total and very simple to use.  I grew four plants with Remo Nutrients, all plants were super healthy all the way through the cycle up to harvest.  I experienced no deficiencies, no nutrient burn and found the pH balance to be very stable.

This range is very user friendly, as all the parts are pretty much in equal amounts all the way through. Remo delivers a good range for beginner growers as it seems difficult to mess things up. The plants grown with Remo Nutrients produce nice flowers that are fully developed and smell amazing.   In other words, they produce decent quality plants without any hassle.

The thing that irritates me the most with this range and the industry in general, is that manufacturers try to confuse you with wording like ‘unique blend’.  There is nothing unique about blending chemicals, we have been doing it for decades.   The same principal applies to the wording of ‘special PK formula’, what’s so special about it? Absolutely nothing, its phosphorus and potassium not rocket science or Harry Potter’s magic.

If you’re already growing with chemicals, then its worth giving this range a try.  You can test the water by growing one plant on the Remo gear and see how it does against your proven feeding program.  Personally, Remo Nutrients just screams commercial grower since it’s cheap, easy and stable pH wise.

If you want to grow quality plants full of flavour, I would look into other ranges (ask Hyjo).  There are nutrients that I’ve used to grow the same strain that I grew with Remo that produced a world class and flavourful specimen.

I can’t say that this is a bad range but it’s not for people wanting the best quality result, it’s for people wanting the biggest numbers.
