I don’t like recharge because it introduces a ton of variables to your grow.
You would have more control over your grow with controlled applications of humic acid and various soil inoculants to introduce beneficial micro-organisms and fungus, rather than using a general purpose product like recharge.
With recharge, you have no way of knowing what dosage you are administering for each individual component within the mix.
In addition to its other components, recharge is also an artificial plant enzyme and hormone treatment. As in, this product artificially introduces naturally occurring hormones and enzymes derived from other plants. Some of the ingredients are banned from organic products in the oregon legal marijuana market, like salicylic acid.
It can actually change the traits expressed by the genetics, altering the natural phenotypical expression of the plants you are cultivating.
When I grow a pack of seeds, a wild landrace, or an heirloom clone, I do not want to alter the natural environmental expression of genetic traits. I want to see the plant naturally express its genetics in organic soil.
If I used a product like recharge, I wouldn’t know whether I was looking at traits that would naturally express themselves in my environment, or traits that were induced by the enzyme and hormone treatment.
it would be more difficult to discern usable information about what traits you might see expressed in later generations or outcrosses.
The enzyme and hormone treatments in recharge can trigger herms when used late in flower, especially if you are not careful with the dosages.
