Default Re: Grow More "Stimulant"

I read that study a couple of years ago, it looked like it was done by some college kids, but at least they didn't make any crazy claims like Richard does. Even Azomite removed all those crazy claims and is now trying to appear more respectable.

"The Combined Effect of Some Organic Manures, Mineral N Fertilizers and Algal Cells Extract on Yield and Fruit Quality of Williams Banana Plants" done a year later was a little better, but both studies are starting and finishing with small bunches.

There are many gimmicks that can add a few kilos, but I'd rather read a study that produces large bunches.
