I use BAS amendments for…everything. In moderation, at least. And since just adding 1/4 tsp every other week to my house plants…let me tell you, explosive growth. From Monsteras, to Pathos to Spider-plants and rubber trees, they all love it. Way. To. Go!

Goes along with the rest of my stuff. Kinda feel like a mad scientist, but it's always good stuff. Thanks.

Adding tablespoon or 2 too compost tea is the best decision I ever made with this
Scott S.
Honestly I haven’t used this one yet, but once I saw 8%!……. I was sold. Very excited for my next run using this in conjunction with a few other products from BAS. This round will be the Earthbox’s . Super stoked

Ive been using this for about two years, i apply it at about week 3 to 4 of veg, it gives a nitrogen boost, the microbes love it, in just a few days after application you can see the bacteria and fungi growing in the soil, i highly recommend

Noticed faster take off on transplants from smaller to larger pots. I used it on tiny Tim tomatoes and they’re pumpin!!!
William S.
What the heck, my grows got better when I started using this stuff (and a bunch of other stuff).

Lucien D.
Bugs seems to stay off my plants since I introduced this . I still have them of course , but they do seem way less interested in my cash crop.
Joseph M.
My plants thrive in their living soil.

Sam L.
Great for getting chitin into your soil right from the jump🤘🏼
Xavier E.
Haven't used it yet, but of course it works!! Duhhh!!
Brandon A.
This was my first time using this product, and I do not think I’ll ever grow without it again. Works wonders when used with Mycorrhizae during transplant or up plotting.
James W.
Plants accept this well, you can just tell how they respond
Mike S.
Use this on every transplant to prevent shock. Also a great way to promote early soil biology in your container.
Omar
Must have, plants thrive off this stuff.
Tung D.
Im really happy with this because it seems like no pest want to be on my plants
Chris R.
Smells like crushed up bugs. Oddly smells like cheese it's. Been using when transplanting beer cups into no till soil
Jy
Huge improvement in vigor and growth
Kenneth S.
My first time using Earthboxes and the "Build a Soil way". Whether it's this or a combination of all the products in using from them, I don't care!!! My plants are BOOMING like never before with basically no effort. Just being a good steward daily.
James L.
This is a good little mixture you honestly cant go wrong with this offering. Expect it to break down slowly over time and don't forget to mix it/rake it with your fingers into the top soil so it doesn't cake up and become a waste.
Adam S.
Looking good so far. Love the 10x10 series
D T.
Bugs hate a plant with this in its system
Zachary M.
Its been 3 weeks since I started using this stuff and it’s honestly I’ve seen a noticeable difference. On my next run I’m gonna do a side by side comparison to make sure it’s not all in my head! Lol
Barry G.
I will be using this when I transplant up in size along with dynomyco. And 8.2% chitin whaaaat!
B. L.
I love this product. It really helps boost microbial life, and the aminos are great.
Nathaniel B.
Bought this product for my upcoming grow can't wait to see how it can help my garden. Shipping was fast and easy.
Jonathan V.
This is truly a wonderful product to enhance your garden's defense mechanisms, but it's most effective when used from the beginning. I noticed increased vigor in seedlings that carried out throughout the grow, and I think part of it has to do with the 8.2% guaranteed percentage of chitin that OptiVeg delivers.
Jimmy F.
Plants were struggling a little bit but had to be transplanted because they were becoming root bound. OptiVeg seriously help with the transition.
William G.
Easy to use, I add it in the hole with a couple other things. Azos and mycos from extreme garden.

I didn't get this product in time for transplant but worked well as a top dress
Anthony S.
After hearing from Jeremy that OptiVeg has 8.2% chitin and a great sar response from the plants, I ordered a bag. My results were outstanding, from a spidermite problem first run to using optiveg next run, the results were completely opposite. No pests and robust veg setting me up for phenomenal flowers! I’ve yet to use as a foliar spray but I’m sure w the aminos in it, the foliar spray will do well too
Jim
makes all your plant super jacked this transformed my veg
Corey A.
Worked great as a spray solution. Staff was super helpful with answering questions. I will also be using it with some myco innoculant as a water in supplement!
dude g.
BAS has a great video explaining the secrets of this great product. stimulates plants own defenses to build a happy & hearty plant.
Robert L.
I’d have given this 5 stars but the seal failed the first time I tried to reseal the bag. Nevertheless, the product has worked very well in tandem with the BAS mycorrhizal blend for transplants and top dress. You can tell by the texture and color that it’s quality stuff, but the plants are also displaying great turgor after transplants so I definitely recommend.
James D N.
Awesome products very helpful ,and polite staff, i will be recommending build a soil to all of my friends, Thank you very much.
Donald B.
Chitin and Aminos what more can you ask for will definitely order the big bag next go around
RC
So far I have used this as a Foliar once in veg playing with the chitin levels and c how they react, and it makes them pray👍 The second component of optiveg which really intrigued me was the NPK and the micronutrients, it’s great for a veg boost amongst other nutritions, very cost effective as well👍
Donny D.
I was recommended by the buildasoil team to try this to combat my fungus gnats problem and it worked! I don’t have a single fungus gnat after just one application. Super cool
Solus Q.
Seeing faster bounce back after transplanting the next run - use as applied with a myco inoculant & save on some veg time
Jake F.
I added optiveg and the plants are thriving. I also use this to treat the gnats/bugs that frequently come with buildasoil’s soil
david m.
This is my first time using it, only about 2 months of experience. It's def not hurting anything, my garden is fantastically green.
Marquan r.
This is GR8 for building up the rhizospere of any plant and increase root development especially if you kkow the science behind chitin.The only thing I don't like about this product is the cost. But it's somewhat worth it
JOSEPH B.
One dose plants exploded in growth . ..leaves got bigger and stalks got thicker.
Chris G.
Works well. Would like to try with a surfacent.
