Yes..I concur...
(Edit : I think Mater Magic is road kill, but I have no proof...works good though or has for me).
Very similar to what I just started with the OC+ / Bio-tone Starter plus, accept the Bio-tone includes bacteria and fungi...
ive been looking all over for that stuff. i want to use that Bio-tone Starter plus real bad on my next grow.
After seeing ur post of the micros on this stuff i could use this over the mater magic, ive been wanting to use it because of all the micro life in it, but since it has cal in it then its game on.
By fungi, I was referring to the mycorrhizae. The product has both ecto and endo mycorrhizae, in addition to the beneficial bacteria. Here's the label from espoma.com:
