FOX Farm Products- Worth buying??

I used FFTB and BB and am very happy with the results. Just bought a can of Cha Ching and Humbolt Snowstorm Ultra(highly recommended) on Monday for the last few weeks of this grow just to see how well they work. I'm testing them on different plants and others are just getting molasses and others just rain water. I like to experiment with different products, as I am a newbie, just to see for myself. The way I learn is by doing, and some times fucking up along the way. I don't think you can go wrong no matter what brand you decide to go with just follow the directions and remember less is more when it comes to nutes, Good Luck!

this is shots of some of my smaller plants done with fox farm ocean forest soil big bloom grow big vedge ,,, tigerbloom open sesame and bigbloom and a splash of bud candy once a week for flower and USE THE OPEN SESAME IT MAKES A HUDGE DIFFRENCE THE OTHER TWO NOT TO MUCH

honest experience foxfarm is useless and a bit too concentrated burns plants easily if your not gonna go with organics or advanced nuets i'd say general hydroponics is really really good heavy yields trusty wont burn also very affordable and effective moreso than alot of companys

good advice is read the back of the bottles before making your purchace youll find sometimes yu get hella ripped off!

^ Reading labels is always excellent advice, and this especially goes for checking out the ingredients.

Molasses (sp) will help break down nutes.
Tiger bloom, nearly organic, just gets absorbed by the plants roots faster (from what i have heard via grow store), but is pretty much organic. Its a far stretch from something like snow storm by humboldt county, which is carcinogenic ( I assume, gravity was....)

Calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, potassium phosphate, potassium nitrate, earthworm castings, Norwegian kelp, iron EDTA, zinc EDTA, manganese EDTA, copper EDTA, chelating agent, disodium ethylenediamine tetra acetate (EDTA), sodium borate, and sodium molybdate.

You can't always expect to get accurate information at a grow store. TB has all of two organic ingredients. Rest of it seems like synthetic nitrate and phosphate compounds alongside synthetically chelated micronutrients. The EDTA is the primary chelating agent there, it likes to form chemical complexes with micronutrients (heavy metals especially), and can help or force the plant to assimilate them. It lacks organic matter and doesn't support a living soil which is what you'd want in a main bloom nutrient you were using for organic growing. In other words still a far stretch from a rawer natural, lower NPK (and cheaper) liquid organic nutrient like Earth Juice... if organics is really what a person was going for.

A real organic nutrient has organic matter and brewing potential. What you also have to realize is that most fertilizers are labeled soluble N, insoluble, available phosphate (P2O5), soluble potash (K20). Setting aside the fact that P and K are expressed as oxides they are also only telling you how much P\K is actually already available to the plant.
