    So, I just read via Forbes that General Hydroponics is owned by Scotts/MiracleGro.

    It doesn't matter what the partnership does. They are not the same company. Regardless, It's okay that we hate both of them.

    No, they are not the same company in all by name. They have a partnership. That does not mean they share finances. It does not mean they pay the same tax bills. It's a partnership. They buy things from Monsanto. Many of which are pesticide related.

    The GH/GO acquisition was in 2014. The Gavita and the Botanicare acquistion was this earlier this year, 2016.

    No and No. Scotts-Miracle Gro owns both of those companies. Scotts-Miracle Gro is NOT Monsanto. You can hate on Monsanto all you want. You can hate on Scotts-Miracle Gro all you want. I don't care. But they are NOT THE SAME COMPANY. NOR ARE THEY SUBSIDIARIES...

    Flowering nutes for 32 gallon DRIP system? Powder? Something that isn't a fortune

    Plants can handle a huge range of concentrations of every nutrient, so if you're adding magnesium sulfate as an additive to gain maybe an extra 20ppm of magnesium, that change in purity will give you an extra 0.1ppm. Hardly something to be concerned about.

    Yeah, that 99% purity vs a 99.9% purity means your magnesium content will change from 9.6% up to maybe 9.65%

    It's hardly going to make a difference. Ag grade is usually 99%ish purity while pharma grade is 99.9%, lab grade being 99.99% or higher. The rest is water as it is.

    There are like 3 or 4 Crop Production Services locations in central WA. Do a google search or go to their website. Go in with a list of the chemical names you need. They will have what you're looking for.

    Actually, looking at their catalog, they sell Yara fertilizers and other chelated products. You're good to go.

    https://www.siteone.com/2112.aspx That's a landscape supply in San Diego. They should have or at will know where to get 50lb bags of fertilizer grade chemicals.

    Donald, if I may ask, where do you live? I will point you in the direction of an agricultural fertilizer supplier. There should be a CPS close by. Only then will you save money. Buying 2lbs at a time and paying for shipping is not going to save money. You will need to find a local ag supply and...
