Yea everyone thinks all fox farm stuff is organic when indeed the only organic liquid fert they got is big bloom. They say organic based on some stuff (as do other companies), but that does NOT mean it's organic.

When I was at the store, I wasn't paying attention to brand names, are these brands usually stoked by hydroponics stores with large selections? Thx for all the replies btw

Fox farms isn't bad, but out of Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom is they only totally organic one. Just because something has worm castings and guano and such doesn't mean it doesn't have non organic substances added in therefore making the whole thing semi organic but still not completely organic.

all lines if nutrients come with a feeding schedule to follow, not just fox farms... Don't get it just because it looks cool! No botanicare dosen't cause mold or any bad smell or any ill effects, if it did they wouldn't sell it, it actually smells kind of sweet.

So then if I want as organic as possible is sounds like I want to find that iguana brand and not fox farm. Any other recommendations of organic nutes I'm likely to find at these stores? (there are 3 in my city so as long as they are semi popular brands I'm sure I'll be able to find them)

Botanicare is suppose to be organic (although some of their stuff isn't certified I believe). Anyways, people seem to have good results with their Pure Blend Pro line.

Ok so as is sits rights now, I will either be buying:
#1 - Botanicare Pure Blend Pro line
or#2 - Iguana brand
Any other close to 100% organic nutes brand suggestions?

I'm on the FF campaign (soil), but don't think its 100% organic/chemical free. (gotta check) (Actually by FF's chart, its 5 or 6 nutes)

Also organic doesn't = sterile

Bacteria is a good thing (well the good ones)

organic also does not necessarily equal good either.

Well put!

Kinda like:

(but God also made hemlock and rattlesnakes)

Ya I just don't like the idea of smoking chemicals is all. I try to keep it as pure and heathly as possible. Basically, chemicals scare me and that's why I'm going as organic as posible.
