fox farms is not organic.
grow big is supposedly organic, i have my doubts.
wonder why the call it tiger bloom? cuz it makes you roar after you take a hit lol there is a fox farms taste that just does not go away even with a solid 2 week flush. thye invented sledgehammer flush to help flush the synthetic nutrients from the medium, but chem nutes like FF are stored in the buds, and makes for hot & harsh smoke, along with a bowl that tastes like crap 1/4 the way through.
not to say FF doesnt make some good looking buds, but thats about it. 'cookie cutter' average buds that look good but smoke poorly.
i would recommend a full organic line, instead of a synthetic line that has 1 or 2 'organic based' chelated nutes. best results come from one or the other, either full synthetics or full organic. in organic you rely on myco to digest organic nutrients and feed them to the plant. in synthetics you are skipping myco completely and feeding chelated nutrients which mimic myco poop. say you are running an organic line and decide to spice it up with some synthetics, well after you feed you will have to reinoculate your rhizoshere because the synthetics just killed off all your myco. which leaves your organic nutrients unavailable to the plant

Theyre not organic. Theyre "organic based" Meaning they have kelp and wormcastings in there

Who is they ? Fox Farms Nutrients are far from Organic and they may manufacture Big Bloom using Natural Products but none the less even that product is questionable ..

Big Bloom is organic, that's it. Tiger Bloom is 'organic-based' due to the aforementioned castings and kelp in the ingredients, but it also contains synthetic salts and chelating agent EDTA. Grow Big is totally synthetic AFAIK.
Big Bloom is the only fully liquid organic nutrient they have. I've never used it, Earth Juice line instead and now experimenting with some General Organics products (when it comes to bottled liquid).
Fox Farm does have a decent line of organic potting soils and soil-less mixes (with microbes), it almost doesn't make sense. But, they also have dry granular organic plant foods (Peace of Mind\Happy Frog) and guano.
It's almost as if the rest of their liquid line and 'bud hardeners' are really designed for hydroponics and soil-less, but they'll market them as all-purpose including soil just for the hell of it.

Fox Farm probably the best line of nutes out there but no they are not completely organic. i have used dozens of nutes over the years even did a few side by side grows here on the forums and for me Fox Farm has always been the best. Output, density, grow time, health, and taste are excellent with Fox Farm. i have never found any after taste with Fox Farm when you flsuh. I don't do soil as it takes to long doesnt produce as good for me as growing aero or hydro and needs more space so maybe soil doesnt flush as well.But Fox Farm as a nute is great stuff just not full on Organic especially the Tiger bloom
