I know I mistakenly thought grow big and tiger bloom were organic but I guess not. Do edta do any harm to plants in organic soil? FFOF is organic but its plant food friends have edta that makes them not organic?

EDTA is the cheapest effective way to keep certain ions soluble, esp. iron. It is a purely artificial molecule but can be found in foods (at a low concentration) and household products. cn

Damn, well now my baby isn't organic. Thanx for the info! Needed an answer so badly. I guess my researched missed something. Thanx bro. Next time ill look for nutrients without edta. Any good recommendations?

yeah i thought it was organic when i bought it also. i just figured all fox farm was organic. maybe make your own organic mixes. look at the organic teas. there certian things you let brew and nutrients will leach in to the water.

Thanx, I guess it'll be ok for this grow I guess. She looks good so far. My goal is to do organic. I ran into an article and it talked about edta. That's why I found out.
