I'm using fox farm ocean forest with grow big and big bloom with snow storm ultra and gravity. Does that keep me organic? If so, do I still have to flush? Thank you

Yes from a quick google i think they are organic, with organic there is no need to flush but i like to flush with water and molasses

I'm fully organic and have never flushed any of my harvests.....My buds always taste much better than most of my friends.....

No, they aren't organic. Big bloom is partially organic derived from guano I believe (idk the bottles are rotting on my shelves I ditched em). But the Tiger bloom and grow big are definitely chemical. I noticed a HUGE difference when I dropped the fox farms and switched to the entire roots organics line up, which are actually derived from organic products. Its nasty to work with its about 8 bottles of sludgey smelly poo but the plants loooove that shit.

The only Foxfarm fertilizer that's organic is Big Bloom! Tiger Bloom and Grow Big are both synthetic with a few organic things added like worm castings and such.

It doesnt matter if its organic or 'chemical.' A plant can only absorb ions of elements (P,K,N) The soil acts as the the root systems stomach and breaks the organic matter to inorganic ions that can be absorbed through the plants cells that make up the roots. An organic molecule would be to big. In conlcusion, its all the same, except one can be taken up by the plant immediately and other has to wait until the soil microbes have broken it down. I use a mix of both now, after doing 'chems' and organics and its always the same. any differences are completely subjective.
