ya AO isnt all that much organic, thats why the NPK is so high because of the salts, i noticed right away because it did have a organic smell, trust me when fish and seaweed are added u will smell it.lol. called them and its only organic based.
Yes its organic and natural based, but i seriously dont believe its any less organic than any other "organic" nutes. Its NOP certified and member of other Organics programs, which like OMRI just means they met a minimum criteria. Believe OMRI just means its 51% organic.
It also means it can be mostly chems with very little organic ingredients. It is sort of like saying something is made with "natural" ingredients - it doesn't mean jack shit. I can tell you right now there is no way in hell that ANYTHING with numbers as high as Age Old is actually organic.
Thats what it COULD mean. But no one here knows that. How could numbers that high not be possible? Its a concentrate from guanos and kelp..not raggin but pretty sure I see guanos and kelps on the shelves with higher NPK values than Age Old has. Concentration levels would obviously be different, but just values doesn't mean much. Just like 1 bottle of 0-2-4 could be completely different in concentration than another 0-2-4. I've made soils and helped make full organic teas that would blow Age Old numbers away. Just saying, its just as organic as anything else 'called' organic out there. OMRI don't mean shit either.
yes the NPK is a dead give away and the smell is even more of a give away. theirs no way in hell you can have seaweed and fish and not smell it. its just a misleading name. they got in trouble back in the day saying they were 100$ organic and had to change their old labels. if trying to go organic, making ur own teas in best or building ur own soil like subcools super soil is best. even the
General organics isnt 100% organic but its allot more then age old.
stuff still works but just wanted to let you guys know that think ur keeping it organic you really arnt. pissed me off to find this out after i bought some and wasted my money because i was trying to keep it organic.
Correct, i never believed it was 100% but nor do I believe anything is 100%. Again, aggressive organic pk boosts just simply mean guano concentrates or teas- which again can be more aggressive that Age Old by far. I was working on trying to put together an organic boost similar to that of
MOAB- well, i was able to find the goods to get pretty close and that shit is nuts high.
But I do definitely agree, if you want as close as you can get to full organic teas and super soils are definitely where its at. The problem there lies in lack of specific control, works for some folks time after time, but i like being able to tinker.
And there is no reason to scare people away from a perfectly fine, and very well performing "organic" nutrient because no one knows how organic it is, nor what else is in it. Assumptions based off smell, numbers, etc are far less than concrete and like i said earlier- no organic is full organic these days, take the good with teh bad if you are buying bottled nutes and try to find the closest to your goal.
