Hey fotpharmer,
I use their line up including the boosters, seem to work for me just fine. Quite easy to use, have thought about trying something different but don't want to deal with the hassel of dialing in a new line so I'm satisfied with what fox farms is doing for me View attachment 127799
I too am growing in pro-mix and if your using the boosters make sure to flush good at the end. Grow on, Fred
Just noticed your in organic soil fourm, only the Big Bloom is organic the Grow Big,Tiger and powders aren't, Fred
What ratios are you feeding them, if you don't mind me asking? Which boosters are you reffering too?
I have enjoyed the dry fertilizer in their Peace Of Mind line and recently had to reup to their replacement line, Happy Frog. I use these dry mixes to partly amend used fox farm soils. Also I use small amounts of Big Bloom for supplemental feedings between some teas.
They have a new myco liquid that has positive feedback on the forums that I may try down the road.
Fox Farm has the organic aura but their line is more of an an intermediary between synthetic and organic. The last I heard, only 2 of their products are free of synthetics and those aren't OMRI listed which, doesn't necessarily negate a product, but is something I would expect a large, commercial outfit (ie can afford the hassle and is selling an organic product), to want to show off. Maybe seems nit-picky on the surface, but some perspective worth thinking about.
It only needs to be 95% organic to be labeled organic. Many lines of pure organics are not OMRI listed, cuz they don't want to pay for the listing. The entire General Organics line is all organic and not OMRI certified.
You're right. I'll amend my statement: something I would expect a large, commercial outfit (ie can afford certification and is willing to go through the hassle), to want to show off. Better?something I would expect a large, commercial outfit (ie can afford the hassle and is selling an organic product),to want to show off.
So you just use soil, teas and big bloom? What kind of soil do you use? What do you put in your teas?
Oh I reuse my old soil, mostly Ocean Forest. I don't buy much soil anymore except for clones here and there. Thats why I use their dry mixes, to re-amend old used soils. lol yeah there would be burning going on if you put anything extra in Ocean Forest fresh out of the bag!
Teas; check this forum you'll find lots of recipes. But the basics is Molasses, Maxi Crop, & Earth Worm Castings.
I don't know how many % organic Big Bloom is but for what it is worth I have a story. I had like a 5+ year old stash of the original FF nutes and wrote to them asking if I could still use them. They reassured me Big Bloom was the only one of the three that was truly organic and because of that it should be even better than it was they day I bought it. I posted their email on RIU a couple years ago. I used the rest of the bottle ;)
