    Fox Farm Open Sesame?

    Could someone please recommend additive(s) to the Foxfarm Line?

    fox farm nutes are a good choice. they have been around the longest and you cant do that without a good product line. I also use it, but as was said above, you could use a carbohydrate supplement like carbo load. I also had issues with a calcium deficiency, therefore, i also use cal/mag to...
