this isnt just about their bottle or that 1 particular bottle..its all copmaines and almost all nutes out there. and its not realy about trying to misslead the consumer. it has more to do with being able to have nutrients aproved by agriculture for the sale in each state. like say florida, they demand that we have their state logo on each bottle just for thier state. thats why we wont even bother trying to have anything approved in that state as its way to costly to make a label just devoted to 1 state. there are alot of totaly safe ingredienbts that nute co use but the amercan gov dont want it..like items with blood in it or fish emulshions. some co just need to word the label in a certain way to get past the aprovals.
i dont have the recipe right here infront of me at home but ill see what i can do about a slip up...lol
in our field there is a non disclosiure thing that unless an item is harmfull to us or the environment we dont need to label it. ..and food industry is the same. why are we not allowed to know what the kernals recipe of 17 herbs n spices are,...??? same idea. these are the items that makes each co be diff from the others.
then there is how the item was processed to a nute form. it may have been organic to begin witgh but after its processed they loose that

i think im ok to post this info as it has been done so by my owners already and this item isnt on any label...triacantonol..it is in both our finisher and massive bloom formulas..but yet isnt on any labels. sdame as super thrive they use triacantonol but not many even knew that....including us, till recently. or with B vitamins, not many list all the b`s they use but there are usualy many in a certain bottle. nothing bad just a way to keep a certain product better than the competition
more is say a micro...baciluss subtiluss...it mazy be on the label for pm controls but what one...there are many many diff ones within that family...again, nothing bad about that.

im looking at a label of one of our own and i see only 6 items listed on it but yet i know for fact there is probably 10 times that in it. and is why we dont do the omri as then our recipe would be public knowledge....again omri will pass anything that i tell them is in it by my word alone. they suck and is just a money grab.

As someone who has used the entire Fox Farms line this past grow, I can say its alright. I'd go with something else tho.

It was my understanding that Big Bloom was organic according to Fox Farms. However, when I looked up the OMRI listing, Fox Farms has ZERO products listed as organic by OMRI. Now I don't know enough about the nute industry to determine if that means they are entirely NOT organic, or whether it just means that they are organic, albeit just not listed on the OMRI listing. Whatever....I could care less if it is or isn't organic. They are alright nutes, I'd try something else before using them again tho. Gonna run House & Garden full line next cycle. :)

Here's the entire OMRI listing sorted by Company....you can see whats listed as OMRI approved.

If your that interested nutrients being entirely organic, using only stuff on this list is a good step towards that goal...
