Note the "Submitted" levels? Those are for LIQUID big Bud, not the powder which is heavily concentrated. Powder nutes are tested @ 1 gram in 100ml water so naturally the metal levels will be higher. I really suspect this "independant" test. I could not find this test on the Oregon website, i did find the other parts to the post but not this test.Results of Analysis – Heavy Metals (Big Bud)

Glad you switched to Dyna-gro to get away from all those evil AN heavy metals. Just one thing though, check out Dyna-gro's heavy metal report, they are WORSE.

Keep in mind these numbers are 1/3 the concentration of the Big Bud Powder test. It's not like it means they are shit, it just means the more concentrate a fert is , the higher the metal content will be. They test at a specific weight for wet or dry fertilizers for standardization.
The reason dyna-gro metals are high is because they tout they supply ALL micro-nutes and that is where most of the heavy metals are acquired from. Higher micros will result in higher metals, goes hand-in-hand.
