:joint: I read in Skunk magazine Volume 3, issue 2 in an article by the Rev that Fox Farms Tiger Bloom is not fully organic. It is totally counterproductive because it contains synthetic salts. You build up salts, and kill off microlife. "It is like pouring salt on a slug. It dehydrates the microlife on contact. Not eventually. Not tomorrow. But right then." When I went to the local G shop, a very knowledge rep told me that it was nonsense. I use the Fox Farms line up and add other microlife as well, now I don't know which way to go am really killing the microlife I have been adding in? What the F#$! :confused:

There have been studies that show they work together well. Unless you completely over do it with something like tiger bloom, and over fert the plant anyways of course you will have problems. Many a grower have used them both together with good results.

True. It's not the best, but it's also not like pouring bleach water on the micros either.;-)

Perhaps do a side by side with Earth Juice or Blue Mountain Organics. They are both 100% organic and cheaper than FF to boot.

They may work better, you may want to stick with FF. Only you and your plants will be able to tell and see the results.
