Can I use this with my organic grow

I was just wondering if this can be used in an organic soil grow.

I received this as a free sample. I am presently using Neptune's harvest, and am on 6th week in flowering

Stick wit the Neptunes.....but use it on some clones next run and compare it with your Neptunes.

I will but I guess the question I really need answered is, Is this an organic fertilizer, and can it be used in an organic soil grow ??

 

[maryjohn]

the answer is no. potassium phosphate - first on the list - is a salt, which I just learned googling. Salts are not good for soil, due to osmosis issues. Some argue they are also contaminated with heavy metals which accumulate in the plant. Second on the list is one of the ingredients for old time gunpowder (though it can be derived from urine). I stopped after two ingredients.

This product is for conventional growers who feed plants by flooding the media with ions.

Stick with the Neptune's and the microherd if you want to stay organic. How are they treating you, by the way?

I don't know, I thought I read somewhere where someone top dressed their plants with old time gunpowder.

 

[maryjohn]

I believe that was Olde Tyme gunpowder. a fantastic amendment for explosive growth.

that's a ballistically bad joke.

That was a bad one, but funny as hell!!!

Ok thanks for the advice. Guess it will be used as decoration on my shelf.

So far no complaints with Neptune's harvest.

As far as my grow, all is well. Only problems is I utilize a wardrobe closet with 400 watt cooltube. The top leaves are reacting to the intensity. I have trained and rearranged them best I could. Otherwise they are doing great

No. it is one that falls under the `Organic based` category. As, MJ stated it has a high content of salt......among another things.

I thought Hydroplex was used to prevent dampoff in clones. We used it in a bubble cloner if I remember correctly.

[maryjohn]

I don't know about hydroplex burn, but this bloom maximizer is not for organic gardening.

 

[BurnOne]

Maybe it was Hydroguard.

I just looked in a catalog, not only is there nothing organic about it, it's expensive. Make that very expensive.
