Are FoxFarm Liquid Nutes Organic?

Is the line Foxfarms Liquid Nutes (Grow Big, Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom) Organic? Ive been reading much info on Soil Mix Recycling like the 3lbs did and some say that you can run into problems "Remixing" if you use Pbp or the Foxfarms Liquid Nutes. Is this true? To recycle soil mix do you have to use a %100 Organic Solution?

The problem with recycling soil with chemical nutes is that the salts build up to a point dangerous to plants, and to your micro-herd. As for whether FF nutes are organic I think yes but then again I'm just reading where the shit's derived from..they could easily lie.

No organic based...Like said earlier salts build up but they do wash away with enough water as long as you don keep adding them..

Big bloom is 100% organic, the other too are chemical / organic. In my experiences just spending the coupe bucks on fresh soil is ALWAYS worth it. I like always having the same exact results everytime and i unfortunetly dont have the room for a compost pile or anywhere to flush 10 cubic feet of earth at a time lol it's easier to buy two bails of promix or 4 bags of FFOF

So then Pura Vida Organics Grow & Bloom would be good then right? It is OMRI listed, then of course a nice flushing......

I disagree with this. I feel once you have a good patch of organic soil, recycling only gets better as you take care of it. What do you do with your soil in the end, throw it away?

If its truly organic there will be no need to flush.

For the soil the leach the nutrients out would take some time and could be similar to composting. I think that would be your best bet. I think there should be others who have a better response than I.

I read an interesting article in the Hydro Publication "Urban Gardener" recently. It was written by a corporate nutrient shill who argued soil growing is more wasteful than hydroponics since all soil growers apparently throw away their medium. It claimed that recycling\composting used soil is a good idea that no one does.

i believe big bloom is organic but the other two contain trace minerals, and minerals are not organic compounds. minerals can build up in the soil and be bad for plants. i feel fox farm is nice to start with because it is a relly easy system and pretty good quality, but in the end i think there are way better organic nutes (homemade teas, extracts, and composts really are my favorite though). try messin around with mycorrhizae fungi in your soil or lacto bascilli feedings or something too. the fungi allows access to more nutrients so the plant can grow healthier with less fertilizer. organics is too fun

Anyone who uses foxfarm isn't really truly organic. It's why I chimed in im not 100% organic because I use foxfarm nutes. Foxfarm nutes actually stop microbiology shit you got going on. I read a post somewhere on it im way to stoned to dig it up now.

No I don't throw away soil, i use it in the outdoor garden after its flushed. It's still good soil it's just not sterile and I dont got room for that shit its easier just to throw it outside in the field spray it down good and put my crops in it. for indoor runs its a pain in the ass to sterilize and flush 10 cubic feet + of dirt it's easier just to buy a couple bails again and do it again. Plus the flushed dirt makes some tasty tomatoes and corn :)
