Botanicare is not organic. It is considered a Synthetic Line. An easy way to test if a product is organic is by using a PPM Pen (Parts Per Million) PPM is measured on a TDS (Total Dissolved Salts/Soultions) scale. Some people read on either a 500 or 700 scale as well as EC (Electrical Conductivity.) Finding your TDS is easy and easily found out what scale a nutrient company is using. Your PPM will read something like 1380 and to find this number you divide it by either 500 or 700 giving you the EC.
Looks like this on paper.
500xEC=PPM
Or
700xEC=PPM
Most meters will read PPM. Some read all scales. EC is usually .0 - 3.0 but you would probably never exceed 2.2 which is very high.

yeehaw.. can you mine the carbonates??? or does it have to be changed to become a carbonate making it not totally organic??? I don't know I aint a purist...just guessing..earth juice is organic and my favorite anyhow
If I recall only one isnt mined....
if they were all mined then it could be organic and natural....
I think potassium carbonate is made from a reaction.....
I suspect they use it becuse it dissolves readily and works better than organic sources....

The Pure Blend Grow and Bloom are both OMRI certified products.
since when???? my bottle has no omri certs like it never did before...yeehaw
Products all have either an ingredient list.....
or a derived from list......
post that info.....and lets look.....
I run the pure blend pro line usually just the bases, hydroplex ,lk, and sweet raw. Last run was just bases and a little booster and i got great results.pics are of last run.

You don't have to take my word for it, I'm sure your smart enough to figure out what's in anything labeled OMRI and most is not what people are led to believe is in them.

I only used it outdoors(veggie garden) and it smelled pretty bad(chicken shit)!Had good results though but was quit a few years back.
