Ok after a couple calls to my local reps and a major distributor in sunlight they have assured me that Fox Farms has indeed NOT been acquired. I apologize for the slander.
However, when a company makes drastic changes to what used to be a great product, changes the label to a possible cancer causing product. I get concerned...
You can see how the 2 things go hand in hand, changing a major label and then the rumor of being bought out by a terrible conglomerate.
Either way, they won't be getting any more soil sales from myself.

Apparently there is cadmium in bat guano and their label didn't reflect the fact. Fox Farms changed their label as a result.
