Big Bloom is it bad? (stinky?)

I don't believe it's OMRI listed, but rather, 'organic-based'. I'd actually consider PBP to be a fert that is closer to what we want something truly organic to be, like the fact that it's loaded with humates that prevent that salty residue crud from falling out of solution. Did you know that one of the neat things about humic acid is that it actually prevents chemical interactions in the bottle and in the soil? It's called a 'chelating' property from the Greek 'chelos' for 'claw'- it sort of surrounds the ion and makes it nonreactive to other ions in the solution, but still available to the plant. If I were running FF, I think I would also be running a humate product like Soil Syrup or Diamond NEctar (I think that is the Leonardite product? )
Anyway... back to the lab... ugh..

Says Organic on the bottle, but it wouldn't matter much to me either way. I flush well, and cure well. (for the most part, lol)

I've got about 2 oz of Soil Syrup left in the bottle. I add a quarter (veg) to a half (flower) dose after my monthly flushes. Any benefits in adding a tablespoon to a quart of Tiger Bloom to prevent/delay the fall-out in a fresh bottle, or would it promote interactions, rotting, undesirable compounds...?

Thanks for the info guys, i will try both eventually and let you all know my expierence.

RT I wouldn't put it in the bottle, even though it would probably be fine, but using it as a flush agent is AWESOME and also buffers the soil pH p to the high 6's. I'll bet ya dollars to donuts that the #1 reason you have had such a positive experience with FF is getting that humic acid in there during your flushes. The residue it leaves in the soil REALLY protects both soil and plants!
Um... keep doing what you're doing?

Every once in a while I stumble upon a sucessful technique, lol.
Thanks stinky. :jointsmile:
