Did you ever wonder how they work in hydro systems if theres no "ready soil" to provide nutes the whole cycle?

I can say from experience that the 3 part liquids are amazing nutes. Ive used them in soil and hydro with great results. Also used the 3 part in cheap soil from wal mart... which is nothing like ocean forest and had explosive results after first application.

Fox farms makes their products to work together for optimum results. If you are using the soil by itself with no nutes then you are only using 50% of the FF system.
I'm not saying the FF solutions don't work. I have used the Fox Farm 3 part liquid nutrients, as well as their soluble counterparts. They work just fine, so long as you use plenty of PH Up to conteract how acidic the chemicals are.

However, there is no denying the fact that you do not need them. What I do not like about the line is the price, which makes it a snake oil. You are buying mostly water, and that is a fact. Earth Juice offers the same quality nutrients at half the price without any of the added chemicals.

The truth is you can grow quality marijuana with nothing but soil and water. I did it my first grow, and humans have been doing it for thousands of years.
