Well rusty. he stated that he was using synthetic nutrients and switched to organics mid stride and if this was true then yes he did kill a lot of the microbes in the soil. Being that FF is not 100% organic, whatever that could mean.

And I've never said anything about organics being superior to synthetics. I've never said FF is bad. I've even said before that I have used them and like them, see my log. I believe if you read what I have ever written about organics especially earth juice is that I like it because of 1. taste and 2. I don't have to PH it. This was way before PH perfect came out (see above).

Why all the hate on this forum? I thought this were growers come together to figure things out? I mean man your not even following the thread you just come on jump down my throat. Then state to read the FF website, when the dude isn't even using FF anymore. For real homie?

I will stand by what I say. If you use synthetic nutrients or semi synthetic nutrients i.e. Fox Farm and switch to an all organic nutrient (GO) you might run into some problems. Such as the OP is stating. No hard feelings Rusty.
