and how do you know the company you buy from doesnt touch kids or beat thier wife or cheat or lie or do anything?? ..... just because someone uses a product that is one of the best on the market ( fact ) doesnt mean they support something one of the guys in charge did!! i just found out about that stuff myself after i had already purchesed the products, and besides im sure there is atleast one thing you use or eat or drink everyday that was made by very very bad person!!...... i get what your point is! really i understand what your saying perfectly but your the one thats not getting the point!! that being its ok for you to use whatever it is that you use and its also ok that i and others use what we want to use!! i mean am i sitting here blasting you for being cheap and feeding your babys crap?? nope im not! but hey thats your choice and noone has the right to attack you for it!!
Well, I don't buy synthetic nutrients. I go to a feed store and buy bags of kelp meal and alfalfa meal.... but that's beside the point.
What I and others are saying is that the salts that AN use in their line is no different/better than the likes of JR Peters, House and Garden, etc. They are just higher priced, with fancier pics on the bottle.
But, you're right. Nobody should tell you what to do. If what you're using is working for you then rock on. As long as you are aware that you're paying more than you need to, and the guy behind the bottle is a perv, then it's your prerogative. Myself, if I were to find out that I'm supporting a shady character with a product that I'm buying I would look at other options. Consumers speak with their wallet, and for me personally I try to steer clear of unscrupulous people and businesses.
