i got a question. some people swear by some nutrients. lets take fox farms for example....grow big is 6-4-4 and tiger bloom is 2-8-4. now on the other hand we can use something like supernatural gro with an npk of 20-20-20 and supernatural bloom 11-31-15. there is a big difference here, i understand one is organic and one is synthetic. how is it one can be successful with one and another can be successful with the other? ive always wondered about the different results one may get with trying different nutrients.. what do you look for in a good fertilizer? please elaborate on this subject and why it is important to understand these npk values and when you would want to use one product over the other.

also take GH chi foliar spray .2 - 0 - .2 or fox farms big bloom .01 - .3 - .7....how could a product this low in npk actual be of much use? there may be other micronutrients in other products that are helping but these two don't show any of the sort on the back. are there hidden ingredients in these that are helping with our grow?? have u used any of the nutrients mentioned? how about bio bizz bio grow?

hmm, in my experience, i've learned that its not necessarily the largeness of the numbers that matter, so much as the relation between the three. i havent used foxfarm personally -- i split mine with a friend, and he paid more so he kept the original packaging, so i use avian bottle for flower and dasani for veg :):) (pure blend pro, i believe)

Its not always the NPK that tells the story. Read this description of fox farms Big bloom and you'll see it has alot more than NPK.
