I have seen a lot of people recommend Fox Farms, I've never really actually had the money to afford it. I was considering it this year.
But when I went in to buy some my local gardening supply store told me that fox farms was not the best nuet especially for it's money. I talked to 3 different people there and they all recommended something different. But they all said that they carry about 5 nuets that were better. The manager even told me he makes more money off of Fox Farms but he's done many tests that all proved Fox Farms to be not as good. Granted these tests were all done on Peppers/Tomatoes.
He explained to me how Fox Farms is over hyped with the whole west coast hype being from cali. As well there claim to be organic but they are not officially registered (with I believe it is the OMDI?) as an organic (because they only use an organic base) as well as there lable being so specific because they didn't pay to get any registered lables. I guess it costs 50K to get research done on your product to actually be able to have an official lable.
He urged me to test it up against another product. He said he would even refund my money (for the other fertilizer) if I still wanted to go with Fox Farms after my testing.
So I am currently testing Fox Farms against David's. I'll get some feedback on here for you guys in a few weeks. I have 44 plants so 22 get FF and 22 get David's. I've only feed (nuets) them once so far they are all about 2 weeks old.
