I am new at keeping live plants in fact I am waiting on my first order. I purchsaed this plant food but was also told I needed Flourish Excel, the ingredients are organic carbon. Are the these the same thing, ( plant food) ? and do I need to use both...

Nope they are not the same. This leaf zone prevents your the leaves of your plants from getting transparent due to lack of potassium. I would get this leaf zone and flourish excel. And skip seachem flourish. Flourish and flourish excel is not the same. I know kinda confusing at first.

You do not absolutely NEED anything else but a liquid fertilizer is helpful. You can pick up a basic weekly use fertilizer (I use flourish by Seachem) or look into EI dosing (more work, better results). Depending on your plants you may want to look into root tabs (small fertilizer tablet in the substrate under the plant), CO2, and better lighting systems.Research into your plants will determine if you need to upgrade lighting and use CO2. All told, I do well with eco-complete and the weekly dose of Flourish. I do just as well in my sand substrate though. I prefer eco-complete for size and color. I have not found anything comparable in those factors near the price of eco-complete.

Unfortunately, I've used the entire bottle and I don't have it anymore so I can look at it to check. I'll probably be buying another bottle soon and will let you know ..... I believe Rodelle actually has a seperately packaged product that is specifically organic....... you may want to search their website for it... here's the link http://www.rodellekitchen.com/explore-baking-ingredients/rodelle-organics

It's great plant food though I don't know what nutrients the bamboo may need. I don't think it would hurt to use it--it is 'all purpose' plant food.

Here is the label description: "This 100% plant derived colloidal mineral supplement consists of a natural assortment of over 70 minerals derived from plants growing through the Eden era. Trace amounts of these minerals are essential for health and vitality. These minerals are harvested from a plant material known as humic shale in Utah. They are of the same type found in fruits and vegetables. They are nontoxic, water soluble, and more easily assimilated than metallic minerals. BURIED TREASURE Pure Plant Source minerals provide a concentration of 30,000 mg. per liter and help support health and longevity." A secret I discovered, these minerals are sourced from the same place that 'Majestic Earth' minerals are, and the cost is half as much!!! Dr. Wallach produces these as well as "Majestic Earth". They are natural and pure, no gmo. Also, I notice that others suggest mixing with grape juice. However, to me, it makes the taste bitter, it's much better mixed with apple juice. Hope this helps!

When I questioned Libby's about their organic corn, I was told that they used all USA grown unless there was a shortage and they had to import enough to do their canning. Hope this helps.

I don't know if it's changed--but the way is cooks is the best. ONLY PROBLEM, I want to know if the corn is TRULY ORGANIC. It should be called ORGANICALLY GROWN QUINOA-CORN BLEND--- that is if it is truly Organic. Would be nice to know the % of each so one can balance this knowledge with a diet being consumed.

Hello Sarah, this is an organic product, meaning done with natural ingredients. That's why the description its correct.

Hey Orianna - What I intended to 're-order' was the following brand: 'Nature's Elements' Activated Charcoal which does contain veggie caps. Not sure why I went with Nature's Way instead. I just now attempted to pull it up on Amazon's website and it looks like it's been deleted altogether by Amazon. I found a link where we can both purchase this product: http://www.homesteadmarket.com/product/221/brand_natural_elements?utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm;_source=googlebase&cvsfa;=2958&cvsfe;=2&cvsfhu;=323231&gclid;=CP_9m4_SrboCFdJj7AodcnAA5w

I don't have time right now to Google it, but I know it's listed on the back and if you Google RTI Extreme Gardening 4402 Label it will probably come up. I do know that I HIGHLY recommend this product. It's too long to go into but these people buy direct from one of the very few manufacturers. I researched all this a long timg ago when I first started using Mycos. It's not just about how many spores per/unit measure, but the quality of those spores. I have had the local college put my roots under a microscope, more than a few times, and make sure I was getting inoculation. You might want to also look at their product that comes in packets. You just put the packet in the bottom of your hole or container you are transplanting into, put the rootball on top and finish transplant. Biodegradable. Most of the other companies.......well the quality is just not the same, for example they will buy from a middleman and then amend (like adding powdered humic, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate) their product. Go to the RTI website, you might find the label there also. RTI is a quality company. I guess I might sound like a shill, but trust me, I depend on mycos inoculation in a big way, I have done the research. Also, 134 spores per gram sounds a little high. That's usually an indication the company is fudging somewhere. The only other Mycos product I would recommend is Great White, but RTI has given me consistent results for over 4 years now.

thanks much. i appreciate your feedback. i wonder why most supplements on amazon do NOT list all ingredients? and why doesn't the supplier answer questions as well??!! strange...

That's the terminology they use for their own internal standards. FDA doesn't monitor essential oils. You could check to see if the plants used are certified organic. I bought a couple of sets but the only thing that worries me about this company is how little information is provided about who they are and what they do. You can't even navigate their website properly, and their facebook page has not been updated for a while.

I use live plants in all my tanks. Live plants give out oxygen, remove CO2, and depending on the fish they may also snack off of them. I have never had an issue with my live plants making my tanks feel dirty and since I have switched from silk to live I'd had a much higher survival rate with my fish. Just make sure you get hardy plants that can survive with regular indoor lighting or you'll have issues with them living in this tank without making modifications.

It's my understanding that Miracle-Gro no longer produces this product. I also received the foam which I don't care for. Miracle-Gro does produce a liquid concentrate All Purpose Plant Food. It's in a yellow 32 fl oz container and you mix it with water. It can be used in the Garden or for house plants. I'm just about out of the discontinued item but I do have the one I just described and can only hope it will replace the one everyone seemed to like. Good Luck! Betty A

I just spoke with Tom at Life Extension. He didn't say corn derived. He said it was synthetically derived. I tried a "natto" derived supplement and experienced terrible stomach upset. Even though it's synthetically derived, I consider it the lesser of two evils.

I expanded the label here and besides other information it says its from extremely clean sea water. If you click where it says to expand the small labels eill become enlarged too sobyou can read other details. Our garden seems to be growing well and we wanted to increase mineral contents. John on growingyourgreens.com uses it. Hes also on youtube. Sorry for any typos
