Actually, with your success I was going to purchase a trial, and apparently final, bottle of this magic elixer. Now that I know more about it I think I will pass. But keep in mind my leggy plants suffered considerably this season while enduring a completely new growing system -- and they look nothing like your beauties. So, maybe there is something to the happy medium you seem to have found here.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14459198350592190801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-55459056531644239202009-04-09T15:08:00.000-07:002009-04-09T15:08:00.000-07:00Thanks for clearing things up Autumn!

I had bought the quart size and treated it like it was liquid gold. This year I went the Organic Miracle Grow route. Dont judge me! I'm a state worker- I had to make budget cuts somewhere!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03056395799217097118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-62536884403086337732009-04-09T13:04:00.000-07:002009-04-09T13:04:00.000-07:00Autumn,Not a problem.

It's not like we paid $40 for a bottle of repackaged Miracle Gro -- but it's pretty clear that the firm that makes Omega 666 was importing ammonium sulfate (same stuff in Miracle Grow) from Illinois. A California investigator found two boxcar shipments of the stuff in Salinas. This firm manufactures a lot of different stuff, and nobody is quite sure how much sulfate was getting used in each product, but it's pretty clear that organic rules were not only bent -- but blown apart with a box of TNT. I still like the stuff though. It's got something in it.Bill Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816389236294882066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-51030159235512519562009-04-09T12:26:00.000-07:002009-04-09T12:26:00.000-07:00Hi there,Great post! This is Autumn from Peaceful ...Hi there,<BR/><BR/>Great post! This is Autumn from Peaceful Valley and I thought I'd clear up the future fate of Omega 6-6-6... Although this product is NOP compliant (complies with the rules & regs of the National Organic Program), its manufacturer has since decided to stop answering organic certifier requests for further information (certifying agencies are requesting information that would jeopardize trade secrets). For farmers who are certified organic, effective May 1, 2009, this product will no longer be allowed by CCOF because it is not OMRI or WSDA listed.<BR/><BR/>We are working quickly to find a comparable organic product for our customers - gardeners and farmers alike! In the meantime, we still have a limited supply of Omega products on our shelves :-)<BR/><BR/>As a side note, may I repost your blog post on our blog: intheloop.groworganic.com? I think other customers would enjoy the product comparison!<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>AutumnAutumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14444345825818616276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-87319007244744649652009-04-09T07:23:00.000-07:002009-04-09T07:23:00.000-07:00CtQB-its still listed on their website!http://www....CtQB-<BR/><BR/>its still listed on their website!<BR/><BR/>http://www.groworganic.com/item_F1812_Omega_666_Gallon.html<BR/><BR/>garryGarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726499603894954026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-36324464722230108162009-04-08T20:45:00.000-07:002009-04-08T20:45:00.000-07:00I have used this stuff as well.

But the last I heard they weren't going to be carrying it anymore because it was no longer certified as being organic- have you heard anything about that? I keep meaning to call them to see.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03056395799217097118noreply@blogger.com
