Ok guys, this isn’t a sales pitch, I have zero interest money wise in this line. But I thought I would give you a heads up, as I have NEVER seen anything make my plants start growing like this virtually overnight. It is a organic line in powdered form and some of there stuff is also liquid. It is made from all plant matter, and fermented in vats from what I can gather. Some of you no doubt have already see it. It is pretty much for organic growing. I got a sample pack to try it out and made up a gallon of solution, it is much like using Dakine mix in a small amount of water and then pour into your watering jug to dilute. It has literally made my new starts JUMP in the last 3 days since I started trying it. I started these regular seeds with neutral soil, just 50/50 pearlite and coco, with about 10% biochar. I started them with Crop Salts nutrient line. They did ok, but just ok. Three days ago I did a full water with the Organics alive line. They have two veg powders, and some liquid adds (3)
They went from chugging along to absolutely killer health and growth. I am quite frankly stunned. I have probably used 15 different lines of nutrients.
I couldn’t be happier. It is a little pricy but not bad. A lb of powder is around $35 to $25 in price. a pound will make about 90 gallons of feed water 5grams per gallon, and in some cases the use drops to 2.5 grams of the same powder at different stages. the additives are at 1-4 ml per gallon
This stuff is the bomb!! 100% Organic. Just thought I would let you know my experience with it. Bought the whole line. About $250 Actually I bought the 6 plant bundle, it’s not everything they have but it has a bunch of additives and all the main powders.
Wow Marty, looks exceptional, cant believe the difference the morning after. Thanks for sharing your review. Sorry I dont see you put the name of your nutes in the post? You need to share!
Looks nice, wonder if theres some kind of growth hormone in it IE kelp extract etc, tried to find the MDS/formulation info on the site but it only list nutritional ingredients…

Been really busy of late. haven’t been on the forum much.
Ok I am not sure they still have it, but I first got a sample pack they were selling for $19.99, It has four of their dry powders, and 4 of their liquid supplements.
Their site is very confusing and they don’t have much info up there on some stuff. But they have a feed chart so you can look at that and see what you will need.
What I used was their 10-2-2 dry soluble powder their transition dry soluble powder and Three of their liquid additives all mixed into the same feed water.
It is a dry powder nutrient line for the most part, much like the Dakine line. They have two “boost” liquid additives one for veg and one for flower. I got their 6 plant package and they include everything that you will need. It was I believe $238 if my memory serves you get 4 liquids and 5 different dry powders two for veg, two for flower one micro powder. Mine is shipped but not here yet, it is a fermentation process and according to them it is 100% organic not derived from minerals or animal products. All I know is this shit kicks ass. No plant hormones according to them. I also picked up their two boosters spent a total of $314 for all of it.
Here is this morning, and they are going in their final pots today as well.
Thanks for that information. I just ordered their sample package. I’m going to try to build a light fuxture that @PreyBird1 made and posted a few days ago and will test those nutrients and new light fixture on my next grow!
I just was on a quick chat with Organics Alive about how to use their sample pack that I got. I told the guy I’m going to try using an automated watering system for the first time as well.
Regarding the five liquids in the sample pack (pictured), he said they don’t recommend using them in a reservoir with auto watering because they need to be used “fresh” and not sitting in the water bucket. He said mix and use them fresh, either by foliar spray or top feed.
But you haven’t had any problems just putting the liquids in the water reservoir, right?
Art I already told you that. DON’T put the liquids in a reservoir. And it is more than just being “fresh” they separate out if you put them in with the dry organic powders. I am not sure if all of them separate, but I made up some veg mix, using the 10-2-2 and the 4-5-5 and then added the V micro, the V cal, the FPT and the FPF and they mix fine together when you first put them together, leave them sit a day and they start separating i am not sure which of them is causing it, or if it is a combination of all of them.
NEVER put the Castor bean in it is foliar ONLY. the other 4 can be mixed in with the dry soluble, but it needs to be used immediately. You can;t let it sit around for a day or two.
I gave you the formula for the foliar spray, in an earlier post. That stays in solution or can be shaken back up till it is all dissolved again, but I guess the best practice would be to just make up only what you need of either.
I suspect that it is the FPF fermented grain that is separating. What ever it is it is brown, and that narrows it down to either the humic acid or the grain. It turns into long strings of brown floating around, and it doesn’t go back into solution. whether it is usable by the plant if it gets down into the soil I have no idea.
There information on their website is horrible. They used to have information on each product in the additional info sections next to a picture of the products, either they got into some kind of hot water, or they are just updating it I have no idea, but they took it all off the web pages. They also told me they had a problem with the V micro liquid so now all you can get is the powder. Maybe that is what was making everything separate. The dry V micro is just a top dress. Zero instructions with it, brown paper bag no usage instructions. I have had to ask virtually every question I had about how to use it. There dry powders are great, there info sucks big time. You can scroll up and get the foliar feed formula I gave you, it’s in a earlier post from me.
