Astonishingly, every time you go into your local hydroponics store and look at nutrient companies' product labels you’re being robbed of the truth and being forced to make a decision with incomplete information you would need to make the right choice.
That’s right, you don’t have the right to know the truth or what’s really in the product you’re paying for.

In many instances, manufacturers want to add the actual list of ingredients but because the list provided by American Association of Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) is stringent and restricts the labeling section, many ingredients are hidden from buyers. Because of this buyers are unaware of the beneficial ingredients present in the product....

... and your question is ?
and the website to tell us is..............
I don't spend that much time in Hydroponics stores to be honest.

But then again I don't grow copious amounts of ganga so I don't need to I guess.
I never read the labels anyway...
"every time you go into your local hydroponics store"

I don't think we have one of those.
States? Would you be posting from the US on this UK site?
what's a hydroponics.......I don't even have an ipod.
Squarebear I think you would be surprised at how many hydroponics stores there are in the UK.
I've never heard of a local hydroponics store but blow me I've just looked at my local paper online and there in the sponsored ads is 'local hydroponics store'. The internet is a freaky place.
Yeah, the village where I live is full of 'em.



And while we're at it, what is a nutrient company? Cadburys??!!!
Look up Growth Technology or Advanced Nutrients or Canna Nutrients all plant food manufacturers. Most of them being aimed at a specific plant although they don't admit it.

In many instances, manufacturers want to add the actual list of ingredients but because the list provided by American Association of Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) is stringent and restricts the labeling section, many ingredients are hidden from buyers. Because of this buyers are unaware of the beneficial ingredients present in the product. Manufacturers cannot even label the products' ingredients as "other ingredients"; otherwise the product will be yanked from the shop and the manufacturer will be fined. To make it worse each state has different label laws which the manufacturer has to follow.
Here's another problem, many companies do constant research to improve their products and when they produce such products they can't even label them "new and improved" because that would include submitting new labels with reports to 50 state regulators for every product every year, which is a very expensive procedure.
