I could’ve been clearer. I was saying it’s interesting that local first has become synonymous with those things. I think it’s important that it doesn’t become ONLY those things.

Finally, I really like the color of the nutrient mix but I haven’t posted it before. One of the ingredients in the masterblend has a blue-green dye. Very nice to mix.
