This compant won't publish their label on-line. I also checked the State of Washington database but Algoflash has never sought registration there.

So after lurking some other onlibe Garden forums, I discovered where another fertilizer company professional bought a jar & posted the label online for all to see.

This is what he discovered:

ALGOFLASH

The All Purpose Formula (6-6-6) Contains:

Nitrogen 6%
Phosphorous 6%
Potash 6%
Sulfur 0.9%
Magnesium 0.6%
Iron 0.03%
Zinc 0.0125%
Manganese 0.025%
Copper 0.003%
Boron 0.016%
Molybdenum 0.001%

He ranked it as almost identical to Miracle-Grow except for the weaker analysis & the very unusual addition of Molybdenum (which is rarely deficient).

Since it is less than one third the strength of most soluble fertilizers it should cost one third the price.

As for the testimonies at the website.....caveat emptor.

Bernard Lavery weighed the first pumpkin in the world to go over 700lb...said he used Algoflash. I've tried it, but never found it of any use at all..except on growing giant Radish.

Alun J,
What was the OTT on the radish and did it go heavy or light?Actually I was going to try Agloflash on one of my plants but now it doesn't seem as appealing.Thanks for the help Tremor,if it's barely equal to Miracle Gro than there doesn't seem much point in trying it.

It might still be worth trying....I would really like to read the "nutrients derived from" statement. That will tell the entire story.

Phil,
Biggest Radish I grew had a circumference of 36" , can't remember how long it was, something like 27"-30". It weighed over 25lb. Oh yeah... I got a few seeds from giant radish here if anybody wants them.
