I've been using their Microfine endo which has 100,000 CFU or propagules per pound.
If you look closely at the reason why their product was stopped in the state of Oregon you will see that it was due to changes in labeling requirements in the state of which hundreds of other reputable producers of these products were also included.
I own the videos, I talk with Joe Jutras, Ron Wallace and Don young who are the top contenders in the Giant Pumpkin growing community. Joe and Don are both growing seed this year from my state record tomato.
There are a few MONSTER pumpkins out there right now that are taping near or over the current world record.
The results have spoken for themselves for me this year being the second year I have used these products.
Last season was my best year with breaking the state record tomato and growing a pumpkin personal best of 823 pounds. I was also #4 in the GPC worldwide competition for giant tomatoes.
This season was even better.
I topped the state record weighing in at 4.83 pounds. .35 pounds heavier than the current Ohio State Record. Off of the 5.58 Timm. Brant Timm's 5.58 Timm 08 was grown off of the 3.9 Catapano 07 which was originally grown from a Lyon's seed which was a Big Zac.
I also grew a tomato which weighed in at 4.14 pounds off of a variety called "BelMonte" which had a perfect classic tomato shape"pics attached". The BelMonte seeds were given to me by Tomatoville member "TomatoAddict" who is the same person who gave me the "church" seeds with which I grew last years state record.
This season, I grew 6 tomatoes over three pounds and 8 over 2.5 pounds. I have two pumpkins in the patch, one weighing just over 900 pounds and one just under 850 pounds and growing.
