I'm excited to see those seeds pop man
How To Use Progressive Web App aka PWA On 420 Magazine Forum

I can tell you that Vulx has a very high adsorption capacity, very high surface area, a very high cation exchange capacity, and the ability to retain a lot of water. Not only can they be measured, but the logical conclusion from combining those things is that it would be a really freakin' awesome amendment.
Yes, our ingredients and some of our processing steps are proprietary, but there's no woo in the terms I use to describe it. "Nanotech" would be the closest thing, but the process to make it into this fine powder is literally called nanotech milling.
Vulx is Clean Green Certified, too, so even if you don't quite know what is in it, you can be sure that it's not harmful to your plants. The Fertilizer and Agriculture Gods™ have deemed my current ingredients list satisfactory: volcanic rock dust.
Thanks for taking the time to post!
You are probably right that I used mysterious in a negative way. I apologizing for that. I can be very skeptical and over scrutinize marketing claims. I'm a cheap motherfucker. I had been looking at vulx from the grows here and the ingredients were elusive. So it's a volcanic rock dust that has gone through a proprietary process and it's name is Vulx?
I'm fairly new here at 420 and appreciate the product reviews. So far I purchased Budget LED red specs and started using mega crop yesterday, so many thanks to the growers here that test these products.
Nothing. Adsorption capacity on its own isn't indicative of how available nutrients are, just that they are retained in the soil solution.
But it would not be indicative of how well soil retains nutrients or how well crops take them up - it is an indication of how little is leached out which is caused by a combination of both of those things.
High CEC
Adsorption Capacity
Extremely high surface area
Negative charge
Individually these don't mean much. It's their combination that makes it effective.
Also important to note that high CEC isn't exclusive to organic material.

From what I'm reading between your lines is that VLUX is some sort of clay??
I couldn't find the actual ingredients in your MSDS, so I gotta assume ..... which I prefer knowing exactly whats in the stuff I'm consuming. That's just me tho.
CEC or cation exchange capacity is the ability of SOIL to retain exchangeable cations.
You mention;
What context would soil NOT be organic material??
Not trying to be a negative nanny here just trying to understand the material that makes up your product. I'm sure it works but I have a specific soil mix and I want to know what exactly is in any amendments. When you mention non-organic material that makes me wonder even more. I'm an organic farmer. The soil is the most important part of my farming. I cant grow without it.
