No, he just has an older label. A few years back state agricultural 
departments would not let us say Flourish was a fertilizer because it 
did not have enough fertilizer ingredients based on the requirements 
of terrestrial farm plants. So we had to come up with a vague and 
useless (for the consumer) description to sell the product. 
Fortunately those laws have since been changed and we can now 
actually say what it is. The product itself never changed, just the 
label.
