Why don't you tell me more about how you concluded that your organic crop tasted better. I'm willing to stand corrected but so far nobody has offered up anything more than "trust me" and I don't have any reason to trust you.
That's the thing, that organic is "better for you" than conventionally grown cannabis isn't something anyone has demonstrated to be true. You're assuming it is, but what are you basing that assumption on?
i said the better foryou part to get your goat. I got no idea really, but what I do know is it tastes better to me. There is no way to convey this to you. I cant prove it to you. how could I? I dont need to convince you. Playing devils advocate on the subject is cool by me but you should try it then speak of it. if you have already, and taste no difference, then we have to agree to disagree is all. I rest my case.
I grow in peat in reusable pots and I reuse my peat. I get a lb every harvest out of 6 plants and I use about a lb of water soluble chemical nutrients to get that. When I do rotate out the used peat it ends up in flower gardens that are fertilized organically. I consider my environmental splash very small. Not in Hydoponic. I don't lose harvests either and my variables are certainly less than they were when I did organic.
Gas Chrome testing - I tested all my products before they hit the shelves. If I bought from you - YOU had to have it tested before I bought it! You brought it in and I sent it out. I would not accept testing reports YOU brought in with you.. I sent mine to a certain person for years - the state took away his cert. so I went to IRON LABS after that.
VERY correct! I've made that point many times here. Good place for it to be posted again.
I have been getting into organics for a year or so an have never heard about this so forgive my ignorance on the subject. With that said what would be a good replacement for those guano's and where would be the best place to obtain them?
Not really. Any chance of a pic of one of these reports...specifically where it gives the ranges of cans and terps. Even better, a pic of an organic one and a non. Not necessarily doubting you, but just because Dr. Who says its true does not make it any more than hearsay to strangers on the internet. I ran organic for years, switched to chems and after a little more than a year I had dialed things in for my grow and the strains I was growing utilizing a 20/10/20 as my base while only adding epsom, and K2SO4. Now 4 years later my yields have never been better, my plants look great from day 1 to harvest and if anything the smoke is better. The biggest advantage (over and above not worrying about quantities of 15 different ingredients that I used to muck with when doing organic) my grows have become mechanical in a way I never achieved with organic. And it is still FIRE. Like the gentleman above who said he had the best in town...well he does not live in my town then. 3/4 of that lb (actually closer to 21 zips) that I spoke of above is claimed every grow even before I harvest. Some day I will get them tested but until then I will just use returning smiling faces and their compliments as my guide.
Ever sense the raid last feb. The shops are closed down and I just don't have those of that type! From Iron Labs either (at least I never asked for them)....I don't keep that shit around either. All I need is the FEDs to swoop in and use past ones as proof of amounts to slam me with back tax's - They did that to Harborside in Frisco!
It's just what we like! Just like you guys liking synthetic's....Choice is great!
I think it has something to do with the symbiotic relationship between substrate and plant. The miles of filament messages, the various fungus', the micro beasts within etc. its the fight and search for needs perhaps. I think of a person who gets all they need while in bed with an IV or the like compared to the one who must cook his food chew it and crap it out, the one who has to grow his own roughage and work for it, and sometimes do without food too. These things may have something to do with the differences I dunno. I loved my hydro, no issues really, till poured a bag or organicare over some promix and never looked back. all in my head? maybe. I know folks that think schwag is tops too, so its all very subjective.
Last year I had a cluster of lobelia plants in a 1 gallon pot that ended up being an interesting experiment in organic + synthetic.
