Ive grown this plant just about every way you can imagine. These days (and for awhile now) its organic compost and rich soil outdoors and coco coir & rockwool slabs with mineral salt fertilizer inside. I did the organic soil (and pricey bottled organic nutes) indoors for a long time. It was more work for basically the same end product. Cannabis is so fast inside. And mineral fertilizer nutes fit the speed. Outside..no question..organic all the way. For me its where both methods shine. The whole taste thing for indoor..I dont know about that. I did a & b tests several times with my patients. Results were inconclusive at best. Onlu my mom got the organic vs. mineral fert right in a blind taste test some of the time. The rest pf my people..nope. Either couldn't tell or the coco and rockwool grown plants with either Canna nutes or Veg + Bloom..they thought was all organic soil grown. This test was awhile ago. And when I did it..for the mineral nute side I used just the base fert only. No addys. The organic soil/compost side was a very rich worked soil thriving with micro life. I work it all year and use it for my outdoor soil beds. I only need to top dress a few goodies during heavy flower with it.
