Most really depends on your grow experience, environment, lights, etc
Then you can battle organic vs other stuffs

I use to bottle feed, I honestly don’t have anything against it. Now I’m 100% organic, but I think it’s more of a preference thing. My preference was to simplify the process, don’t get much easier than just watering. But that’s only half the time because I still feed guano, kelp and molasses which drops the ph of my water, so I couldn’t get away from ph’ing the entire time, only on water only days. As far as yields are concerned, it was pretty equal to me. I grow for my wife, she seems to favor the organic grows over the bottle, she said it taste smoother, so that had something to do with me switching over as well. 2 plants ( Photos ) in 5 gal pots both yielded a little over 11oz per plant in both organic and bottle fed plants. I can’t say that’s the case for everyone, but at least that’s what I experienced with both styles of growing.

Thanks for that pal I herd organic is better for taste bud wasn’t sure if I would be sacrificing a larger yield

No problem. I wish I could confirm that from experience, but I don’t medicate so I can only go from word of mouth.
I thought recycled soil would have the nutrients taken out? And I’m doin this for myself but iv only got a small tent and smoke a lot hahah

My 2 cents....
The term organic is so loose amongst growers. You can grow organically in coco...but that isnt the same as having a rich humus living soil and will have different result.
Either way tho... I've tried many different methods through the yrs trying to find what works best for best yields. Hands down without a doubt once I started growing organically my yields were off the charts. Highest being over 7 pounds (dry weight) off of one plant.
Living soil is absolutely amazing... and I wont grow any other way now.

very expensive but you dont need all bottles plus retain much control over feedings as if when everything is already in the soil

"Most hydro guys can get more yield then most organic guys" This is true but only because the lack of talent in the organic fields. Once you get really good at both , i dont think there is a yield advantage either way. 100% organics are harder to build and keep perfect.
Almost every grower agrees that organics taste better. When good judges are present , they win every top spot in taste and terps.

for RO water get the CalMag, otherwise Algamic for softwater, hardwater just use as is... forget all pH downers, stuff is very acidic for base... for long veg u need fishmix as well... if you start under hard light with lightmix keep their feeding schedule... or slightly off... with allmix be careful in the first month or with big pots...
Iv repotted into light mix can you help me with my water quality don’t know if this is good or bad haha

Organic all the way! They're just happier, healthier & stronger plants when your soil is alive & well with no salt build ups. You will notice 100% once you've got the soil microbiology down pat.

Hmm... I almost agree. I'd say its more of an indoor/ outdoor thing though.
A decent organic grower outdoors will wipe the floor in a yield contest every time.
To do it indoors though the natural guys need to be Jedi level to take on even an amateur hydro grower.
Here's one from my favourite outdoors guy. 912greenskell. He grows in composted horse manure with lime as a ph adjuster.
Nothing else other than some sort of liquid pk booster for a few weeks in bloom. To the best of my knowledge anyway.
Shite n sunshine. Can't be beaten!
This is a dutch passion photo of some sort he done. Can't remember which.
Biggest photo I've seen from him was 36ft round, 10ft high and had a dry weight of over 5kilos. Not sure how big this one was but....
And I tried to find it but taking too long so feel free to Google yourselves but I swear to the non existent atheist overlords that I've seen him do a 3lb auto that way.
Dutch passion again. 912greenskell on afn.

man, thanks for that pic... I shall help where I can but it seems this report is incomplete... so far nothing dangerous for your health (bacteria and heavy metals)
I would evaluate info on Ca, Mg, Na, Cl, N, S, Fe etc "chalk", EC + pH
