Can you grow organics in hydro

Yes you can. Hydroponics means too grow without soil. So if you use a soil-less mix, like coco coir, sphagnum peat moss, perlite, or some mixture of those. And you use only organic hydroponic fertilizer then thats technically organic. But its not as easy as just that. You need to do some research.

i found this on the net
THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN USED WITH SUCCESS IN THE GROWING EDGE SYSTEM
VEG/GENERAL PUPOSE MIX 5 GAL WATER
WARMED TO ROOM TEMP
2 TABLES DRIED EARTHWORMS CASTING
4 TABLESPOONS BAT GUANO(OR 3 TABLESPOONS GUANO W/ 1 TABLESPOONE FISH FLOUR
5 DROPS OF SUPERTHRIVE
1 TESSPOON SOLUBLE SEAWEED POWDER SUCH AS MAXICROP
FISH FLOUR IS INCLUDED FOR EXTRA NITROGEN
DO NOT USE LIQUID FISH EMULSION IN YOUR HYDRO SETUP UNLESS YOU WANT TO WEAR A GAS MASK
FLOWERING/FRUITING MIX
5 GALS WATER LET WARM AT ROOM TEMP
5 TABLESPOONS SEABIRD GUANO
5 DROPS OF SUPERTHRIVE SUPPLEMENT
1 TEASPOON SOLUBLE SEAWEED POWDER SUCH AS MAXICROP
PREMIX ALL INGREDIENTS IN ABOUT ONE PINT OF WATER
(A SECOUND HAND BLENDER WORKS GREAT)
BEFORE ADDING TO THE REMAINING WATER ALLOW MIX TO STAND FOR 24 HOURS STIR OCCASIONALLY SCEEN IF NEED
THIS IS BEST USED IN EBB AND FLOW SYSTEMS
BEFORE MIXING FILL REZ WITH THE WATER TO LET STAND OVERNIGHT
FOR BEST RESULTS THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE CHARGED BEFORE PLANTING THIS IS DONE BY ADDING CATALYST TO THE REZ 1
TABLESPOONS PER A GAL OF WATER LET SYSTEM RUN FOR 72HRS
NEXT YOU WANT TO DRAIN REZ COMPLETELY INTO 5GAL PAIL
THEN REFILL WITH HALF STRENGHT NUTRIENT SOLUTION LET RUN FOR 3 DAYS
THE EMPTY 75%OF THE REZ AND THEN ADD RECOMENDED DOSAGE LET THIS RUN 24 HRS
BEFORE PLANTING
YOU CAN TOP OFF FULL STRENGTH SOLUTION WITH GROW BLOOM AND CATALYST HAF STRENGTH MICROBURST
ONCE YOUR SYSTEM IS CHARGED AND FILLED WITH NUTRIENT YOU CAN ALLOW REZ TO RUN 28 DAYS BEFORE CHANGING
WHEN CHANGING DRAIN AND ADD FREASH SOLUTION DO NOT RINSE MEDIA

This recipe sounds similar to a tea I brew for my soil. The one thing I always add is molasses. It feeds the microorgs and the brand I use, Hi-Brix, is also readily used by the plant as a carb source. But the main reason I use it is because the guano has a tendency to smell like guano!! The molasses does the trick. I admit I brew a very concentrated tea with lots of different shit, literally. Maybe that's why my brew reeks without the molasses. Just my $0.02.

I'm planning on trying maxsea plant food. This stuff has everything but magnesium, so a 1/4 tsp per gal of water fixes that. It costs a little more than $30 delivered through the internet for 1.5 lb. 3 level tsp per gallon of water yields approximately 1000ppm. That's pretty cheap for organic hydro nutes!!

If you add 3 teaspoon per gallon and get 1000 ppm, then it's not 100% organic. It has been supplemented with salt fertilizers.

That's not a bad thing, though. But what do I know? I only make fertilizers for a living. :)
