I've seen a whole bunch of threads on here about people complaining that their organic nutes just aren't cutting it, their plant is showing lots of micronute deficiencies, etc etc.
What should be noted is that fungi and bacteria don't just magically appear, they form as a result of your plant's exudates. That is really important to understand in organic gardening. There is always a balance, and you need to respect that balance. Don't look for quick fixes and miracle solutions in organic gardening, it just won't happen. Be patient and good things will happen. I hope this helps y'all understand some more basics about nutrition.

McCumcumber..... I kind of paraphrased your first post, in the quote above, and agree. Most people that aren't familar with organics, don't get the results they're after. Adding beneficial bacteria and fungi, along with NPK food sources and trace minerals (like with Seaweed Meal, Azomite, etc.), makes all the difference. Feed the soil & let it feed the plant.

Good products for proper organic goodness, include Root's Oregonism XL, Myco-Magic, Plant Success, and Super Plant Tonic (Ebay). That last one is made by a small company, that also adds beneficials to their regular fertilizers. Giving them a real boost right out of the gate.

Other good brands, if you add the beneficials, are Earth Juice, Age Old, and General Organics.

Supersoils are great, if given time to properly cure ( I let mine go 3 months, before ever using them.) Provided you add a non or lightly ammended buffer zone between them, and the roots of your new starts, or not long into veg plants, it's all good.

Growing organically builds stronger plants, that can resist pests and molds easier. They taste better, IMHO, and can yield gram for gram with chemically grown plants, if done right. Finding exactly what a particular strain wants, and dailing it in, usually takes more than one run. So, I prefer to go light on the feeding the first time I run a new strain, then dail up the feeding slowly over the next few runs. I also never run supersoil, the first time I run a new strain. I prefer to use liquids like Grow It Green & Flower Power, so I can get tighter control of feeding on the first run. IMHO it gives you an advantage, by helping you to gauge a strains feeding preference.

Low, Slow & Steady Feeding, makes the best buds.....
