Hope the 600 is all well have a good week guys, will post a bit more when the garden is back in better order.

YUP! Organic processes are just those, processes. I started with organics and switched to hydro, and noticed a stunning jump in performance. And I'll let you in on a little secret. All the growers I know pish on me for using mineral nutrients and Hydro techniques. Until I'm done 2 weeks earlier, and they're all smoking it anyways...LOL.
I find Organics more forgiving and lower maintenance. Yield shouldn't suffer very much. Maybe a zip a plant worst case...
yeah.... hydro is better, hehe.
The way I understand it, hydro has higher oxygen levels in the root zone, which translates to faster nutrient uptake and a stronger root zone. Since hydo uses chemical ferts in a ready to consume state, the growth rates are much faster. With organics, there is much going on behind the scenes to break down the organic matter to usable forms of nutrients for the plant to consume. I'm not going to pretend to know as much as afraw, sounds like he knows his organics and doesn't play!
With hydroponic methods, nutrients are given to the roots in a state that is immediately available. With organics, you rely on the processes described in my Soil Notes that I linked. Think of it as going out to eat vs cooking at home. When you cook at home, (Organics) it takes a little longer to eat, because you must prepare the food to be edible. When you dine out, it is much faster because the food arrives in a form you can consume immediately. Of course people who eat out a lot are larger (Higher Yield) but not necessarily healthier. (Organic Taste)
