depends what you want it for... (which is one of the benefits of tea -- ultimate customisability). so you can brew something with the aim of supplementing your microherd population, or you might want an all-in-one nute solution, or anything in between.
in my case, so much of the grotek lineup is so high in organic material anyways, i'm trying to find a symbiosis of organic/bottled -- the vigour of bottled nutes, the flavour and quality of microherd-fed organics.
So, basically, you want your cake and to eat it too. Well, me too. Here in Cali the Granola Heads are gaining ground. Being a Capitolist above all else, I am feeling the market pressure to offer a full blown organic product. Then I have to deal with my wife quoting Tech S at every turn. I like chemical growing...it's easy and effective. But, times be changing. And it stands to reason that if someone is buying a medicinal herb, they probably want it as natural as possible.
Is there any organic compliance oversight mechanism in place up there, Kitty? All we have here is a couple collectives that do grow room inspections on their vendor's grow ops. They can then give that product their own little stamp of approval. Any Colorado folks here? They seem to be blazing the trail towards full acceptance and regulation. I wonder if there's any organic compliance in the works there.
The fruit and veg organic compliance guidelines here were written by Big Agro...to suit Big Agro. From my understanding, don't use DDT or radiation on the crop and you're "organic"...or something like that. My understanding is that an OMRI cert on a nute costs around 100K. This could mean that only the big boys get the cert, while smaller, and potentially better, nute companies are not seen as compliant. Just what r we to do?
