No, i dont. But i know i can taste earth. I can tell ceramic. Earth tastes better. I do believe you could get more syntheticly and i may play with it down the road. As far as more plants, i forrest gumped my way into a 4ft wide 3ft tall plant in an 4×8 tent.sooo i have 3 NL autos im playing with. Im out of room. I just ran my style with 25 years of thinking and thats what i got. 2 weeks seedling, 6weeks veg at 20 hours light, now in 12 hours for 2 weeks today. Im running 2 California light works solar storm 220 full spectrum on top. 2 600 phlizon led on sides along with 1 2ft 8 bulb t5 on side. I rotate plant religiously. The autos have 900watt cob on top and a 4ft 8 bulb t5 on side. I have t5s for veg and end of flower but they seem to not like it when i turn them off so i leave them. I have 2 6" fans 1 intake 1 exhaust. Multiple 6 small fans rotating air in tent. Im looking at 2 clw 1100 with i think cfls already on them. Then the room will be ready. Thanks alot man. Any input is greatly appreciated!!
I don't know a great deal about the lights you are using, aside from inefficiency issues with cfls, but I'll leave it up to you to research things for long term use. The organic thing is a tough one. I guess the best you can do is run a strain a few times to get an idea for the yield. If it's a known strain you will be able to compare yields with other growers and then decide if strictly organic is working out for you. However your lighting choice may also play a role in end yield and complicate comparisons. You may also want to consider W of lighting for gram of end dry weight, of mature bud only. It's a fickle subject but lets say you were using 1k of lighting yet only get 500g mature bud in return, it's likely no worth it unless the strain is something special; nobody has it, everybody wants it. That is assuming organic or lighting is not playing a part in the low yield. You can have too much light indoor, although many may disagree. With the veg and flower times theirs a kind of deminishing return point where you can't grow a plant with enough budding structure to turn the extra light into dry weight (lack of light penetration plays a role). Autos don't typically yield so well, although I recall seing one grower who began getting some damn good results. If you are going for yield you may want to verge on the side of caution and avoid them in future, as most seem to not do so well.
With that in mind, most organic growers suggest that the quality of their bud, taste etc, is superior. I won't make claims either way, they may be bias, or not. It's an avenue for you to look into if quality ranks higher than yield. Some would argue quality/yield go hand in hand and strain dictates all. I tend not to believe that as it indirectly infers that lighting choice thus spectrum plays no role, only W of intensity. That would mean you should be able to flower top shelf green with only blue spectrum, that appears to be false by all accounts, so spectrum clearly pays a role, as does intensity and spread (also growing medium no doubt). I'm just telling you this as a bit of guidance since some of the lighting/etc topics around here have ''some'' heated disagreements with heavily bias or ego invested views. Take them all with a pinch of salt til you've read enough variety to make some kind of balanced choice.
