Where's @DoobieBrother it's been a while

How does everyone feel about organic vs chemical nutes? I know it's a personal preference for growing, but do you organic growers feel the final product of organic is better than chemical or vice versa? Taste, smell, high, ect

The plant is taking up the nutes the same....

End nugs taste the same to me..

I use what is best at the time..

Right now it's DWC with compost teas....best of both worlds.

cleaner, purer taste and smell. You'll find taste that only appear when grown organically.

Yes. All of the above.

I have a crapload of hydrosorb I throw in, makes it more like watering soil.
Thanks, I just want to feel it out, I'll be running some of Doc's stuff in the near future
and I don't want any screwups on my part.
I always use calmag anyway. Thanks again.

Those are the ones to practice on

I agree with ya Gen, if the Chem elements weren't the same as organic elements they wouldn't be able to use them I would imagine. Don't get me wrong I love growing organic outdoor for obvious reasons, but in the past when I've grown the same strain Chem and organic, no one could tell the difference, not even me, I even had someone say they thought the Chem. Tasted better. But I will say this, iif you give your plants too many Chem and there is an obvious od of nutes, that will affect the outcome. But after a nice cure I could never tell the difference and no one out of many people I've shared with could. Just curious because I hear many people say organic for flavor ect but maybe I did my organics wrong, I dunno

My problem with chem is the salts and metal residue they leave behind.
I use a lot of guano high n, high p and worm castings and can recycle
my soil for a couple grows then it goes out in the yard for the garden.
I just recently started using FF Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom.

It's all about a balanced diet..
I for the most part,think it's more about the cure,than anything else..
I got some good organic plants going now

This is what's in this mix
1. Crustacean Meal - NPK along with Chitin and Calcium

2. Kelp Meal - Acadian Seaplants Brand

3. Neem Cake - Ahimsa Brand

4. Karanja Cake - Ahimsa Brand

5. Brix Blend Basalt - Rock Dust Local Brand

6. Gypsum Dust - Mined in Colorado - Calcium and Sulfur

7. Glacial Rock Dust - Gaia Green

8. Oyster Shell Flour - Calcium

&

1 Part Brix Blend Basalt - Trace Minerals and High Paramagnetic Energy
1 Part Gypsum - Locally Mined in Colorado - Calcium and Sulfur
1 Part Oyster Flour - Mined from San Francisco Bay - High in Calcium
1 Part Glacial Rock Dust - Gaia Green Glacial Rock Dust - Trace Minerals
(1 Mineral Kit will mix with 1/2 Yard of soil) 1/2 Yard is = 13.5 Cubic Feet
Use at 4 Cups Per Cubic Foot

Nothing but water for them.and maybe a few teas.

No doubt Oldman, do organics leave behind less salts? Because I thought all nutes were salts as the plant uses them? I could be wrong, maybe it's different salts?

Very nice Gen! That's the type of organic I do when growing outdoor. I make a living ecosystem for the microbes and just add water and molasses to feed them It's the hardest soil to make, but the easiest to maintain

They are different and organic salts are broken down easily by enzymes.
Metal salts aren't, that's the problem in lakes and rivers in agricultural regions
this is a big problem with the Mississippi delta and out into the gulf.

I've been mixing Square foot Gardening mix with a local, compost based soil and some perlite to which I've been feeding NaturalGuard Holly and Evergreen food and adding blood meal....and I only feed twice....once at up-canning and once when she goes into bloom.
I have been gifted rabbit compost to which I'm going to add leaf compost, lime, coir and vermiculite. It should be good to go from there.

Good to know. But would Dolomite lime be beneficial to coco coir? I know that it also neutralizes the pH of the soil. For coco pH of 5.8 is recommended. Would that be a problem?

Taking clones finally so i can flip the led garden soon. Lollipoping them for four heads per plant this time. I have 7 of my pw x og fems in there

i thought the lime didn't have much magnesium because i vaguely remember the garden lime i used was something like 27% calcium and 3% magnesium

that was probably hydrated lime.

Hey Giggles, nice kit. I started with the first digital Rebel and the same lenses. They'll do great to start with. I like all the other goodies they threw in, particularly the grey cards. I'd recommend the next thing you get is a tripod. It really is a must have. Anyway, here's a song for you.

Comes with a full size 59" tripod and case.

Like I said the offer was to good to pass up!!

Finished taking clones and butchering some plants. Now i hear that pillow calling my name
