Haha yeah no joke. I told him you don't gotta with organically he was yeah you do unless you want really earthy tasting bud I told him I've done 2 cycles with organics and it hasn't tasted earthy to me and you only flush when your growing in hydro if it's coco or water or any kinda of chemical nutrients. What's a good organic base soil or what do you guys use? I've used ocean forest it's ok but it's not true organic I just want a plain organic soil than add in my organic nutes like sub cool does.

lol that's the first time I've heard that one, usually people claim flushing removes a "chemical" taste.
You're going to get some awesome tasting flowers with organics, an "earthy" taste would come from the strain. I actually enjoy the earthy and hashish tasting Kush strains.

I like to go easy on molasses and teas last few weeks. But my no means flush anything. Mg in molasses can cause a harsh smoke

Yeah when I first started growing in organic I read you don't have to flush or anything like that, they stuff he's told me about growing is a lot diff than what I've read on sites and on it and what I've been doing and my buds are perfect and I like them and my friends do too!

Haha yeah. I found that all the advise I ever got from the local experts (hydro store guys) was mostly bullshit. If your herb is good you know it. Lol don't worry about what other growers say. I try to be a realist. It can always be better. But most growers are lost ime.

Yeah I know what you mean they always try and sell me way more than I need I usually buy my stuff online it's way cheaper if I can get cheap shipping or free. I like to keep it simple and not have a ton of stuff to grow some bud. Funny thing is that buddy of mine is wanting to start a business once the commerical part of it is legal up here. Im going to too but a small boutique style grow business. I'm just trying to get some bigger grows under my belt and trying to figure out if I want to grow in all organic or coco I've grown a lot in coco.

All organic! Just gotta give it a chance to get your style and routine down. It's more like creating great soil and let the weed find its full genetic potential. Also recycling soil is a plus. Lotsa $ saved over long run.

mmm, me too, I remember a NICE earthy equatorial sativa that BLASTED me... tasted just like worm-casting smells
That plant was such a complete whore to trim.. but MAN was it some good smoke
and that's not even mentioning it's 120 day flower period... I literally flower other strains twice during the time it took for that one to mature (never actually matured, kept sending little foxtails up)

Yeah true that, that is very true too to recycle the soil, yeah I'm sticking to only like 2 or 3 strains maybe even 4 at very top. Im gonna grow the same strain one in coco with Cana coco nutes and one in organic only water and see how the tastes differ from one another never seen them in person the diff growing mediums.

I will it'll probably be two critical mass clones I have a mother plant of it and she's big enough to take some cuttings from.

if you are into experimenting I would suggest a side by side on coco vs peat,
Eventually I want to do a peat vs leaf mold.
if only leaf mold didn't take so damn long to make.
The reason I suggest that, is if you like coco, try the peat, it worked better for me, consistently. Better CEC also.
