My 10 yr opinion is anything that has not been flushed with Florakleen is an inferior product no If's And's or But's about it. Giving ur plant 3x's the normal water is drowning it and spreading the watering out over time is just that, watering. You will always have some sort of build up from the growing process, organic or not. All food even food made from other plants will over time and process have a build up of some level of mineral at the very least and there is a noticeable difference if u dont use this product. It makes ur buds have their natural taste and that nice clean crisp snap to the taste. I have tested this many many times and not just with my own garden but others who feel theirs is awesome. It is not unless you use this product.
