ive always been told that the full flavor that comes from dirt is because dirt is organic,so im thinking if i use the organic hydro nutes instead of normal synthetic stuff then i might get the flavor that dirt gives you.but ive also been told that organic nutes are a little harder to use due to its not as strong so you have to use more and the pests like the organic materials so that could be another battle with bugs that i dont want to deal with.

Has anyone tried Bud Candy in DWC buckets? Any experience with using it with the GH 3 part? I have used it in soil before with success. What worries me is that it's labeled as 100% organic and I would be using it with synthetic nutes. The website says:
Yes, Bud Candy is 100% organic so it fits perfectly with an organic program. It also powers your flowers when you are using synthetic nutrients.

I think the dirt taste actually comes from not being able to truly flush out the soil. Do you run straight water through your hydro at the end?

I heard that soil gave a better taste then hydro. So after I grew hydro, I grew in soil. The soil bud was not better in any way than the hydro, so I tossed that theory out. I dunno what you're using, but I can get a strong flavor in hydro.

i never said that i get a bad taste or anything in hydro,its great and im never going back to dirt,lol,but ive grown the same strain(hindu kush)and the dirt grow was alittle better tasting than the hydro.so i was just wondering how to get that little extra kick,bud candy sounds good but im gonna look in to some other stuff before i decide on something,thanks for all the help guys.

I tried organic aero once------the two don't go together.

Even using a 100 gallon rez-----had to raise the ph every day----you've been warned.

Try some pseudo-organic stuff like FloraBlend or Floralicious Plus as an additive.

try using better nutes like fox farms, if you want the best results use the fox farms trio pack, grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom,

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ADDITIVE IS HUMBOLDT HONEY, BEST SHIT THERE IS FOR GETTING AROMA AND FLAVOR

it is way better than floranectar bud candy or any of those products, if you are gonna trust someone with your weed trust the people who have grown the best weed for over 30 years, people who are from HUMBOLDT

you can run straight water in your dwc when you flush at the end. some products call for very low mix of nutes for a flush. but i think thats so they can sell more nutes....but i have tried both ways and honestly i really do flush any more at all.

i have a few grows under my belt. just a few years and to honest i have had just as much sucess with any nutes i have use. humbolt may bee a great product but the money you spend can be saved by using a cheaper brand with the same results. i use cutting edge solutions and i can tell that i have had great results. and you can email the company today and get a response from the company the same day. save your money and finish with a good bloom at the end.

I'm curious as to why you think it's a superior product.
