New here and love it so far so here's another topic i've been thinking about. I started growing with soil and organic fertilizers. It's the only way i've ever done it. BUT the challenges are very real in a greenhouse setting, and it is always months of babysitting. I'm going indoors this winter, so considering changing my approach for that.
I have friends(most that grow actually) that only use chem fertilizers fed through lines whether in a gh or indoors. They spray harsh ass shit I won't mention that makes bugs not even want to come close. This can effectively make it automated, with little worries of infestation and great confidence in getting an optimal harvest. I really don't like their weed though, It all kinda ends up tasting/smelling like the chems no matter how flushed they are. I don't think you can eliminate all traces of it. Don't get me wrong, it's top shelf. It is some of the prettiest weed and most consumers wouldn't know any better, but it tastes "fake" to me.
I do want good yields without sacrificing my goals, so i'm considering mineral fertilizers. Anybody out there that has grown with chems and gone to mineral based with comparable yields? How about vs dry amendments indoors?
