Organic Chemical? What happens to these organic chemicals exactly? I mean, are these organic chemicals mined and put into a bottle, or is there a "chemical" or "organic chemical" process in to which they are made?Ive never understood "Organics" because again the chemicals that go into making Hydro nutes are "Organic Chemicals".
If you go by the chemical definition of the word organic then sure, hydro nutes can be considered organic because they contain carbon. But unless you can collect these mineral salts on your own and process them into fertilizer on your own without the use of additional chemicals and chemical processes, then you can't really consider it organic. I grow with compost and fermented plant extracts as my main source of nutrients. Pretty easy to see why we'd call that organic and say that hydro nutes aren't.
But if you'd really like to find out the difference, read through this thread and grab some info. And give plant-based organics a shot on a couple of your plants, once you've tasted the difference you won't be likely to go back.
