Veganics and PPM

Ok everyone I recently switched over to the General Organics Veganic Line of nutrients after years of synthetics. When I did synthetics I would push the PPM to about 1000 which seemed to be the sweet spot. Now I am following the feeding chart given to me by General Organics and even at maximum recommended strength the PPM only goes to about 900. Is this because veganic/organic material does not dissolve in water as quickly as synthetics? Do I even need to PPM anymore or just follow the feeding chart?

^^^Yeah at some point I plan to switch over to Subcool's Super Soil and just eliminate mixing shit with my water all together. However until then...

I use plane topsoil and I have a wood burning stove so i put the top soil in and incinerate everything in it and mix some sand with it or coconut soil.. i also grow my own worm castings and mix that in when i transplant. works great for me.

When you say to skip it do you have any info about this being a better mix or is that just your opinion?
Well,

Im in no way down talking on growers who choose to use super soil,
but after years and years of trial and error,
endless hour/days of reading about organics/microorganism/fungi/enzimes etc etc
after taking countless units on sustainability/agriculture and my personal favorite permaculture classes,
and after pounds and pounds of herb that i personally grew,
YES rols is by far superior then sub super soil.
(I would even argue rols is cheaper $$ in the long run)

now i cant really give u articles or grow comparisons between the two styles of grows(although in sure there is) i CAN give u articles backed by scientific research by credible sources on how organics really work.


Once agian im in no way dissing other farmers using super soil. Im just now in the point of life where i want to be more up front with other farmers about how organics really works. And hopefully this information can spark a revolution! Not just with cannabis but with food/sustainabity and for the sake of our future.

Lol I wasn't trying to be a dick I just know that false/exaggerated information is passed around on this site like there is no tomorrow. Based on what you have told me I will give this soil recipe a shot. Thanks
