This is the point I feel many people miss. The plants don't really give a shit. The thing with organics is about the soil and SOIL health. Not about the plant at all.I use chemical ferts and haven't run into issues from them. As long as the plants are getting everything they need they really don't care what the source is IME.
Yeah in a sense it is about the plant but you can get the same results with pure salts. So for me the whole living organic thing stems from working with soil as a hobby specifically. We are in a near self-sustaining situation already so the ROLS thing makes most sense for us. Least input, max sustainability.
But far as the plant itself goes, long as you know what it needs, it doesn't care too much about the source, with exception of nitrogen burn which is a tad easier to do with salts...
