Hey I'm for dialogue.... and there are for sure ways to strip the chemicals out of human waste using other chemicals. I just personally don't want to.put that one my plants ;-) but then I also try to eat organic and I get shit for that too... but doesn't mean Imore hating on others :-)

Just my two cents I had the same strain I ran for a couple years in both DWC soil and coco and the the hydro looked the best it was light green and great resin production. They all taste about the same and potency was the same.

So depending on who you believe... either soil growers are vegan eco philosophers who commune with the great earth mother Gia and hydro growers are soulless technocrats who seek to fill the planet with pollution and radioactive death weed.... or soil growers are hopeless ludites who fear progress and hydro growers are the even handed voice of reason and efficiency in a world gone mad..... what the hell people?? Grow the way you want and stop shitting in each other's cheerios.

Does growing in organic soil and then adding bottled nutes to it get me in trouble with the organic gods?

I like my methods but I don't want to be struck down from above for them. :-)

Just so nobody thinks I'm biased or picking on anyone.. I've been a soil grower for a long time and am now doing my first hydro grow (going to go sterile) so I've now been on both sides of.the fence on this issue.

depending on the organic gods mood.. it's the middle of the week... and the organic gods typically get laid on the weekends, and work long hours on the weekdays, so if I were you, and depending on the content of the aforementioned bottles, i'd wait till the weekend to use them
may keep the lightning bolts to a minimum...
just lookin out for ya man

You can get hydro like growth from a proper soil, but honestly nothing can grow like a good RDWC/DWC setup. Even sip buckets. There's way more oxygen in a RDWC/DWC system and the nutrients are more readily available. Now for flavors i have no doubt soil will always be better than hydro if both are done properly.

i would ask you,, If a person puts air stones in thier SIP res,, then that is exaclty like DWC,, roots in a res with air stones,, Right ?
