you do? or you don't?
It's not a religion, either you want to use chems or you don't, nobody is going to "convince" you
I like running organic super soil as I don't like mixing the different bottles. Too messy for me - I amend my soil once a year outside & just let it cook. Aside from possible top dressing (if I feel like it) all I need to do is water.
KISS.

Super soil being all nutes in the soil ? I have a buddy who swears by it. Cheep also ?I like running organic super soil as I don't like mixing the different bottles.

This is the basic recipe I use & have never been disappointed.

Cheaper? IDK about that, but then again the nearest gardening center is around 400 miles from me so nothing is cheap here!

organics - quality and yield is dependent on genetics. The plant can grow to its full potential. Pretty much read any of @stowandgrow 's comments on organics vs chems. He is more articulate with his words than most on here. He explains it pretty well.
I don't have to look very far for the "fire" Lol.
Most of the villages I've been to were so soaked with home brew booze and DV the majority of the people didn't bother with weed.
Sad, really.
Just noticed your join date - I was just leaving to go Moose hunting that day last year.
Good times & welcome to RIU.

oh the good bud ain't hard to find but in a remote village it is ha. Where I live I can find some killer in matter of minutes .
It's kind of a culture shock when you go out to a village , just a different way of life. Some places get pretty bad though...
Thank you for the welcome! I actually had an account here awhile ago. (Beblunted) but I lost my password and email account. Kinda shitty haJust noticed your join date - I was just leaving to go Moose hunting that day last year.
Good times & welcome to RIU.
And as an ak'n body I feel bad to say never gone out for moose, or even a hunt. I plan on going next season though

Super Tea and Budswell are two of the best organic nutrients out their. You know you can use both organic and non-organic together example: Advanced Nutrients 3 part - use as directed but finish off with budswell in late flower - also use super tea once a week in veg stage. Many use organic's for better taste rather than bigger yields

My experience with clones I took from a real nice hydro grown, was more weight and less time in hydro. I thoroughly enjoyed the hydro however I did find myself wishing the taste was more pronounced. The grew the clones I grew straight organic. The clones grew out to produce some very delicious smoke, and I actually perceive the effect to be stronger. YMMV.

My current grow style is primarily organic. I don't bother much with most folks ideas on organics, I get frustrated with the near religious levels of faith proselytizing some folks promoting organics do. It fucking hurts my brain sometimes as I try to comb fact from fantasy. My advice to any grower is to find a grow style you enjoy that helps you meet your goals, and filter out any dogma others might be trying to feed you. New growers, find an experienced guy to emulate. Eventually you'll gain the experience necessary to do things your way, and once you start feeling the confidence to try something new that you want to try go for it. This pretty much applies to any grow style. I personally do organics while trying to reduce my carbon load on the environment. I try to get my materials local, I look for waste byproducts that will benefit my grow, while helping to reduce carbon load. I have an earthworm farm that I recycle much of my household wastes, that then become primary nutrient sources for my garden. I used to do super soil. I thought really hard about it, and though I think its beneficial, I also kind of think it's a waste. I recycle my soil, roots left in to decompose, and I ammend with a number of things, and let my recycled soil cook awhile. I've been liking the idea of planting some legume green manure over my recycled soil for nitrogen fixation, I think I'll be giving that a go soon, and I think I may use a small clover species for a living mulch during grows in the future. I bubble up compost tea with my earth worm compost, and feed about every couple of weeks, and I am really looking into making fermented plant fertilizers using local, natural plant materials. So for me I am really enjoying the process of growing organically, I'm trying to reduce my environmental impact by reutilizing wastes, and I spend very, very, little in grow materials overall. My personal opinion is that you should match your grow style to what you enjoy, what works for you financially, and what helps you meet your goals. I used to like to really apply technique during grow, such as training, building structure, so on. Now I grow more as a facilitator, and take a less active role, observing, smelling, enjoying, while the real work is done by the plants and microbes. So this is what works for me, and I think is working quite well at that.
