positives and negatives of organic groing

just wondering? what the pros and cons of growing organic vs synthetic based products

**SkunkBudda403** · 14-12-15, 10:55 PM

Pro:
-Better for the environment
-Healthier for human consumption (IMO) others may say different but you are what you consume.
-better tasting end product (IMO)

Organic growing gives a much better quality product, a smoother smoke (I don't cough when smoking pure any more) MUCH better taste/smells IMO

The only downside for me, is the extra effort, but that's because of my choice of nutrients (powders that mix into the soil, takes a while to mix up 120L of compost)

Organic = smaller bubs, yields but better tasting

Chemical -larger buds and yields and good tasting but not as good as organic

Use both when cultivating (organic tea's help the absorption of nutrients)

Do you mean organically-certified nutrients, like Plant Magic Old Timers, or do you mean mix-your-own soil and compost?

At some point I'd like to do a comparision grow with Plant Magic Old Timers on two plants, and Plant Magic Soil on another two. I think yield and taste would be interesting.

as in organic nutes bro

Fair enough.

I'm not even sure it has been proven organic nutrient yields are lower than chemical (soil) yields. Especially Plant Magic Old Timers which has a lot of history and development behind it, as well as a lot of good grows.

As I say I'm currently tempted to do a side-by-side grow next year. Either Old Timers vs Plant Magic soil, or perhaps vs Fox Farms.

Personal consumption, organic all the way!

As for positives and negatives, I'm sure there are thousands, but for me it's just the fact knowing it's been grown without chemicals that could harm you in the long run!
The question your asking is very in depth and I'm sure growers have debated it for years in horticulture!

Most def better taste with organic, just like for the veggy

But you can mix.
Using soil and organic nutrient base.

But add few PK shoot during bloom won't change much (IMO)

So like buddha said, in between is the great balance for everything

Get the taste and yeld, flush for at least 2 weeks in the end of flowering.
