HAHAHA... nah... put simply, soil growing is growing in soil... organics is growing with organic ferts n stuff..Quote:
organic is growing in soil...so thus no
I have used pure blend pro and still use at times...for moms in soil basically, and veggies. There are a few companies with organic pre-mixes out there. I like the botanicare line.
How about a bubbler that bubbled Nitrogen, Oxygen, Potassium and Phosphorus in the gas form... Would that be organic?
I did a wick hydro plant once. With a wick and an air stone it is easy to use organic fertilizers. My medium was kitty litter.
Wick is easy to flush. But it is not that high class hydro, just a wick, a pot, kitty litter, an air stone and a pump.
organic is +++++++++++ in my book. love botanicare
I currently grow organic hydroponics with a brand called Sugar Peak. It has increased amounts of sugar for plants that uptake a lot of natural sugars in nature. It is sold locally through my hydroponic store and is 100% organic. It is a bit expensive at $30 / gal The guy at the store told us that by using this nutrients instead of something like earth juice, the clean up during a nutrient change is way less of a hassle. There is no major build up on the sides of the nute tanks and no rotten smell unless you push it all the way to the two week mark, and even then its not that bad. Whoever said that it smells like a sewage treatment plant must be using some very strange nutrients. The guy at the store also said that because its organic, small brown merky stuff will collect at the bottom of the tanks but that is normal because it is organisms living within the tank and is very healthy for the solution and the plants. This is our second grow with this stuff and we may even use it again if this grow turns out fantastic like we think it will. Organic is the only way to go!
well if you want to get technical plants convert all elements to an inorganic state b4 they can process them . . doesn't mean they're not organic just . . just a funny fact . .
If something is organic, it remains organic.... just because the plant breaks down the ferts doesnt mean anything has changed, just how chemical ferts take longer to break down once the plant has processed them, organics take much less time to break down becuase of there natural state.
um I'm not sure what you're saying but a certain molecule, once formed, behaves the same regardless of its precursors.Quote:

my friend foxysox is running organic coco atm using the botanicare pure blend pro line with topmax, superthrive, mycostim, and serenade and neem as needed. Good times. Coco is technically a whole heck of a lot closer to hydro than it is to dirt btw.
