Ok. It's not really that you are wrong, but it does depend on what you are trying to do, what you know how to do, (and why) and what is consistently available.

Ok...below are my thoughts on this, but that does not mean I'm right. If anyone has any differing or similar thoughts, I'd love to hear 'em:

With the standard additives you mentioned, plus and especially bone meal, blood meal, greensand...even though they are organic, they act exactly the same way as a time-release mix. (like Miracle Grow) Releasing small ammounts of nutrients (which can affect soil ph) into the soil over an extended period of time. Often, through to harvest. I'm beginning to think this is where a lot of the plant problems my stem from, peripherally. It's not hard to imagine spazmotic releasing of nutes from organic sources, changing or fluctuating ph, potential late-flowering stretching.
IDK. Maybe I think too much. :jointsmile:

Regardless, learning how to adapt to those soil additives is thusly no different than a MG user learning to adapt to a chemical slow release fertilizer. (except the MG nutes dissolve after a month or two)

Anyway...he could always list what's available locally, and let us choose, lol.
