A note on organics.

They need to be broken down to the base elements. So IMO in the end you end up with a potentially toxic plant ( some types of organic growing). The stuff made in the lab is way way better. In many ways. I can only say that I never heard of a death from consuming something grown with chemical ferts, I cant say the same about organics. I admit it is a lottery but it still exists. There have been deaths from consuming toxins from using manure/organics (E. coli).

I can grow either way, but prefer the chemicals. They are super stable and I dont have to change out my solutions to manage them. I simply monitor EC and adjust. With organics you can basiclly slam it full and not worry about burns. The down is lockout due to crazy PH commonly.

If you really want to have fun and make your fertilizers for hydroponic solutions, I suggest reading up on hydroponic sweet peppers. They use alot of what cannabis does in the same fashion. For nickles on the dollar you can have the same thing anyone sells. The 7 basic elements remain consistent. As far as the more expensive bottles you will encounter- that is all about bacteria and enzyme culture. Thats what you are paying for. If you look at a root product like say ZHO by Botanicare vs voodoo juice from Advance Nutrients-both root stuffs....Big difference in counts. Big difference in price. Same with products like whateveryouwannacallit -zyme- If its a good product you wont have build up or green algae sucking up wastes or dirty trays as the enzymes clean the trash. and again you get what you pay for.

If you are a new grower I wouldn't worry about all the bells and whistles. You most likely wont get your monies worth and honestly..its a weed....dont overthink it...


OK im going to look at your pics now.
Bloomin Idiot Reviewed by Bloomin Idiot on . General Organics vs General Hydroponics General Organics GO Box on the left, General Hydroponics Flora (grow/bloom/micro) series on the right. At 4 wk growth 1 wk flower, Flora is taller by 7 inches. The root system for the Flora series was more developed than in the organic system. What I'm really interested in is blind testing the final product. I want to know myself if the difference is apparent from the buds. The chemical based line has the edge on growth, but will the organic taste better? Rating: 5
