anything and everything labeled as organic has to be suspect, particularly here in the third world where pirating is a way of life.

interesting to read that the Fox Farms recommended by Mandala who rails against guano. the idea that some organic material never goes away in soil doesn't make sense on the face of it. if it's organic, it's going to decompose. I believe that's in the definition of organic.

but I've also read posts from people who swear that the guano makes for bad taste and others who swear it's the exact opposite. but I've also read that high N levels toward the end of flowering is the responsible party.

no matter what is introduced to the soil, the plant breaks it down into the substances it requires and in forms changed from when it was added.

if the guano had a substantial influence on the taste of the final product, probably everybody would be finding new ways to flavor their crop. I haven't read of any and I don't believe it's possible. (I know, I know. there is a post running around about adding flavor to curing buds. I'm not sure that works, either.)

thanks to all for their input.
