hey saw leaf, Organic is for sure the best way to grow, i remember when i first started growing, I pounded the ferts to my babies, never burned them, they grew well, and i didnt flush them, it was great stuff, cept the real bad cough and taste. last year was the first year i used worm castings and i was amazed with the results, I will never use chemicles again... cept for slugs( rotten little bastards)
