Organic Hydro? Does it exsist?

[GrowerXLT]

Is it possible for some one to grow organic using a hydroponic system (no soil)?

Thanks,

organic is growing in soil...so thus no

Au contraire, mon frere!

You can in fact grow organically in hydro.
You will be paying a bit more for your nutes though!

You can grow in soil and not be organic. People do it all the time. Anything you buy at the market in the produce department that is not organic, falls into this catagory.

i grow hydrorganics..... i pay about $20 (32oz) for my nutes bio grow/bloom-line (switched over recently from earthjuice which was cheaper but i couldnt stand the smell anymore... $13/$14 a bottle). i grow in rockwool with coco fiber around it to fit in the pot and protect the rockwool from recieving sunlight and getting algae.... and i handwater by mixing 1 gallon at a time... great way to save nutes too.... you just have to give them attention every other day or put them in a small bin with a res to soak up some nutes....(sounds a little wasteful and time consuming more than saving to me tho)

Hydro nor soil can be considered "organic grows" unless they consist of nutes that are in an organic chemical structure. The definition of organic growing implies that the plant must obtain the nutrients it needs from a source in which it is naturally available. So, a soil that is a benign medium and has nutes given to it that are inorganic in structure then the grow in not considered organic. Same applies with hydro.

As I remember the PH balance of the hydro organics I tried varied greatly from one day to the next and needed much testing. Not so much with chem ferts.

The smell is also not to be underestimated as mentioned above.

No really the smell is a MAJOR drawback. Of course if you work at a waste water treatment plant you will be ok with it.

I am currently experimenting with hydro-organics. I just switched over to the Pure Blend Original with some Hydroguard and Cal-Mag from the FloraNova line with Floralicious Plus and Canna PK-13/14. I will be getting some Liquid Karma and some Sweet soon. I did two succesful grows with the FloraNova and had great results, but it wasn't good enough. The veteran smokers at one of the cannabis clubs I go to here in the Bay Area say that hydroponics is shit and organic is the only way to go. I was already used to the concept of hydroponics so I did not want to switch to soil, but I had to change what my plants were fed. That may be the main reason why I am not fully satisfied with my results so far. Due to countless hours of research on many different websites, most coming from the late great Overgrow, I concluded that hydroponics is the best way to grow and organic nutes are the best stuff to feed marijuana, so both of them combined should give me the results I am searching for. I picked up a G-13 plant today from a cannabis club in San Francisco and I will try this hyrdo-organic thing out on it after I get some clones out of it.

I am a believer of organic nutrienents. What I do is mix Pure Blend Original with some Cal-Mag, Liquid Karma, Floralicious Plus, and Hydroguard. I just recently got my Metanaturals 16-0-0 100% Organic Nitrogen in the mail and I plan on trying it out soon. The quality of bud that was produced using FloraNova wasn't the "High Times" quality bud that I wanted and I have been hearing about this organic stuff from weed veterans, so I had to take it into consideration. Check out the photos and tell me what you think?

Organics are not defined by the delivery method.

Organics are defined by the source used to provide the required nutrients.

YES.......you can grow organic hydroponics.
