Potting soil mixes, and specifically HF, are organic. What part of the mix would not be organic? The bag?
Mad, the best thing for you to do is move along and stop addressing me.
You know when you are right and when you are wrong, aye?
Seems to me you have no clue.
Doing this before the internet huh? You know, I was probably doing this before you were shitting solid...does that give me any special knowledge?

I'll let Wiki do it. Apparently you can't just mix it up, throw it in a bag, and have soil. There is a time factor as well.

answer to question 1, is from soil 101. (drum roll) the answer is - the mineral component. potting mixes with no or little mineral component are simply referred to as rooting media because they are not soil. usually they are based on peat or some other relatively slow to rot organic substance that resists compaction yet holds water and air (two types of porosity).
many of us here make a difference between living soil with intact and functioning microbial hierarchies, a medium with a functioning nutrient loop, and a medium that is unable to support healthy plant life without feeding soluble fertilizers (assuming we mean land plants that fall in the same category as cannabis, as opposed to aquatic or riparian plants)
hmm, someone brings up the Internet, I politely mention I have actually been doing this longer than the Internet ( which is not that long), and now I'm discussing who's dad is older, or whatever? dude, my dad has been gardening since 1862. and I am the one explaining the new science that clashes with his ag degree. he can't argue with what he sees in the scope.
how long you have been doing this does not matter. if you are making a point you either can explain it or you can't. if you can, people learn. if you can't. they don't. also, try not to be a dick, that's my rule. you might know a lot about a lot, but it's still ok to keep learning, ok? lots of recent developments in this field, only a fool would miss out.
answer to demand that I leave my favorite forum, or keep a list of people I may address (keep reading, you will see it):

yeah... I was looking for one word. Lethologica got your tongue?
not only that, he got his ag degree before the internet!
is someone paying someone to provide me with material for my joshin'?

lethologica? that must be a big boy word for big boy's who like to play with dirt.
it's a word that means not being able to think of the word you are trying to think of. For the longest time, I couldn't remember this word when I needed it.
So I was lethologic about letholigica.
My personal favorite is "objurgate". I like the seemingly excessive consonant:vowel ratio.
if you don't feel like reading, here is a short video on media physical properties.

yeah, after a while growing becomes so easy, your soil almost does become more interesting than the plants (which take care of themselves well if you give them the tools).
Any of you soil scientists have anything to show us? I'd like to see some cannabis grown in superior medium.
How about you, mad? Got any shots to share with us? I am anxious to see your work. Perhaps I can be persuaded to start mixing my own components...wait, is that allowed? In any event, I want to see something....
