I love organics because of the taste of herb produced! Organic tastes incredible and more complex, but that said, you may have to learn a little more with organics that synthetics. If you want organics easy just start with a liquid organic(or nearly organic) fertilizer line. I really like Gerneral Organics(with a little Pure blend tea) and its widely available and easy to use. Also don't be scared to combine lines of different companies. Synthetics are cheap and easy but organic will make herb taste amazing. Organics could also be cheap if you source your or supplements and make soil mixes, but bottled organic are more expensive. I will never grow with synthetics again, but you must make your own choice. Just remember organic is all about the tastes...
sorry S O F I take back that remark bout ye sellin the nutes,, i'm off my rocker 2nite, i'm smoking this crap hash from south America I think,,fuck I can't wait till my girls come up,, I got 5 feminised critical mass 47 days in veg, my 1st, i'm trimming the shit outa them and they all look like f*****g proper bonsai trees,, I just cant leave em alone, how long are they gonna need 2 rest before I flower em,, I don't want 2 flower em in stress?

Hey again, I dont own a shop, Im just a normal Cannabis lover, but I am qualitly or quantity. Organics can yield large crops of great weed, just synthetics yield easier . I would say if you are using premixed liquid ferts then organics could be twice as costly. You could also go source out raw ingredients(ex. bone meal, fish meal, alfalfa, earthworm castings) and go all out organic. It will keep it very cheap,but the level of work goes up then.
Also about recycling soil, I do that as well. I just keep it organic and living, adding fungi and new life to the reused soil, just removing any big roots each time. My soil now is about 7 or 8 crops old, and plant seem to love it more now than the original soilless mix I started with!

Recycling soil is useful for people in apartments and areas were we don't want to be seen with grow supplies, it is still illegal where I am anyway.

so whats ur honest opinion?????whats 4 u ??

Well growing indoors chemicals just make the most sense to me. Less to deal with, less mess. I find that quality is great as long as they aren't overused. And like you point out can be very cost effective.

I agree but if I thought for a little more expense, say twice the cost that my smoke was goin to be twice as nice ,i'd go that way........

Pro mix bx is a soilless mix available just about anywhere.

Yes FN are chem nutes.

I was posting a simple, fairly fool proof method for a new grower.

True organics isn't that simple..

IMO, organic grown herb is not twice as good as chem grown.
everyones entitled to an opinion H.Y.F., I have my own opinions, what i'm here looking for is someone to tell me why I shouldn't go organic + stay with chems, theres a huge difference in the amount o people that prefer one over the other..

Hold Your Fire ,I can't give out any more rep today, but you should get it! hahaha... tomorrow. You are right though organics will never be twice as good! Chem will have a stone or high just as good or better than organic. I think organics taste is better but not by that much. Its the more subtle tastes that come through in organic smoke. Chem can taste great its just less layered/complex than organic. Don't expect night and day from organic to chem, but you can taste the difference.
