Well if you don't know Marijuana cannot be considered "Organic" in the US because it is not recognized by the FEDS.
So I am hip to the "it's not really organic" line.
Lets put that BS aside and continue shall we?
I have grown in Soil and Hydro for decades. So I have some real life opinions.
I primarily focus on Indoor. And I am a Hydro grower when I am inside. As such I am biased.
Obviously it will get very opinionated in here.
Please remember nobody is "WRONG". We all want to be right but lets keep the name calling to a minimum.
I am looking for personal experiences and evidence.
So somebody saying how much better Organic is who has never grown Inorganically is not helpful.
And so we don't have to type the words over and over lets use
"O" for Organic
"IO" for inorganic
Hopefully this can stay evidence based.
Here is my evidence to start this off.
"The fundamental process of nutrient absorption by plants is well established. Irrespective of whether nutrients originate from an organic or inorganic sources, plants are only capable of absorbing nutrients in certain forms. For example, nitrogen is only absorbed as nitrate (NO3-) ions or ammonium (NH4+) ions and potassium only as K+ ions. Thus, plants cannot distinguish between nutrients derived from organic and inorganic fertilizer sources"

I have a strong chemistry background. And I always believed the above statement.
