Florida Growers Thread; Reloaded

Organic soil may have the most petulant, impatient, blinded, vindictive and judgemental subsects there are in the canna growing world. The further you go in those realms the worse the militant echochamber becomes. Now I'm not saying every organic grower is culpable. In fact quite the opposite some of the best, most kindhearted, most skilled growers I know or see come out of this camp as well.. it just gets me how lots of these people will bash science and methodology or data when it doesn't suit their viewpoint but otherwise when they need quantifiable sets of data to back their claims or refute others' then plant science is required... Can't count how many times I've seen the classic fallacy - "natives been growing without x or y for eons!!! Thank god for botanists and plant sciences (heavy Sarcasm)" then turn around and ask for academic links in another post.

^^my two cents on the whole organics forum matter. As you guys can plainly see, I don't care much for militant hippies..

Nice notes on the amendments/flavors DF!

Militant Hippies, lol....made me think of cartman taking them out in that south park episode.

Buckets looks stocked up on GS for awhile.

Trimming up some WFA currently but that shit is slow going.....scissors are glued together pretty quick like.

I 100% believe what is put in the soil has a direct impact on the flavor of the flowers. (wine and food grown in particular regions having special tastes is a perfect example of mineral content affecting flavors) I've tested this out with multiple strains in different mixes against a control.

All blood/bone/poultry based = more acidic flavor and notes

All guanos = more earthy, musty notes

All plant matter = grainy (smell oatmeal, rice, barley or corn), hay/grassy, wind blown notes (best I know how to put it)

It's actually why I use a 3 part approach when I amend my soils - something from all different aspects of the fertilizer spectrum. I found the combination of ingredients...the diversification of inputs...results in plants that are able to express themselves in a more true manner.
