Organic Vs. Chemical Nutes/Additives Side By Side (Roots Organics vs GH FloraDuo)

Thanks guys, I'm really excited to see the outcome as well. Plus, like I mentioned before, this will only help me become a better gardner in the end. Which is all I strive for, and to give back to the community here. I'd been on here for a few years but switched up my username this summer.
That's fair enough, I meant no disrespect. But if its a battle vs bottled organic nutrients and bottled chem nutrients, properly applied chem nutrient will win out. On the other hand if it were TLO vs chem nutrients TLO can match or beat the best chem grow. Controversial I know but its the truth according to c21 lol. A couple thoughts about your biological amendments, you don't need them... Oh wait that was one thought. In TLO all the things you mentioned should be provided by compost or vermicompost. Build your soil, don't deplete your wallet. Tangent over.

No disrespect taken at all, like I said previously, I really appreciate constructive criticism, and have been asking for comments/tips. Can't wait to try a TLO run later this year.

Were you able to tell the difference in the growing phase of the side by side? If so what did you notice?

Props to you DGSIX! Your plants look healthy so far, regardless of the nutrient regimen. Looking forward to watching the progression, but even moreso, hearing your opinion on difference in smoke.

I feel like the Organic side grew faster and was a little heartier at first, but this last few days the FloraDuo has been kicking ass. Hearty, happy plants all around with nice node spacing.

This is looking really nice. I'm very interested in the results. Thank you for sharing with us!

Hahahahahaha. That's awesome. Just seeing if they're worth the bottle they're in and if not, showing the community on here why or why not from my perspective.

I'm glad you're using organic nutes in a bottle, I have been interested in them for a little while now.
Thank you for sharing and showing.
Thank you for sharing and showing.
I to would have to agree with this post as well. I'm personally a Botanicare Whore. From what I understand it is all organic except Cal-Mag but then again if you spend the 10,000 you can damn near get anything listed as organic so go figure.
I will say tho as far as using bottle nutes saying they are Organic my gallery is full of results and I have used the same formula since the day is was passed onto me by Texas Kid many years ago.
For those of you who think you could do any better on this test I say put up or shut up and please let the OP do his test in peace.
Opening discussions are always welcome but flaming and disrespect never will be.
Thank You

So far I see very little difference in growth rates, hardiness, nodal space, etc. The plants are looking happy and healthy. Kyle Kushman stem cracks all around.
You be the judge so far I guess. It's really going to come down the the last few weeks of flower and the smoke report. I'll just keep taking notes and making posts.
So long for now!

I think to be fair you should try organic home made soil mix vs. Deep water culture hydroponics with chems. Then flush both for 10 days. you have to change the hydro water everyday though and range the ph from 5.7- 6.2.
That is the best way to compare chems to organic because in soil you will never flush out all the chems, where as in hydro you can flush them out much better with things like clearex.

Hey HashZeppelin, I appreciate the suggestion, but I ask, Have you ever used chem's in soil/coco? Not trying to sound arrogant at all, just totally curious. I sampled some grown the same way with the same floraduo schedule and flushed for 2 weeks w/ clearex and it was candy. I'm following a friends tried and true method, and have yet to see anything but happy plants.
Also, to suggest I go out and purchase or build a dwc system and use it in the room I DO NOT have for said system with the money I DO NOT have to do so just to share some pictures and info with the forum is not constructive criticism nor does it really bennefit anyone in here reading this... Though like I said, I appreciate the suggestion.
I'm just trying to give back to a community I appreciate and/or show people who are honestly curious about the products and or situation I am growing in what can become of it. This experiment has also been approved by the side by side mod.
To be fair, after I finish this crop I'm going to either try a TLO soil run or a Veganic soil run,and have been also looking into ebb and flow systems for my tents, so I'm not reluctant to try new things, just working with what I have for the time being.
Grow big,

Cool i will tag along with ride
Many that start to grow and want an biological fertilizer, start with some kind off Omri certified product and will propery move on to other nutrient adventures and maby making his own fertiliser, soil mix, growing is a learning curve with many roads.
