Isnt GO chelated? similar to "chem" nutes? This is my reasoning for why it would work the same, Just wondering because I run Caps bennies with flora nutes, but it just seems I would get better cohesion with organic chelated nutes, guess is six in one hand half dozen in the other in this case..
Id say soil in general is the reason plants dont yield as much, aeration can influence transpiration and soil is rife with aeration issues, lest you amend it, still, coco is hands down killing every soil run I ever did.. what are your thoughts misterD? Im fully aware of how nutrients work, but GO isnt your typical organic nutrient, as It really doesnt require microbial like bat shit and blood meal would for example..
Yes GO has some humic acid in it, an organic chelate. GO has been mostly mineralized (digested by bacteria making it plant available prior to bottling), so yes it acts "similar" to a chem nute (instantly available). However unlike a chem nute you gain a slight buffer to over feeding because part of the nutes still need to be broken down within you media before the plant can use them. Just to be clear not all chem nutes are chelated (i.e. GH flora series). You probably know that, but others might not. You are right that running bennies with organic nutes is a bit more effective, but unless you are recycling your media the difference is negligible. I have read running chemical chelates will kill off most of your bennies however, so that's something to consider when choosing base nutes. As far as soil vs coco, it simply comes down to more air in the root zone causing faster, more robust growth. There is a reason aero produces better than any other method, at least in a perfect world.
