Why do YOU grow organic?

thank you
Because it's based on science and not stoner horsesh*t and bogus analysis.
"Yep - this strain is a magnesium hog! Best to add magnesium to preclude problems! The Duh Dude at the grow store says that he sells this product to all the big-time growers!!!"
Translation: "I found some f*cking idiots who are helping me push up my commissions for selling this crap! Kewl, eh?"
Stuff like that.

that product sounds great, if it makes my buds super frosty and smell like berries and weigh more and finish quicker ....
Organics will put the charlatans out of business eventually. Char, compost, castings, the 3 c's. Add minerals and microbes - rock dust and teas, and it's growin time, and it's free.
Why will farmers keep paying these companies when they see their neighbour doing it without ferts. Spread the good word.
I wonder when I'ma get in trouble for mentioning you can grow for free. There's a few of us preachin it now, organics is free!
DISCLAIMER: some thinking reading planning and assembly required.

Way back around 1983 the first 'grow stores' opened in the PNW - 2 were in Seattle and there were 3 in Portland.
One of the manufacturers (snerk) of ballasts and the parabolic hoods was Light Manufacturing in NE Portland. They were the ones who had the first plug-n-play hydroponic system called 'The Living System' (snerk redux) which they still sell today - well as of yesterday.
About 15 years or so back they opened their own grow store called Everybody's Garden Center and they did well for several years. Then something happened in the manufacturing side of things a couple of years back - remember the deal with a specific ballast that was causing bulbs to explode? Guess who made them?
Seems that in an effort to cut costs they switched suppliers on one of the components - the transformer I believe but I could be wrong. The distributors that moved these across the country (National Garden Wholesale, Sunlight Mfg, et al) had to take them back from their customers and issue credits for the ballasts and maybe even the customers who had bulbs explode.
The chickens came home to roost yesterday - everything in the store is 50% off as they liquidate their inventory. They filed for bankruptcy.
I'm all chocked up and stuff.
Or not.

LOL......A feller could potentially be smart enough to wire and assemble their own ballasts and make their own hoods. I do. You can source ballasts and components locally,learn to wire them up,and grow some tomato's. My last 1000 watt MH was put together using brand new components for around $45.00

Okay..I'll play. Organic recycled soil...ph meter collecting dust somewhere. This soil CRAWLS with critters. I have no mites,root aphids,gnats,thrips,etc. If anyone thinks those are yellow..that's the HPS. I'll get one with just the MH if need be. Just saying.

Do you ever have to intervene to keep the pests away? Very impressive room captain cheez.
Yes....Organic IPM. It's a job like any other really. But after incorporating the methods I've learned here and the soil amendments it seems like less and less overall after you get it down. This cycle I won't be doing a thing to manage pests...they aren't there. AND that's not to say they won't show up somehow.

I can be proud of it, and its not asain beasters. Would rather my friends and family have something decent to smoke that's not commercialized crap. I don't even think they flush that stuff. I know a beasters grower who pumps food and overdrive into them right up to the last day. He just cares about money cause he has 11 or 13 mouths to feed. I guarantee he never smokes it.
For me it's all about quality and giving the plants some TLC not greed.

I salute you Captain! you did say you'd play, well it don't look like play to me...thats some serious weedege. can i get a couple tickets to the cheap seats? maybe something with some southern exposure?
Thanks man. I've got my hands full with outdoor ATM and don't have the time to do a thread on my current grow. I'm a bizzy mofo! Just trying to grow some quality medicine and function with Babylon breathing down my neck.

Producing smooth smoke with conventional growing hasn't been a problem, but what's lacking is the exquisite taste. That's why I'm going back to Organic growing. (going back, because it's where I started years ago, although very half-assed)
