There is where we get into personal opinions. The hydro guys will all tell you that their synthetic methods are better. Better can be defined as quantity, quality and even ease of use. Everyone will weigh in on these things differently. Myself, I prefer quality over quantity and easy over difficult.oh i see, is organic fertilizer better? i'd rather use it since i don't need to adjust PH rn i'm using canna vega
I prefer not to feed from a bottle. There is nothing wrong with feeding from a bottle, and if you want to pay more, you can get even organic nutrients from a bottle. Most organic growers however only give water and maybe a few supplemental fertilizers to their plants... all of the needed raw minerals are pre built into the soil.
So, organic fertilizer... the word fertilizer implies that it is an additive.. something extra to give an already thriving plant. This in my mind is clearly separate from the word nutrient, which like someone hooked to an IV feeding system, implies supplying the nutrients necessary for life that are not being supplied by any other means.
For the organic folks, myself and Nunya and all the others, we think that allowing the plants to get the nutrients needed from a living circle of life that has living microbes in the soil feeding the plants while all we supply is water and a few extra fertilizers, that this is a superior way to grow pot, so, yes, it is better. We feel that our end product tastes better and is stronger than synthetically grown pot. Can we prove it? Not in words... it is a subjective thing that you just have to try for yourself. I will say that most folks that try an organic method, whether it is from a bottle or one of the living soil models, never go back to artificial methods again.
