it's all the same to the plant
I don’t agree with this but also don’t have the science to argue why lol.
I view it similar to multivitamins and nutrition shakes. Yes I can get my daily requirements from multivitamins and nutrition shakes but that doesn’t mean it’s the healthiest or most beneficial way to get them. I can survive on a feeding tube, but I don’t want to survive, I want to thrive.
You (the plant) miss out on a lot of the positive interactions and benefits of obtaining your requirements through a balanced diet. I think it’s these molecular level interactions that make organically grown products have fuller and more vibrant profiles.
Then again I could be full of guano and am just having a placebo effect to justify my expenses
