A rep for an organic nutrient company recently told me that you can't get a pH perfect organic nutrient solution due to living organisms, is this true?

That's not organic ^^^^ reason you need to add in your nutrients is because ProMix is mainly CSPM with a very small amount of hummus and is meant and sold as a soil building INGREDIENT not as soil. Meaning you mix in hummus (ewc/compost) with ProMix and an aeration component in 1/3 proportions and then add in minerals (not fertilizer). That's the beginning of a living organic soil.
This is an organic gardening forum, 100% sure "chem food" is not organic. Sorry not trying to be a dick but saying "to each his own" in an organic forum is BS. You either grow organically or not, saying we can use chemicals is organic gardening is plain wrong. Listen I've been there that's one reason for objecting to what is being said here.
Hi bobrown..First of all I'm sorry for posting in the wrong section and that's all you really had to say..second you don't need to call bs on anything till you know all the facts. pretty weak on your part. You just full of yourself or what? You think old growers like myself or others don't know that any "chem food" is not considered organic?? seriously?? I'm a hard core vegetarian and have only bought and grown veggies organically for 25yrs..I really support the lifestyle..maybe like you say your not trying to act like a dick but you did a pretty good job at it.. So you listen!..I've also been there done that..I mixed my own "organic" soil years ago,and personally find no difference between that and what I'm doing today. Like i said I think some people really get carried away with things & so "each to their own".. Perhaps you could have just read in between the lines a bit within my post and mentioned that I was in the wrong forum instead of laying down YOUR BS. Know the facts first..anyways I wish you and all other organic growers the best.
I like to keep it very simple..clones & veg all get the same..17-15-17 & 1drop per gallon super thrive..buds get.12-34-12..no super thrive..all full strength food is mixed at 3/4 strength!..it's a pretty friendly chem food..I never flush my veg before turning them..I just start to give them bud food about a week before the 12/12..then I only feed them food for the first 3 weeks while they stretch and build foundation..that's right..my very potent buds only receive 4wks of total bud food.. 1 week of pre-bud food then only for the first 3 weeks of bud..after that it's just plain old tap water that I ph ..
No disrespect - this is what I'm calling BS in organic anything ^^^^
Sure, using Promix with nothing but chem ferts to feed the PLANT instead of the soil will work but it is not organic.
Reason we add all those extras is to start a living soil so we can grow organically by feeding the soil not the plant.
What in the world is "bud food"?
