As usual, I agree with what most/all of what OhSo said. This pretty much backs up what he says but in a slightly different light.

First, I'm goin' to preface by saying that in college we (the bio dept, and the plant ppl in particular) grew a lot of nice plants of many different species using the chemical ferts.

That being said, all of us had to learn that it's 1. easy to over-fert with the chem ferts. Many plants got wrecked when this happened. Kids shoulda went by the procedure more carefully, or started with a lesser dose. 2. When it comes to something you're eating (smoking), there's a different level of over-fert that affects taste. It was a shame when one kid grew a banana tree w/ too high of a metal content.

IMO, I hated the pain in the ass pH issues that I always ran into with chemical soup growing.

It's way easier to wreck a plant using chemical soup as its food. Even if one is skilled in the ways of chemical soup growing, its really easy to have salt built up in your growing medium. Ever flush a chem plant and still get a nasty taste? Yeah, well when you do you'll be pissed enough to go buy good food for your plants...you know, stuff that isn't some green/blue magic powder or liquid.

I got fuckin' sick of dumping the salty peat, before I got smart and learned how to treat that salty shit. Now I do organic "soil" recycling and not only does it save money, but it saves me aggravation.

thats why there is natural strroids in food like seaweed..and gang of protiens

Plants cannot tell the difference. It's all NPK to them. It may be handled differently by the plant because of concentration, but that's it. Follow the directions for either and you will get about the same result.

That is more or less what I figured.

I just wonder how much organic vs. inorganic affects the taste and potency. Maybe I'll try a side by side comparison grow of a couple clones and test it out sometime...

organic you get a more natural earthy taste the way i like my herb /////inorganic it will still be a high grade smoke but just doesnt have that taste like it grew by itself somwhere u know wat i mean but thats why we flush our plants before harvest.....

Just wanted to bump this thread a little...

I've been using Blue Mountain Organics' fertilizers for the past couple months and am VERY pleased thus far.

Considering that most everything you eat comes from chemical fertilizers.... the "taste" issue is a myth.

Organics are weaker and slower. That's why farmers prefer chemical fert's. You will have a good grow with both kinds of fert's if you do it correctly.

Just rememeber you can burn ur plants with organics... it just takes a long time to show up. Most ppl forget about the overload a month later and can't figure out what happened. Chem fert lets you know right away.
