At first glance, chemical nutrients seem like a wise alternative as they are very cost-effective. Organic's on the other hand proceed on the theory that plants should grow in a chemical free environment, just as they do in nature. Rather than me filling up this space with info for you to read, I am simply going to supply a few links for you to take the time to read...or not. Than I want to discuss the third option.
Are Cheap Chemical Fertilizers Really Cheap?

Would a 47 lb celery stalk interest you? (this is a short movie)

The third option, goes on the belief that feeding the roots is a loosing proposition. Feed the soil!

We have previously discussed the merits of adding molasses because it’s a great source of carbohydrates to stimulate the growth of beneficial microorganisms.

Making and feeding your plants a compost tea, seems to not only be the organic answer I am looking for, it seems to be the answer for increased plant growth, and to completely unlock the potentials of growing in soil.

Can you imagine a garden with 3 pound onions, carrots a foot long, 40 lb. cabbages, peas that look like marbles? Given an optimized soil environment, your fruits and vegetables can be simply amazing! Better tasting, bigger, healthier and more nutritious. John's many years of testing and scientific research can be your reward. His passion for growing has been brought to you in this all-natural product.

I now know how I want to grow next time!
Peace

Thank you man, this helped this thread alot and we can all thank John

Has he grown weed with it? he lives in alaska and there allowed to grow 24 plants as personal property. 25 plants and the cops with give you a fine and jail time. but im buying some of his "special" ingredients

Ok geez, I misunderstood. I'm actually having a rough day today, so I am sure I just misinterpeted you. Again, I apologize.

It does look interesting, but before I jump into the deep end, I am checking them out, when I find out a positive, or negative report on them, I'll post it.
Peace

Grown indoor or out? and where do you live? Alaska has good conditions for that because of the light periods. But i know you can get results similar to that i personaly want to see weed grown in this, will it be a 20 foot tree? With 20ft Cola's shooting up! damn i want to see that.

videoman40 · #16 03-21-2007, 08:16 PM

He grows outdoors. As I read his website, there is a statement, rather the question is raised, are his veggies a result of the Alaskan soil or his tea? I hate to say the answer sucks...It goes on to say they arent sure, but you can buy both at his site! lol
I may call them tomorrow and have a talk.
Peace

I like to grow chemically inhanced products. I like chemicals better then poop even if its bad for me at least its not poop.I hate poop

TillthedayiDIE420 · #19 03-21-2007, 09:55 PM

It does not smell like poop and its healthy for you dude. you can use just the tea which is not "poop" with a mix of the soil... i dont use manure, i use worm castings, soil, perlite, sand, premix. im going to try this stuff out and think about changing.

FilthyFletch · #20 03-21-2007, 11:20 PM

worm casting = worm poop which = poop
