This seems to be the consensus, soil tastes better, especially if all organic, hydro yields better, ut one guy good at hydro could easily produce the same quality taste as ur average soul guy. U gotta go abt beyond to have the best tastse from soil.
People running organic SIPs are starting to claim it's the holy grail of hydro + organics. I'm going to try it out myself.

Here's some organic stuff from my last harvest.

Hollyweed or Anglica?? Only have enought funds for one or the other, unless anyone knows where one can get kalifornia or secret chief?? And organic all the way if you think ahead and save compost for like a year or two or more and let it stew the compost is pretty deadly fertilizer. Add it to soil and add a touch of store bought fert, tasty with a decent yield even with autos
GLG... :)

I stopped smoking for a couple years becouse of headaches at night. It was all hydro back then. I've switched to 100% organic outdoors and 'organic' in a bottle inside and haven't had the headache issues ever since.

Sorry of topic. On bodhi topic my super snow lotus are doing good. They should be showing their sex soon. Most are around 7-9 nodes. I'm sure if I check today I'll know the sex of most.20160723_130508.jpg

I have started using this stuff indoors as well and it works great! You can have a wonderful crop with just fox farms soil for veg and this for bloom. Excellent results.

I've been running organic-as-I-can SIPs for a few years. It's a lot better than what I used to grow, but it probably would be even if I'd stayed synthetic, I hope I've gotten better at it, lol!

Folks I grow for noticed a difference right off, and would never let me go back... plus "organic" makes us all feel so warm and fuzzy!

I tried growing the Sunshine Daydream by bodhi seeds from @Midweek Song and none of the seeds popped besides one. It looked very skimpy and died shortly after 3-4 days.

Has anyone else ever had a problem with this? My temps/humidity were perfect throughout. I'm now left with some northern lights that i had left over. But i'm very upset that I never had a chance to grow them out, and savour at-least 1 mother for personal use.

I'm not sure how a refund policy would work - For a new batch. I've never had this problem before. Either the seeds are extremely delicate and need the most perfect conditions throughout - Or they were just old, and were not usable. Still very annoyed either way :cuss:

Great results can be had in hydro, using organics nutes like Botanicare pure blend pro, or their Kind line. Better results if your hydro setup is aero/nft as opposed to ebb and flow, dwc, or anything else with a medium...won't go back to soil mainly because I'm not a fan of paying for infestations.

I've never grown out a straight Wookie, just a test run of SSDDxWookie. Are the Wookie leaners the tighter ones?

By the way, @JDGreen I asked Mrs B for a pack of SSDDxW's, which she said she'd send, but she said there won't be anymore because they lost the mom! It's too bad, it is some great smoke.
Sucks to hear about the SSDD mom! Makes me kind of depressed, I love that strain.

My only experience with Wookie is the Pinesoul X Wookie I have going now. With these I have three tall Pinesoul looking phenos, one short greasy pheno which is the loudest plant I have by far and reeks of this amazing lavender funk and another similar to the Pinesoul phenos but much shorter. I have two additional phenos in veg and one of them reeks of lavender also. Both of the lavender smelling phenos also have darker green leaves, compared to the other phenos.

This is going to be another awesome cross. I have grown out about 15 different Bodhi crosses and I can tell you now (Day 39) this is a big time winner and I'll try and snap some pics tonight.
Are you getting any lavender out of any of your phenos?



With regards to the soil talk, I mix my own using my homemade compost, pumice and a little peat or leaf mold. I tried out Fox Farms, Roots Organics and a few others years ago but always had bugs and deficiencies. I don't get deficiencies at all or worry about bugs to much since using homemade compost. Super easy and a hell of a lot of fun making it. The grow rate in organics is much faster when using large pots.

For example, the clone in the back right is a Dank Sinatra in a 25 gallon pot, the three on the left are also DS clones in one gallon pots. I transplanted two more DS clones earlier today out of one gallon pots and decided to hold off on transplanting these other three because the roots hadn't even filled the pots yet. The difference in growth rates is quite remarkable. Another advantage of large pots is no-till farming, using the same soil grow after grow, often for years. There is nothing like a good compost pile IMO.

I'm of the opinion that great weed can be grown with every type of grow style. I've pretty much tried them all over the years and was able to dial them all in. Where organics excels is exactly in what you just mentioned. If you use a quality source of compost/vermicpmpost the plants SAR is heightened to the point that pests and disease are a non issue. You can't replicate the symbiosis between a plant and the microorganisms in an organic soil with synthetic nutrients.

Yield is better with hydro, and the quality of the smoke can be on par in the hands of an experienced grower...but plant health will be consistently better in a proper organic soil. I'm convinced of that.
