Organic vs. Synthetic Nutrients

How about using bottled organic fertilizers like pura vida, earth juice, general organics, iguana juice in say an active nft, drip, dwc or aero system? Yeah? No? Would it pass for you best taste, clean, not make u sick cannabis smokers???? If not then what is the "magic" that happens in an organic heavy compost based super soil that makes that smoke so superior? No one has been able to answer me that in 20 years.

What "magic"? it's botany and photosynthesis, there is no magic.
humus, fulvic and humic acids, CEC rate, all that is where the organic "magic" happens.
Nothing spectacular man.
who have you been asking for 20 yrs?
It's simple it's the way plants have been growing for millions of yrs.
I replicate mother nature as close as possible, I use a wormbin and compost pile for damn near most of my garbage, I have solar panels for my electricity, I don't use dehumidifiers, co2 enrichment, or anything like that.
The "carbon footprint" argument is humorous.
Much, much, MUCH bigger things that will fuck the world up, before us cannabis growers.
what I am saying is that if you are intelligent about it, the impact from an organic grow is less than a hydro grow.
I am not going to argue about this. Don't really see how it's arguable.

Why is organically grown marijuana superior to marijuana grown with mineral fertilizers?

I did a blind test with 4 of my patients. Ahwile ago. Experienced smokers. My uncles were growers themselves. All organic. Mostly outdoor but some indoor. Mom, dad, and 2 uncles. A couple years ago. 5 different varieties ranging from very satty doms to indica doms. They were all over the map with what they thought was organic and not. Results were inconclusive. The only one grown in a Clackamas Coot variation super soil was the ghost train. Only mom was close. They all claimed most of the strains were organic. They were all grown in the same (except ghost train haze )room with Ionic grow and bloom nutrients in coir with ec maxing out at 1.5. No flush. Just tapered down to reuse the coir the last 5 days. I dry trimmed them and cured them for 6 weeks. To the best of my ability

Yeah except for my mom. She got that one rite. But.all the others werent and their choices on what was and wasnt was all over the place. I trimmed dried and cured it to really high standards. But for the most part no one got it. Mom was the only one that called out the ghost train. Not a real test but it said something to me. I would like to try it again someday.

Well you have all convinced me. I will drag in my wheel barrel full of super soil compost and bust out my raised beds again. And go back to organic soil in under my gavitas, mitsu split and santefe dehuey. Oh and my 1200 ppm co2 injected sealed room. So i can help out the planet, smoke "cleaner" better tasting buds so i wont get "sick". Thats how you grow indoors huh? Fuk it, Iam going back to the ways i did it years ago to get the best possible. Lol. You guys were rite. Damn. I want steak not a hamburger.
