ALL companies care only about the bottom line, else they would cease to exist. no exceptions.
My successful company is not run that way at all. Maybe I'm the exception and since when did caring about what you consume make you a hippie? For thousands of years our food supply was "organic". I dont think it's too much to ask that our food supply stay pure. GMO crops have not solved the world hunger problem and they wont.

on topic. I've grown some Honkers with MG . Their label about 6 month feeding is not true. I was feeding in week 4 of vegg outdoors. about a month they needed N. It works and is cheap. Mg and scotts via Home Depot are trying to capture the MJ grower with more and more specific Mj products. Monasoto is no dummy.

I use mg organic soil amended with compost, perlite, and several other amendments. Works great.

A friend grower uses mg moisture control and a simple 10-10-10 fert when they start showing a deficiency and does great. I have tried to convert him to organic, but he's lazy. Lol.

As far as roundup ready crops... Yes you can spray the hell out of a mature rur plant and it have no effect. Seen it first hand many times.

Chem farming is only cheaper than organic because of government subsidies. And because it actually costs the farmer to even claim his crop is organic. It should be the other way around. Farmers should have to label crops that were grown with chemicals and or GMO. It's backward!
Chem farming only surpasses organic because it makes it easier for 1 man to do the work of many. Which again is all about the bottom line. While we have so many people jobless....


My 2¢…

And the "6 month feeding" is for slow growing plants. Mj is a fast growing annual. Its a fast growing little lady and requires a bigger meal, so the nutes are used up much faster. But the included nutes help to give you a head start.

It's the same circle jerk, chem ferts & lab supplements. Clorine, a chem, is added to our water. Our bodies is not chem based & therefore cannot breakdown the injested clorine in our bodies. It slowly builds up, like root lock. Caltrate is lab made, it is a poor quality of calcium and does not absorb well, causing weak bone structure. NPK is just 3 of many trace minerials & nutes needed by plant life. MG does appear to work wonerful, & shooting Meth certainly feels wonderful, but both breaks down the immunity system, making us suscepitable to dieseaes, inviting insects & parasites,etc. One tablespoon of healthy living soil has literally Trillions of teeming microbial life, all working to balance the PH, airate, 'airating water retention, soon feeding the broken down nutes for a balance diet. MG kills the Microbes, weakens the plants immunity & cell structure, etc. Not one aspect of MG promotes anything Healthy for the plant or soil. Also, Organic growing is not more expensive in the long run. Once soil is provided with the proper nutes, etc; it gets healthier each year with less requirements. It GROWS... It MULTIPLIES. The Microbial Life, the Fungi's & Bacteria, that feeds & protects the plants. The best pot in the world is just a by-product of having a healthy soil, unlike chem infested soils, which is a dead zone. My 2¢

Plants don't store chemicals that can harm us, except the cannabinoids...
MG been around for decades, no one is dieing from consuming plant material grown in MG soil.
MG promotes healthy plant growth...Otherwise they wouldn't grow faster and produce more vegetables.


Ofcourse ORGANIC is going to be better tasting product, but who said MG was the best?

If your planting directly in-ground outside beneficial bacteria/fungi will get consumed by predatory bugs before the next season. So they don't necessarily get better each year.

I've always grown organic in pots + indoor, but mostly with an amended sunshine#4 and compost teas.
When I plant in the ground, it's MG soil + water grabber.
I don't use the nutes, but the soil works great outside in-ground because it doesn't attract bugs so much.

Some personal experience goes a long way...

Why the big discussion about soil? Pot is a plant like any other, grow it how you see fit and don't rely on the (somewhat dubious) advise of others. You are the one who makes the decisions that affect YOUR life and what you do. MG, Kellogs, Fox Farm, whatever, just put the seeds in some dirt, water them, and grow some pot. You'll make mistakes along the way but that's how us humans learn.

If only it were that easy. A lot of the times...the soils is TOO HOT for seedlings. So yeah...you go ahead and buy some hot as dirt and throw some seeds in it...bet you won't grow any "pot" though.

This thread is seriously still going?

not alway true, although it is not wise starting seedlings in hot soil, it doesnt spell certain death. My first good harvested grow was MG, soil and nutes start to finish, and yes I put them straight in the prenuted MG from the start. I wouldnt do this again as I know the possible consequenses, but its not like you do this and none of your plants will make it because thats not the case

That's probably why I said "a lot of times"
