Organic Vs. Synthetic Nutrients

Sure, which is alluding to the point I’m trying to make. You might get different expressions from the exact same fertilizer on the exact same plant, using different media because of how the fertilizer reacts with said media. Some fertilizer companies even make different lines for soil, coco, or straight hydroponics. Some don’t.

That’s partly why I find the umbrella statements of what Synthetic feed can do over Organic methods ironic and hilarious.

Hydroponic mediums are inert so the difference would be which medium provides more oxygen to the roots.
Pro mix vs coco vs ebb n flow all using the same nutrient. You would get better growth with ebb n flow with all things being equal except medium.

Peat moss and coco are considered soil-less media by themselves, which can and often times (in the case of coco) are used hydroponically. They both are not inert, and have very different Cation Exchange Capacities and ph buffering than say rockwool, perlite, expanded clay pebbles, or DWC/Aeroponics.

And in this case, I’m talking about quality of finished bud, not vegetative growth rates when comparing.
