Try growing without tons of chemicals

Using all these crazy chemicals on plants is getting out of control. I'm seeing so many new things and crazy things getting used on plants that are being smoked or used for edibles. Some list are like 10 items long grow bigs, booster, grow more, grow even bigger, grow even more lmao. I'm sure this will get some people excited as some of my post do but its like cheating using all the chemicals to grow weed. I see some post of Chernobyl looking buds and plants that claim to b grown by a person not a chemical lmao. Fake tits look great but they arnt real. But this is our world now I guess ( look at me I bought a 30 dollar seed cannabis cup winner lol and gave it crazy amounts of chemicals and ( I) key word , grew these huge toxic buds). Same as the medical shit that when lit sparks like a firework. Well that's my rant happy growing all or happy cheming I should say
 
Those chems may (or may not) make huge buds, I dont use them, I like organics! To me even with flushing, those heavy chems leave a bad taste, and what I have seen here from the shops is harsh! (not to mention over priced @ $2000+ per lb)
 
Yes, the marketing machine has created insanity, IMO.

There was a Polish horticulturist who tested/studied/published 7 different feeding style/types etc. (in soil) a few years ago on cannabis.
Jorge Cervantes had him on video explaining the study.

The very best results in quantity and quality came from an organic soil with adding just minerals.
Second best was organic soil with good quality water.

Those results changed the way I grow.

The problem I see, is the nutrient manufacturers making claims which may have some "science" behind it-
The amount their nutrient effects the grow- are simply splitting hairs of the actual significance.

Yeah salt based nute lines haven’t been my thing either. I went organic and couldn’t be happier. I haven’t had a nute lockout or pH problem in years. Lots of good options out there right now. You got guano lines, Nectar for the Gods, and even Advanced Nutrients just released a certified organic line. As long as you’re feeding your soil beneficial microbes with them, you’ll never see a greener garden.
 
Organic has always given me great flavor and smooth smoke. But when it comes down to it your plants need NPK and various other trace substances to thrive. Essentially the salt based nutrients are already broken down to the most readily available form. That being said I will only ever grow organic.
 
Haha that's funny mountain spring have minerals in there not synthetic nutrients. Its what is going into watering I'm talking about
 
I'm a golf course superintendent so I'm into all the chemicals. And have studied enough to be as organic as possible with grows. A few days ago a buddy of mine who sadly has cancer brought over some med weed. I was blown away at how bad it was. We stopped and I brought out some herer I have and he was amazed with it. Gave the poor guy some to take home and told him to see me if he needs more. My point of the rant was from what I've seen on here most are growing buds that would crush the meds but also some are getting crazy with the nutrients happy growing Thanks for feed back
 
Phosphorus and potassium are minerals that are extracted and processed to remove toxins. I believe you are only speaking about nitrogen which is syntheticly manufactured?
Synthetic nutes are readily available for use by the plant. Organic ones rely on microbes to make the nutrients available to the plant. So you have less control with organic. Plus, microbes work best with in hotter climates, where mj grows better in cooler ones when directly compared.
Why do you say organic is better?

I guess I have no idea what I'm saying. Sounded like try growing without 109 different things added to watering just putting it out there. Keep it simple stupid ill take simple
 
Understood. Any good system needs to be lean. So I know what you mean by K.I.S.S., I just like to think about what is available in perfect soil for growing mj. Personally, I use a mix of organic and and synthetic. I also use plenty of beneficial organisms. A healthy soil is key to great success.
 
That’s commendable of you. Each is their own with nutes...Totally agree about not overdoing it.
 
I think moderation in all things including nutrition of my grow is important (1/2) of manufacturers rec.dose is my norm sometimes less Is more😁
