Great video keep them coming! Just a note Epsom salts are classed as organic because it's a naturally occurring mineral requiring no chemical change as nature intended.
10 gal. Grow bag. Bag compost. Bag cow manure. Fill up mostly with good potting soil. Bag worm castings mixed in top. Dash humic acid. Dash chicken poo on top. Bottom feed from large tray. Masterblend liquid nutes. Twice during grow, sprinkle bat guano on top. Boom.
@@Godallmarley lol, that is just inexperience and confirmation bias. I will take that Amsterdam challenge and leave it up to the blind taste test every time. There is literally nothing happening in organics that it isn't happening with solubles, in the way of plant growth, except the stress factor of being in soil itself and having microbes first eat certain compounds and thus having to shit back them back out so your plant can have only a chance to uptake them. Good solubles have multi source nitrates higher number of essentials and micros with organic chelation from, Ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) Diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA) Ethylenediaminedihydroxy-phenylaceticacid (EDDHA) which guarantees uptake every time.
@jiggyjay682 honestly ive found letting it get dry to the point where the plant leaf ends slightly start to droop, then watering until the soil is saturated, but no run off works well for me.👍
My number one and two problems with organic. 1 Fungus gnats, which isnt hard or get rid of but annoying. 2 Smells, I use fish hydrolysate and enzymes that smell horrific but the girls love it!
Fungus gnat control = remove top layer of soil, about 1 inch - 1-1/2 inch. Replace with clean pumice either fine or coarse grade and let pots dry out between waterings. If you don't already, water from the bottom. I have noticed the difference big time letting them dry properly and watering from the bottom. It
Best of both worlds. I'm using both throughout. It's important to keep in mind what amount of soluble and insoluble organics are being used. It's also really important not to use rock dust or anything with heavy metals like azomite when using synthetics. More specifically, chelated Edta nutes. With EDTA, the plant uptakes large amounts of heavy metals.
I have found myself sitting between the 2 camps, Organic and synth. I like to consider myself organic, enriching my homemade compost with all natural products from DTE and Compost tea. I also like to grow different strains, and not every genetic requires the same thing in the same amounts. Ill use these other products to fix anything that's out of balance. Great video, love the energy you put into you presentations!! Can tell your very passionate about the field! Synganic.... i like it
Organic isn't nearly as hard as you make it sound. Earthbox with BuildaSoil 3.0 soil. Top dress with Craft Blend 1 cup every 30 days from seed to harvest. Use Recharge or your favorite mico. Reuse the soil for 3 cycles. You will have great results. Yes, you can make it more complicated to "maximize" the plants potential, but you don't have to.
I tried reusing soil for a couple runs organic or not i ended up with slimy gross fungus gnat infested soil. I prefer to blow $25 a bag on brand new soil each run 😁😁
Environmental pro tip for synthetics, you can pretty easily build a photo bioreactor to clean your fertilizer runoff. Clear tote, air pump/stone and an algae culture, algae eats the fertilizer in the water then you can reintroduce it to the water table without all those salts
I'll do either 1:1 coco / mushroom compost+ Perlite+ castings+ gypsum+ dry nutrients blend + microbes blends and teas = easy water only grow with liquid silica and lemon juice in the water. But coco + canna A+b + calmag iron + silica is just stupid easy as well. I'm not been able to determine one produceing a "better" medicinal plant than the other , but I definitely think organics is easier in the sense that I don't have to make up nutes every week
Very true...unless you sell a product that isn't an organic fertilizer. In that case, someone might claim the organic style is difficult to learn blah blah blah. Many of his videos are honest, but this one was a bit lame since he was obviously putting down organic in favor of his own product.
Lots of great information ! I use both to be honest for me it's what I have on hand or the best deal on. I make a lot of my own organic fertilizers and wait until Walmart has theirs on sale for next to nothing and I stock up lol . For my corn crop I go to the CO-OP and by bulk Synthetic fertilizer because it's way cheaper than organic . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
Synganics for the win. 2lbs out of my 5x5 tent of fire herb. 34 plants in 1.5 gallon containers. I top dress with gaia green 444 and 284, I feed synthetic nutes at 500ppm once a week so the plant can get nutrients that they're missing. It's like us taking supplements
@truthonly7699 i used to grow in bigger pots but this run was 34 strain run to select keepers. I like doing more plants as I get a perpetual harvest every 70 days cause I don't have to veg more than a week. I also love many flavors of cannabis.
Dilute synthetic nutes 1/4 of directed rate on bottle for synganics as a general rule of thumb. Adding them to a worm or compost tea lbrew ets them react with organic molecules , bacteria and fungi in solution to act as a buffer and reduces risk to roots and worms... worms will do the rest for you,they are your best friend....
Been growing since...it was legalized in my state. I use 75g Grow Dots, Hand watering with Recharge once a week and tap water when needed in between. In 5G Rain Science Autoflower Bags filled with a 70/15/15 CannaCoco/WurmCase/Verm mix. Always autoflowers (I mentioned this same thing on Grambo's recent autoflower post), and always different strains. No problems. I have tried various soil/fert/potsize etc and this is my go to setup where I know it will work, and work well. Six plants fill my 5X5. I use Nukehead seeds also most of the time, not sure if DGC is aware of them. I vouch for them. Big autos, all the good things, etc. Depending on the strain I guess, I admit I have not grown them all...yet.
Finally hit the ladies with my 1st ever feeding with recharge 4 days ago and wow they smiled like never before. I'm done with anything else! Thx Scotty!!
Ive used everything. Best advice i can give you is stick with 1, get good at it. Run the same genetics learn your plants, dial in your regimen and environment. lf you go with soil and organic expect it to be a little slower, coco and liquid nutrients, explosive growth! Choice is yours
A buddy was asking me about deficiencies. I was like your asking the wrong person I use live organic soil. Only deficiency I see is phosphate. So keep some hpk roots organic around.
I am using an organic for my autos I have been growing. They are working great but I use a lighter strength mix. They don’t seem to need the same amount of nutrients as the photos I have grown. I use Alaskan fish fertilizer, micro plus, and flower fuel. All brands are different, but they work very well together. I have made my own Jerry Springer spray, (colloidal silver), so once I have a few of my favorite fem auto seeds it is back to photos again. I might keep using the organic fertilizers for some plants. But there are some plants that I have grown you can throw as much nitrogen as you want to it and it doesn’t burn them. For the most part, I’ve used synthetics for them. When I grew blue dream every watering, I could hit them with very high nitrogen even through bloom. Potassium and phosphorus I just ran at my normal measurements and nitrogen I double up on until last three weeks of bloom. Great results but cost more in nutrients. I have also used blackstrap molasses for my Bloom stage. To my surprise, it works very good, but I did notice a sweeter different taste to my weed.
Same. I'm at week 9 of flower and I've completely cut out nutes and only watering till small amount of run off. Diluting even more as I essentially flush nutes to bottom and eventually a low ppm run off as they start to fade.
It’s not vs really, it’s what works best for you. Right now I live in a small apartment so I’m not fixing to put a compost bin in my kitchen, good ole gh 3 part will do the job. I’ve grown fire with organics too though, I just had a bigger place then.
I prefer living soil. Ive even added dwarf white isopods to my soil bin and keeping a colony going to add as needed. They break down things dead plant matter and aerate the soil. But orangics for sure. I use gh trio for growing leafy greens kratky style.
I am still to top Advanced Nutrients. Nothing came close to it. But im growwing organic nutrients, compost, worm castings, rock dust, bone meal. But boosting 30% recommended synth dose on normal schedule. I still have mycoroot fruiting in my pots
Organic is awesome but i like being able to directly control my ppm strength and add nutes whenever I need, with organic its a little harder to time adding more top feed. Also every since i switch from gen hydro to dyna gro ive seen way more quality plants overall
I struggled more with synthetics than organics im not sure why. Everyone always says bottled nutes are easy but i never had good results with them. Now i run build a soil, top dress with roots organic, occasionally make a compost tea, i use recharge for my microbes and get great results. I do wanna try the grow dots eventually.
This is just my opinion I used to grow organic way too slow for me and kind of boring water when light I switch to bottles synthetic I veg my plants for 4 weeks if I go any longer my plants got to hit the ceiling I have a 8 ft tent 4 weeks That's all I need
One of my biggest ask about organics is in true organics relying on the soil microbial populations, are there toxicities that will occur with certain nutrients in the system or is it more so a law of minimums like the barrel reference, where it’s only deficiencies that’ll occur based off what there is the lowest concentration of in your soil? Is it just specific nutes that’ll still be broken down by microbes into toxic levels? Are microbes still breaking down certain nutrients even in the absence of the specific exudates/sugars the roots will excrete in order for that nute to be broken down? Id love to imagine it’s a perfect balance where only what the plant needs willl be made available so long as it’s there to be broken down in soil based off of the exudates the plant produces, but I’d love to hear more before giving it a go. I’ve failed miserably 2 times with organics and never looked back but they were my literal first 2 grows… I love the consistency I achieve in my hydro set up but am interested at what I could do with maybe giving a soil recipe that’s been tried like Jeremy’s or Coots
Organix always produces a superior product but it does take more time ( or better organizational skills so your always set for the next stage) chemicals always produce more but quality always suffers ,specifically taste wise. Begginers are usually attracted to the " more yeild" side of the equation which lends to synthetics/hydroponics and grow show gouging big profits ,organics is harder to learn but as growers gain experience and their palate develops ( hopefully) they look to and appreciate more the organic approach. ❤
I grow organically. I use Down To Earth amendments and create a super soil. I've come across an issue on my current grow that I can't figure out. My plants haven't grown almost at all this past week. I think it's because I topped dressed 5 weeks after placing my plants in there final home. I also noticed deficiency on the lowest set of leaves on 2 of my plants (appears to be potassium). I know it takes time for the amendments to break down and be available for the roots. I'm planning on flushing my soil tonight. Also thinking about adding some Recharge with the last gallon of the flush water for each plant. What are your thoughts Scotty??
I would be careful flushing, if the pot becomes over watered it can make the potassium deficiency worse. plus with organics you can't just flush out the extra nutrition. Flushing could just cause over watering issues. It is best to figure out what caused the issue in the first place and correct that.
@@ScottyReal420 man Scotty, I wish I had waited for your response. I flushed about 12 hours before you replied. I flushed with 3 gal per plant. 2 gal of water and 1 gal with Recharge in it. I did notice new growth though as of last night. And all the new growth is lighter green compared to everything else. I didn't mention before that I had just topped and defoliated the lower growth of my plants a week before I had top dressed. So each plant only has 2 nodes. And, that I top dressed 5 weeks after I transplanted into the 7gal containers (final home). "Getting them ready for lst" Aside from the slow to no growth I was seeing, 2 of my plants showed signs of deficiency. Looked like Potassium deficiency. And as of last night, the tips of most of the leaves are curled downward (over watering im guessing??). Any advice would be great advice. Obviously, I won't be doing much to them since the soil is currently so moist. I was thinking about poking some holes in the soil with a shis kabob skewer to help get some oxygen in the root zone. But I'm afraid of damaging the roots.

The ease of flushing soil with synthetics was mentioned, and also said that recharge will help the synthetic nutrients stick around. Does this affect my ability to flush the soil fast and easy?
I’ve heard a botanist say that “Plants can’t tell if Nitrogen or other nutrients are Synthetic, or Organic because the molecules are still the molecules when the plant 🌱 uses them.” So, the plant doesn’t know HOW you acquired the molecules, they just uptake the molecules. He said the whole synthetic Vs. Organic is largely a money 💰 grab by corporations on uneducated growers. If you do the right things, which take time and experience, you’ll have successful grows. Makes sense to Me. 🤷🏾♂️
There's a variable you didn't take into account. Organics Alive nutrients are readily available because of the microbes already broke down the organic plant/ fruit. And then dried into powder.
What is the best way to use recharge? Mixed in a gallon jug or sprinkle some of the recharge powder on top of my soil I’ve been mixing a tablespoon powder with water which is the best
Definitely use microbes! Recharge is part of my regimine, as well as Mycos and Acos. Trying to go more organic with as little synthetic as possible. Im using Down to Earth amendments in Pro Soil HP. Using Grow Dots and Recharge for the 8 autos.
Synthetics is a misnomer. It's more accurately to say Mined or refined. Salts are then optimizing through organic chemistry with chelation. There is only pure advantage with refined nutrients. The only fault is with the grower., learn to properly mix nutrients the real secret is to always be feeding, never let soil dry out (period) and always runoff 30% not a to not only flush resolidified salts but to replace the nutrient evacuated water (the ability to run off is a superpower not a disadvantage). You will have a better product when done right. The environmental impact is a lie most the red tide is from beach erosion after turbulent weather streaks. that and you can simply nock the excess nutrients out of suspension by raising the runoff waters PH over 10 then let it settle to the bottom before you dump or reuse. I just simply dump it on my lawn, the greenest in the neighbor hood.
a lot of home growers do not wanna have to sort through male plants, so more fem seeds we being purchased, so the breeders starting focusing on what was bringing the sales.
I feel sorry for newbies tooo much science now with growing... My first plant was 1992..I use earth juice fertilizers with powder milk, molasses and Epsom salt.....in soil...I love my grows..such a great feeling getting stoned off something you grow your self..... Milk is soooooo old school no growers of today even talk on it...
So let me get this straight, salt is mined, so it's synthetic? Same with calcium (gypsum), I continuously see people claiming mined nutrients are synthesized. Stop it
The biggest mistake I see new organic growers make is to run aggressive dry-backs like you would in something like Coco. Organics is more about keeping the soil alive rather than the plants. Letting the soil dry out will kill the microbes.
Exactly. You need the microbes to break down the organic fertilizer into nutrients. Dry medium = less to no microbes = less to no nutrients available for the plants.
So it prrobably would sound crazy but I do use water from my aquarium when I make watter change for fishes. Water is soft with some natural N and good pH :) Works good for flowers as hell
I reuse my soil, since I started my grows have gotten better and better. Can I continue to reuse indefinitely, (I add worm castings and nutrients) or will the soil eventually start to show diminished returns.
Hey Scotty whats your opinion on house and garden with sunshine #4 thats what I've been rocking since the early 2000s but i also use a little great white and by week 4-5 i start using molasses and i PH with lemons please let me know what you think thanks and love the channel great info i digs keep it up thanks a ton oh and i start my seedlings and clones in lite warrior by fox farm
Hey Scotty I have a quick question when growing cannabis in soil am I able to use liquid nutrients. I am doing an outside run and have only ever done indoor hydro runs.
taste is diff in organics but no enought to competley rid of syn,but i use organics cus im lazy lol....once every 30 days-Organics .....once evey 7 days- synthetics
I was given a 23L of bud candy… is it safe or should I mix with with general hydroponics? I’m currently using 7 part GH. I was just wondering if it were safe to replace the floranectar with the bud candy
Incorrect organic u have a way bigger buffer if I do over fertilize organic is so easy and cheap. I make all my own LABS FFJ FPJ and compost. And epsom salt is organic it potassium sulfate from a fresh water spring in Epsom England 🏴. Epsom and molasses is organic farmers cal mag and shrimp meal at transplant
My first job was at a plant nursery, and I was appalled by the waste and contamination of those little yellow time-release pellets the used to use. I swore the was a better way. So, I tried every form of "organic possible", the reality is the organic industry is basically the "Herbalife" of dirt, if it were run By Mr. Burns. Almost all are shell companies for human waste or involved endangered Bat and Seabird habitat disruption. Carbon emissions from organic fertilizers can be as much as 80% high than salts and that's from mine to doorstep. There is no such this as synthetic, solubles are chelated with organic components, also soluble salts are often cleaner to produce than organics and are usually a byproduct of creating Orgainics. Salts take a smaller volume of water to produce, transport, administer and have fewer heavy metals PERIOD! Salts also have a smaller carbon footprint, even when mined there is less refining, and less water involved than soil amendments as well less pollution in general. Salts are also chelated with organic components making them superior for plant availability with zero need for added sugars to feed Fungi or Bactria for material break down like in soil. Bottom line is if you're indoor and love pests and get a hardon by doing growing in shit with pests and heavy metals, then by all means keep using dirt. But if you like clean CUP winning results every single time with zero Gnats, then try a run side by side and try to let go of the dogmatic lies of Organics and its cult of vapid lost souls.
I have a question I have auto pots and I bought the grow dots. Can I use them with auto pots just put in some silica and some recharge in the reservoir? Thank you so much. I do hope you will help me with this question.. have a great day
Love the simplicity of organics when water when needed and not all the messin with mixing and measuring synthetics

It’s important for new organic growers to keep there soil moist/wet and less dry back. You never really want to see wilting in organic conditions
very true.
You can still dry the plant out quite a bit, to the point where the pot is so light it feels like its devoid of moisture before wilting.🎉
I''m in Organic Soil and I let it get 50 percent dry. before adding a liter
@jiggyjay682 honestly ive found letting it get dry to the point where the plant leaf ends slightly start to droop, then watering until the soil is saturated, but no run off works well for me.👍

Nice, Grow Dots are easy to try out while other plants are in organics, because it is all just water only.
To tell everyone the truth if u know how to plant and care for any plant u can do it with Marijuana too👊
All synthetic for me and the recharge is the shit beautiful healthy plants is the outcome thanks Scotty for keeping it real Peace
This is just my opinion I used to grow organic way too slow for me and kind of boring water when light I switch to bottles synthetic I veg my plants for 4 weeks if I go any longer my plants got to hit the ceiling I have a 8 ft tent 4 weeks That's all I need
One of my biggest ask about organics is in true organics relying on the soil microbial populations, are there toxicities that will occur with certain nutrients in the system or is it more so a law of minimums like the barrel reference, where it’s only deficiencies that’ll occur based off what there is the lowest concentration of in your soil? Is it just specific nutes that’ll still be broken down by microbes into toxic levels? Are microbes still breaking down certain nutrients even in the absence of the specific exudates/sugars the roots will excrete in order for that nute to be broken down? Id love to imagine it’s a perfect balance where only what the plant needs willl be made available so long as it’s there to be broken down in soil based off of the exudates the plant produces, but I’d love to hear more before giving it a go. I’ve failed miserably 2 times with organics and never looked back but they were my literal first 2 grows… I love the consistency I achieve in my hydro set up but am interested at what I could do with maybe giving a soil recipe that’s been tried like Jeremy’s or Coots
Microbes don’t break down nutes🤦♂️ they break down the available minerals and carbo chains and yada yada, but y’all got what I meant😂💯
I use Dr earth organic fertilizer, can I also use Recharge to Kickstart things??
Absolutely, Recharge can be used with any form of nutrients, and will help break down the organic fertilizer.
I use Dr. Earth too. I was wondering the same question
Organix always produces a superior product but it does take more time ( or better organizational skills so your always set for the next stage) chemicals always produce more but quality always suffers ,specifically taste wise.
Begginers are usually attracted to the " more yeild" side of the equation which lends to synthetics/hydroponics and grow show gouging big profits ,organics is harder to learn but as growers gain experience and their palate develops ( hopefully) they look to and appreciate more the organic approach. ❤
I grow organically. I use Down To Earth amendments and create a super soil. I've come across an issue on my current grow that I can't figure out. My plants haven't grown almost at all this past week. I think it's because I topped dressed 5 weeks after placing my plants in there final home. I also noticed deficiency on the lowest set of leaves on 2 of my plants (appears to be potassium). I know it takes time for the amendments to break down and be available for the roots. I'm planning on flushing my soil tonight. Also thinking about adding some Recharge with the last gallon of the flush water for each plant. What are your thoughts Scotty??
I would be careful flushing, if the pot becomes over watered it can make the potassium deficiency worse. plus with organics you can't just flush out the extra nutrition. Flushing could just cause over watering issues. It is best to figure out what caused the issue in the first place and correct that.
@@ScottyReal420 man Scotty, I wish I had waited for your response. I flushed about 12 hours before you replied. I flushed with 3 gal per plant. 2 gal of water and 1 gal with Recharge in it.
I did notice new growth though as of last night. And all the new growth is lighter green compared to everything else.
I didn't mention before that I had just topped and defoliated the lower growth of my plants a week before I had top dressed. So each plant only has 2 nodes. And, that I top dressed 5 weeks after I transplanted into the 7gal containers (final home). "Getting them ready for lst"
Aside from the slow to no growth I was seeing, 2 of my plants showed signs of deficiency. Looked like Potassium deficiency. And as of last night, the tips of most of the leaves are curled downward (over watering im guessing??).
Any advice would be great advice. Obviously, I won't be doing much to them since the soil is currently so moist. I was thinking about poking some holes in the soil with a shis kabob skewer to help get some oxygen in the root zone. But I'm afraid of damaging the roots.

Love ur show bro... gotta go organic
Thank you.
The ease of flushing soil with synthetics was mentioned, and also said that recharge will help the synthetic nutrients stick around. Does this affect my ability to flush the soil fast and easy?
I’ve heard a botanist say that “Plants can’t tell if Nitrogen or other nutrients are Synthetic, or Organic because the molecules are still the molecules when the plant 🌱 uses them.” So, the plant doesn’t know HOW you acquired the molecules, they just uptake the molecules.
He said the whole synthetic Vs. Organic is largely a money 💰 grab by corporations on uneducated growers.
If you do the right things, which take time and experience, you’ll have successful grows.
Makes sense to Me. 🤷🏾♂️
What do you think about eggshells disovled in white wine vinegar for calcium . the wine vinegar has minerals in it too.
This a great natural farming technique.
There's a variable you didn't take into account.
Organics Alive nutrients are readily available because of the microbes already broke down the organic plant/ fruit. And then dried into powder.
Ps. Simply professional nutrients I think are imidiate also. I just found them still doing research. But there's has everything they say
Masterblend and coco for the win.
I use Mills, use mammoth P and Tribus
Honey chome in coco
i personally like organic!
What is the best way to use recharge? Mixed in a gallon jug or sprinkle some of the recharge powder on top of my soil I’ve been mixing a tablespoon powder with water which is the best
Definitely use microbes! Recharge is part of my regimine, as well as Mycos and Acos. Trying to go more organic with as little synthetic as possible. Im using Down to Earth amendments in Pro Soil HP. Using Grow Dots and Recharge for the 8 autos.
Heck I'm still waiting to hear back about your new grow dots with more mag in it
It is now available on our website, and is what you will receive if you order directly from us.
Hey Scotty. Why no Grow Dots in Canada! Recharge available but no Grow Dots
Trudeau says it's a big no no.
Synthetics is a misnomer. It's more accurately to say Mined or refined. Salts are then optimizing through organic chemistry with chelation. There is only pure advantage with refined nutrients. The only fault is with the grower., learn to properly mix nutrients the real secret is to always be feeding, never let soil dry out (period) and always runoff 30% not a to not only flush resolidified salts but to replace the nutrient evacuated water (the ability to run off is a superpower not a disadvantage). You will have a better product when done right.
The environmental impact is a lie most the red tide is from beach erosion after turbulent weather streaks. that and you can simply nock the excess nutrients out of suspension by raising the runoff waters PH over 10 then let it settle to the bottom before you dump or reuse. I just simply dump it on my lawn, the greenest in the neighbor hood.
Synganics is the way
Hi guys love your show this question popped into my head why do we not see regular seeds so much now all feminised UK 👍
a lot of home growers do not wanna have to sort through male plants, so more fem seeds we being purchased, so the breeders starting focusing on what was bringing the sales.
I’d rather give my money to this bro than a big company.
My preference is BOTH ORGANIC .& "SYNTHETIC"
NO MORE THEORY
SALT ?????? IS NOT SYNTHETIC
Can I use Recharge with my regular nutrients w/o the Dots?
I feel sorry for newbies tooo much science now with growing...
My first plant was 1992..I use earth juice fertilizers with powder milk, molasses and Epsom salt.....in soil...I love my grows..such a great feeling getting stoned off something you grow your self.....
Milk is soooooo old school no growers of today even talk on it...
Thanks for sharing
Do organics have a shelf life? I've been growing for 3 years and still have some of my original purchases, opened of course.
So recharge in Coco? ... I love Coco don't care about fert waste but very interesting to learn there's a better way...
the salt you wash off at the beach is not the same kind of salt that is in the synthetic fertilizer.
I love it no bottles
So let me get this straight, salt is mined, so it's synthetic?
Same with calcium (gypsum), I continuously see people claiming mined nutrients are synthesized. Stop it
Been synganic from the beginning, before the term even came to be.
The biggest mistake I see new organic growers make is to run aggressive dry-backs like you would in something like Coco. Organics is more about keeping the soil alive rather than the plants. Letting the soil dry out will kill the microbes.
I agree, thanks for sharing!
Exactly. You need the microbes to break down the organic fertilizer into nutrients. Dry medium = less to no microbes = less to no nutrients available for the plants.
So it prrobably would sound crazy but I do use water from my aquarium when I make watter change for fishes. Water is soft with some natural N and good pH :) Works good for flowers as hell
Scotty h.ve encountered the red tides here in Ireland .Fishing is shit during red tide.
Hell yeah, that's pretty much basic aquaponics!
I reuse my soil, since I started my grows have gotten better and better. Can I continue to reuse indefinitely, (I add worm castings and nutrients) or will the soil eventually start to show diminished returns.
I soak my peat plugs in recharge before sewing the bean n they explode right out the plug
That's awesome, I do this myself.
@@ScottyReal420 learned from you growmie
Ima have to do that thanks for the gem … that’s why I read the comments too
We are natural, so what we do is natural.
Hey Scotty whats your opinion on house and garden with sunshine #4 thats what I've been rocking since the early 2000s but i also use a little great white and by week 4-5 i start using molasses and i PH with lemons please let me know what you think thanks and love the channel great info i digs keep it up thanks a ton oh and i start my seedlings and clones in lite warrior by fox farm
Hey Scotty I have a quick question when growing cannabis in soil am I able to use liquid nutrients. I am doing an outside run and have only ever done indoor hydro runs.
I am not Scotty but yes. Works great.
taste is diff in organics but no enought to competley rid of syn,but i use organics cus im lazy lol....once every 30 days-Organics .....once evey 7 days- synthetics
I was given a 23L of bud candy… is it safe or should I mix with with general hydroponics? I’m currently using 7 part GH. I was just wondering if it were safe to replace the floranectar with the bud candy
Incorrect organic u have a way bigger buffer if I do over fertilize organic is so easy and cheap. I make all my own LABS FFJ FPJ and compost. And epsom salt is organic it potassium sulfate from a fresh water spring in Epsom England 🏴. Epsom and molasses is organic farmers cal mag and shrimp meal at transplant
Do the same myself the plants are fantastic love organics
just because something is natural doesn't mean it is organic.
So you use synthetics to correct imbalances in your organic soil? 🙄
My first job was at a plant nursery, and I was appalled by the waste and contamination of those little yellow time-release pellets the used to use. I swore the was a better way. So, I tried every form of "organic possible", the reality is the organic industry is basically the "Herbalife" of dirt, if it were run By Mr. Burns. Almost all are shell companies for human waste or involved endangered Bat and Seabird habitat disruption. Carbon emissions from organic fertilizers can be as much as 80% high than salts and that's from mine to doorstep.
There is no such this as synthetic, solubles are chelated with organic components, also soluble salts are often cleaner to produce than organics and are usually a byproduct of creating Orgainics. Salts take a smaller volume of water to produce, transport, administer and have fewer heavy metals PERIOD! Salts also have a smaller carbon footprint, even when mined there is less refining, and less water involved than soil amendments as well less pollution in general. Salts are also chelated with organic components making them superior for plant availability with zero need for added sugars to feed Fungi or Bactria for material break down like in soil.
Bottom line is if you're indoor and love pests and get a hardon by doing growing in shit with pests and heavy metals, then by all means keep using dirt.
But if you like clean CUP winning results every single time with zero Gnats, then try a run side by side and try to let go of the dogmatic lies of Organics and its cult of vapid lost souls.
Thanks for the info!
I have a question I have auto pots and I bought the grow dots. Can I use them with auto pots just put in some silica and some recharge in the reservoir? Thank you so much. I do hope you will help me with this question.. have a great day
I grow organic and I noticed a huge difference after I added recharge
Nice!
Organics best taste
how do you feel about smart pots watering system ?
Nutes for life
