currently in netherlands, but if I can't find it here I can also buy from USWhere do you live? Many products are not available in other countries.
This is simply not true - coco coir is an inert organic soilless medium, yet you have to feed it... sure you can amend it and add your inputs upfront and then simply water, but you can also feed it (with organic inputs or otherwise..) with liquid/powdered ferts, foliar sprays, top dressing...If you have to feed it, it is not organic. Organics are always in 'Living soil'. Living soil means it feeds the plants, you don't.
There are a couple of ways to do this, start with a living soil and amend it a bit for cannabis, this is what we do, No till grow boxes (similar to Earth boxes), or outside in the wild.
Coco absorbs magnesium and causes shortages in straight organic grows. It should not be used in organics because it throws them off.This is simply not true - coco coir is an inert organic soilless medium, yet you have to feed it... sure you can amend it and add your inputs upfront and then simply water, but you can also feed it (with organic inputs or otherwise..) with liquid/powdered ferts, foliar sprays, top dressing...
No-till organic soil is not the ONLY way to grow organically...
You can see what we use in our thread HERE--> SF1000 goes Organic in our 2x4 | THCFarmercurrently in netherlands, but if I can't find it here I can also buy from US
There is something I don't get: the basis of organic growth is that the bacteria and fungi in the soil eat the organic matter to make it assimilable by the plant, but this is impossible in coco being inert without life, am I wrong?This is simply not true - coco coir is an inert organic soilless medium, yet you have to feed it... sure you can amend it and add your inputs upfront and then simply water, but you can also feed it (with organic inputs or otherwise..) with liquid/powdered ferts, foliar sprays, top dressing...

Thank you! I have one last question: is that bad using these? I mean in the end will I get a quality bud without chemical residues? (I'm a fan of grow organic)Would be a hybrid approach yep. To answer OP's question though it's absolutely OK to use those together, the AN nutes won't harm the microbial life unless you used enough to also harm the plant.
but it won't be organic anymore, from a purist standpoint.
Nope, not bad if you know why you use what you use, and use it appropriately.Thank you! I have one last question: is that bad using these? I mean in the end will I get a quality bud without chemical residues? (I'm a fan of grow organic)
I see how you are. Calling me names when my screen is turned...Would be a hybrid approach yep. To answer OP's question though it's absolutely OK to use those together, the AN nutes won't harm the microbial life unless you used enough to also harm the plant.

I really appreciate it, thank you all!Nope, not bad if you know why you use what you use, and use it appropriately.

you canHi! So, this is a noob question...
I've always thought I was growing 100% organic, but since I bought sensizym, bud candy and rinho skin from AD I’m not so sure anymore, I can’t see much infos online, are these nuts fine to run a full organic grow cycle without killing my soil life or these are not organic and will just make my npk organic nutes useless?
I’m sorry if my English sucks
I’ll appreciate any help!

i use mycos and such in my coco.There is something I don't get: the basis of organic growth is that the bacteria and fungi in the soil eat the organic matter to make it assimilable by the plant, but this is impossible in coco being inert without life, am I wrong?
