Im not sure how wanting a higher end product that we charge more for is a crusade
Im not sure I follow, wanting to grow cleaner better tasting weed is greedy? I mean sure its a business, and they want to profit, but delivering clean/tasty product is what we are trying to do. Would you rather it be completely illegal again?
I think what he's trying to say is, they are more likely looking at it from a pure business standpoint. If a business has something going, and it's working for them, they're much less likely to risk something new that may change their product (even for the better) without 110% assurance that it will not have a negative impact on their business. Factors such as profit over operating costs, etc. come in to play. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" is the usual mindset of most business owners. And as Shamashmagu said, for the grower, he's probably more worried about keeping his job than trying to impress the boss.Im not sure I follow, wanting to grow cleaner better tasting weed is greedy?

I dunno. I could be wrong, but that's what it sounds like is going on there. Welcome to the Farm, by the way!
Sure, I think that is the way all businesses work isnt it? If it costs more to grow and you incur more manpower hours that product should cost more.You said “we charge more”.

Listen Im trying to determine the real viability of this. Rather than try and paint me as this or that you just give me your opinion on the validity of super soils having higher terps. Or even better back it up with some kind of labs of each. Im not here to fight for either, Im here to see if the hype is real.
Fair enough. I think a water only soil will not get the plant to demonstrate its full potential unless well dialed in to that specific plant. Quite an involved process. I do think the high micro nutrient content and diversity of elements from varied sources effects the flavor, smell and maybe potency. I prefer to veg in premium potting soil and add a natural based fertilizer as needed for best results in flower. I have also tried chemical based powder and liquid chemical nutes. Really very slight differences and none of the patients, family or us could tell reliably in blind testing of organic and inorganic. I use pure blend pro because it works well with my well water. We all got them wrong consistantly. And we are some seasoned smokers. I started smoking in the early 80’s.
And as said above. Tests show that a nutrient ion is a nutrient ion to the plants because fertilizer companies are doing the testing.
There is a report out there for a fruit or vegetable that showed “living” soil have more flavenoids. But in a specific veggie.
There are also now reports of disease immunity being better with strong micro life.
Im sure with legal rec there will be plenty of tests on marijuana coming. But the companies will all have an agenda. I wpuld like to see university of michigan testing.
My preference for super soil is because I have a better understanding of how to grow plants in organic soil, not because I think it's a "better" way to do things.
All grows of any plant are about setting up an ecosystem that works for the grower and the plants, and quality of the end product is a result of the relationship between them. Each different medium is another path to the top of the same mountain.
What is your basic soil recipe? Im not trying to get any secrets. I use a Soma recipe (roughly)
