I wasted minutes of my life reading the first 5 pages. One of the stupider and more useless threads going. All of these ideals based on nothing.
Buddhist monks who devote themselves to not harming anyone, eat honey. Are you not going to eat food from your vegetable garden because worms shit in the ground? I have a friend with chickens who throws the shit from the ground into her composter and spreads it around. If a chicken walks through her veggie garden and takes a shit, will a vegan not eat the vegetables?
Dumbest thread I've read in a long time. Props.
FWIW, i'm on my fourth organic grow , compost teas, mycchos, diotomic hummus, the whole 9 yards and I'm not seeing any radical difference in bud quality over properly grown chem ferts. The screw up factor for organics is lower and it's easier to make good weed, but I'm not seeing a difference in ash color, flavor or smoothness.
Sounds more like religion and less like facts.
A good grower can grow superb weed with chemicals and a bad grower can screw up a veganics or organics grow. I'm giving organics two more grows with a familiar strain until I make a decision. Veg time is longer, yields are smaller. Smoke is nice, but so far , not different enough for me to be sold that it "tastes better and chem ferts have a chemmy taste."
I read that enough that I set out to see for myself. So far, it's easier, but not better.
Joker,
I would disagree with your post for a few reasons.
1. There are studies that show nutrition levels and sugar levels (brix) are higher in organically grown produce vs conventional methods.
2. Conventional methods are not sustainable and tax the environment through damage to our drinking water and soil quality.
3. You're supporting a horrible industry that's run by companies like Monsanto.
4. I think organics is harder at first because you have to know a little bit about soil to get started. With chemicals, you're doing nothing more than reading a label and then identifying deficiencies. With organics you have to learn to feed the microbes (which to me is a minor point, but I think it does take more work to get a good crop for the absolute beginner).
5. I know people that get just as good of yields with organics as with chemicals, it just takes a bit more time and knowledge.
6. No need to flush your plants.
7. And more importantly, flavor aside, you're not poisoning your body with organics.
But, whatever you choose to do is a personal decision, I'm not going to attack you for it. Those are just some of the reasons why I think organic is important.
Cheers,
