Some growers swear by organic nutrients. Before you try growing with them, you need to know a couple things.
I'm a big fan of growing with synthetics. By the end of this video, you might be too.
I have grown both ways and had great success with both. At the end of the day, you can not beat the taste of organically grown bud. Just my opinion.
Snap and I agree, there is a huge difference, you get a lot of those earthy mouthwatering flavours that usually are associated with outdoor-grown. Also, it's very hard to overdo organic inputs to the point of lockouts, so you shouldn't really have issues. That's not to say you can't add too much, often newbies make the mistake of adding too many different amendments that do the same thing.
It also happens to be a fact. Growing synthic since the 90s and being doing both side by side for the last 10yrs and no matter what strain or what lighting, in or outdoors it always comes back the same. The organically grow herb always smells and tastes better.
Even the synthetically grown gets some organic imputs.They get tea and bat guano which certainly helps with the taste and smell.
@@english1midlands Indeed, synganic is another way to grow. And to be fair, the average person couldn't give 💩💩 about if it's synthetic, organic, indoor, outdoor or any combination, they want to feel medicated, individual tastes are subjective, and not everyone is even looking for those subtle afternotes and tones.
@@kirkstribble The important thing to remember in organics is balance. Keep your ratios in check...an example would be too much magnesium will lock out the calcium. Too much potassium will lock out prosperous.
I grow outdoors plants, I try to put them in a good soil base - but all my fertilizer is synthetic. My plants get 6 - 7 feet tall and grow beautiful buds, if I only tend to the pruning. I'm 71 and have grown some poor weed and some bomber weed in my day, and as mentioned on this show before, it's the genetics. I have friends who grow organic, bomber weed -they tend to be more fanatical gardeners than I am. About all I grow besides the weed is garlic, onions, hot peppers and tomatoes. I'm a lazy, relaxed old dude. Peace out, be kind - we all become fertilizer of some sort.
Hell yeah, glad to hear you are still growing at 71 💪
Dig it man !!
Wisely said, my dude. Thanks.
@Winteryears well I'm 62 I love your comment buddy
Never tried synthetic... probably never will...but who knows... Organic all the way with me
Try Plagron Terra Grow and Bloom., they are from Netherlands., cheers from Uruguay
I use a mixture of the 2 tbh but for the most part organic. I run down to earth dry amendments in ocean forest with some recharge and epsom salt. I use calmag occasionally as well but i agree, organic ftw but no shade to synthetics tho 🤝
i run a 5x5 synthetic grow alongside a 4x4 organic living soil grow... both products can have a smooth smoke and pretty much similar effects, but taste is always superior on the organic side.
@@coquicrops def right about the taste and terps with organics but a proper flush before harvest should enhance that with synthetics in my experience 👌
I agree... Terps rein supreme with Organic... Although I've noticed larger yield and denser buds with synthetic... But I choose terps
My organic grow has been so simple and easy, coco coir, perlite, worm castings, gaia green 4 4 4, terp tea compost during flower, some amino acids here and there and some sea kelp i water in during flower and lil bit of incredible bulk. Cheap, easy, and most importantly fun and rewarding
I'm for organic but that doesn't sound like cheap and easy.
@erdbeerzwiebel3404 true, what may be easy to some, may not be for someone else
The only thing I could add would be guano. It really does improve the taste.Guanokalong sell a liquid guano that's advertised as a taste improver. I'm nver without a tub and its great to add to your tea. I use that. Meal worm frass and grden worm frass along with great white.They say microbes from as many different sources as poss.I think I'm going to leave to powdered microbes alone and collect my own.
@english1midlands sounds like alot of good stuff, thanks 🤞
@@coreymcglothlin They say there's over 100,000 different types or microbes and they don't even know what 1% of them do. The companies that sell them can't site 1 piece of evidence of them benefiting the plant. That's the reason I'm going to start collecting them myself out of the garden, its very simple, and its free.
I run an indoor garden supply. Customers like what they like and nobody's wrong. It's really that simple. Why anyone feels they need to convert others is ridiculous. I'm currently using an Advanced Nutrients regimen indoors and loving it. Outdoors will be different.
I was organic all the way on my last gardens.
I bought grow dots and my plants loved them...I top dressed with 284 power bloom on my week of transition into flower. Using both organic and synthetic products is beneficial.
Knowledge is power and your channel has great content. Keep up the great work Scotty.
I'm blown away that Scotty isn't an organic grower. I figured with recharge being made by him he would definitely b on the organic side
I have tried it before but, it is not my current or preferred way.
naw, scotty likes to kill off his microbes with salts so he can add them in again 😅😅😅😂
@ScottyReal420 try a 50 gallon living soil bed with blumat and do a side by side comparison 🎉
@soyfreethoughts4306 you know it! Living soil is easily the best , no competition.
@@spazzymacgee5648 facts! Can't go back to cardboard terps that Coco coir athena nutrients create
Plants dont care , but we should ...
Happy Growing 💚
You're exactly right, very well said.
@@Prometheuss.cannabis.cornerThanks Buddy 🙏
Plants don't care about the end product because they're the same, they do care about how it's delivered, would you rather have a buffet that you can choose what you eat or have someone sitting there holding your mouth open while someone else force feeds whatever they want down your mouth
@@tylerc7336 I believe a more diverse and balanced diet is way more beneficial than just NPK.
Perfectly said Phantom. Green love from Australia 💚🌲👍🌏
Scotty I’m not touching this comments section 😂😂I’m organic grower for life 😂😂 I see what you did here ☮️☮️🪴🪴I think the best way to grow is the way you know how to grow too make it to harvest ☮️☮️
I agree, I tried organic twice and it was a mess. I did not have the knowledge and it was all my fault. I tip my hat to those who grow organicly and succefully, I would like to grow organicly one day, but after 40+ years with bottles, I'm not changing. Cheers
@@mikemike1824do you know living soil? You dont have to change it, only recharged it. Otherwise korean natural farming is something for you
Very true!
I consider myself an organic grower, shoutout to Jeremy at Build a Soil and Tad Hussey at KIS Organics, for my primary garden. I mix my own soil, have multiple worm bins, compost bins, and have spent enough money on Organic amendments to buy a small car. I have used Grow Dots in an Earthbox as a side by side with my own soil. The Grow Dots plant started slower, but finished about the same size as my regular soil. Both tasted good, but my organic had a slightly higher yield. I also use GrowDots in my "Mephisto Mini" garden with mixed nut containers, coco, pumice, wicking rope, and Mephisto Freebie tester seeds. I can get about an Oz. from each plant just by filling the bottom of reservoir tub whenever it is dry and adding in some Recharge, Microbe Complete, and Bio-Phos once a week.
Is one better than the other? No way I could get an Oz. out of a nut container using my living soil, but I love providing a buffet then letting the soil and the plant decide what it needs. Is one tastier than the other, I prefer the flavors and natural senescence from the Organic, because I just do. I have spent a ton of money being organic, so my mind must justify that as better. If you gave me two joints and asked me which was organic and which was synthetic, I could probably get 60-70 % correct, which honestly isn't much higher than randomly guessing!
Well I'm betting me knowing what the plant needs and the plant knowing what it needs, I'll place my money on the plant knowing what she needs!
This guy don't know
Thanks for Sharing your experiances!
I grow organic but if I have a problem that needs fixed immediately, such as a magnesium deficiency, I will use synthetics until the organics can take over. I don't LIKE to do it, but it's better than sick plants.
I get better terpene production (it seems) with organic and the herb tastes MUCH better.
Me too.
I worked at a grow store for a bit. Fun fact: epsom salt (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate) is considered organic. So is potassium sulfate, which is mined. And potassium phosphate. I was shocked to discover this. I think the reason is because the source of the raw material, such as sea water- is natural. These chemicals can be produced synthetically too, but the chemicals are identical are identical to the ones that occur in nature.
no
@@clamwok No what?
Look into Nectar for the Gods, great organic nutrients that are chelated, plant absorbs them super fast as they are pre-broken down
Used Jacks since the 90s with no problems use organics along with synthetics with no problems
I have a soil “organic” grow going that I put some jacks on yesterday.
Jack's is tried and true.
Yo Scotty! Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all your videos. New-er grower here and have utilized many of your philosophies. Great work my man, keep it up!
Thank you, I am glad out videos are helping People!
I grow organically. I don't have a blemish on one Leaf from start to finish, not too dark, not too light leaves. The flavour is far superior to acid grown, its much healthier I don't cough no more and neither does my dad a surviver of lung cancer but if he smokes acid grown it chokes him.. Organics is by far a better taste a happier high stronger Smell stickier and tastier and smoother it's superior in every level and that's coming from someone who smoked acid grown for 30 years.. Organic all day Onatural lol 👍
loloolol
@clamwok I won't have anyone bad mouth organics, lol 🤣👍
@@Single7s organics justn isnt where its at. Grown both ways and wont be doing more organics runs
@@clamwokif you don’t know what you’re doing
Spot on ! I grow all my flowers and vegetables in organics . Took me awhile to hone it in, but when I finally got it 🎉🎉🎉. Beautiful fruits
I have an organic hobby farm. That’s how I started. But my inside grow room is all going to grow dots. It’s all about making it easier for me. Fuck cancer! Great show again Scotty!
Try apricot seeds too, vitamin b17 kills cancer
Sorry to hear that, I am glad Grow Dots are making growing easier for you!
Hey guys thank you for the explanation. I grow auto flower only (currently) I am a new grower with not much experience. however in my brief experience with Autos, its very difficult to correct a deficiency quickly with organics. In my current grow my girls developed a cal/mag deficiency in week 5 just prior to bloom. i used a synthetic supplement that worked amazingly well and quickly. i continued with the synthetics for bloom and flower and my girls look better than ever! So i would say that synthetics can be a life saver. Thanks again.
Love totally organic ,its fun and i feel closer to my plants ,
Organics get broken down into what synthetic nutrients are , the exact same molecules/minerals, synthetic is basically just pre digested plant food.. like humans we eat food and it’s broken down into the nutrients our body can absorb.. synthetic nutes are like multivitamins to humans , it’s easier to become overdosed with vitamins..organics have actually proven to be bad for the environment also! Because there’s a lot of left over phosphorus which gets dumped into the environment !
Synthethic not chelated, and also the molecules are attatched to salt molecules..
@@cosmicrealm1567 no
@@clamwok yes
Imagine surviving on vitamins 😂
@@callenroeder3784 il say it’s actually more like meal replacements drinks
Synganic. Start with well built soil and push a little more with a liquid feed. Then slow down feedings to allow to finish.
Have to remember the plant survives on the Worm casting whilst the dry ammendments are broken down by the microbes, and any deficiency can be fixed with worm casting whilst the 444 or 284 breaks down. It's not such a risky process like some people are led to believe.
True
I like a combination of the two. Seems to work well for me
The best of both worlds.
@@ScottyReal420 Absolutely. No matter if it is a Beginner or veteran there is something to learn from people in the community sharing their experiences. You are doing a great service to the home grow community. I hope you continue to share your knowledge with the world. Best wishes to you especially Scotty and the entire DGC team.
Excellent explanation, as usual. I'm an organic grower (currently). Here's a question maybe you'd be willing to tackle: It's been said that there's no need to flush with organic growing, supposedly because the plant somehow 'knows' it's time to stop taking up nutrients as it's going into senescence. Supposedly it's different with synthetics. This makes no logical sense to me.
When I grow organically and I DO flush, I measure the runoff after each flush cycle. The EC that I measure after the first flushing is higher than when I grew synthetically! The next flush has a lower EC, then lower, etc... EC meters only measure ionic compounds, not organic. SO I do not see the logic in concluding that organic growers don't need to flush.
Also: growers can't even agree on what flushing IS. Some folks think that just giving water for the last couple of weeks is flushing. When I use my toilet, I don't consider adding water as flushing. I consider flushing it as flushing. If liquid is not coming out the bottom of the pot, how can it be flushing? TH-cam grow channels often say that there's no difference between non-flushed organic-grown weed and flushed hydroponic weed. Again I say that these statement defy logic BECAUSE of what you say about the plants only being able to take up ionic salts.
I'm thinking of switching back to synthetic nutrients because I feel that the information about organic vs synthetics that is being fed to growers is in many cases deeply flawed and sometimes just downright false.
Scotty, would you be willing to address these apparent contradictions in a video? Or even here in the comments? Please forgive me if you already and have and I missed it.
Thanks bro.
P.S. Will we ever see Hi C, the man with all the questions? OR, maybe keeping him out of sight helps us viewers imagine ourselves as the questioner ;) I love the format :)
there's no need to flush with any grow
@@clamwok Really? Can you elaborate?
we just talked about Flushing on the Dude Grows Show th-cam.com/video/i4uZfAHmXXE/w-d-xo.html
@@ScottyReal420 Thanks for the link. Sorry to harp so much on this one topic but it's just one thing I can't seem to wrap my head around (yet).
Here's where I may be going wrong: my assumption is that soluble ionic salts in the soil will dissolve in any water applied, and therefore be taken up by the roots. I know that a plant in senescence takes up less water- therefore less solubilized nutrients. BUT, can the roots selectively take up water but NOT the available dissolved nutrients? This is the part I just can't seem to grasp.
I love growing cannabis. I grow it dwc synthetic. Coco coir synthetic. In homemade compost / coir mix with organics. Dry organic amendments, liquid organic amendments, both. I'll do "synth-organic" mixing them in the same grow. Love em all.
I legit use Recharge in everything except dwc, and it absolutely has a positive impact on the root zone every time.
I admittedly will only grow food with organics and that's not because I'm afraid of the synthetics I use but because I grow food to save money, and organic produce at the grocery store is always more expensive so the way I look at it, I might as well go for the top dollar stuff in my garden at a fraction of the cost. It's also much easier and cheaper to keep recycling soil using organic inputs.
You just love growing Cannabis and there is nothing wrong with that no matter which way you do it!
I bought something organic with the usual fish meal, chicken poo, alfalfa meal and kelp, and mycorhhiza. I'm trusting the source, but i think i found a winner. The plants are very happy.
I do both. Some plants have grow dots, some build a soil. My organic hindu kush auto is starting to flower. Using colodial silver to make more seeds as this was my last seed.
Hell Yeah, experimenting is fun!
Have tried both and both are beautiful in their own way. I challenge everyone to truly appreciate both
I like this challenge!
Scotty! I LOVE ORGANICS! 💚 iCan Organics + Recharge for the Win!! ⚡🌱 Dry amendments do need to be broken down by microbes in the soil but i gotta say Btw there are also liquid organic nutrients that will be absorbed quickly! Organic liquid fertilizers are derived from natural sources and are an excellent choice for organic gardening. They contain nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen that are immediately available to plants in my research! Hey, synganics is the best of both worlds too right!!
Well said
Coast of Maine Stonington blend dirt. Was made pacifaly for legal Cannabis growers in Maine. It's unbelievable how good this organic soil is
All you “Ewww salts” people really don’t take the time to do your own research the plant doesn’t know which is which, but I will say microbes and bio stimulants will make a difference and some of those things already come in organics which is the only difference I see
Salt fert builds up phosphorus into the runoff water and leads to large algae blooms in local lakes.
@@SolzhenitsynBoogiethis is why you run a zero to waste system when you grow in your closet
@@Asskicker41582 Nice advice, often not put into practice. Home weed growers pour a lot of nutrient into waste water.
@@SolzhenitsynBoogie easy to fix any responsible gardener would never allow runoff anyway its irresponsible and a waste of money. If someone is using liquid synthetic drain to waste outside then they gotta be morons
@@jeroid123 Bruh, lock out through fertilization and flushing is super common among home growers. We’re talking about pot heads here, many don’t give a shit about the environment land obviously there’s no oversight.
You’re trying to derive an ought from an is.
Home growers DO pollute the water with their excess nutrients.
The fact is that organically grown bud is simply better quality than synthetic, due to the higher level of secondary metabolites that are produced from the biotic stress caused by the breakdown of organic matter. This does not occur as much when using synthetic nutrients. Synthetic bud may look great because the grow environment was perfectly stable and thus produced high levels of primary metabolites - but the overall effect is comparatively weaker than organic because there are not enough secondary metabolites in the bud. Only a side by side smoke test will prove this point.
when do we start the test? i don't want to be late
Do you have an solid research on these Facts? I would love to take a look at it.
@@ScottyReal420no hard data other than the above noted smoke test. Just give orgánica a try, and you shall see - the proof is in the pudding!
You can fix nutrient deficiency with organic tea, which is very quick and effective. You dont have to have synthetics!
Foliar feeding is without doubt the best way to get that nutrient into the plant fast,often within a matter of hours.
Both produce awesome bud, it all comes down to the grower and how much time you spend with your plants.
On my third organic dry amendment run and I must say it's absurdly easier than any bottle line! I started on GH like most and went to nectar of the gods shortly after...it works terrific and I loved it, but the dry gaia green and dr earth products have made it straight tap watering only and results have been similar!
Over the past 30 years, I've tried a few things. In my honest opinion, you can't beat the taste of organically grown. But like anything, it has to be done right.
so true, I think any bud can be grown well if it is done right.
Grown using both 💪, i love the extra control i have using synthetics 🤙 but i much prefer the terps from organics, both have pros and cons so as long as you are happy with your own end result then other peoples opinions dont really matter, im currently growing using Remo nutrients which is a combination of both organic and synthetic.... Synganic i guess 😉 but i feel im getting the best of both worlds, that extra control over my grow but while still maintaining those organic terps 💪
Thanks. Went with organics. This video is like 3 weeks late for me : ) regards from germany
Congratulations on going legal!
Scotty, I use both and even mix components in the same pot. I use your Grow Dots in my “Super soil”, dry amendments in reused soil, and synthetic liquids in it all, depending on what works best. Outdoors in our gardens we go organic by amending and feeding throughout the year. EVERYTHING gets myco Recharge!!
💪
I m in the North East. Short grow season We plant memorial Day weekend. They grew 2 feet in 1 months from seed
I grew hydro for years I now grow organic and love it more. It’s all about soil building and I can still use synthetic if problems come up they don’t add to the microbial but they don’t take away either. You touch on all the answers have no fear and go for it!
Everyone should experiment, it is fun!
I've used Coast of Maine Stonington blend dirt for 2 years outdoors. You don't have to feed them for the 1st month soil is already charged
Scottys got a point. Very hard to replicate regenerative soil, indoors
From what I've seen on-line, the main problem people have growing isn't in how they grow, or the fertilizer regimens, it's in their environment using leds. You have to adjust your environment to run leds without seeing "deficiencies". Think about it, why would you have deficiencies if everything the plant needs is in the soil or irrigation.
I do both. Both work great.
Love build a soil, and this show. Synthetic nutes used in my grow.
Been growing 25 yrs i love both styles . Organics can be easy once u have a working plan . It also can be very frustrating at first or winging it . I will say the key to organics is learning how fast each element or component takes to breakdown. (AKA become available to the plant)
So true!
Organic smoke is smooth smoke. Synthetic nutes have to be flushed out and you never get it all.
I see no need to flush any type of grow.
Nutes are nutes. But Dots! Those damn Grow Dots! Chefs kiss
I have done both and love both. Currently running all living soil but plan on getting dwc buckets for mothers

Organic cannabis fosters biology that help terpene production. Many life forms increase terpene production of plants via their presence. Organic tends to be really easy for me to avoid mistakes because problems don’t arise as harshly. If you transplant before flower into fresh soil you won’t see any deficiency until Week 4 or 5 and it’ll show up in the form of a minor deficiency first. When deficiencies arise in Organic flower runs, Synganic becomes the best approach. But it’s best to aim for analog organic forms of chelation rather than use a synthetic bottle line. Calcium Phosphate is in GH and Drip Hydro and is more likely to lockout your plants and kill your effective microbiology in your soil. For Calcium, I use Calcium Silicate which chelates into Calcium Citrate and Silicic acid via Citric Acid application for pH. I use Epsom Salt for Magnesium which also chelates into Magnesium citrate and Sulfiric acid. I apply Sea 90 once per month for micros at 1 tsp per gallon. I use liquid Fish Hydrolysate/Rock Phosphate/Potash to address NPK issues as they’re all relatively water soluble and chelates with Citric acid. Recharge is also a great way to further chelate any remaining Calcium, Magnesium, Nitrogen, Phosphorous or Potassium in solution as it creates Nitrate forms through its Amino Acid content as well as Humic and Fulvic being great chelators.
And I’m not one to toot my own horn but my Synganic cannabis comes out looking as good and tasting better than synthetic grows with Coco.
I use bio bizz and have had good results but I use half the amount recommended after watching your vids thanks for saving me money 💰 👍
Synthetics is/was a pain. In my not so humble opinion, take better care of the living soil cycle and the better the plants(flowers) will be. Recycled soil, no-till, compost, teas and mulching is the way for me… Incredible tasting bud. No salt build-up from synthetics.(and worry of fertilizer burn), no ph testing… easy peasy… No need to buy plastic bottled nutrients from all the pot-casts!
Now I need to take my grow outdoors and I will be where I want to. ✌🏼🐸
Thanks for sharing
I grow outside with organic soil,, in the uk, takes from march till October for the plant to reach maturity and to crop,, don’t mind waiting for it’s natural development to occur, so one day four days is fine for me,, make my own tea, compost and worm castings in a bag, with RO water fish bio bizz concentrated fertiliser from Holland, and molasses with air pump and stone over 24 hours,, works a treat, epsom salts if needed, and making sure the PH is within the 6.00 - 7.00 limits, done this every year, pukka results. Love your videos,, always a pleasure to watch, 🙏🪴🇬🇧
Run a combo, I like both, it's situational for me, time, money, schedule, there's factors, not that much experience tho that I can totally say ones better than the other! Synthetics are convenient, some are better than others. .
When real organic farmers like my self say "organic" we mean organic. We make our own fertilizers (soil bacteria etc.). And results are way bigger, easier to grow, best flavor, minimum to no visible bugs on plants, and i can charge more for my product...but i dont. When i was growing marijuana in the 90s and i did all the best synthetic and when i flipped to organic it was night and fuken day difference and never looks back. Became a nutritionists a few years later and it all made sense, now im spiritual many many years later and i stand by organic with my life
The salts in synthetic are the thing people dont like? I think, however you can sustainably replenish inexpensively, go for it.
My first grow was synthetic and even though i flushed it it was too harsh to smoke. Went organic on grow 2, 3, 4. On grow 5 now. Natural sunlight compost tea, extracts from whatever weeds are in my yard. Never have any insect problems.
Check out Coast of Maine Stonington blend dirt. And there organic fertilizer made for that soil. It's amazing. Unbelievable how good it is
hea scotty luv the vidieos looking at your recharge and grow dots but i grow outdoor according to directions i need like 700 dollars worth ive got 14 boxes about 50 gals of soil each do i have to use so much
I've grown every way possible and found a combination of Organics and synthetics is the best. For example i used 2.5gal with happyfrog soil 10ml/Gal of Growdots(shoutout to scotty new formula is badass for photos) & 30ml/Gal of gaia green4/4/4 + 2/8/4 every 30 days with 3 weeks of tiny PK boost. Drip irrigation using crop steering technique hence the small 2-2.5g pots.
synthetics are needed even if you grow organic just in case you need a quick boost.
There are water soluble organic nutes. Micronized nutes. You guys forgot to mention, as fast as you can fix a deficiency is as fast as you can kill a plant too. Large volumes of soil provide a huge buffer. No plants are dying and getting deathly ill overnight. No-till living soil beds are king!! It all works, and im glad their are options. But a big bed of soil is magical.
I like your voice, that make it more interesting
Thank you!
I use "organic mixes" and Dr Earth's amendments. I started with Miracle Grow soil, once and only once. Since then I've mixed my own, and more recently Ocean Forest grew my best harvest yet, with Dr Earth's Flower Girl for the flower stage. I intend to keep growing that way too. The idea of mixing nutes from bottles and worrying about ppm and pH sounds like a lot more hassle than what I'm doing. But I don't judge anyone for how they grow. Recharge and Stash Blend are both awesome to use in organic mixes and I use one or the other once a week, alternating or a little bit of both. Stash Blend has some different stuff and I want the diversity.
Heavy metals are more likely in your synthetic pgr than in your organic grow folks that's just an fyi. It's a great move educate yourself in botany and horticulture before starting your grows. As long as you are diligent the organic grow is smoother tastier and healthier and will teach you about growing FOOD and not just buds. I'm organic all the way!
I don’t think a lot of you understand that “salt based” nutrients is just the organic material compressed, highly soluble liquid that will 100% give your buds even more terpy, potency and density. I promise you. I’ve tested and grown strictly organic for years. You can also feed “synthetic” nutrients in living soil without any actual problems. Hardly a difference in potency and flavor.
Thanks for sharing.
1 major issue people have when they step into organic growing. MORE soil!! Use as much as possible!! The more biology and more roots to work their magic, the more amazing your plants will be. Also, they express themselves differently.
when I used large living soil beds i have trouble keeping the humidity down.
@ScottyReal420 I use a dehumidifier in late flower.
Rule of thumb....nature does it right and perfect...never go against it...organics produce best quality
Mother Earth is both my political party and religion. Always have been and always will be an organic minded person. To each their own!! 🙏🏼 Just please be happy with what you do 😁 Thanks again for letting us into your thoughts. Good stuff.
Foop and Nectar work well.
nice!
I used to be organic oriented with growing. Now i use synthetic bottle nutes and I've tried grow dots recently. Probably never going back. Too much of a headache to create organic teas and composts.. plus they're stinky..
I brew Boogie Brew compost tea. Zero smell.
I never cared for the smell.
@@davidanderson8469 dropped a whole bottle of fish fert juice in my garage and it still smells 2 years later.
Great episode Scotty. I’ve used recharge for a long time. I recently stopped using it cause I don’t see the response in my plants like I used to when I first started using it. 🤷 I’d hate to think some things got changed in the recipe. Cheers bro.
Nothing has changed.
I’ve been growing organic for a little while now and I like it because it’s easy. But the only thing is your tent will smell like a dead animal lol and I’ve also noticed the plant start to get deficiency’s in between feedings so I use recharge to help break down the amendments. So far so good!
I also had issues keeping the humidity down with living soil.
@@ScottyReal420 yup, I deal with that lol everytime I water I get nervous lol. Definitely wanna try coco in the future with your Grow Dots. Thanks for the response man appreciate that 🙌
The nutrients that are uptaken are the same on the ionic form whether it’s organic or synthetic . Plants can only absorb nutrients in a specific ionic form .
I think new growers struggle with organic because there's not an exact feeding/ watering schedule it goes by feel. I agree build a soil has bridged that gap a little and is making it easier for new growers to have success with organics. For me its easy i dont trust big nutrient companies, so i dont use em.
As long as you can say I grew it with love and intentions I could care less what your style is!Im organic being it’s my personal medicine And it starts with sourcing your inputs.Heavy metals is getting worse as I use Humic and Fulvic Acids to help mitigate any heavy metal uptake.Much Love Scotty and the DGC
Hell Yeah, Thanks for sharing!
I mix recharge in my compost tea 😂
I tried the lotus fertilizer this time around last time I grew with fox farm fertilizer and I honestly have to say I'm gonna go back to fox farm fertilizer
Fed my ladies recharge 3 days ago and they're definitely WOKE now 😎. I prefer organics but i use a bit of synthetics too when i need a quick fix 👍
Excellent video Scotty - I don't know why this is so controversial. I guess people just don't comprehend the soil nutrient cycle. If someone is growing indoors(in a closet) organic, more than likely, won't yield you what a good synthetic system will produce.
I use grow dots and recharge. My plants are amazing.
That's great!
Tried organic it is hard you need a lot of experience it would take a while learning .Tried synthetic it was ok .Now l just use Alaskan fish liquid and cast works in veg and flowering l use big bud and other flowering nutrients
I've been synthetic for ever. But I'm slowly moving into organic
I like to do both in the same set
synganic!
I’m organic using pro mix with Gaia green. I’ve never had a deficiency ever ( knock on wood) ….I’ve burned quite a few seedlings though by using too hot soil to start a seed.
I just upgraded to a 4x8 and I’m trying my hand at synthetic nutes. I’m going with drip hydro for nutrients cuz they seem to keep it as easy as possible, and cheap!
I’m still gonna run half the tent organic. I’ll never give it up.
experimenting is fun and will make you a better grower.
My organics are fermentations with food scraps and weeds and a sugar source, brown sugar, cane sugar, and molasses. Cheapest way to grow, with gaia green and worm casting self made as well. Hey BTW just kuz are organic doesn't mean u can't also use mineral as well.
Time and place for all. Timing is extremely important
I live in Hawaii on the island of kauai and organic soil is abundant.... it's a jungle here on kauai
Hell Yeah!
i like that you named your product with names that say exactly what they do i dont want to have to think when buying shit high
So true.
I like a mix half organic half salt based,best results for ke in inert media
Use a good selection of microbes like bacillus and rhizhophagus irregularis when doing living soil or just in general bc mycorrhizal growth is beneficial regardless of medium, like Scotty said build a soils channel is very informative for organic growers.
Yes, he is a great source for Organic growing just like, Potentonics Steve
I use recharge right before I start to flip to flower …. My question is , is it ok to use with every water ?
I started out synthetic. And I switched to organic. My final product is less harsh. I can grow just as nice of plants as I did when I was growing synthetic. I will keep growing organic. Natures way.
I use recharge its a staple in my garden. I use my recharge when i grow wirh dr earth or my grow dots. Organic and salts works with both! Best product ive ever used for healthier plants in 48 hours
The nutrients side of things is the hardest part to get my head around 😅 somehow without planning anything beforehand ive managed to make healthy looking, pretty, frosty nugs with cheap ass compost and organic nutes but they are only a few centimeters wide and tall 😂 cant wait to start again and try out the grow dots
Hell Yeah, let us know how it goes!
Getting my recharge. What does Scotty Real suggest as best practices with recharge. I am redoing my corn bed. Using worm bed dirt and brown carbons from the yard compost. And recharge. Don't think I need any bio char as black soil now. I have some worm leachate to hit recharge with. Like a shoot of nos on a car. I also plant purple pole beans and squash. With some red clover that grows more red nodes that give bacteria a place to live and fix nitrogen. In my organic plan I am calling recharge inoculant. Is there a kind of wood recharge prefers better? I even tried using boiled rice to culture what was in soil by great growing spot and move it. I hate buying inputs and sprays. I am a cheap ask. Your welcome real growers. I needed more inoculant any way. Saved recite will write off on taxes too.
Best way to use recharge to to mix it in water and water it into your soil at least once a week. No other specials requirements are needed
I had to quit growing for a few years until it was safe for me to do so again. Back when i used to listen to this show he had so many guests on that were so knowledgeable, especially on things like soil and organic nutrients. There was a different cohost too. What happened to that guy? Anyway, now it seems like this show is just an infomeecial for real growers. To each his own, gotta make that dollar. But i do miss the knowledge i used to get for soil and organics.
We still do the Dude Grows Show this is a different channel.
One thing I found was Organics if I fuck up the plant still ends up okay with synthetics if I mess up might as well throw it away far as terps go in the end product
