    My 1/2 cent I’m on my 4th organic grow each one has been better than the last planning to give out doors a shot this spring I’m thinking my limited experience with organic growing will serve me better ? Great show lots to think about .



  2. Eden's Garden House Seed Company on October 16, 2022 at 8:01 pm

    She says maybe people dont want to learn growing when they want to grow LOL what ? so whats the use of growing if your not gonna be into it ? That dont make any cense …. lol Thats how a bunch of crappy weed gets around lol Leave the growing to the Pro’s like Me and the rest can go buy dry dispo weed ..Btw do you all grow outside at all? or do you all grow just in tents?



  3. chris white on October 16, 2022 at 8:03 pm

    I use organic. I use happy frog soil as its not as hot as ocean forest and I use Gaia green all purpose and max bloom organic nutrients. My autos get big and some big azz buds!. Will produce an easy half pound for sure depending on strain and genetics.



  4. Will Baker on October 16, 2022 at 8:03 pm

    I do a little bit of both synganics



  5. CLAN 501 - SCOTLAND on October 16, 2022 at 8:03 pm

    I only smoke organic weed but after it I eat a load of synthetic sh1t 😂 Such a hypocrite.



  6. John Griggs Jr. on October 16, 2022 at 8:07 pm

    Do you have to feed more often with synthetic? You can load a bucket with over a months nutrition.

    Currently using foxfarm synthetic trio that has 1 organic with it. I plan on going with a better more suitable brand later but will stick with synthetics. it’s more affordable in some cases for me. And synthetics are easier on my body regarding labor. But if an organic is affordable and physically doable for me I will. Like with the foxfarm, I use the organic bottle to aid in microbial health since it has seaweed and other things in it. Honestly I guess I’m more so team liquid nutrients. Soil amendments or powder fertilizer for top dressing is too much for my body. If I could find an affordable organic liquid nutrient system I’d love to run it side by side with foxfarms and see what does best. I’ve gotten a lot a hostility for using foxfarms and synthetic nutrients. I don’t mind I just wish some people realized others have to make the choice based on what their body will allow them to do and not what they would prefer to do…



  9. Stevens Bad advice on October 16, 2022 at 8:09 pm

    I’ve been organic grower for a while but after seeing the results from brands like flora flex and Athena , I’m really thinking of making the switch to simplify the process. Great info, cheers.



  10. jerazikp on October 16, 2022 at 8:12 pm

    I think the best test would be from a mother and using similar clones then using synthetic vs organic. Seeds have too many variables. Never the same pheno. Imo.



  11. John Griggs Jr. on October 16, 2022 at 8:12 pm

    Try kelp fertilizer. It’s organic and immediately available to the plant. Mr Canucks Grows I think has went as simple as Coco, Worm castings, kelp, and mycelium which helps break organics down and they also feed the plant for simple sugars.



  12. Iron indica on October 16, 2022 at 8:12 pm

    Started growing with organic and it’s been a full on learning curve and kinda just want to get through one grow smooth so I’ve decided to go synthetic for my next grow.



  13. Bearded Irish 420 on October 16, 2022 at 8:13 pm

    Organic and Photos = Easy mode! IMO



  14. optonaut on October 16, 2022 at 8:14 pm

    Good video, thanks for the effort and the insight! I go the organic route, but set up the challenge, to NOT BUY any stuff – except a 6 liter bucket of blackstrap molasses. I now work with stuff my kitchen gives, like coffee grounds, banana peels, egg shells etc. it works like a charm! pH to high? use lemon juice. need a bloom fertilizer? molasses, coffee and banana – youre done. (growing in soil here). the whole fertilizer industry wants to earn – but not with me anymore 😉



  15. Charles Dziedziech on October 16, 2022 at 8:19 pm

    Id like the video but its at 420 likes…



  16. Shane Fowkes on October 16, 2022 at 8:19 pm

    Guys as I’m learning too, iv found less is more, but when it comes to organics there’s nothing better, I don’t use LEDs or artificial lights, and from what iv seen so far I think I could learn a lot more but I’m trying to keep as basic as I can get any ideas ??



  17. Chris Evans on October 16, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    I love the channel but is it me or does this guy blink alot 🤔. Grows must be decent lol ….ps. OH…..



  18. Adam Knole on October 16, 2022 at 8:20 pm

    Very good luck with Nectar for the gods. I use the whole line with one shot.



  19. Dill Dozar on October 16, 2022 at 8:22 pm

    The only problem with synthetics are the products hiding PGR (plant growth regulators) in there. Yea that’s found in some organic fertz as well but it’s much more common in synths. If you pick clean synthetic it’s totally safe and not going to harm your body unless you’re absorbing them through the skin by mishandling them. It’s just that simple



  20. Craig Dawson on October 16, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    I find the cost is low in soil if you have a worm farm and ferment seaweed. Just spruce up the soil and your good go again



  21. Recharge on October 16, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    I’m 100% organic, but I’ve considered using synthetic



  22. tucky_beans on October 16, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    I grow organically only bc it keeps me more involved with my plants. I’m against neither though



  23. Arnold Garcia on October 16, 2022 at 8:26 pm

    i grow with both💪🏽



  24. Figure it out and fix it! on October 16, 2022 at 8:26 pm

    Great video guys! I currently use a sen-ganic line called TPS total plant science. It’s like 93% organic. If I’m not mistaken they use chemical extraction from organic compounds. Lol great results so far I’m 2 weeks into flower and these are by far the largest plants I’ve ever had with the most branching and the bud sites are so close together I’m sure to have massive colas come harvest



  25. Ronan * on October 16, 2022 at 8:27 pm

    to me….outdoor….I’m old school….Miracle Grow in veg….Flower Fuel during buds…..outdoor plants grow so big…mine get topped twice….and outside branches get pulled down….forming what i call the ring of fire….not going for record growth….I dont need a pound plus per plant….all i need is enough to get me to next harvest…I can literally drive like 20 miles and buy whatever i want….but growing is a lifestyle…420



  26. Post-Rock Society on October 16, 2022 at 8:28 pm

    Organic all the way, like you guys said organic will make you a better grower since the learnig curve is more steep. And the flavours are better too.



  27. Tom Mander on October 16, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    I been using organic liquids seem good



  28. Don Pancake on October 16, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    Im having good luck with soilless Pro-mix and dyna-go complete liquid fertilizers. Also no pests in the tent anymore….besides my cat!!!!



  29. Super Squintz on October 16, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    So I personally grow organic because it’s what I know. Not knocking synthetic until people start using PGR. That I’m not fond of. Also, I was iffy on how the auto hoodies would look, I’m sold now!



  30. Danny Mack on October 16, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    Organic all the way. It’s a no-brainer. 😁👍🏻🤘🏻



  31. Eden's Garden House Seed Company on October 16, 2022 at 8:34 pm

    Thats a simple answer is Organic is the only way to go!!! 2 year old cow and chicken poop is the best no need to add microbes they are in there ,admendments? lol no need to add any crap like that… Do me a favor and look up the meaning of Organic ,its a natural compost no need to add anything!!!!! Smh



  32. Eden's Garden House Seed Company on October 16, 2022 at 8:34 pm

    Chems = bad no good for body or mind …Organics is easy natural like God intended ! Ive been a grower for 42 years forever organics! If you think organics is a lot of work lol smh buy the way mollases is not organic ! I dont think you 2 know what true organics is Compost is true organics lol same with cow and other poop AFTER composting for at least one year all microb’s ,etc. will all be in there.Do more research on organics I dont think you truly understand it fully … all chem ferts are toxic!! Organic is not!!!



  33. Carlos Blanco Rodriguez on October 16, 2022 at 8:36 pm

    ORGANICO PARA PERSONAL,LLA KE TODO ESTA MUCHO MAS👌,KIMICO PARA MY NOO ,SÍ PARA PRODU DE EXTRACTOS



  34. Tim Carlson on October 16, 2022 at 8:39 pm

    I’m on team organic just because I feel it is better for the environment. I don’t hate on anyone for the grow style they choose. I think organics is a little easier for beginners just because I think there’s less to screw up and even if do make a few mistakes you should still get something for your trouble in the end. With synthetic its easier to burn your plants or end up with lockout issues. Just my opinions. There are as many ways to grow as there are people who do it so there is no one right way. I agree its fun to experiment and try new things too. There will never be a point where you know everything so just focus on getting better every grow. As long as you learn from your mistakes I call that success.



  35. Redtail barracudas Yellowtail barracudas on October 16, 2022 at 8:41 pm

    NEVER" CAN SYNTHETIC EVER TOUCH ORGANIC U CANT COMPARE THEM ….! ORGANIC IS IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN… SYNTHETIC WEED TASTE LIKE PURE SHITT" EVEN FLUSHED OUT PROPERLY… AND THE HIGH IS MUCH WEAK"ER THAN ORGANIC..! I, DID SYNTHETIC IT’S A B.S. GROW WITH WAY MORE DEFICIENCIES THAN ORGANIC NO MATTER THE NUTES… THAT, SYNTHETIC SHITT NOT ONLY GONNA FUCK UR GROW UP WITH DEFICIENCIES BUT YOUR BODY TO IN THE LONG RUN….💯 KEEP IT ORGANIC"…! KEEP IT REAL"…! KEEP IT" LITT"…..👍💯💯



  36. Brian Tye on October 16, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    Hey kids lol I grow a hundred percent organic I follow an old friend’s recipe that he developed over a lifetime of growing all over the United States including Alaska. Before he passed he left me his grow book which is absolutely fantastic but Rick wasn’t a scientist meaning no measurements no precise information it’s more of an outline. The first couple runs were tricky but I got through them. I now study knf and I enjoy making all the solutions myself I’m retired now so I have a lot of time to invest into this. The results are getting better every run I don’t really run into deficiencies anymore because I stay on top of the top dresses. I think that was the main thing he had always said to tap dress every 4 weeks but by doing that I was running out of nutrients and was starting to develop deficiencies so now I top dress at 3 weeks and that gives the material time to break down before it’s absolutely needed. I love you series keep up the good work



  37. Ricky grows 420 on October 16, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    I use terrpinater it made an dramatic change for me



  38. BlackDiamond on October 16, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    This is my first grow with floraflex and I am killin it. Easy to use. I haven’t ph once this grow. Starting week 6 of flower. Plants are perfect



  39. cj Sawyer on October 16, 2022 at 8:44 pm

    Love watching yall! If you are running into mold or fungus, use ground cinnamon it’s a natural fungicide Cinnamon is a root accelerant and can repair broken stems of branches and kills all mites and thrips. Trying to share some info for all of us to get better. Hope it helps!



  40. Bearded Irish 420 on October 16, 2022 at 8:45 pm

    I run earth dust in a coco/ocean forest/perlite blend. All I do is water my plants. One top dress in veg, one maybe two in flower every 4 weeks or so. Molasses every 3rd watering. Recharge used if I let them go too long without water by accident. Since doing this, have had ZERO issues. Plants couldn’t be happier! 😎



  41. 805_S2K on October 16, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    I grow organic with dry amendments outdoors, but tried liquid organic nutes by FOOP for my indoor grow and its been growing great. Also prefer organic because I grow in living soil and the plant will take up the nutes it needs whenever it needs it. No excess feeds or rather potential mishaps compare to feeding with synthetics where you have the potential to run into an abundance of one nutrient or mineral and cause toxicity. I’m not against synthetic because you can often times get better yields that way but in my experience organic has given me better quality harvest and it also puts my mind at ease knowing what’s going into my soil/plant/body. With organic I also like the nature aspect of it all witch is one of the reasons why I mainly grow outdoors.



  42. SureFire Mushrooms & Microgreens on October 16, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    Glad to see so many people growing these days!! My opinion is like an asshole everyone has one so take it with a grain of salt ;). I grow indoors and I can list off so many reasons why you don’t bring soil into your home, I’ve been at the game for 20 years and in my own experience synthetics has kept my indoor growing clean as a whistle. No thrips, no spider mites, no mess, or pest control, no powdery mildew, no bud rot from a uncontrollable environment. Now when it comes to growing outdoors, I grow all organic farming, I have grown indeterminate tomatoe varieties and pepper varieties and I’ve had 15’ plus plants just like in a commercial green house, I prune them correctly even done the drop and lean on my cucumber plants growing on 20’ cattle panel trellises, egg shell, blood n bone, I have 8 ducks that provide me with fertilizer, I have used black cow for tomato but you have to watch what you bring into a garden because your bagged soil has all kinds of pests already in it from the processing factory. I feel synthetic is great for indoor and commercial greenhouse setups to where soil is best for our door applications. Plus a lot of stuff I grow outside like zucchini, squash, melons, and pumpkins I couldn’t fit but one plant per room they just grow to big for indoors, my mushrooms I grow in the basement and the species I have are hardwood loving, the microgreens are all synthetic I have lettuce tables inside because you get a cleaner product just like mushrooms. I’m just happy to see people growing there own stuff period, we give to much power to corporations that we are in this America we live today with a president like we have because we love to give up power to unions so they can run the show, I miss America producing its own food. We gave Walmart so much business they are now involved with national security 😂 you should worry about corporate entities like that! Thanks again for the video!



  43. Dustin on October 16, 2022 at 8:48 pm

    Do u have a video on the teas u make ?



  44. Happy Hort Farms on October 16, 2022 at 8:49 pm

    I grow indoor so I don’t really care about the environment in that aspect. I grow synthetic with organic inputs throughout the grow (tea, molasses, fish shit) and I’ve noticed a difference. It just takes too long to grow for me organically. I use athena right now, I may switch over to organics alive due to the ease of grow and I’ll be running it in coco. My athena buds look great but organic gown buds are stick af.



  45. Kathleen Block on October 16, 2022 at 8:49 pm

    Hi



  46. Kiyomi Heinrich on October 16, 2022 at 8:52 pm

    REALLY?



  47. Oriental Magi The art of NinKu on October 16, 2022 at 8:54 pm

    I am starting to try synthetic nutrients at a very low dose. So I stop in and look at your videos because it seems like everyone is stuck on the organics.
    I figured out what it was that I was sensing and it was her name is heaven and I did not know that before.
    I have not watched your videos this whole time out of respect. I have a lot of psychic phenomenon in my life I did not know her name but I could sense that there was something that I liked about her and it is because your name is heaven I think that that is a beautiful name.



  48. sunnohh on October 16, 2022 at 8:55 pm

    I used to run organics until I learned how hard it was to pass metals testing, also flavor is surprisingly much better with synthetic



  49. sean brooks on October 16, 2022 at 8:57 pm

    first time grower in dwc, Im using synthetic, but been looking into doing a coco organic run, but wanna get a grow under my belt 1st, an learn the basics, before expanding, but great show guys, and ive picked up alot of tips, off you guys, so keep up what your doing, great stuff



  50. Charles Fletcher on October 16, 2022 at 8:57 pm

    By far organics. To me synthetics even after flushing leave either a metallic or salty taste to weed
