starting with fertilizer ending organic/GOOD OR BAD IDEA

I am using fertilizer at the momemnt but while b switching to organic once my flowering process starts.P.S. OUTDOORS

Organics is about biology. It's also the cornerstone to plant growth outdoors, unimpeded by man. Synthetic\chemical plant foods, and methods that disregard the soil food web now are not going to help it later, either.

Nope... You start with chems, finish with chems... switching up mid grow going from synthetic/chems to organics isnt a good idea... it can be done going from organic to chem obviously pretty easily seeing thats how your doing chem for the most part anyhow, the soil being organic is just a medium.... the organics of the soil are pretty much benign.... the chems and salts just kill off the micro life and its no longer about feeding the soil but feeding the plant where the PH and TDS levels and salt build up and flushing and all that fun shit comes in... Go for the just add water type organic grows in the future, much easier in the long run as well as a better end product, you may yield a little more with synthetics, but if you can get halfway familiar with how organic growing works, your yields will be fine on along with top shelf shit. not that synths cant do a good med, but organic is definitely better I think... so far anyhow... I think at some point in the future I may try a little side grow with some botanicare or something to see if it comes out any better than it used to and to see how it compares to my recent organic meds.

It can be done, but isn't advisable for two reasons. First, the salts in traditional ferts kill organics. Second, the organic colonies take a while to build up and the period between veg and bloom is a high growth time period. I believe your plants would have massive nutrient deficiencies if you tried to make the switch at this point.

I highly recommend making the switch away from chemical fertilizers, though. They are a prime cause of soil desertification and the nitrification of our waterways. Plus, the purchase of synthetic nutrients lines the pockets of companies like Monsanto, Bayer, and DOW. Monsanto is pure evil, and is trying to bully our American farmers into virtual surfs. Bayer and DOW aren't much better. These three companies are also currently lobbying to keep the public from knowing what GMOs are in the food we purchase and what they are feeding the animals that produce our food. Thus far, they have gotten their way. The more I find out about their tactics, the more angry I get. Thru organic methods such as Korean Natural Farming, I can make sure that none of my money goes their way....whether it was the raw materials or the final product purchased.
