Organic Vs. Synthetic Nutrients

[skywalker707]

Here you go cheese.. again more pinene in organic, and more caryophyllene in hydro.

Here you go Trainwreck again more pinene in organic, and more caryophyllene in synthetic.. Its pretty much a pattern after three examples.. and what smell is caryophyllene? The dieselly pepper smell.. That you can find in most og kush strains, chemdawg, sour diesel.. and if you follow limonene, carophyllene and myrcene these three concretely they make the back bone of terpenes of most modern heavy hitter, best strains nowadays.. and by some ridicolous coincidence, seed junky genetics grow with synthetics.. capulator the creator of mac with synthetics.. cannabiotix mix synthetics with organics.. berner from cookies also grow with synthetics.. How come the dominant strains of today which have the best taste arguably, and effect all were grown and developed with synthetics? And the very terpenes making some of the best tasting strains of today are limonene, carrophyllene and myrcene can also be clearly seen more developed with synthetics? What if the terpenes that organics develop better are more old school strains like landraces, and the like of blueberry, amnesia, northern lights, strawberry cough, grandaddy purple? I just believe certain strains are grown better organically and others synthetically.. and develop the very terpenes which make their names better with one or the other method by default thanks to the adaption from the breeder.. I don't think you can grow more tasty wedding cake than seed junky genetics if you grow it organically vs them synthetically.. Neither you can grow better tasting blueberry synthetically when you grow it organically..

Don't insult each other while discussing guys. Keep the name calling and digs out of it. Thanks!

It's possible that what you are describing has to do with selection by the breeder based on the expression of pheno types when grown with synthetic nutrients vs organic. It sounds like(and correct me if I'm wrong) what you are positting is that when strains are bred by breeders who were using organic growing methods the resulting seed sock produces higher potency better tasting buds when they grown using organic inputs and vise versa regarding seeds produced by breeders who use synthetics.
If a strain expresses different pheno types when grown using synthetic fertilizers(or vise versa) and the breeder selects towards a pheno type that occurs while using synthetics then it seems reasonable that if someone buys that strain that person might not get a plant with the same expression/pheno type that the breeder bred towards if they grow it using organics.

Not to contradict you, just having fun theorizing why what you claim could be true.

I am saying if breeders who grow and created strains like wedding cake, girl scout cookies, permanent marker, ect. ect.. did it with synthetics and got famous all over the industry with these strains and i repeat did it perfectly with synthetics. Then these strains do better with synthetics.. In flavour, taste, potency.. Organic growers won't be able to reproduce the terpenes that made these very strains famous with organics.. As i clearly shown you limonene, myrcene and caryophyllene are higher in synthetic grows than organics grows with the same strain grown from clones.. Thats why strains that got famous because of these terpenes will in general perform better with synthetic nutes than organic nutes.. On the other hand organics increase more different terpenes.. The strains that become famous thanks to these terpenes in organic type of grows, created by breeders widely known to grow organically like DJ Short, Soma, Bodhi, Humboldt Seed Company, Gage Green Group, Mandala will perform better in organic grow. What is so hard to understand here? I already repeated the same thing 5 times and you still don't get it..

Every strain does better if you feed it fertilizer .Every strain does better if the roots are exposed to oxygen with mediums like coco, hydroton, perlite.
Every strain does better in hydro, tests cleaner with out the heavy metals that occur in soil. Faster growth and more oil production.
Hydro is just water, air and nutrients.
When you grow in mud you have a ton of unknowns .

Alright, let me get this straight... Are you guys saying that ANY/EVERY synthetic line will get you the results you are talking about?

So… General Hydro, Botanicare, Fox Farm, Jacks, Maxigro, Dynagro ,Veg/Bloom, Cutting Edge, NPK, Dutch Pro, Flora Flex, Athena Ag, Canna, House & Garden, RX Green, Current Culture, Emerald Harvest, Heavy-16, Rock Nutrients, Advanced Nutrients, Cyco, Mills pays the bills and Miracle Grow will all give you the same results?? Same cannabinoids?? Same terpene profiles?? Same Flavors?? From the same plant??

I’m probably missing more than half of the popular options.

How long have you guys been growing again??

This should be good.

And another thing, I would love to hear anyone of you synthetic guys describe what your idea of organic growing is.

So far, Observe & Report was the only one who seemed to have some idea of different organic methods, though he missed the most import which is organic No-Till gardening.

So what are we talking about when talking organic growing? So far I’ve heard growing in the dirt or the mud, lack of oxygen, more heavy metals… but what way of gardening are we talking about?

Are we talking about digging a hole in your backyard and using hose water? Are we talking coco with organic bottle feed? Store bought potting mix? Are we talking built soils made from peat, compost, pumice and amendments? Are we talking in an organic garden bed of real earth soil? Define organic growing, because I hear a lot of organics doesn’t do this or can’t do that, which is comically incorrect. But…

What standard are we using? because these methods mentioned above do not give the same results and are not equivalent.

If you can provide a living medium with healthy microbes and bacteria for your plants roots, worm teas, molasses, Epsom Salts will all work well. They'll keep the microbes fed and the microbes make the natural nutrients in the medium more accessible to the plant. To keep it organic as possible, I would avoid any nutrients that would kill off the microbes. Granted this probably isn't "full organic" but if I am doing this for me, it's as organic as I get. Grow in whatever way you desire.

I think most of the people my age (66) or older, aren't that impressed with the cup-winning, commercially-popular strains of today. I WANTED to believe that once weed became legal, too, because then we would have easy-access to all the favorite varieties of weed that we used to have to wait around in some rainy parking lot for "the guy" to show up with. It seems pretty obvious that that's what SHOULD have happened. But, in fact, I went all over town to all the dispensaries and rec stores, for years after, looking for anything that came close to what "the guy" used to have for sale....never found it. And several times, when I thought
I might have gotten something kinda good, a friend would show up with a joint of some weed that he'd been getting from his "the guy" forever, and it would just blow my commercial weed completely away! So, from my experience, the only thing that got better, was the trimming and overall "cleanliness" of the bud-presentation, but not the quality or taste of the actual smoke.

I stick to my guns on the genetics being the real deal breaker when it comes to whether or not the smoke will be good or not. Nutrients -regardless of how they are produced, can make the plants grow optimally....but they can't turn hemp into marijuana! And now, breeders have mucked up the game even more with all the ridiculous auto flower junk! They're always working on the wrong things when they SHOULD be getting back to focusing on the taste and vibe, instead. I don't need my weed to grow in a more convenient way! lol! I need stronger flavors and beautiful feels!
It's all about the genetic starting material. As long as a grower can provide a decent environment for the plants, then the plants will do the best that they are genetically-capable of doing. I've smoked weed that looked like the grower kicked the shit out of the plants and basically said "fuck it!" as far as providing great growing conditions....and yet the smoke was great, in spite of it all, because of its genetics. I've also smoked absolutely perfectly grown/cured weed that smoked like bunk -again, because of its genetics.
