can i mix organic and inorganic nutes?

I am currently into 2nd week of my god bud grow, I have 6 plants aprox. 6 inches inches high with 4 sets of leaves on them. They are all in 4inch pots filled with foxfarm light warrior. I've been feeding them with high nitrogen bat guano/ kelp extract every 3 to 4 days. I have augmented this feeding schedule with some inorganic hydroponic nutes all be it at a very diluted ratio. My question is this- will the inorganic nutes damage or mitigate the benefits of the organic fertz and microbes in the soil?

wow guys, no one answered this guy? No, you can not use the inorganic stuff on a perfect organic soil. It will destroy the soil food web. It will wreak a gross havoc with the salts and the direct release. Everything will be killed by the method of delivery. They wil shrivel up! lol. That is bad. If you do this you have to reincoulate your soil with microbes. Try a ncie compost tea. Make it strong.

Your plants will prob still grow. But in all runs, long and short, tings are not ok down their. They a regetting their NPK, but the prefered method will of bacteria and fungo and protozoans are dying and soon the plant will nned those salts. Cheap salts that will be build up and basically beat your plant into eating a souped up version of bread and water as opposed to caviear. My plants in all organic so far look awesome. The buds look natural and strong, not stressed out and fake like hydro. Like GH.
 
Ya that's what I thought. I had read that harsh inorganics and even hydrogen peroxide will kill off the microbes, but I asked a friend, who is a very experienced cannabis farmer and he said it would be fine. I wanted to give the plants a little boost since the organics are slow to show results. But now that I got confirmation I will discontinue the inorganics. I have re innoculated the soil with that great white mycorrhizae which I will reapply every 2 weeks as instructed. But I don't think my soil is as fucked up as u think. I will use my high nitrogen bat guano tea till flower time. So tea tree, I have a couple questions I hope u casn answer. First, when it comes time to flower, what kind of organic bloom fertz should I use? Is there any organic bud builder I should use? And second off, I'm having a strange problem with some other plant I have going, its a master kush plant that is about 5 weeks old. It was started outside in a peat pellet, then transfered to a peat cup filled with light warrior, after 2 weeks I transplanted it to a 4inch plastic pot filled with foxfarm light warrior and ocean forest mixed 50 50. After a week I noticed the older fan leaves begin to taco and brown. It kinda looked like mag diff, but I'm not convinced it is. The plant was some what root bound so I transplanted it to a large square container, probably 3 or 4 gallons. The fan leaves continued to decay, becoming brown and discolored and the tips pointing up. I can send u a pic if you think u can help. It seems to only be effecting the older fan leafs. Please let me know

Why would you use inorganic when you can use organic and get a better product in the end?

You friend must not be an organic grower?
