I went organic on my first grow, but I screwed it up by using miracle gro all purpose fertilizer during veg. Next time I’ll be using megacrop and maybe some Cal-Mag. I’ll keep myself stocked on bti and nematodes just in case too.
The 1 thing I’ve learned is organic soil definitely does most of the work for you.
Personally I can’t stand the taste of hydro weed, but that’s most likely as I’ve probably only gotten low quality hydro bud so far. I’m certain of it as I barely got any taste or smell off the bud. When I smoked it I never got the texts that they smell weed either. Overall my hydro experience has been disappointing at best and turned me away from it tbh. Organic bud in the other hand always has that smell I love in it.
I’m cursed with a ultra sensitive sense of taste and smell. I always taste things no one else seems to be able to notice. That and I can taste a mystery stew and tell you the ingredients used to make it with a 90% accuracy. If I know what something tastes like I can tell you if it’s in a dish. Including what pepper variety used depending on the heat profile I taste or even if a splash of vinegar went into a lobster pot sized stew batch.
