Agreed. I've always used synthetic, and with great results. Probably always will, I've got 20lbs of this megacrop from Green Leaf Nutrients, it's one part deal it's powder and granules. You only use like 3/4tsp per gallon in veg and 1 and 1/4 for flower. It does pretty good too. I'll probably use it up against the fox farm my next grow. But I'm still going to give the organic a go, and from everything I read I'll probably like it, and continue to use it. I like every aspect of it, ecspecially the ease of it once you get going with everything dialed in. This kelp, humic acid, thing is just something I picked up along the way and I figured I'd try it. That's why I say it's a learning curve because I'm new to it myself other than what is in the nutrients I already use. With this hobby it's so easy to get sucked in to buying things and trying things out, so on and so forth. Which is great I don't knock it at all. If it works then more power. Super thrive for example a I've only not used it in the 6 plus years since I've been growing one year maybe, and that was the first when I was using miracle grow lol Did some indoors with CFLs then too, one plant at a time type stuff. But then I started to buy better Nutrients, a step above miracle grow and good stuff in my opinion jacks classic it's Peters now, then super thrive, and eventually fox farm, which I like and enjoy. Back to the super thrive,I've never done a comparison grow with it, just think it works and I keep a bottle it's not expensive, goes a long way. It's just something that's stuck with me. Lol I've been taking things a lot more serious the last 3 and a half years, because now it's turned into something else, a passion. I love it, it's good medicine, not just using it, but growing it alone is therapeutic in its own way. Using synthetics, for me personally, I feel like I'm always chasing something, trying to improve overall. When there's hundreds, if not a thousand or more products out there to be bought it's easy to get caught up in.
Cannabis is like a woman (no offense to women) but it's delicate and complicated at times, can be a real bitch when she's not getting what she wants, and you just don't know how to approach her lol But in reality, it's really simple to make her happy. Just listen and give her what she needs when she needs it. With organics it's like she's a Queen she has everything she needs, every now and then give her a good bubble bath (tea) lol

That's my take on it. I'm ramble on a bit, I apologise. I wasn't expecting to type this much if my thoughts would have been in order I could have made it less ramble esque. Lol Serious though it's not hard. You ever heard of Mandala Seeds? Check them out if not, their whole philosophy is less is more and organics. I think they're right.

I hope I'm on the right track with this grow though, if this doesn't work I may be stumped honestly lol The Cal/mag I'm using is from the same company I got the kelp and humic acid, npk industries. Their stuff is pretty concentrated, hopefully it does the trick. Looking at getting some stand alone magnesium also. I'll get some pics up after work.
