That's what I felt like before I went organic. The 1 constant was me. I knew I was messing up somewhere somehow. I watched a video about how synthetic nitrogen had a huge impact on terpenes. Basically it gets you bigger, can effect flavor. That what I had most of the time was large yeilds, but no taste or smell. 1st grow both plants smelled and tasted awesome! My 2 i just harvested smell good, and taste is coming with cure. I never got taste and flavor like this. I don't think it's that's by accident. You add that I only need to add water instead of mixing nutrients... sold! I make tea, but that's easy. I make it in the gallon containers I use, so I put a tbsp of GFP in half gallon of r/o. Add 2 tbsp molasses drop in a airstone and I'm done. Recharge I add half tsp of it into 1 gallon shake and ready. So that is not much work. Other than that every few day add a gallon of r/o to reservoir, and train. I hardly do much compared to before. That's cool with me. I will grow synthetics again. Once we go legal, and I can grow more I got a lot of synthetics left to use. I can use that for edibles if it doesn't taste good.I was watching "how to grow world record pumpkins". The man said that all the genetics are in this seed to make a 2500 lb pumpkin. All we have to do is "stay out of the way". Let nature do 99% of the work. I think I've been getting in the way.
