@Budbrother I’ve been waiting for you to ask me if I am just naturally dim or was I dropped repeatedly as a small child.

Honestly, I don’t think the plant really cares where its food comes from as long as it’s getting what it needs. Once nutrients break down, they’re all the same to the roots anyway. Plants dropped in nature don’t get a lot of help but sill produce. It’s funny because once people see it click, like when they switch from bottled salts to a living soil and notice how the plant just balances itself. They realize it’s not some mystical voodoo. It’s just biology doing what it’s always done, we just stopped getting in the way.
The main difference is what’s going on in the soil. Organic grows have all that life, microbes, fungi, etc., doing their thing and sometimes that can bring out a little more flavor or aroma. Salt grows are more about precision and usually push bigger yields because the plant gets everything right away, but they don’t foster the same biological complexity.
The BaS program produces weight but at the cost of quality. Chelated organic nutrition that acts like salts. The qualitative difference is perceptible via potency and terp percentage. Visually it’s good looking buds and most people wouldn’t care to notice the nuance.

It’s rude to ask, and with the lack of child safety we grew up with, I just assume it’s a fact to save time 
One day I’ll admit it to my oldest. Well you see it was the end of the two week wait after birth and we were horny and left you in the middle of the table in your car seat kickin and screamin…I didn’t even get to finish damn you!

Happy farming all you crazy farmers.

Dagnabit I should’ve known quality & quantity don’t mesh together. I am working with limited space, my biggest tent of 4 only 1m X 1m X 2m, next size down is 0.8m X 0.8m X 1.8m. I hope I can get back to my organic attempts again

Peat ? I thought it was coco and perlite ? I use a mix that is peat based and have good success with it after mixing it 1/3 with perlite. Whats the matter with the plants? I thought they looked fine. I guess I’m being dim, yeet again . lol

You’re sooo not dim!
I’ve been growing in a ready made organic peat based potting mix since I started. It came with perlite vermiculite worm castings dolomite lime and came pretreated with neem oil. I’ve always ended up nutrient burning them etc
I’ve got two of my mothers in it still, my four flowering plants & the clones have a small amount of the peat mix that clung to the root hall upon transplant into coco perlite. Now I’ve also got 2 sprouts in coco perlite and two seeds trying to sprout 
I’ll try out this new medium and method, I may have my peat mother flower with three of her clones, keeping a clone as mother. I’m not sure what to do with my other mother, she’s a transplant shock dwarf that’s leaves have only just started growing normal again

Yep, I’ve been running white rhino clones. The one other seed I cracked was a terrible larfy asf at 10wks flowering after taking 3 weeks to show hedgehogs. I trashed them they were as bad as you can get.
I hope the two seeds I got this week are good

My best advice is to give them some time and care. Usually a couple weeks will help to separate out the winners . You just have to be patient. They will make up your mind for you , usually. The peat based soil you describe sounds very much like the pro-mix I’ve been using for several years now. I’ve found it works great. Coco is awfully expensive when you use a couple pallets. I’m trimming Blackberry Moonrocks for a couple days now. Its very good smoke and well worth all the work I’ve put into it.

My 40L bag usually costs $40 + transport $20. The coco was $23 for 50L + transport. I bought 5L perlite at the local for $12 and then discovered I could get 10L for that price delivered. Across 4 small tents I don’t need heaps when 5gal is my largest and 4 plants is my max at that size
