Organic Grow |
The advantages of growing organically is that you know exactly what nutrients your plants are grown with and what is in them. By growing organically you control how your plants will thrive and produce the quality buds and or fruits that you want. You just have to know how to put the nutrients together and which ones are good for your grow. Plants are just like we are, they thrive on the same nutrients that we do. Nutrients like fish... Fish meal is a great nutrient to feed to your plant with. Bone meal is high in nitrogen and phosphorus, poultry, use egg shells to make the calcium that your plant needs to thrive. Phosphorus, potassium, manganese, magnesium, zinc, iron among various other vitamins and minerals.
The nutrients mentioned above are just a few nutrient sources that plants need to thrive. Our bodies need many of the same nutrients that plants do. Oats-contain vitamins and minerals such as iron, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, copper, zinc and root growth hormones, and excellent to use as a dry amendment for plants. So what i'm saying is that we all try to nourish our bodies as best we can and with the most nutritious products that we can afford, and we should do the exact same thing for the plants that we consume. |
Chemical Grow |
There are numerous companies that offer nutrients that have high percentages of chemicals to get your grow going fast and easy. But is it fast and easy? An inexperienced grower can easily damage their plants using too many chemicals. There are many different companies that offer chemical and organic based nutrients for every stage of the growing period. If you choose to go this route, it is your choice, and you can achieve great results using chemical based nutrients for your plant, and there are many different types chemicals used in growing vegetables and cannabis today.
If you do decide to use chemical nutrients then be warned that it can get expensive in the long run, but if you use organic nutrients you will not have this problem. In general there are many different types of chemiclas in the cannabis that most of us consume to keep us coming back to buy more of these chemical bombs, because we are chemical junkies without knowing it. Artificial cannabinoids from China called JWH or AB-Chminaca is what it is all about. Growers take low grade cannabis with low grade THC and CBD content and spray the plants with these chemicals which are designed to make you dependent on the chemicals which have nothing to do with quality cannabis. And for this reason it is important that your grow is organically and naturally grown as possible. Below is a list of only a few of the amendments that one can use to grow veggies and cannabis.
