I can’t afford his electronics but he sure knows his shit.

He’s the smartest guy that you bring on to your show synthetics get right to the point

Thank you Dr. Bugbee, always a wealth of information. The healthiest roots I've ever grown came from cutting back on synthetics to half dose and adding small doses of Unsulphered Black Strap Molasses, only a teaspoon every second week in flower. Of course you don't know that it worked until that Lady is chopped and you can inspect the root zone but it worked for me because those buds were dense and dank.

This is why I run synganic (salts only as a supplement in veg usually) and organic compost tea blends for seed to flower chop, for the microbes & terps.

[DarkMike]

Still blows my mind this guy works for NASA and grows dank 😂 how much cooler can you get 😂😂😂

[rumba]

Synthetic nutes, microbes, and mycorrhizae had mushrooms growing out of my fabric pots 🤷 they absolutely do NOT kill the microbes

[TomaccoRoad]

Elements and minerals are elements and minerals in organic or isolated "synthetic" form.

[Muziq]

This is very reassuring because I really want to experiment with microdosing this Beastie Bloomz into my otherwise organic line up. I just don't have the heart to throw it away.

[saltytree]

It’s not about killing, it’s about use. Plants use microbes and work symbiotically, the microbes move away.

[camz]

Reminds me of the difference between living and living well.

[jrok]

so we learned that recharge is to be avoided in coco and when using synthetic ferts!

[Weedandwatches]

Short answer no
Long answer
Organic carbon is what we are seeking
So…..

It's all wonderful, but if you still care about the planet, use organic fertilizers, not synthetics.
