When I started growing weed, the sole goal was to learn how to supply the plants with the perfect growing inviorment to get the most potential possible, which is possible when having a very healty plant. Since then, I've learned some very amazing things about how Mother Nature works. One of many is that plants has a built-in immunity system. If the plant has all the nutes it needs, it will automatically fight off dieases & insects to the best of it's ability. For example, liquid seaweed is a natural root stimulator, causing a larger root system, allowing more absorbtion, causing faster, larger growth. Also, the seaweed allows the plant's "bark" to become so strong & dense that Spider Mites can't penetrate the plant, and also the limbs won't break easily. All this just from some seaweed. Molasses is like a free buffet for the trillions of microbes, a feeding frenzy. 24/7, they airate the soil, break down the nutes, allowing faster, better balanced intake of food supply. Balance is key. Organic growing will automatically balance the PH level, reduces heat & cold stress and deleats fert burn & defiency. When the soil is healthy, the fungi & bacteria spoon feeds the feeder roots. Worms breaks down for the Microbes, which breaks down for the fungi's. Chem ferts kills the microbial life, fungi's & bacteria. It also clogges the rooting system, denying trace minerials to be absorbed. this causes imballance, like Meth, breaks down the immunity system, inviting insects & dieases. Again, like Meth, Chem Ferts feels/looks wonderful, but neither has ANY component that actually promotes anything that is healthy for the plant. aloe vera actually helps to regenerate damage cell structures, causing faster growth. I'll put Organic growing up against chems anyday... faster, bigger plants, stronger thc, better yeilds, every time. see the dirtdoctors site for cool info. Are we brainwashed yet?V
