    Are there any scientific consensus as to what the actual ideal NPK ratios are for cannabis?

    In the end cannabis will grow well with a various mixes. Genetics will perform better with certain nutrient ratios, but in the end they all will perform well enough with a multitude of NPK ratios. The only hard and fast rule imo is to not over do ammonical nitrogen

    Athena Fade Ingredients? Anyone got a bottle?

    Calcium chloride is used as it's one of the soluble forms of calcium without nitrogen that can be used in hydroponics. I personally feel like causing ' fade' from that much chloride is most likely from antagonism in the root zone causing extreme lockouts.

    Power SI / Feed Methods

    First, we have basic potassium silicates, which are solids or solutions derived from the reactions of silica with potassium hydroxide. In this category you have popular products like AgSil 16H and liquid concentrates like Growtek Pro-Silicate. These products have a very basic pH. Second, we...

My water has chlorine for example, there is also mono silicic...

    Why some still Don't grow Organically?

    I'm not sure how enviormental factors have anything to do with synthetic vs organic so i'm confused as well. " Plants uptake more than NPK from the inputs that we feed them." Would love to know what these are.

    Why some still Don't grow Organically?

    Terroir, is more referring to the mineral composition of the soil and general environment the plants are grown in no? You can affect the mineral content of soils organically or synthetically? so not sure what that has to do with it?
