I think water is better but soil taste better.

can anyone prove this statement to be correct? I am really getting tired of it, don't believe it and never did. I have tasted hydro bud with nutes like floranova and it tastes great. I have tasted soil buds and no phenomenal awesome dirt taste occurs. Does it make sense to anyone why dirt buds would taste better? Seems like hydro buds would actually be able to obtain a cleaner and tastier smoke, since u can flush extremely hard for the last week or two.

I think the basis for that "soil makes better tasting bud" opinion can be true depending on how the hydro plants are grown. Growing hydro using chemical salts only, there may be less secondary metabolic processes than when growing in soil. Those secondary processes are where the terpenes and flavonoids and ketones are developed, and those are what gives bud it's aroma and flavor.

Nowadays, complete hydro nutes like FloraNova, which include humics and kelp and organic supplements aid those secondary processes and hydro bud can be just as tasty.

i was just kidding about the flush thing. i have a real question though. the three part fox farm additives for flowering, the last one, i believe is cha-ching and it instructs you to use till the very end, is this meant to be included while flushing?

take a closer look a lot of those are just molasses that you are paying too much for, and from my limited experience the molasses doesn't hurt to include in your flush:)

so dry fox farm 3 part additives are made of molasses eh? I suppose hygrozyme is made of zombie piss and fermented kool-aid?

wait..why would you want a light in your rez? Wouldn't that increase heat and bacteria growth? Also, I am not sure you would want to put Molasses into your rez, that is more of a soil thing. I have heard that it increases harmful bacteria and could cause rootrot. I have no experience with Molasses tho, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Molasses???....Geez, who woulda thought...but sweeet!! (he he pun intended)

But then again...Look at PH up and PH down or any ph adjuster.... Most of them are Lye and Suphuric Acid (Pool Acid)
