Do bloom boosters make your bud taste like shit?

Calcium carbonate is calcium carbonate whether it comes in a bottle or is derived directly from the soil from limestone formations. Idiots like Johnny Lawrence are too stupid to realize this. Laughing at the impact ofbeneficial microbes is a sign of pure ignorance.

Hmmm. Who would listen to a guy that makes up bullshit stories for internet cred? 89 Chem? Chem from "sfv himself". "Magic carpet pheno of Ghost OG". LMAO.. Liars can't be trusted.

The 89 fiasco was an ill conceived plan to find someone that had a strain I had been hunting for a few years. Actually got it last year....Blue Magoo and not the rebuild..

My fault, I own that...

btw, still have the 91 cut

The ghost....That's the story I got when given that cut....

I suppose your synthetic use gives better terp profiles and flavors then organic too.?

Where did I laugh at the impact of beneficials? I use them, so that would make no sense.

80% of the market isn't sophisticated to tell if they wanted to.
My nose stopped working properly decades ago...
I don't have much of a nose myself and almost all the people I know that use pot are either stoners who rate their pot by how messed up it gets them or like myself, more interested in the medicinal effects.

Tho I grow mostly with hydro nutes in soilless or DWC I've found that adding some organics to my soilless does seem to bring out more fruity scents and likely more that my unsophisticated palate doesn't notice.

I'm sure if I broke my 50 year addiction to tobacco I'd notice a lot more. This year for sure! lol

:peace:

i only used a bloom booster (koolbloom) on one grow. I had huge colas that produced my largest harvest ever. The buds all tasted like total shit. When a bowl was smoked it crackled, popped, and burned to a hard charcoal like ash that scorched the lungs. I truly hated smoking it. I also failed to perform any flush.

Are bloom boosters just a bad idea in general when it comes to flavor? I don't care if I get more weight if all I'm smoking is buds full of phosphorous and potassium that taste like shit and scorch my lungs.

I'm at week 5 of flower and am considering adding a bloom booster in moderation and completing a 10 day flush. I'm also considering not adding a bloom booster at all.
I’d use the bloom booster just flush until the leaves yellow.remember this” if it’s green it ain’t clean”

Next. The way I put it is well known FACT. I suggest you read up on the subject..
I'll break down and give you a simple, well known example.

How does the taste of a hydroponic tomato compare to one grown in the ground? Now try an organic vs. a synthetic grown....
what makes it a fact?

hydro tomatoes are better, grown with pure synthetic nutrients

Are you serious? Flush until the leaves are yellow? Why? I harvest fully ripened plants while leaving the leaves healthy and green all the way til the end. That's some of the worst advice I've seen in awhile. Yeah, lets starve the plant when it's bulking up. Good grief.

Your just trying to start a confrontation now.....Or simply trolling.....Your statement is down right funny....

Yet, for you and Johnny.

It is a long held fact that the symbiotic relationship between the living soil and the plant. Produce some factors can not completely be reproduced by synthetic feeding...

You all must remember that the growing done by my parents. Was done for many years. Both grew up on farms. Both had direct contact with the plants and results from growing them for all those years also...
It's called direct experience....

I didn't find the difference in terp profiles from differing sulfate sources over night....AND, no matter how I've tried and tried..(I am working on finding what I might supplement to pull in those Pinene's)...I simply can not copy the those terp profiles in soil and synthetics that organics produce...

Synthetic run GG, does NOT smell like organic run at all.....Supplementing those 2 sulfates helps but, you can still tell......Bias or not.

The real difference to me? My customers can tell the difference! Like @OldMedUser said.
Some don't care as long as the buzz stays the same but,,,those other 2/3 are so passionate about that taste and smell (and they can pick them out every time)....They MUST have the organic!

You're right, I can't. Your super sciencey post above ruined me with all of that confirmation bias you just displayed. Outstanding. Check mate, sir.
Ducking the question.....

Support your point with something...
Mom put all the tomatoes in the sink and washed them. We ate them. She, on her own and with out any previous bias or thought to find a difference...Did.
She was not privy to how the gifted tomatoes were grown, nor mentioned any possible bias before eating them....

I'll skip the sarcasm.....
