It really depends on the soil: does it have enough air, and how available the nutrients are. I used to do chemical ferts and they are highly available straight from the bottle if it's a good one, i.e. chelated minerals. Probably not far behind hydro if your soil verges on soil less.
Organics are more dependent on maintaining soil health, but with a healthy ecosystem breaking down the organic material to become available continually, it's probably not that far behind chem ferts in speed.....but it will be WAY WAY out in front for taste.

cause those beautiful ladies dance on the pole when your done. I cut off all branches and leaves from the bottom half at the beginning of week 3 but spare the leaves above that and(if a branch is more than 1" it gets the cut as well). Not only do the strippers get more light but the root system bulked up the first three weeks to handle a larger plant so now all the energy can be directed toward the single top cola---An added benefit is also the major reduction in manicuring and trimming time at the end of harvest. I run 82---3gal grow-bags on a true 4'x8' table the table is lit with 66 watts/sf --the medium is 1/2 coco with 1/2 small perlite(I add 1" of large perlite in the bottom of each bag to hold the coco and small perlite from running out the drain holes in the grow-bags. I start Indicas at 12" and Sativ's at 6" to 9"(both will grow 3x in height in the first three weeks---I try to keep my air-cooled hoods 6" or less from the top of plant canopy--If I have a plant or two taller then the rest I will tie the top down to match the rest of the canopy--I run my co2 at 1700 ppms and my room temp is 80 to 83 I keep my RH below 50% with an avg of 40%. Each plant will avg 28grams dried and cured(Some strains produce less----some more)---note---I plant an extra 10% in the same bags and keep them on the sides, that way if I have some week performers or slow/small growers I have a healthy plant replacement. I love the str
ippers!!!
