I've been here awhile, and you are one of the few idiots...maybe one of three....that I've run across.
First of all, your ignorance of the product is hampering your otherwise substandard congnitive abilities even more than usual:
Osmocote prills NEVER dissolve. They aren't supposed to. They are resin coated prills that allow the fertilizers to release slowly, over time.
Secondly, you don't "lose control" over your medium. In fact, you have far more control with CRF's than with chemical nutes, because the PPM and EC stays steady at all times---given a decent growing environment---when the plant needs more, more is released....but the PPM's never get over about 300. You never over or under feed.
I did a side by side grow with AN Connoisseur and additives vs Osmocote+.
It's in the Un-Lucky Queen journal. The Osmocote kicked the crap out of the AN. I stopped using the AN and if you want 2 gallons of Can-o-sewer, a gallon of BigBud and a bunch of other crap for free, you can come get it.
The difference in cost is a joke.....with the AN stuff coming in at over 1000 dollars, compared to 20 bucks for the OC+.
People on this forum have smoked some of my OC+ weed and have very favorable things to say about it. No flush needed, nothing but good taste and clean, white ash.
Regarding organics....I'm in 100% custom blended organic soil right now. IMO it's the best way to grow if taste and the broadest spectrum of terpenes is your goal. If I have to supplement down the line, it will be with OC+, because I don't want to disturb the soil web or effect the taste in a negative way.
But I think you should continue to use AN. Give your money to Big Mike so you can feed your plants cheap chemicals with fancy names. Oh, and make sure you flush! If you don't, all the over feeding will make your product taste like crap.
As for me, I'll stick with what sane, educated people do when they grow plants. Cannabis specific nutes are a rip-off. If you can't understand that, you're simply not meant to.
Some people simply don't have the capacity to understand....they merely cling to the first thing they learned as "the truth."
So, do your experiment and make sure to journal it with pictures. Keep track of the costs too. If you're honest, you'll see what we're talking about.
Until then, have respectful discussion borne out of knowledge......or.....
STFU.
Well put, DocBud. +reps to you, Irishboy, Setting Sun and Blue Dog! Keep up the good work. I think it's bang your head against the wall when it comes to this bonehead, though. You can tell by the way he answers, no respect, no nada. Later bros!!
