Organic versus Inorganic and Yield

[Alistair]

Do the inorganic fertilizers produce bigger buds/yields than organic fertilizers? I've done both and it seems to me that the organic pot that I've grown tastes better than most of the inorganic pot that I've grown, but the yield was bigger with the inorganic fertilizers. What is your experience or opinion on this?

it really all depends on your methods and your understanding of those methods and your strains... I now grow organic in my coco buckets and my yields rival any inorganic hydroponic grow, i would say that it is true that with organics done right it is easier to promote higher terpenoid levels thus influencing the taste and smell, but I can also tell you that I use to grow totally inorganic hydroponic buds that could honestly pass for organics... With chemicals it becomes very important to understand the plants motabolism and how they motabolize minerals, sugars and starches... Also imo, curing become paramount with chems as even with a good flush the chems can leave reside that has to be motabolized and converted during curing.

If a person grew 6 outside plants organically and ended up with 3 lbs. of excellent dried buds, is that average, or better than average?
