I'm sure the nutes work.. its just that they don't work the same way. For instance, there is NO adjusting the ph of an organic grow. The microbe's don't like it when their ph gets messed up, maybe they like a ph of 8, maybe more a ph of 5. The point is, the rhizosphere's ph is what the microbe's want it to be, not what we want it to be, or even what the plant wants it to be. I don't think the world has quite unlocked all the secrets of the organic world, just unlocked enough to call it organic and grow a plant.
