Ready to switch from Organics.

[Dazed]

I'm on the cusp! I care about the environment, care about sustainability and my health, but organics is hard work. Especially here in UK where products are minimal and hard to come by. I'm getting bored of carrying buckets of rainwater into my house, looking super suspicious, and overall I'm fed up with results I'm getting. I want simplicity and good results, after 1 year of growing I'm still no further along, it's all just too hit and miss for my liking. TaNgs schedule is on my mind big time.

Any thoughts?

Why can't you use reg tap water?What organic products are hard for you to get?

I'm 90% sure my tap water has chloramines in it. The problem with the organic products is that we can get certain things here, but we have nowhere near the amount of options you guys in the US have. I don't have a big space to grow, stealth is paramount and can only grow 1 or 2 plants max so it's difficult to experiment. I have a close version of Subcools recipe because that was the simplest, tried, tested format I could replicate with the product here, but even then I can't the base soil (roots organic).

I'm not being defeatist here! I truly want organics to work for me, but when I see a schedule/results like TaNgs, I wonder how much longer I can fumble my way through each grow not making any headway.

I know I know lmao, but man, it just doesn't feel like it's working in my favour.

That's a fair comment. I agree organics in general do not yield as much, but then it is sustainable, and that to me is important. I think we do enough damage to this planet, a scary amount actually, and it doesn't need me contributing with my grow, however small it is. That being said, if I can't grow to the standard I want......

Well put simply, chemicals end up somewhere and that somewhere is in our oceans and inevitably in our land and our food.

that sucks but if you think about it its going to happen regardless because even if we go the organic way other people wont

and ik its a bit off topic but it reminded me of something i read today about the famous Pablo Escobar when asked why he sold all those drugs and ruined peoples lives, he said "if i wouldn't do it, some one else will and that person will get rich while i stay poor"
