Bro, greetings! Hope you're doing well! 💪 It's all about the absorption speed - dissolved simple elements will be more readily absorbed than organic ones, since organic fertilizers need to be processed by microorganisms in the soil, and their byproducts will be more accessible to the plant (this takes about 3 days). In other words, the plant eats the nutrient solution right away, but with organic, it only gets it when it becomes available, transitioning from organic to a simpler and more accessible nutrient form. 👌 Stay healthy, bro! 👋 Good luck! 👍

I'm growing 100% organic first time 😅. Might have made an already simple thing more complicated 🙃. But with the lockdown and free time I can forage the nessecery item (I hope 🙄). Thanks for the feedback none the less everyone! Been made feel very welcome to this community ☺️

You can do organic hydro and its called bioponic. It works like an aquarium and there is small ecosystem going on and I would say it is JUST as fast as normal hydro if you know what you are doing. Bioponic might need some better and in-depht knowledge of stuff to be as successful as normal hydro but I believe it does not matter if you use organic or non. Never tried 100% organic so I cant say from experience but rather by feel

well, a big part of it is also the genetics of the strain, but it's often right that 100% organic nutrients can't deliver as much as non-organic ones, as these can be much more concentrated..

If you're asking if hydro is faster than a soil medium, yes it's a lot faster, I've seen people grow with organic in hydroponics, I wouldn't say it was any slower than a synthetic nute line, hope this helps.
