Veg synthetic and flower organic?

Is it worth trying to use synthetic nutrients in veg, then transplant into organic soil right before flower? My thought is using synthetic in veg to push for big/strong branches and growth. Organic to finish as I prefer the taste of organic flower? Thoughts?

Totally worth trying, your plants will be just fine. Use/add mycorrhizae from start to finish to boost plant health and nutrient efficiency. There are plenty of liquid organic fertilizers these days, why not try them and for your entire grow, the results will be just as good, if not better.

I think its more in your head the taste of organic but I would honestly do it in reverse for best flowering throughput. Organic amendments in veg as its taking time to break down and the plant to grow, they 100% available nutrients in flower to push it to the max. Ensure to get good runoff with sythemtic nutents.

Sure, it would make some sense supposing your beliefs are accurate to reality. though the plant stores nutrients in leaves, so you'd still have some of the molecules from the synthetic delivery to the roots being used to build cells and other plant bits (terpenes etc) in a delayed fashion. The problem with this would be the microbial life you need to effectively use "organic" fertilizrs may not be well-developed if you use 'synthetic' fertilizers early on. The organic stuff requires intermediary steps to occur before some of the ingredients can even be taken in by the plant. I'd strongly suggest keeping it simple. Either do one or the other. ------------ Just beacuse building block molecules are delivered in slightly different form does not mean flower is built differently. most of the differences between your organic fertilizer and so-called 'synthetic' (which are mostly naturally ocurring minerals), is not different once it can enter the plant. Only in the rootzone are the molecules drastically different... they need to be broken down into the same or similar molecules to enter the plant. the 'synthetic' are simply skipping that step. No matter how a nitrate is formed, it will always act the same way as all other nitrates of same chemical composition. Just as CO2 always acts like CO2 regardless of how it came into existence. The nitrate having to be broken down from some larger molecule is no different and will act and be used for the same things in the same way inside the plant. CO2 is inorganic, btw... seems to be fine for plants. your own body requires inorganic molecules to function well, too. This distinction is retarded. Even chemists know that inorganic vs organic is not a distinction of causation but rather correlation. They've had to adjust teh definition because we can now build organic molecules in a lab. Again, how some form of matter behaves has nothing to do with how it came into existence - absolutely irrelevant to how it works/behaves. This is one of those things that has a very high potential to be proven wrong with a blind taste test or testing what constitutes flower and proportion of those elements. This hypothesis is untested and there's lots of reason to be skeptical by understanding some basics of plant biology. How the nutrients were delivered is not necessarily relevant to how it will be used inside the plant. It must be broken down into similar molecules in order to be used for cellular division or building terpenes/trichomes etc. These things follow specific instructions to build specific molecules related to various tasks. Being delivered attached to a 'protein' or some organic base doesn't mean shit if that protein is stripped away and never found in the flower in any measureable way. All it means is that there were extra intermediary steps to make it plant-useable.

Heh there .what you described is definitely not the norm. Although anything is possible. I personally use liquid nutes start to finish and have no problem with taste I think genetics and drying and curring have alot more todo with final buds. Don't get me wrong tou should try out what you said. Good luck have fun experimenting
