Will organic fertilizer make plants grow faster than inorganic fertilizer?

Question

Please help me decide which one helps makes the plants grow faster!

Answer 1

NO.

Answer 2

Most of the time - no. Your results will be faster with inorganics, but the reason for this is often easy to see on the label.
Standard chemical fertilizer might be 13-13-13, while a seaweed fertilzer might be 3-2-2. There's a whole lot more punch in that box of chemicals.
If you apply a weekly seaweed spray; you'll probably have the same results with much better long term health benefits for your plants and soil.

Answer 3

Non organic like Mirical Grow will make you plants grow faster

BUT

The excess nitrogen can cause blossom drop

Excess nitrogen will attract a lot more bugs

Excess nitrogen will reduce the productivity of the plant

In tomatoes you can taste the difference

Excess nitrogen means you have to stake a 2ft pepper, eggplant or tomato plant


Yup I have seen pictures of a 30ft tomato plant w/o a single fruit on it

You choice

Btw organic is once or twice per season Mirical Grow is all day every 2 weeks

Answer 4

There is no difference between organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer in regard to plant growth.

Answer 5

fertilizers in general make the plants grow faster but organic material produces better tasting and healthier products. the fertilizers sometimes contain chemicals that are harmful to the plant.

Answer 6

No, but they do add essential elements to your soil. Fertilizer effectiveness is usualy due to N-nitrogen content- which increases foliage growth and green color. P-phosphorus, which aids in root structures and flowering. K-Potash, which assists in heat and cold tollerance. Some of these are available in organics, but not much of it. The best thing that organics do for plants is in improving soil structure, for drainage and moisture retention.

Answer 7

Of course not. It is the ingredients like Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potash in any fertilizer that makes plants grow. It does not depend on where those ingredients came from.

Answer 8

As I understand things starting plants out right in near perfect, compost enriched soil then adding small quantities of inorganics salts gives good results. Try to think of the lushest tropical rain forest, a thick mat of compost and the ocassional bit of bird poop!

Answer 9

they both will make the plants grow the same they say use organic fertilizer if you dont want unwanted chemicals in your soil what makes mine grow fast is miracle grow soil and plant booster pellets i buy them at home depot. but i used the organic fertilizer and seen no difference.. good luck

Answer 10

Always go organic because it just means that they use 'all natural' products. Compost is a great addition to your plants or garden because it has much needed plant food for your growing buds!

Answer 11

I don't think its the type but rather the amount, availability and balance of the fertilizer.
