I do it for the quality of the product, but growing organicly ain't really environmentaly friendly when u use bone, blood and guanos...And also i was tired of buying fertz that shit expensive.

i hear you on the guanos, but maybe making use of bone and blood is actually a service to the environment. As a waste product, blood is very nasty, and bones take a lot of room. The gardener using bone and blood is sort of like a vulture.

Because I have 3 kids and a missus that keep me broke & Organic growing is so cheap once established!

All you need is........

2 x Bokashi Compost buckets

3 x Worm bins

2 x compost bins

1 x lrg bucket with airstones

The only thing you will ever have to buy is some coir, perlite & molasses.

Once you have all of the above cycled for about 1 year it is just too easy :)

love that bokashi. we put a trash can out every 3 weeks or so now, instead of every week. And that was with a worm bin.

Yeah Bokashi is great, everything that the worms cant eat goes into the Bokashi buckets ie; spicey foods, garlic, meats, dairy and anything else that might not be great for the worms then the Bokashi buckets are emptied into the compost bins :)

Waste not want not ;)

I've been throwing everything in the bokashi, then feeding that to the worms. they are going insane! never seen those kinds of numbers before, or that level of fornication. it's like 5% cocoons.

and because it heats the bin like crazy if you add it all at once, I can keep them toasty in winter. all the stuff they hate, they love after fermentation. try some bokashi bran in your bin you will see what I mean. it's insanity.

Yeah I hear that works great but I like to run 3 worm bins, one gets high "N" foods, one gets high "P & K" foods and the other is only feed cannabis leaves and waste.

quality operating procedure?

I tried that. but it was too much work to sort. i have labels "roots and fruit", "leaves", and "stems and bananas". that lasted about a week. now i just have four wormbins, three of which are fed in rotation. the fourth is the worm bin bag from instructables dot com, and it never needs scooping or sorting. you just harvest at the bottom.

Voted quality and other. I use mostly all organic products, however we're not 100% organic. For example... I started using liquid karma recently with the EJ line. Liquid karma is just organic based or something, granted its not a primary nute. I've also sprayed clones with a miticide upon receving from people. I don't flower these plants out, but rather take clones of them and flower those plants.

Anyways, back to my original point.... I use earth juice and ewc cause I really like using it. I first bought a bottle for my buddy growing a plant in his closet almost 10 years ago. The quality of the buds is amazing. Its cheap and easy to find, although you gotta make sure its relatively fresh. Nowadays I bubble it up for 36 hours or so before use. Could prob do less if it wasnt soo cool in that area.

Yeah thats a nice way to see the drama but i was more refering to the origine of the blood and bones from the meat business industry...

Easy? not for some living in a small flat, working 9 to 10 hours a day. I think more small organic products from lil producters is needed in shops...Sometime big brand organic product are lame.
