Growing Organic Cannabis
It can be so easy to lose focus on the fact that you can successfully grow cannabis without a host of chemicals and solutions.
Better still, growing cannabis organically is better for the environment, so you can go green, just like your cannabis plants.
When you think about it, cannabis plants grow outdoors, in the wild, in all sorts of environments, without any help from us, or added chemicals. It therefore makes sense that you can do the same.
However, one of the joys of growing cannabis plants, apart from enjoying the end results, is growing seriously productive plants that have great yields.
Those yields do depend, very heavily, on getting everything right when it comes to meeting the plants’ needs.
First, there is the soil itself. Natural soil contains bacteria, fungi, nematodes, protozoa and worms, all of which help to break down nutrients, making them easier for plant roots to absorb.
If you’ve got worms in your soil, they are great for helping nutrients to work their way throughout all the soil, while also ensuring it remains well aerated.
With those in place, you are then in a position to use different forms of fertiliser.
Cannabis plants require three macronutrients.
First there is nitrogen, which you can deliver in the form of seaweed or manure.
Potassium can be provided with wood ash or kelp meal, while phosphorous can be found in manure, bone meal and rock phosphate.
Then you have micronutrients such as boron, found in compost and calcium in eggshells.
Magnesium can be found in organic compost, manganese in seaweed, sulphur in manure and zinc in kelp.
You can easily make your own super-concentrated organic fertiliser to enable swifter uptake of nutrients at times when they are most needed.
Finally, there is that critical pH balance that is all important where healthy cannabis plants are concerned. To increase acidity, vinegar or lemon juice work perfectly, while baking soda can be used to reduce acidity.
Composting is a must for the organic grower, so to get the right compost, work on a 25% green and 75% brown mix, green being kitchen waste and grass cuttings, while brown stands for cardboard, leaves, straw and woodchips.
You can even go one step further and in a composter, include composting worms with kitchen waste and use the castings for your soil, while any liquid run-off can also be added to boost the microbial content of the soil.
It makes sense to go bio with your cannabis plants, as supermarket shelves are stacked with bio products, so they must be reasonably good for you!
But what about you, let us know what you use in the comment section below!
I use worm castings and bat guano and volcanic rock dust fertilizer and superworm frass and organic compost
To me using bottle fertilizer puts too much stress on the plant… I personally go all organic
2:47 is there someone that can explain this in more detail please
Organic Bat Guano is my favorite ♤
Do I need to measure the soil ph when growing organic? measuring ph in soil needs a different meter than the one used to measure ph in water.
Organic always tastes and smokes so much better than synthetic
I use carbonated water to lower the pH of my soil which has worked great so far
I have been using gaia green dry amendments with success. I do want to get to a full living soil and away from using things like blood and bone meals as well as guano that are in many of the mixes
Could i mix soil from someones yard and soil from the store?
You all full of it ! you should see the shit i sometimes grow with nothing but sun an water. You dont need none of the crap here mention or that chemical crap they use in other videos
I have just finished an outdoor grow in South Africa and I used a product called SeaGro. It’s a fish and kelp emulsion around 2/2/2 I think. Used manure and bonemeal in the soil. Specialist nutrients are too expensive here.
great video. I have started growing my own plants and have needed to know if I can bypass commercialize liquid fertilizers. The graphic designs on some of these fertilizers it confused me because they’re giving “LSD” brain melt and I’m looking for “chill summer day”😅 Does anyone know if liquid fertilizer’s work better than manure/and or compost? I have been told that the name weed is derived because of the plant’s ability to grow naturally like a weed in the wild.
body morgue
Lovely
Going to start soon ima get cow Manure and get some worms aswell
Composted goat manure, food scraps and wood Ash for the soil. An odd top up of diluted biodigested liquid fertiliser from a biodigester. Works just as good as any cem grow ive done but better imo. Flushing not really required. Just water till 4 days from harvest and your done. Pest sprays can be made with diluted rabbit urine or essential oils mixed with water.
My stems are thin how do i help buid a stronger base stem and increase the potency
I have 2 drums.one has fish frames and water the other is dry seaweed I collect from the beach.i mix it 50/50 with a spoon full of organic molasses
Sea Sol,,Dymic Lifter and Sheep manure and White Oil to control pests
I use a barrel of water with – seaweed and ripe mangoes and a fish head. Turn everyday and ur golden in 2 weeks.
As an added bonus the last ingredient to the compost tea mix is dirt.
It’s the way to go!!
I bought some organic gardening soil, out of compost. I fed my plants some rock meal and some Kalimagnesia fertilizer.
DO NOT EVER USE BAKING SODA! YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR MICROBIAL LIFE. IT WILL DRY OUT IN THE SOIL AND RAISE SOIL PH. IT HAPPENED TO ME ON MY FIRST GROW. THE PLANTS WENT INTO TOTAL LOCKOUT. PH UP AND DOWN IS VERY AFFORDABLE AND IS MANDATORY
😂
Human urine is a great source of nitrogen
Worm castings +kelp + molasses make a wonderful flower time tea, I’ve also used honey instead of molasses.
I’m an Egyptian and guys here go fully organic just plant it and use only Nile River Water and after a month they start spray lemon juice and sugar on the bud Until harvest
Cannabis is organic lol its like saying i have wet water
Mint fuckin mint bud
I hate this video
My sativas are like 7 feet’s tall and in my 14 years growing in united states never use fertilizer and my baby are great i yes attract the worms like in Puerto Rico my method is real easy and the soil is grate
I’ve been using lemon juice and baking soda instead of pH up and pH down. Cheers!
Switch organic 7 years ago learn natural farming and JADAM and FAA FFj FPJ and I amend my soil in beginning of season and top dress 2-3 times in flower that’s it natural farming change my life. Haven’t owned or touched a PH pen in 4 years and I know by the plant what and whe they need it so it a game of planning
If I add some lemon juice to the water I’m giving the plants, is this good ?
I thought PH didn’t matter because the microbe s do all the work for you
Great video as alwayss 💯💯💯
.!ï.
I liked this video very much and want to see more helpful tips
I use magnesium sulfate or Epsom salt for short. If my plant specifically has a magnesium deficiency. As a new grower I like so many others found Cal-mag as a go too, solve the problem. However your not just adding magnesium but calcium and 2% nitrogen by weight ratio. Since Cal-mag is a synthetic nutrient, unlike organic. The roots will take up everything you put into the soil and store them in the lower leaves as NPK and magnesium are all mobile nutrients. The problem with this is they will not stop until the cell walls swell with NOWHERE to go. This can result in immediate nitrogen toxicity or NUTE lock out. Even if you feed only P-K boosters during flower. Giving them too much or more than what they need of one thing or the other, especially mobile nutrients LiKe nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium. These are the most likely to cause lock out so knowing your deficiency helps. Likewise what they look like. That’s why I switched to organic. Now I only give one third cup of Espoma garden tone 3-4-4 each month. Which is completely organic has all the macro and mirco nutrients and mycholrizal fungi and trichoderma bacteria blend all in one PH balanced bag. That’s literally all I use for a grow. And if I ever have a issue then I only have to treat that issue specifically. Which is mostly determined by the phenotype. Like those who are nitrogen sensitive or otherwise. A happy plant is a hungry one. So using something like this Espoma garden tone is a win win. Since the worms and microbes break down the food as needed and the plants can not otherwise absorb them unless they are broken down. By the microbial life in the soil or Rizosphere. Since Espoma has small amounts of everything your plant will ever need. Then you can’t go wrong using it correctly or even incorrectly. If the plants don’t need it they won’t use it.
I am waiting to try a brew i started last fall, it is a 5 gallon mixture of fish guts, molasses and water. I also have used rabbit poop tea in a 30 gallon garbage can, work great.
I made some nice compost, what’s the best way to use it? Put it directly in the soil or compost tea?
Organic living soil is THE way to grow imo
Someone give me all the ingredients to growing like what I need to get all in full please …
citric acit is not an good option, i heard that citrat is accumulation in the soil ..phosphoracid or potassiumacid is fitting more
Garden soil
Absolutely love your videos ! The shit is always on point and to the point with no fillers. You got my vote.
won’t vinegar kill your microbiology. lol
CANNA BIO full organig
.Yes I Do organic and Sometimes hybrid with synthetic when needed
Dont no y ppl use bottled nutrients 😂long
