Kitchen waste

[Eyes on Fire]

Lime after the composting usually help it blend more fully and once boosted or added to IMO Lime is then a great addition.But outdoors is a little different than indoors. All good recipes here!! just have to take this indoors and keep the pests and diseases out of your tent.that can sometimes be a challenge is all I mean.Outdoors?!sheeeeit,all sorts of things can be used outdoors in a natural environment over an indoor somewhat controlled environment. you could also use a hot box to trap heat and help it cook and blend faster.

Really great point! I wouldn’t be using this indoors. Maybe one day, when I am WAY more informed. I’m scared of bugs and all the stuff that can go wrong in an enclosed environment. These efforts, for me, are strictly for outdoor growing.

Fair enough but where should we adjust the numbers?
More or less N, P or K?
And remember this is the total use of NPK from seedling to harvest, I’m not saying 3-0,3-3(or 30-3-30) is the right ratio from start to end

Man, I’m lost. Lol! Those numbers make my dyslexic brain hurt. I won’t even pretend to understand how you get to those numbers or use them but are you taking into account that it’s getting mixed with soil; so, diluted, for lack of a better word? I can promise you that you can grow with cow and horse manure. Just look at Skell’s grows for proof of the benefits of horse manure! I’ve grown everything from tomatoes to oleanders with store bought cow manure. So, I’m just making it for myself.....cuz I’m “cheap!” Lol!

Sorry I've been busy, but see my answer here http://autoflower.net/forums/threads/npk-requiremts.67607/

A general diagnosis does not mean all plants,soils,and/or microbes behave in the same way.they dont. Enhance....Enhance....Enhance...the life and foods and find different results in various ways.leading to very similar albeit mildly different in feeding and composting characteristics.

Horse manure + lime + sun = Monster Plants!!!

That's for sure, manure is the king fertilizer!
But I was thinking about what to use from the kitchen waste, not everyone have access to horse and cow shit

But if Cannabis really need 3 times as much Phosphorus as other crops then it's bad news for the "Cannabis saves the word"-idea
P is a very limited recourse and we are about to run out of it

I think and we’ll-rounded diet of vegetables ought to give you what you need. If you want to boost the P, add plenty of banana or peels. Luckily, we eat loads of bananas at my house. But you can google for a list of foods that are high in P and see what you eat regularly that’s on the list. Start eating it mite often asi you’ll have plenty to add to your compost.

There’s even a school of thought that (I don’t buy into 100%) says all soil has adequate nutrients if the proper microbes are there to make it available. Now, while I think this is an overstatement, I agree with the premise that it’s much more about the microbiology and less about the levels of nutrients added to the soil. We tend to basically force-feed plants what we think they need in levels that are un-natural to insure they uptake enough. This is easier than taking the microbial life into consideration and, certainly, more profitable for the industry surrounding gardening. If people figured out that they only needed healthy microbes and some balanced compost who would buy all the nutes out there? Lol! Just a thought.

If you can’t get manure, I’d be looking hard at combining some standard compost methods and also at vericomposting. Chances are, what you throw out would produce all you need for your garden. Even in cities, I’ll bet manure can be found - particularly horse manure. Talk to some guys that drive horse drawn carriages or find out where the police stable is or maybe a local riding academy or stable just outside of the city. Many of them would be happy to let you have some free manure. Again, just a thought.

The majority of garden centers stock both horse and cow manure

True, but it cost money.
I’m drained after buying this and buying that for all this cannabis growing
