Anyone have any suggestions on fertilizer for marijuana? For soil, not hydro. We legalized it here in Michigan, so I’m gonna start growing. Thanks!
I would suggest a well aged compost/manure. Full sun and well drained soil. Consider growing in large ceramic flower pots. MiracleGro might make the plants grow too fast and not flower. There are a number of excellent seed sources in Europe.
One book I read said not to use miracle grow, then somewhere else praised it. Home Depot had some all purpose organic miracle grow on clearance for a dollar, so I bought a bag but haven’t used it yet. If I don’t use it on this, I can always use it in the garden.
@Flexymorals Personally, I wouldn’t use anything that says miracle on pot plants. However, I do use some inorganic feet in my vegetable garden and MiracleGro on potted flowers. I use the depth of the leaf green color as my guide. Pot is a very hardy plant. Good luck.
It's probably similar to any other plant. Does the plant tend to like an acidic or alkaline soil? Research this and plan your fertilizer accordingly. I use compost with lots of egg shells.
Acidic. I’ve just started researching and I’ve read two books on it. Both said to fertilize, but neither have a suggestion on type of fertilizer, which I thought was stupid. If you’re writing a book on growing and say to fertilize, how hard would it be to just give a suggestion on type? Anyway, this is part of my research. Figured one of you heathens would know.
@Flexymorals composting pine needles is extremely acidic! Pile them up and mix them with leaves. let them bake in the sun and turn them over with a pitchfork every now and then. They'll be ready in a season. This is precisely what I use for my strawberries.
@SukiSue sounds good. I haven’t seen the sun in weeks, though lol
@Flexymorals hmmmmm... I see you are in Michigan. The snow might do the same thing. It will blanket the pile. Compost needs to "bake."
@SukiSue yeah we don’t have any snow either. It’s just dark, cold, and wet.
@Flexymorals same here.
@Flexymorals Same here in Syracuse
Not kidding....... chicken shit. An old, now deceased chicken farmer here in N. Fl. used it to great success. Oh the stories I could tell......
Really? I can get tons of that! ???
@Zoohome Damn right.. he would dig a hole in the woods with a front end loader, go get a load of chickenshit, and throw it in, then plant. High in Nitrogen.
@Lop-Eared-Mule it's funny you say that and where you live by. We have a farm in St George, which is closer to Jax than to Live Oak; we always say that the grower did that. Everyone seem high at that farm, and all the houses were surrounded by wood/jungle.
@Zoohome Well it wasn't far from the Okefenokee, sooooo...that's about all I can say about that!!!!
@Lop-Eared-Mule it might be a regional agriculture method. ?
@Lop-Eared-Mule I wonder if peacock shit is similar. My dad raises those. Has like 12 of them. Shit everywhere at his house...
Good humus with a couple of tablespoons of powdered eggshells added to it for each plant grown.
That’s an interesting one. I have a ton of chickpeas to make my own anyway. Thanks.
Fish emulsion was always standard where I’m from.
Does that stink? I’m growing indoors and I have a feeling that smells horrible.
@Flexymorals I don’t remember it being too bad, but never saw it used inside. Good dirt is good too.
