Im on my second season (starting april), I want to grow all natural with only inputs bright water. I'm not dumb so please, I do not need any bragarts hating.
I intend to utilize a companion crop medely and my own closed.loop compost as mulch.
Id love to get authentic thoughts, not prayers. Starting with Bruce Banner and a separate guerrilla grow with green crack. Variety doesn't really matter and that's what I'm doing.

Thoughts, advice (especially if no inputs intrigues you or you've done this grow), and or questions are welcome.

Im in 7a so 21ish weeks.

Your post was listed 5th on a Google search, so there's not a lot of information associated with the phrase "no inputs." There's more information about "low input" farming, which means optimizing use of internal production inputs. That's for a farm, however, and quite different from a guerilla grow (as I understand it).

What do you plan to use for nutrients for your plants?

Compost, placed at sight now, and sown companion crops. Nutrients fixers, pest deterrent, etc so no inputs other then water and compost.

As far as google, I've exhausted that limited research and have been following carbon cowboys, elaine Ingham--- all closed loop with the exception of the seeds.

I do appreciate the look!

I think middle of April is when I will put a clone of something from my inside grow outside in coco/perlite.

No worries. I just thought it was interesting that THC Farmer was the best they had.


Sounds good. This is how farming was done for a very long time.

Precisely! Ultimately I'll be getting 160 acres and I want to be able to grow 100% natural so everything i do today will be experience/ experiments.

Thanks for looking!

I don’t feed my plants anything during the grow! Just Water! Have a pile of dirt out back getting amended! The plants are getting fed right now! They just don’t know it! But they will once they exist!😁🐒 Welcome, and good luck!

You are going to need to build a really good living soil. 1 part peet moss 1 part pumice 1 part compost chicken scratch basalt kelp meal craft blend. Make sure you build horizons. I would say no less tha 30 gallon pots.

might be worth while buying a soil report and consultation from build a soil. I think it’s 150 bucks and they will tell you what you need to amend your soil.

Definitely agree on a 30 gallon minimum! The rest varies according to the grower! Climates, length of season, Etc.!

Thanks for the look, I'm not sure what you mean tho--- sorry. I think you just grow with no inputs but you do amend?

Ohbyes, I'm building soil, it's 2 years old now and has had roots in it for quite awhile! However no inputs do not build soil that way. If I do have to mechanically build soil it's equal parts clay silt and sand. I appreciate your input, I just want 100% natural with no inputs.

Thank you for the information
It's just this is exactly what I do not want to do. Soil test won't be done until I can afford some micro eyes! Which I'm very excited for.


So just to be clear 100% closed loop natural. :)

I'm looking for advice in this department. Tanks!
