Smartie pants! Lol!Not true, Z. Also, OMRI doesn't certify a thing, they are basically a list compilation service, that's it.
Right now the issue with manures are the NOP rules, and the state must remain in compliance there.
The issues inherent with how our government handles organic vs conventional agriculture again starts at the top, and absolutely, the states' certifying agencies are responding to it. Third party and all that shit, yeah? Yeah.
Cool and all good, reading comprehension does not come easy to everyone.Didn't take it like that bro. I completely appreciate the info. Didn't mean to come off any other way!
There is a clean green certification for mmj.I wouldn't sweat it Z... As for California Organic Program it's geared for foodstuffs. So there are a long list of reasons products won't make the list. Bat Guano no matter how pretty the label is anything but morally sustainable. Seabird Guano is highly sustainable and most likely a pure product. These nute companies are sourcing from people who knock holes into the sides of bat caves..knowing the bats won't migrate to other colonies. Then you have the cave conditions..which would be bats pooping onto a carpet of cockroaches who are eating their shit and pooping themselves.
BUT..I have no problem smoking buds grown on bat guano..as long as i can't taste it..I could care less...and have used plenty of batshit..call me crazy.
However, ABG phosphate truly is 100% natural, organic and allowed for use in organic farming. ABG phosphate is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI®) for use in production of organic food and fiber. ABG phosphate is fossilized bat guano that has been buried in collapsed caves for thousands of years. Fossilization resulted in depletion of the nitrogen and potentially harmful bacteria that are typically associated with fresh guano. Because of these unique characteristics, ABG phosphate is technically not considered to be guano or manure for regulatory purposes. Instead, OMRI® lists ABG phosphate as a “mined material, unprocessed” and its status is “allowed.” Generally, fruits and vegetables fertilized by materials that have an “allowed” status, such as ABG phosphate, can be harvested any time after fertilization without fear of bacterial contamination. Conversely, fresh guano and manure, because of its potentially harmful bacteria content, generally requires a 90 or 120 day waiting period between fertilization and harvesting of fruits or vegetables.
I make my best effort as well. Lol. And duely noted!Cool and all good, reading comprehension does not come easy to everyone.
My point is attempting to communicate clearly
There is a clean green certification for mmj.
According to the USDA, all of the fossilized seabird guano supplies are already exhausted. There are however some large reserves of fossilized bat guano left. Seabird guano can also contain up to 6% sodium.
Straight shooter! Friggin president of a company and takes time to send samples awesome samples by the way and answers every email and phone call! Good dude who does great business!+1 for Scott! yes he lays it out there pretty good..class act and entertaining if ya ask me..the shit he says just clicks the light on. I knew about the caves in Mexico..but failed to register the whole cave environment deal. lol
Researchers in British Columbia analyzed the NPK (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) ratio of comfrey* and discovered that the leaves have a remarkable NPK ratio of 1.80-0.50-5.30.
* Air-dried powdered comfrey leaf tissues.
If you don’t think the NPK ratio of the dried leaves is impressive enough, you can also make a concentrated liquid fertilizer out of comfrey (see directions below) with an NPK ratio of about 8-2.60-20.50! (
I agree. In addition there is a ton of information that is conflicting. Or one source is sustainable another is not, therefore it is assumed that all is bad.Interesting..the demand for Cannabis might not help that if it's true. Check this page real quick
Reasons might be Seabirds are in danger...unrelated to guano harvesting. Most interesting is Peru seems to have thrown up some blocks to limit export. Apparently, they are the biggest users and in comparison export small amounts. Thinking on it..sustainable prolly isn't a good word to describe..especially if the guano has taken a long time to build up on the rocks..then having a boom as long ago as 170 years. Good look Lead.

I once grew a shit ton of comfrey with the idea of using it as a fertilizer. Never got around to it, since moved and didn't take any of the plants with me and now have no idea whether it works well or not. The plants themselves grow gangbusters! Could get a decent harvest of leaves quite quickly.
Not to derail this thread, but your mention of seabirds being in danger reminded me of this.
Very sad. I really hope the harvesting of guano does not further impact the breeding sites of these birds, although I suspect it probably does.
Insect frass WOW!Insect poop.
Insect Frass, Another source of pk, low in N.

Man that sucks ass. Seriously fucked up. The hype of how you need to pk boost out the ass does not help. Many cases it is screwing the whole balance up. "Toxic rescue growing" approach to things.
Ya man not sure how invasive the process is..been reading otherwise..but that could be misinfo.
