I wasted minutes of my life reading the first 5 pages. One of the stupider and more useless threads going. All of these ideals based on nothing.
Buddhist monks who devote themselves to not harming anyone, eat honey. Are you not going to eat food from your vegetable garden because worms shit in the ground? I have a friend with chickens who throws the shit from the ground into her composter and spreads it around. If a chicken walks through her veggie garden and takes a shit, will a vegan not eat the vegetables?
Dumbest thread I've read in a long time. Props.
FWIW, i'm on my fourth organic grow , compost teas, mycchos, diotomic hummus, the whole 9 yards and I'm not seeing any radical difference in bud quality over properly grown chem ferts. The screw up factor for organics is lower and it's easier to make good weed, but I'm not seeing a difference in ash color, flavor or smoothness.
Sounds more like religion and less like facts.
A good grower can grow superb weed with chemicals and a bad grower can screw up a veganics or organics grow. I'm giving organics two more grows with a familiar strain until I make a decision. Veg time is longer, yields are smaller. Smoke is nice, but so far , not different enough for me to be sold that it "tastes better and chem ferts have a chemmy taste."
I read that enough that I set out to see for myself. So far, it's easier, but not better.
Would aquarium water be usable in the vegan ideology?
Do Vegans eat fish? Im sure you will find some that will inevitably find some kind of reasoning to.
I think we should use common sense here. (I wasn't specifically saying u Sea, im just sayin im sure u would have fish, and fish shit im sure isnt Vegan)

This made me smile. I tried a vegetarian stint for over a year (this girl from Berkeley was SUPER hot...lol), and I just couldn't give up the occasional trip for sushi. I was informed that I was a vegaquarian...

For centuries, famine and starvation were common. Life expectancy was low and most farmers barely got by . Subsistence living.
The revolution? Fertilizer!
I used to have an article written by a Nobel laureate who dedicated his life to improving farming to end starvation. His observation was that in order to end hunger, organics are not an option and that kind of growing is a privilege of the rich.
Overuse of pesticide doesn't kill microbes on contact. It feeds them so much they overpopulate and consume everything in the soil then die. Just like people.
Compared to most humans on this planet, I'm filthy rich able to buy Peruvian bat guano and diatomic humus for $$$$ a gallon.
Yeah, my home grown tomatoes taste better! I can grow varieties than don't last on a shelf and can't handle being shipped. Yellow stripe and heirloom ! Farmers supplying supermarkets don't have that privilege. They breed tomatoes to survive shipping and storage but taste is lacking. If you grew the
Strain of tomato they use it would still taste like shit.
I've been landscaping organically for a decade because it's less work.
But if I lived in Africa and had to feed my kids off a small plot, I would be using ferts.
But since I'm a privileged American making more in a week than most humans make I'm a year, I can afford the luxury of organics.
When people get all religious about saving the planet with me and ask me what I am doing. I just tell them I don't have kids.
Hey , Mormons believe a god spoke to them from a hat. People believe a lot of things . The good of Growing organically indoors is neutralized by electrical consumption, petroleum based product containers, plastics and toxic bulb waste.
Oh, but it's organic.
I'm not on a high horse but if you want to take that viewpoint, just being alive is destroying the planet. Compared to the electricity we use and the water we flush and the gas we consume, a bottle of ferts used by pot growers is small change.
And yes, I grow organically but just don't buy into all the emotional ideology. It's just pride.
Link to company? :)On a side note, my company is currently working on a deal with the country of Ethiopia, to get compost tea brewers and other organic amendments into their fields.
Bubble have u looked into any Vegan sources of silica? I saw u had mentioned that earlier in the posts, and just wondered if you ever tried to source it somewhere different then bottles.
The more I think about it (and oddly enough I think alot about what people say on the farm from day to day) the more I see what a struggle anyone wanting to go vegan and grow vegan would be.
I think more than likely people would just have to resort to what jaykush (from icmag, Ive looked at your posts, head nod to ya.) does and grow there own.
I dont know what I was clicking on but I ran into a site that was stating what products were kosher to eat...and this was religion related, that religion has been around for centuries and hence has an established view of what is kosher. But so many products show up you really gotta watch whats going on, this is your job if your going to want to take this specific path.
What Jay is doing is woefully inadaquit, it has serious shortcomings. There's no promotion, no hype, no mention of a revolutionary way of growing, no kewl name, no book deal, no oaksterdam degree, it will never work....he he.......shredder
He's just talking shit. lol
Haters gotta hate.
Dextr0, how about just using silicaceous sands and letting the soil food web do its thing? Type can be roughly determined using two tests, vinegar (will make calcareous substances fizzle big time, lots of fun) and visual using a loupe of at least 10x magnification--silicaceous sand particles tend to be very sharply pointed, which is why it's a terrible idea to use silicate sand as a substrate if you're housing SHARKS, especially shark pups. Abrades their skin, infection sets in and they die.
