Organic Marijuana Growing

One of the more popular reasons to consider using organic marijuana fertilizers? instead of chemical marijuana fertilizers? is that - given a properly composed - there is a greatly reduced chance that you will burn your marijuana plants.

Burn = too much marijuana fertilizer

When marijuana plants are fed organic fertilizer they take in the nutrients they need while leaving the rest in the soil. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t burn with organic marijuana fertilizer. If you use too much, especially fertilizers like blood meal, you can burn your marijuana plants just as badly as with chemical marijuana fertilizers.

Organic marijuana fertilizers are much harder to flush.

Additionally, organic fertilizers are broken down slowly in the soil by microorganisms, which ensures a steady supply of nutrients to your marijuana plants; also, lots of soil microorganisms are good for the soil and consequently, your cannabis plants as well.

Beyond the issues of soil chemistry and nutrient uptake, there is little question that using organic substances are better for the environment, even when growing marijuana indoors? Organic marijuaan fertilizers - blood and bone meal, fish emulsion, manure, worm castings - are renewable.

Petroleum, which the vast majority of chemical marijuana fertilizers are synthesized from, is not.

For the outdoor marijuana grower? choice of marijuana fertilizer has an even more profound effect. Successful outdoor marijuana growing is closely linked with the health of the soil. Chemical marijuana fertilizers, as mentioned, have an adverse effect on soil life, which decreases the biodiversity and overall health of the soil. Chemicals are also far more soluble than organics, and are often washed away with rain or a too-heavy watering. Not only does this not help your marijuana plant, it also causes a potential pollution problem - for instance, toxic algae blooms in lakes and ponds are often linked with fertilizer run-off from lawns.

Organics are not without their drawbacks especially for the indoor marijuana grower. Some organic marijuana fertilizers, fish emulsion in particular, have an odor that may offend delicate noses.
