I currently use Advanced Nutrients grow micro bloom in a Coco/perlite/vermiculite 40-30-30 mixture. For years of essentially trial and error i have settled on this feeding system. All my rooms have at least one HID in them. My primary concern is the damage that my current grow system has on the environment. Should I be worried about my HID lamps and Chemical ferts? my watt metre tells me the number of kg of C02 i have used over the years and trust me - its pretty sickening to think. I employ the drain to waste system and this cant be helping much either. My latest idea is too start a miniature grow which is designed to be enviromentally friendly + a relatively high rate of productivity. LEDs are organic feeds come to mind - but i lack experience in either of these subjects.
Thank you. Here are several threads I think you might find very useful. After twenty-something years of growing with chemical fertilizers I got turned on to organic gardening and couldn't be happier. To get an idea of what organic gardening can do, take a look at the link in my signature - Jerry's Organic Obsession. Organic gardening is as easy as it gets and yet super effective. Once a quality organic soil has been constructed its simply a matter of keeping it moist with plain old water. We don't need to check or adjust pH. We don't need to flush. The quality of our flowers is sublime. I'm not talking about bottled store bought "kind of organics" - I'm talking about a real, living soil. It can't hurt to take a look! http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-m...door-gardening-without-bottled-nutrients.html http://forum.grasscity.com/organic-growing/1116550-easy-organic-soil-mix-beginners.html Hope to see you around. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. J
