According to JADAM principles, it has the best possible balance of nutrients and minerals..................it's how nature does it.Cannabis meal, sort of like alfalfa meal but ground up cannabis leaves from pruning? Alfalfa meal is 2.5-0.5-2.5
Oak leaves are maybe half that I read. Anyone know what cannabis leaves are or do this?

Yeah go figure! For those with worms in their growing medium, it's free green organic material that keeps them happy, among hundreds of thousands of other species of life including the fungal variety. And it's green material that you grew indoors so no worries about introducing nasties into your grow. Outdoor stuff goes into the worm bin though, just in case.Cannabis has everything cannabis needs...go figure. The greener it is the better. I feed all the trims, fan leaves, and such to my worms but you can also just throw them into recycling soil directly. It will disappear in a matter of weeks.
Yea. You should check out a no till grow. Basically you are trying to simulate the forest. You got a soil rich in nutrients, with living things like worms, you plant your weed and when harvest comes you reuse the plant as a mulch. Basically you keep mulching forever and that's how you maintain and nourish the soil.What about the stems? Are they recyclable?
I'm just starting to do the organic thing. If like to do no till but I live in a condo and I don't have anywhere for a worm or compost bin. I've been wondering if I should just leave the fallen leaves in the pot.Yea. You should check out a no till grow. Basically you are trying to simulate the forest.

Yes you can, they will decompose and nourish the soil.I'm just starting to do the organic thing. If like to do no till but I live in a condo and I don't have anywhere for a worm or compost bin. I've been wondering if I should just leave the fallen leaves in the pot.
Cool, and could I mix leaves and stems in a tote with ewc to break down? I mean, is that a way it can be done?Yes you can, they will decompose and nourish the soil.
Cool man, thanks!Yea, you can use only leaves as some kind of mulch or you can let the leaves decompose first, I got my leaves in a bag mixed with some compost, I'll use them as mulch in the next few weeks.
You should check out this man's grow journal, even if you are not doing a no till grow, it will give you an idea of what you can use as mulch, like the leaves and stems.
I'm in a small one bedroom apartment for the past year+ and I have a few worm bins going. Obviously I don't know your situation, but hopefully you could fit a tote in a closet somewhere if you did want to take on the endeavor. Super low maintenance once it's up and running too.I'm just starting to do the organic thing. If like to do no till but I live in a condo and I don't have anywhere for a worm or compost bin.

Oh yea, I got room inside for a tote, I just can't keep anything outside. I wasn't sure you could keep that indoors. I started reading through that journal and I find it very interesting. No amendments, top dressing, just cover crop, and mulching trim from earlier harvest. I'm just doing top dressing on ffhf. I thought that was cool. Now I wanna do no till.

Wish you the best going down the organic path though and nothing but healthy plants in the future for you.
