Don’t shit on my thread. We have 6 pages over 12 hours that started with me bashing miracle grow, the miracle grow police bashing me, the riu community bashing me, questions about the paternity of my children, rehashed the merits of human shit and piss as fertilizer on both earth and Martian soil….. what more do you want?

I give the worst advice, I water without phing, I feed when I feel like the plant wants it and don't care about pushing it to its limits. I don't give a fuck I can grow a dank ass plant in a cup better than most people can grow with strict ass regiments pushin their bitches to the limit. When I smoke a joint my ash isn't all black and shit it just flys in the wind like the snow.

YEEET YEET skeet all over this shit thread.

I never PH either. I PH my tap water all the time because I have a hot tub. I have never had a PH problem. When I was grew in the late 90s/early 2000s it wasn't even a thing. We just planted them in coir and gave them Ionic A/B, it always worked. In these more enlightened times I would touch coco coir, it is seriously bad for the environment.

I throw my coco in the trash after each run.

How so? Coconuts just rot if not processed right? Fill me in.

I live in Northern Europe. Coconuts don't grow here. In order for Coco Coir to be used here it has to be shipped across the planet. This is not sustainable, especially when there is an abundance of locally, or at least in the same country, produced mediums available. There are plenty of reusable mediums too.

Don't even get me started on Bat and Bird Guano, that stuff should be banned outright.

Shipping coco across the country should be the least of your concerns. Saying it's seriously bad for the environment is like saying cereal is seriously bad for the environment. How dare they ship cereal to your supermarket...

Why ship something anywhere when you don't have to? I am not a fan of using an imported product when there is a perfectly acceptable alternative made in your own country. It is bad for the environment, a waste of resources and bad for the economy. But if people want to use it, then that is fine by me. I choose not too.

They destroy ancient seabird colonies to get it and even if it is sourced ethically then it is still a commodity that doesn't need to be used or shipped anywhere. I'm in the UK and all of the consumable products I use in my grow are made here. If you want to use bird shit then give Chicken manure a go. The Wife uses it on her fruit and veg, it's great stuff.

I am a bit of a closet environmentalist. I have stopped using peat too.
