No! Lol don’t do that
1:1:1 peat/perlite (or rice hulls, or pumice) /humus (compost or castings)

Kiss method says straight alfalfa whole way through cut 50/50 is okay but only use what is handy (vermiculite for me)

not sure on alfalfa being too hot, most of the good things I hear about it are in seedling through veg. And the person on here growing in straight cow dung, that has to be hotter.

Probably try 50/50 first go if that doesn’t work I will cut back if it does, then try a little more

maybe I’m wrong, but I’m gonna give it a try, I got a bunch of random seeds so nothing is lost and maybe some gain.

Don’t think I can grab some for a few days at least, so gonna do a little more research

Crazy,, never heard of this
What can I say; try it out and let us know how it goes

bone meal it disolve very slow in soil and it doesnt burn plant like manures and high nitrogen organic fertilizer , I read that better to add 1 pound per 10 square in garden soil , wood ash high in potassium but it may make the soil ph more alkaline and cannabis going well with slighlty acidic soil , but the good side its a natural pesticide against some pests , for K I prefer to use sheep manure with adding liquid kelp meal frequently , and may it work half wood ash + half sheep manure for the K with little boost of small potassium ratio of kelp with its rich micro nuts

Blood meal won’t burn your plant but too much could cause Nitrogen deficiency

Well I backed off using the ground alfalfa pellets as part of the medium. I am using them as part of an aerated tea, 1 tablespoon Mollasses, 1 tablespoon worm castings and 1 tablespoon ground up alfalfa pellets per gallon. Hit them with that once a week. Aerate for 48 hours or so usually three gallons at a time and give my 2 gallon pots 30 ounces each.
