WORMIES
By Calibuzz - 30 year grower.
Ever heard of RED WORMS? No? Then you will want to read this.
"Red worms are the bomb," when one is an eco-concious indoor gardener; proud indoor growers who do their very best to make their indoor grow environments (IGE) much like,"the great outdoors": bright broad spectrum photon emissions, clean water delivered above and below, good fresh soil, and a clear, circulating, atmosphere - maintaining a benificial mean tempurature. In a great grow room, all of the above listed attributes are in balence - a hard job. Pat yourself on the back my indoor friends!
"Since you obviously care so much - shall we take the organic idea a step further?"
As a thirty year grower, I noticed how well outdoor plants do in great soil. If one has ever pulled up a naturally grown outdoor plant - in good soil - one often finds a little special friend in the root ball: THE WORM.
Worms move underground; they un-compact soil, and airate the soil. Worms move nutrients around, bringing new soil to the existing roots - where nutrients are inevitably depleated. Worms digest decaying organics and - in digestion - produce worm turds full of vital nutrients your roots will absorb. Worms even eat rotten roots on your plant, without harming the living parts (if you've accidentally over-watered your compacted soil...ooops!). Worms may cure root rot and more...and the wiggly critters are just fun to raise and to use.
The one natural vital farmer lacking in the indoor grow room is: "The Helpful Worm." The gardener's goal is creating a balenced ecosystem, and adding farm-raised Red Worms to your pots is another step in the grower's goal to mimic the harmonius balance found in nature.
It should be noted: indoor watering created soil compaction. Soil compaction is bad because compaction leads to water retention, difficulty in root production and growth, deleterious bacterial growth and molds and fungi, and even salt retention - which may bake cannibus plants roots, xylem, and floem - leading to illness and death.
It should be noted: A well fed plant that gets plenty of natural nutrients: grow better, quicker, healthier, and produce bigger better flowers. Nice.

RED WORM USE
- Order Red Worms off the net. Gurneys Seed is a good place. The worms ship in lots, like 500. http://gurneys.com/default.asp?eid=081506&sid=506238&gclid=CNDx-tW236sCFQoZQgodymx6Nw
- When they arrive (the cool months) have a compost bucket set up.
- Add 3-4 worms to 1 gallon plants; Add 10-15 worms to five gallon plants; Add 25-30 worms to a 10 gallon pot.
- Put the rest in the compost bucket for later.
- Your done. They will do the rest.
