Bro, you are better off ordering yourself a pound of worms, starting a bin and you will forever have your own castings tweaked to your own specs.

I have a worm bin started it about 3 maybe 4 weeks ago so. in a few months ill be good but for now gotta buy unfortunatley
My bad bro. You are well on your way then. Main thing when purchasing bagged castings is look for live worms in it. You don't want sterile castings.

Well, depending on how you have it set up you may have bits of partially decomposed food scraps, worm cocoons and some small worms in there aka vermicompost. You can sift that material through some hardware mesh tacked to a wood frame. Then toss the stuff that doesnt sift through back into the bin to further break down.

Do you add dirt to your bin or not really just edibles for them to get more of a pure ewc

No dirt. A handful of coir on occasion. Mostly food scraps, cut up tp rolls for carbon and sprinkle of a blend of organic amendments at feeding time.

to my knowledge the African nightcrawlers aren't really composters though, I mean they do in fact eat (obviously) but from what I've read the redworms make a better EWC, but I could be wrong, after all, I've never used African nightcrawler castings before.
I honestly can't imagine why no manure would be advantageous over manure fed worms... I mean, my wormbin loves the alpaca and rabbit manures I give it.... seems to me i'd prefer worms fed manures... unless of course the manure is chemically altered (antibiotics and such) there are a BUNCH of microbes alive in manures, and especially after the worms get done with them.
Just my thoughts anyways..

well, don't beat yourself up over it, you have a new wormbin, so this is your last purchase of EWC, so just use it, and next time you can have the good stuff.

I've found that everything you could possibly ever want for growing cannabis is available at a good standard plant nursery, I think a lot of times growers overlook the fact that the plant, is a plant. I tell everybody that asks for my advice to simply grow plants, any and all of them, a general understanding on botany will get you very, very, far in this world of cannabis. It's really quite easy to grow good herb. But I think the key is to genuinely love what you do, its why i'm fairly competent at fixing and understanding engines. Because I love to fix them, same with herb, I love to grow plants, so naturally I've gotten fairly competent at that as well. I'm NOT perfect, and I don't know everything, but I do alright. The key is enthusiasm and a thirst for knowledge and improvement. A small piece of advice, off-topic, but that same advice is crucial to relationships also.... just sayin

start with some easy low-light, low-water houseplants, philodendroms (may have misspelled that) are good ones to start, and there are lots of different varieties of those, boston ferns do well if its not too cold or too hot, hmm, begonias can be fun but more challenging... I'd bet if you spent 20 bucks on four different little houseplants, you'd like the way your house/room looks afterwards... just my opinion, but i'm weird like that. Not to mention plants and animals are symbiotic, plants clean the air, so to speak. Now i'm not going to get all mystical on you, and granted in order to see a actual difference in ppm and O2% of the air being broken down on a gas analyzer you'd have to fill your house with plants, but i'm tellin you, they make you feel good, kinda the same feeling you get when you go into your growroom each day. Go try it... plus women love plants...

I bought my house in 2011 and the couple that owned it before me were big big gardeners they had a pond with all kinds of bad ass plants even found 2 lil mj plants but had a kid filled pond it (bad mistake) and rearranged alot of plants amd si si ce I moved in there I been dealing w plants my yard has blue berries apple trees peach trees cherry tree I am sure b7t notnold enpugh to produce yet from what he told me. After we closed on the house I wemt there andnhe was still moving things he smoked a blunt and he smiled and said I am moving to the mountains so I can grow what I like to grow so he was cool I still have his number and we talk he and there. He was a big organic natural person. So he explained what everything needed and best for this and that etc. The backyard was all woods w paths and plantsm the trees were prob 2 foot apart crowded so I got tractors and shit and cut down prob 70 pine trees prob 6 gumball trees and ramdom other ones dug up all stumps and made a huge bond fire last like 7 days straight. And did it.my own way

ah man, you cut down over 75 trees? Well, we disagree on that. You seem like a good guy though.
but don't mind me, i'm a tree-loving kinda guy.
