One persons "heavy metals" is the next persons "trace elements".

Actually look at what fertilizers are used in your basic food production and you will not be so concerned about your smoke. But I do not worry too much about vegetable contamination.

Lol'ing at one persons heavy metals is anothers trace elements... Signature worthy for sure.

Some metals exisy in an organic form so not as scary as people like to make out plus the 30 or so reactions that take place between the element that absorbed by the roots to its final use means it rarely keeps its original form. Plants love a bit of copper, iron and many other metals as the same reason we might eat meat for its iron content, not saying i could eat an iron bar or my plant can chew nails as that type of iron is in a different form or arangement.

MG no good. Now if they make a organic cannabis specific nute i would give it a shot.


Edit: Tends to give more plants n toxicity vs. other nutrients. I used it for years. Even with molasses and kelp the taste and smell isn't top quality at all.(IMO). I like my water brown not blue.

Miracle grow works just fine if you dial it in, run a few grows make the adjustments. Rome was not built in a night just a question if you have the time to stick with it.

Ions.
That is my favorite word.
I will have to do more research for sure.
I do try to stick to items that are meant for veggies just because it sounds safer.

Almost 3 years ago I found this site and up to that fateful day had never heard of Fox Farm soils or nutrients and being the fickle consumer I am I thought more expensive would equal better plants and I had been a M.G user for decades up to that point and I guess what I found out was ..............it's the old six of one half dozen of the other it really doesn't matter ...its what ever you're comfortable using !

I have used a few pre made soils and I have to admit i like fox farms ocean forrest.
For indoor its not too spendy and I dont really want to buy each ingrediant seperatly to mix n cook my own soil.
rather just buy a few bags here n there.
Im lazy and storage space is limited.

"Iron enriched" foods actually have real iron filings in them. So you probably have actually eaten an iron bar.

I have to say the reason i worry about heavy metals is probably from being a painter and dealing with lead base paint.
Its just something thathas been pounded into my head.
Plus i would feel like shit if i gave someone cancer.
However im sure it is not as big a problem as i make it in my head.

The iron in blood is different to the iron in plants and you might be right about iron enrichment but i stay away from the fortified foods for the ones that have it naturally.

Well MG and a ton of other chemical nutrients seem to work just fine for me.

Although my neighbor just fell over dead from eating her potatoes fertilised with Miracle Gro. Tragic at best.

NO! This Cannot Be !

Marijuana needs really special stuff that costs lots of $ to do it correctly.

Weed growers are generally the most stupid people on earth. They just want to get high and don't have the first notion of any botanical fact.

You should make that your signature..

So there you have it... Heavy metals in organic form are okay. It's only a problem when synthetic! Only cognitive dissonance could cause this type of reasoning?
