1/2 cup of each of those.

I'm not sure about the marine life thing I would have to see the ingredients list...if its a blend of crab, shrimp, and kelp meals then hell yea...but I would need to know lol.

in the Amazon reviews it's stated ;

It states on the back "Not for use in organic crop or food production in California."
California has a habit of being over strict on things tho...I'd have to see the ingredients list to know if i would approve it for my organic production personally. But blend mixes can be used to substitute buying the different ingredients separate...but it's cheaper in the long run to buy them separate.

I personally would not use that product or consider it organic.

Local made compost from a landscape supplier will be higher in nutrient content and microbiology than that bag of wiggle worm and that Charlie's compost. And it'll be like five bucks a bag or cheaper I bet.

Tons of good info here. My girls are really liking the worm tea. So far so good. Just lollipopped them so hopefully they aren't all stressed too much. I think I'm gonna start investing in making my grow room airtight and run CO2. My grow room set up as it is now makes it hard to get my environment perfect . My hardest obstacle is when lights go off, I have no exhaust going or Intake going, due to the fact that I have to black them out so light doesn't enter the room . I have a dehumidifier running during lights out, but no fresh air coming in and no air going out. This could be a a reason I have problems as well. My grow room is actually a small "shed" that is not attached to my home. I need to figure out a way to let fresh air in and out 24/7 without letting light in during their night shift, which is during daylight hours. Due to other issues , I can't have the lights on during the day. That would solve the problem, but my wife doesn't like me to have the lights on during the day when we aren't home. Paranoid about some nothing catching on fire or something idk. Even though it's all Good. So........ any ideas

Airing on the side of being paranoid is definitely the way to be in this business.

I would get a dryer vent installation kit from home depot or wherever. Hook that up to your outside and hook that up to duct work to your fan. There's some kits that have two holes so you can run your in and your out. Just don't run em both at once...pull air out...then bring air in.

The Earth here is black and Ive read in a few places that people associate black soils with depleted soils. Thats another generalization that couldnt be further from the truth.
Yeah.
Black is only an alarm color when looking at compost - those really black ones are mostly just waste-reduced matter, as they went anaerobic way too long during the process and everything volatilized, basically just leaving charcoal left. ;)

Figured I'd update you all since you've helped me so much. Plants are kicking ass so far . Still looking really healthy. I think the worm yea has something to do with it cause nothing has changed except that. It's going to be a must have for now on. Thanks for all the help! I will post some pics of them when lights come on later . I'm about three weeks into flower now.
