I have been doing Coco drain to waste for a while indoors now. I want to take at least a couple shots at organic. Outdoors with veggies, shrubs, trees and such I have just top fed with my own compost and sometimes store bought. That and a small aquaponic herb garden (great white, fish poop and compost tea occasionally) are all of my organic experience. Both were pretty basic with little understanding of organics. Results are adequate.
I have a few concerns that have been holding me back from trying an indoor organic grow. If someone could offer some advice from experience it would be much appreciated.
multiple 600hps grow, two flower tents. One 8 1/2 ft tall. One 6 1/2 ft tall.
1. I am worried about bringing harmful insects into my room.
- Is pest control difficult indoors with soil and organically?
- Are there good soil less organic options?
- Is there a soil that will be less likely to carry in pests upon arrival to the room?
2. I have heard that plants become dependent on chemical feeding over time.
-If I have kept mothers in coco with non organic feedings and pest control will those cuttings do well grown organically?
-Am I better off just planting fem seeds, organic from birth as a one time grow with a little variety?
3. Can you recommend some good reading on the matter? ..as prep to this organic grow that I am hoping to do in the future.. Something that would give me just enough info to produce a decent crop. i see subcool rec'd often...
Thanks
