Greetings,
This thread might be a little strange to some people. My wife and I just had a little girl. Irie Satya Pearce was born on 3/18/17. We decided to have a lotus birth which is when the umbilical chord is left in tact and the placenta is washed and salted with herbs and spices. The chord will let go from the belly button on its own a few days after birth. While studying the options of what to do with the organ I discovered that some people plant it with a tree because it has a high nutrient content and makes an excellent fertilizer. Being an organic cannabis farmer this got me thinking, hmmmmm..... After some more reading it seems that some people cook and dry their placenta, grind it into powder and make capsules to take internally like a medicine. This got me thinking, hmmmmmm...... fertilizer...... powder, plants. Sounds right to me. Although I won't be burying the placenta raw in my potted indoor plants like some do outdoors in their garden or under a tree I thought about drying, grinding into powder and mixing it into the soil of my next grow - green crack x mystery strain. Has anyone tried this and if so how did it work out? Does anyone know a rough estimate of what npk ratio this will achieve? Will it conflict with any nutes that come with new bags of soil ie worm castings or compost? Should I start with unfertilized soil because of the high nutrient content in the placenta and umbilical chord? Some people use placenta as medicine and some people use it as fertilizer so I thought it would be very special for my wife and I to use it as fertilizer to grow some good medicine. Thanks for reading, and answering. Let me know your thoughts and please no haters or negativity I know it could seem gross to some of you.
