wow, great thread, I do agree with letting nature do it's own thing. It has a lil bit of experience imho
.
anyway, a penny for your thoughts.
I will be starting my new grow soon, and due to the rotation of earth, it will have be indoors, I've been really wanting to go organic. I've been thinking about it, and yes, people know alot about plants and nutrients, and we've learned alot in the last 20 years. However, we should not be arrogant and think we've learned everything there is to know about how nature works. We've thought we knew it all so many time in the past and been proven wrong that it's ludacris to make that assumption. (
AND BEFORE THE RIOT STARTS, I'm not saying that anybody on this site feels that way, or makes statements to that effect, although some nutrient company spokesman probably do). My point is, yes N and P and enzymes and dif. boosters and minerals and all that do affect the plants. It could, however, be dangerous to assume it's that simple, for all we know there could be all types of proccesses going on that humans haven't found yet.
okay, sorry about the rant but i've been thinking about it for a while.
well, what I was wondering your opinion about is with my indoor grow i'm planning to do a setup, in soil, but with a feeding system that uses pvc pipes to transfer water to the plants, but the water would be filtered through active compost, therefore releasing all the nutrients in the compost. And also because the compost is continually compsting, it is creating nutrients throughout the entire grow. I may and probably use some N and P (I have espoma if anyone has any thoughts about the brand, says it's organic) but only to supplement whats in the compost already.
The system could be modified (and possibly work better) in a larger outdoor system.
I will start a journal when it gets under way, just wanted to know your thoughts.
