Many of the products available for a variety of these cultivation techniques purport to be organic, using phrasing like ‘derived from organic materials’ or ‘contains all-natural ingredients’. These products are certainly capable of contributing to an ample harvest. However, using organic nutrients as a separate entity from a grow medium itself is far from natural, no matter the merit of any claims made.

Plants, including cannabis, evolved specific strategies for prosperity long before humans intervened. These strategies are based on utilizing nutrients made available via organisms found in the soil around their roots, not aqueous nutrients that abuse roots with blitzkrieg force-feedings.

This is why the best organic nutrients for cannabis are the ones contained in a healthy soil mix from the start. A complementary water-only approach thus remains about as close to nature as you can get with an indoor garden. The only role you need to fill is one of a rain cloud.

The vast array of marine life hidden throughout the oceans of the world is invaluable to the sustenance of land-based ecosystems and the same is true in regard to soil microbes. Bacteria and fungi are just a few classifications of organisms that share intimate relationships with the plants we depend on, knowing how to maintain their populations is key to maximizing the results of an organic crop.

Aside from the inherent advantages to yield quality, starting with a soil grow is a great way for beginners to get in touch with the plant. The less variables new gardeners have to control, the better their chances of success and the richer the learning experience is in regard to the fundamentals of growing.

With nutritional requirements fulfilled by a quality soil mix, a successful garden is dependant on just a few other vital factors: air, water, light, dark, and a seed (or clone). Horticultural grow tents are a great way to create an ideal environment for your garden if you don’t have a spare room!

It doesn’t take a veteran cannabis aficionado to tell the difference between a synthetic and organic crop. Despite the millions upon millions of bacteria, rampant fungal growth, and a whole host of other micro-critters…cannabis grown with organic soil is undoubtedly the cleanest flower there is!

Certain jurisdictions-most recently Washington D.C.-have legalized cannabis possession and use, but not its sale. Elsewhere, in states such as Colorado or Washington, those with a disability may have difficulty traveling to a recreational shop or medical dispensary.

In an effort to emphasize legal limitations, authorities in Washington D.C. have adopted a new motto: ‘Home use. Home grown’. In many cases well outside our nation’s capital, this suggestion offers the best solution for access to safe medicine. A simple in-home garden can provide a steady supply of cannabis and organic methods produce the highest quality yields.

Without the extended flowering time of classics such as Durban Poison, Chocolope, or Super Lemon Haze, the unique soaring sativa effect simply cannot be achieved. When it’s time to harvest, uplifting notes of citrus and pine will make the bit of extra time well worth the wait.

Cannabis nutrients found in stores are certainly an option and many are effective when applied to specific situations. The cannabis plant however, has a span of nutritive preferences between its two primary subspecies (indica and sativa). Choosing individual components as needed across an entire grow cycle, especially one with different varieties, quickly becomes cumbersome. The best way to achieve the optimal organic harvest is to carefully select a soil mix containing everything cannabis needs from the start.

My rival project was outfit with the works: advanced LED lighting panels, digital timers, inline fans, carbon filters, and a soil medium meant to be used in conjunction with a highly specific nutrient regimen. I monitored everything incessantly, imagining myself as some scientific prodigy with every gadget on the market.

I now know the untimely end of that project was inevitable. My convoluted setup collapsed under the weight of its own sophistication. No single error was to blame, rather it was the cascading failures of many unnecessary measures which ultimately doomed my crop. The amount of money I’d spent was heinous, and the result was sadly nonexistent.

Today I look back on that experience and laugh. It took the serendipitous discovery of Ideal 420 Soil to rekindle my gardening motivation, but I’ve since joined the ranks of the many my friend spoke of: those who swear by the Keep-It-Simple method. Ideal 420 Soil is now my blend of choice-producing flowers like it was developed especially for us KIS loyalists.
