Wow, I forgot all about this thread!

And yeah, I've found some of that stuff, but I've yet to find a very good deal on it. At my local stores, where it's available, it was going for something like $10 for 2 liters... AND it was already pre-diluted, making it tough to spread out over a longer period of time. That's a little expensive for my tastes, even though I know it's good to have on hand.

I never did purchase the bags of castings that I was thinking about trying as a medium. It's still something that I'd like to try in the future, but from what I've gathered from the great people of Cann.com, it will take some patience and experimentation to get it right. Thanks for the background info on teas, though. I'm certainly well on my way to finding just the right compromise between biological additives and organic teas to make my plants healthy and happy. I've made plenty of mistakes down the road, but I'm getting much more comfortable with the whole process.

And thanks again to everyone who responded! :thumbsup:
Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . Worm castings as growing medium? I have the opportunity to get my hands on a sizable amount of weed-free worm castings, well over 100lbs if I desire, and I was curious if anyone has ever used a casting/perlite-only mix to grow their plants? I always have some castings on hand to add to my soil mix, but I've never tried substituting it alone for all other organic matter. Would this be too "hot" even for plants well into veg? If anyone has ever done this, please let me know how it worked out for you. Include, if possible, Rating: 5
