Certified Organic Grows
Organic certification is done through the United Stated Department of Agriculture (a federal entity, btw). Actual certification is done by NOP: National Organic Program thru the USDA. And not even every state is able to be organicly certified.. In michigan its not even an option... yet.
But, if you do live in a state where the NOP has offices, and does do field testing, you obviously cant tell them you are going to grow pot.. So lets pretend you are growing tomatoes... lots of people do this, nothing unusual. They come out, test the soil, the water, the nutrients and so on.. You still arn't certified. It can take up to 3 years in some cases to be certified 100% organic. If your previous outdoor crop used chemical fertilizers, you will have to use a neutralizing agent in the soil to rid the chems from the earth.. THIS can take a while.. (years in some cases) Then the good people at NOP will drop by from time to time to do random soil tests, spot checks, ect. If all of the sudden your tomatoes turn into cannabis plants, being a federal agency, they will call in the DEA. Doesn't matter if the state mandated growing legal, federal agencies report to other federal agencies...
You get the idea..
If you really want to let everyone know your crop is organic, just download the logo from the USDA website, and print in on the bag... people will get the idea..:smokin:I am against nature. I don\'t dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can\'t touch with decay.
