MJ Mulch

[bedrockbob]

So what your saying is that hemp and Mj are not the same plant species. And it takes tons of hemp to make mulch.

Ok Bob :wtf:

No dude. I am saying dont use the old stems and leaves from your previous grow in your buckets. BAD IDEA.

They are the same species but are very ovliously CULTIVATED DIFFERENTLY. Thus the DIFFERENCE. Your example of using hemp mulch was on APPLE TREES. It would work great on apple trees BUT NOT IN BUCKETS OF CANNABIS. Because the environment of natural soil and the environment of your growing medium (peat, perlite, vermiculite) IS NOT THE SAME.

MULCH is not COMPOST. You do not use MULCH in buckets of cannabis, nor do you use MULCH when growing hemp. You could however use hemp or cannabis MULCH to grow a fine apple tree! You can use COMPOSTED HEMP in your growing medium, but this would not be "chopped up stems and leaves with a little fertilizer added for binder", nor would it be MULCH.

....GET IT??

If you are going to be a producer of medical cannabis and you are kicking around the idea of chopping up your old trash and introducing it into your buckets of medium then you have a long way to go to square one. Like I said, read any book out there on the subject and ask questions from there.

I agree their is no use to use mulch in your grow room, you are already using prepared soil so, there really is no reason for it, but for your lawn or your flower bed, yeah absolutely. also in our environment pests, diseases and viruses are easy to keep out, usually; so there should be no worrying about this stuff, I have seen grows out door here go for a long time naturally and they still don't have pests or even root problems. it is a sight to see though lol magic bush, I have seen some deer love that area though haha

Good advice.There are natural deer repellents that you can use to keep critters off them.

"I make a mixture of tobacco juice (buy a bag of Beech Nut Chew and soak it in water) and cayenne pepper and put it into a spray bottle.

I spray all around the plant but not actually on them and it seems to keep them away."

"A small infra red trigger and a can of compressed air.
Deer comes near and pssssstttttttt,deer legs it and never comes back"
