Where do you dump your used nutes?

[tomasinho]

I am currently growing in hydro and I have a question for all the hydro growers out there. Where is a good place to dump used nutes that is safe for the environment? Where do you dump your nutes? I am actually thinking about going back to soil because I feel like I am not doing good for the environment everytime I dump my nutes when I change my resevoir. Am I wrong in my thinking? Is there a place to put the nutes that wont fuck up the water? I heard that many people just flush down the tub - is this safe for our water supply?

down the drain of the tub. Nutes are GREAT for the environment. dump them outside if you want to really help shit grow.

Isnt all the excess fertilizer harmful to the environment and bad for the water supply or am I trippin?

Plant some roses in your garden and pour the water in the soil. They'll love it and you'll have a million roses and no worries about weed smells anymore, lol.

Yes, very bad. Some bodies of water would be damaged. Excess fertilizer can cause algae blooms which can harm the ecosystem.

Sorry I had to stop laughing at some of the replies.

Look you ingest the plant youâ??re growing right, you either smoke it or you use in food.

So if it does not harm you and it does not then don't think the used nutrients are a problem. They are just minerals found in nature everywhere but come from other sources, they are still minerals.

If you have plants around your house in the ground then water them with your discard nutrients. Water your grass with them or you can just toss them down the toilet is fine too. ALL waste water in the USA is process so don't worry about that. It's illegal for them to just dump it in the ocean or anything like that. (Not that they probably don't do it, but that's not your fault)

YOU are doing nothing wrong or anything that will harm the planet except but show the gov that you can care for your own medical needs with no help or interference from them.

That's how I look at it anyway.

Well, what I think I might do is plant more flowers or maybe even a crop of some type outside. I dont have a huge area but whatever. I just have been thinking about algae blooms and this very polluted ocean that I live near and wonder if I am doing something that might fuck it up. Maybe I have been watching too much Al Gore but I dont want to pollute any more than is absolutly necessary.

I scratch my head on this. . . would used nuts be any worse then human poo? Toliet no doubt if you are worried, i do like the idea about pouring it into the rose bushes, think I'll try that on my next water change. If not I'll just pour it into the grass on the yard and let the grass catch a meal. I really can't find a reason it would be bad at all to put nuts into the word again. . .

I've thought about catching rain water and using that in my hydro, anyone try that before? Bad idea or no? Suggestions welcome
