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?

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.
