HI All! I'm looking for information about organic (indoor) growing. Can anyone recommend any online forums dedicated specifically to organic growing? The forum does not need to be about cannabis. I realise that a number of my questions have to do with organic growing in general, not limited specifically to cannabis. I can apply this knowledge to gardening my vegetable garden as well. Thanks!

Hi there MaxR
I grow as organically as I can given my location, resources etc. I would like to recommend this book to you and to any grower whether you grow organically or not.
this is my go to for 90% of my questions and reference.
well written, bar a few stoner paragraphs, and very encouraging for growing naturally - without all that nasty plastic bottled chemical nutrients.
I have just finished my wormery and next grows organic soil is almost there. You will feel, taste and see The difference.

I kinda feel like you done already found the best forum for any buzz related info & feel a little face slapped that you start out with a request for direction to another site....Comment

Well then we're happy to have ya!
Honestly I believe that there are several growers right here who can help ya & their expertise isn't limited to cannabis.
& yer quite welcome! How did it turn out? -
Thanks, JDU! Well, for starters the plants didn't die before harvest! I was sure they would. Guess that's why they call it weed! Not a huge yield - microgrow, 2 gallon pots, dwarf low flier - but nice nonetheless! Beautiful smell and nice buzz. Can't wait for crop number 2!

The reference I suggested is not a website, it a book. Groweedeasy is just about the best cannabis related site out there. I was with 420Magazine when I switched to this site.
I am sorry that you feel as though I have slapped you in the face. This is not my intention to you nor to anyone on this site, and I apologize to any reader who had taken it so.
My reference to the book โTrue Living Organicsโ is not just for MaxR; It is for all readers. This book is a great source of information for anyone growing and for those In particularl who wish to go organic.
please excuse any offence, snobbery is not my style. ๐

I think he was directing comment to OP not you. It is kinda weird he didnt ask for help here and asked for us to find him another site for him rather than looking himself. There are many people here that do organics and yet he didnt ask that question which is kinda rude IMO. But im an asshole so...Dont think it had anything to do with your response. -
No no not you Bluberrygirl lol. & I wasnt even meaning to sound harsh even though it was just as Tersky said- kinda odd to not ask us. I kinda chuckled to myself & wondered if he goes to a restaurant & asks the hostess if she knows a good place to eat hahaha.Last edited by JDU; 09-27-2020, 11:54 PM. -
Sorry, Tersky, maybe I wasn't clear enough. I'm not looking for another weed forum. I like this one! I'm looking for organic gardening/growing forum resources *not exclusive to cannabis. I don't think people here want to listen to my questions about kale. Peace!

The KIS organics podcast is great, https://www.kisorganics.com/pages/podcast
search anything Jeff Lowenfels, Clackamas Coot, Build-a-soil or sustainable agriculture.
If your local university has an agricultural extension, they are always a tremendous resource for veggies.
No dedicated forum that I use, but I'm sure they exist.Comment

This lady is fully organic but not something id try indoors..soil from my veg waste compost(all kinds of bugs and stuff in there) plus i put no perlite in it so its kinda like concrete..have to water from the bottom as in soak. Fresh fish shit from my pond(not a chance this stinky stuff is coming in the house) like fu&king nasty! And rain water(mosquito larvae and all). I could do this indoors but i would have a variety of bugs in the house, it would smell like a swamp, and i would have mosquitoes buzzing around the house in the winter.. nope. I'll stick to coco/perlite and good nutes for my indoor grows.Shappel S3000 3.5x6x6' ice hut

MaxR there is a lot of good info out there at your finger tips, just google building organic soil.Comment

Good one homegrown I wouldn't take that shit in my house either lol. I grow inside with a product from the green sunshine co called earth dust it's a premix organic soil amendment then you top dress a couple times. This is my 1st go round with it so I don't swear by it but so far so good. Another site I found that has a similar product is KIS organics I get my potassium silicate and aloe flakes from these guys, and then I started watching some videos from the soil king. Just a couple other ideas for ya
I also think it's funny to go to a forum and ask where to find a forum probably didn't know that we're a big diverse group of growers or maybe I should say a bunch of misfits lol I know enough about you guys to know I'm not the only one here one step from bat guano crazy.

I was just making it a joke, that's what I do. Once someone pointed it out I had to dig in lol.
Check out the guys over at KIS organic they are about everything organic. They do podcasts and have a bunch of articles on growing so they might have a forum as well. I buy a few things from them but I don't know much about them... good luck on your adventure sir

Thank you everyone for your replies. I'm sorry some of you were offended. That was not my intention. This is my go-to forum and I credit it with saving my first grow last year, so a heartfelt collective thank you to all, particularly those of you on this thread who helped me in the past ๐ !
I'll clarify and reword my original question as I was not as clear as I'd intended:
>>>I'm looking for a web forum that focuses on organic home gardening not exclusively for cannabis but garden vegetables as well.<<<
I figured that me asking about carrots and such here would not be welcome.
Questions like: "Why did our lettuce not come up this year?" "How can I grow organic vegetables indoors during winter?" That sort of thing.
---> Organic gardening/growing forum resources not exclusive to cannabis.
I figured there are enough people in here with interest in organic farming that might have interests in growing organic food maybe as well?
I googled looking for forums and was overwhelmed by what I found and not all applied to me so thought to reach out here for tips.
Was it rude for me to ask in this forum for leads on a different forum not focused on cannabis? I didn't think so. Sorry if I was wrong.
Anyhow, no slight intended. Hopefully no hard feelings over the misunderstanding.... I'll word things more clearly next time. Thanks again for saving my first grow! Peace and thank you! โฎโ๐Last edited by MaxR; 09-28-2020, 10:13 PM.Comment

One of my favorite home gardening (veggie) techniques is the "square foot gardening". It teaches you how to maximize output, crop plan, crop rotation and more. Best of all, it doesn't take much space to start or produce great food. Check it out - https://squarefootgardening.orgOriginally posted by MaxR View PostComment

Cool! Now I know why my wife did that to the garden. In the KIS Organic Blog that MeEasy mentioned, I saw a scientific research paper on this: https://www.kisorganics.com/blogs/ne...annabis-sativa -
Good website and I do remember reading that paper when it came out. My commercial experience has been primarily bed grow, 5 to 6 plants per rolling bed, 100 beds per room. All the same strain so feeding was a breeze, didn't need different formulas in the same room. Great link, thanks for sharing.
