What poops?

[Gingerbeard]

Buddy Robert has a turtle.
Buddy Junior has reptiles.
I have considered getting myself a small fish tank.
What poops are good poop for growing weed? I mean, other than traditional composted farm animal poops. I seem to recall vegetarian animals make the fertilizers be they bone, blood, or poop. Omnivores and carnivores not so much. Even the crickets BJ keeps for reptile food make a good amount of poop.
Is it worth collecting my neighbors' poops for fertilizer?

[Gingerbeard]

Got motivated waiting on you people to answer.
Carnivore and omnivore poop are no-gos.
Vegetarian poop is a go.
Crickets are vegetarians so they have good poop.

Where do you get enough cricket poop?

[Gingerbeard]

Buy feeder crickets from a reptile store and keep them in a mesh bottom cage with cricket food. Figure a rabbit hutch for crickets.

[homegrown]

HA! Go to a reptile store, and in a low voice, ask the person behind the counter...know where i can get some bug poo?

[homegrown]

Worms make great poop, used to keep them in styrofoam coolers buried in the backyard. I don't think that's an option for you though Gingerbeard. Unless maybe you ask a neighbor if they have any room in their fridge for a medium size tupperwear container.

All poop is good if it is composted correctly. Human poop that is properly treated irrigates crops the world over to great effect.

You'd be better off vitamising the fish and adding the fish meal to your compost than the fish poop.

[Gingerbeard]

Are these the same countries with frequent outbreaks of debilitating gastrointestinal outbreaks? The key words there are 'composted correctly.' Many of the countries that use hupoo (my word) do not compost.

[Bluey]

Human poop doesn't need much composting or treatment to be used safely on crops. They pump the grey water onto crops and it still stinks, no problem.

If growing indoors not recommended, unless you live in Tijuana

The biggest plant I ever saw was growing in a 4 foot deep pile of human waist at a treatment overflow. The trunk was 6" wide, fans were over 12" long, I may have cried when they puled it (took 3 people) with spider buds only. And even worse the older brother (he did find it) took the black plastic garbage bags now full of weed and placed them in the attic on a day that hit near 100*F. When he got home from work it was bags full of mush.

[Gingerbeard]

You pulled a pot plant out of hupoo and it turned to mush? That is especially eewie.

[Gingerbeard]

That's a thing, homegrown with my balcony, I live in about 450ft². I don't have a place to store or compost poop without it getting offensive to myself or the neighbors.
And why are some poops more offensive than others? Rwise if you handed me a bag of bud and told me it was grown in hupoo, I would gag. If you handed me a bag of bud grown in worm poo, I'd be all in.

[OldManGrower]

That sounds suspiciously like speciesism.

[Gingerbeard]

Reverse speciesism. I value other species' poo over my own.

[Rwise]

The worst thing about it is it tasted like shit smells.

Get yourself an aquarium. 20, 30.55. whatever you can handle. keep it freshwater and get you some cool decorations and fish. I think the rule is 1" of fish to every 2 gallons of water or something. Do your bi weekly 20 to 25% water changes and use that to water your plants. It isn't enough to sustain them but there's a whole bio buffet there for them. You have city water so you will have to have a holding bin for your replacement water to let it naturally declorinate beforehand. Actually did this until my stingray died and I removed my aquarium. Plants loved it.

[Gingerbeard]

I understand about the different bionisms and things that are in things like worm and fish tea in soil. Do the same ideas apply to coco?

[Bluey]

Why add compost to coco?

I've tried a few different suppliments in coco and nutes manufactured for a coco hydro grow just work best, well thats my experience anyway.

I use coco in part to keep my room free of bugs. Adding compost defeats that purpose I would think. It also adds complexity to how pH is managed. I don't get why you'd make it more complex to manage when you can get perfect results with tailor made liquid nutes and suppliments. Adding organics of unknown composition, strength, pH, etc would confuse things too much in my small brain.

[Going2fast]

Well no bugs in shitty fish water. But yeah you are doing coco. You are kinda already going the synth thing.

[Gingerbeard]

Sounds like stick with chemicals. I might get back to soil. Coco is just so freaking easy.

[Bluey]

Yes it is. And arguably better quality buds a lot if the time but certainly better yields. And its clean.

[Gingerbeard]

If you don't hupoo correctly, you get bad onions, apparently.

[homegrown]

Apparently they come out of Colorado...and only quarter pounders get the poopy onions....what

[Gingerbeard]

My news says Salinas, California.
John Steinbeck's hood. But nobody cares. Some youngsters don't even know who JS was. Goddamn public schools and millennial sensitivities are erasing classic American literature and replacing it with limited text messaging and meritless photography!
Fucking onions!

[Radeon]

Get you a pet rabbit. Small, easy to take care of, noiseless, furry and cuddly. Feed em, love em, collect the poop. Even if you're in an appt. a small rabbit would be an ideal natural fertilizer plant. Vegetarian....hay and alfalfa. Vegetables. Even a little guy can drop a ton of poo daily..... just my 2 cents...

[Radeon]

Guinea pigs also....couple them guys produce some poo....

[Bluey]

If you get two make sure you get the same sex ....you'll have 50 by the end of the year if you don't.
