are worm castings vegan?
yea use CANNABIO too,but i also use some organics hydrponics ,they have veganic product too http://generalhydroponics.com/site/index.php/products/general_organics/With the theory out there, let's go to practice. Vegan is showing up on all sorts of labels these days, but the word itself means little. Most chemy nutes are vegan. What I am talking about when I say veganics is plant-based nutes.
That brings us to the best nute company in the world, CANNA. Who else has the balls to directly label the product this way? I've never tested their chemy lines but have read great reviews. The BioCanna line is the backbone of veganics, and on a level all its own in the nute world. Don't you just love the smell of Vega and Flores? Yum, like molasses and soy sauce. If you are on a budget the BioBoost can be foliar fed, but both is better. One thing to note is that advanced gardeners will have to feed heavy and possibly supplement N in veg and P/K in flower for optimal results. The BioCanna website has lots of great info about the special process of plant fermentation and extraction used to make this unique line of nutes. They are sourcing from all over the world to make the best vegan organic plant-extract nutes.
BUT i have yet to find a good organic & veganic source of phosphorus
any one have an affordable option i could check out?
I have read soft rock phosphate is no Bueno for indoors cannabis, metals-heavy heavy metals leaching into buds?
The leaves pull in the toxins to protect the vital organs.
I'm going to be on that later when i have materials again. I actually rototilled and BBQ'd a lot of weed i had to play with after a police visit two years ago. I was over the grow limit here, but nothing happened at all. Saw it, saw my papers, and said they'd deal with it later..so i garbaged down to legal limits and a good neighbor dried a pound for me to be safe. It's the SF Bay Area, but still. You never know. I'm making hash later. I've been reading the information here for a year. It's really great.That's fucking amazing.
One of my three kids, an 18 year old twin girl and horse trainer has gone vegan. We love animals but I'm not vegan. This stuff on RIU is both interesting and hilarious at times.my wifi got caught off, sorry lol , let me repost.

It is entirely cheap to be vegan thats 120$ worth of food roughly, most of the pantry staples will last longer than the month, veggies obviously will be bought every 1 -2 weeks depending how much you personally eat.
I am sure i have missed some food items, but it is not expensive to eat vegan thats a huge common misconception
