I'll say this just once. Take a gram of calcium nitrate and place it on the counter. You'll see granules.
Take a bunch of chicken shit and refine it. Once the liquids and the fiber are removed and it's refined you'll have a pile of elemental salts. They just went through the chicken first and in tastier forms. The idea that you're "getting away from salts" is a total fallacy. It's a complete lack of understanding basic chemistry.

Sorry man. I went past the basic chemistry class. Can u perhaps put it any more simple?
I think hes saying basically you can get the same results with a simple NPK via salts.

Calcium nitrate is calcium nitrate whether out of a bottle of nutes or out of the chicken's ass.
Same for every other element we want to use.

I appreciate organics very much. It's recycling at it's best. But when it's time to fish or cut bait I'm going with what works.

Don't wanna use salts. That's why I asked about the banana peel tea. Tryna do it different.
Thanks for that by the way
I think you should read into what Harley is saying here. Lots of truth to this.Don't wanna use salts. That's why I asked about the banana peel tea. Tryna do it different.

Sure you can have living soil. Feed the soil that feeds the plants.
A plant has a diet of micro and macros and doesn't really care whos feeding them as long as they are getting fed.
But to each their own. Good luck on your grow.

I use salts for my outdoor plants. I have 1 indoor plant which is in about day 20 of flower. I have heard about this banana peel tea so I wanted to find out if there were any other growers who know of this or even better, given it a try and what were the results like. Thanks for all the info guys. Really appreciate

I can see a swarm of thrips and gnats headed your way. I'd avoid any sweet type of stuff in your soil or bugs will come.
