Usually worm castings are 0.1-0-0, but the benefit comes from improved soil aeration and the introduction of beneficial microbes. To answer your question: Yes.
My grow shop had a Customer Appreciation party yesterday and I met a vendor from Cutting Edge Solutions... He gave me a few samples of the company's fungi cultures.
How local is semi local? :blsmoke:
I got some free samples of Mychorrizal Fungi at the customer appreciation party my local grow shop threw yesterday :) I've got them bubbling in my water reservior with some molasses, earthworm castings, and foxfarm Grow Big. I'll be feeding it to the girls tonight.

According to OhSoGreen, they all consume about half their body weight a day in organic matter. Another question:

Why are you using bloom ferts on your seedlings? You need to flush them, wait until they are a month or two old, and then feed them a veg fert like Foxfarm Grow Big.
Willow bark contains salicylic acid, which is a precursor to aspirin (salicylin). My grandmother used to put an aspirin in her vase when she would cut roses to keep them fresh longer. They never sprouted roots, though ;)
I'm having the same problem with some of my outdoor plants... they are about 2 months old, in soil. They were originally cloned from a flowering plant and were growing kind of funny for the first few weeks. Now they are short bushes with a lot of tops. I haven't topped any of them, but I've...
My friend is on a liquid diet due to his jaw being wired shut... I gave him a AVBC beer (Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema) last night specifically because the micro bugs and live Brewer's Yeast are good for his lower intestinal tract. I think I'll pour a Red Tail Ale into my watering reservior...
That's great. Do you have anything not from a marijuana-based site that proves this technology exists? Because I think it's a load of bullshit perpetuated by paranoid growers. Helicopters can't see. Camera's can't see. People can see.

The sun is way better for your plants than a few CFL's but if they are used to the indoor environment, you'll want to harden them off the the harsher outdoor environment to prevent shock.
