I did something interesting lately that has showed some interesting positive results, albeit not with a cannabis plant.
For starters I have pet snails, just the normal kind you find crawling around in the Midwest. I keep them in a special rubber maid container with air holes and such. I give them a bedding of organic Coco coir and feed them the same scrapes that my worm bin gets. Well I goofed, fed them too much, set a bag on top of the container, and forgot about them for a couple days too long. Anyways, I was left with a very anaerobic goop in the bottom of the container with some remnants of food that was half decomposed and some dead snails (sad day). So when I cleaned it out instead of pitching it I figured I'd take the half gallon or so of snail poop goop and put it in a 1 gallon planter with a 40 day old bell pepper plant as well as mixing in some of my organic super soil mix. It's been about a week so far and the bell pepper plant is thriving. It's super lush, deep green, and it's healthy. Much healthier than the other bells I have in my super soil mix.
I'll take pictures when I go on lunch break. Just thought I'd drop this idea in here for someone to ponder on. I'm not sure if the results are from the snail poop, composted food, the anaerobic activity or a combination of all of those factors.
If it works well I may tool around with the idea of mixing in some of this with my super soil recipe that I give my cannabis plants

Snails make a good addition to an aquaponics system. Fish+snails+turtles with their run off going into flow beds of plants and worms. Cool stuff.

ok, I've heard of urine, but from what I've heard, dog shit isn't good because of the meat content that dogs eat... How does his garden look? I'm all for crazy ideas as long as they work!

Kroger ! Haha eat fish for once a week and save the skins and bones and heads etc. Then when you have a lb of fish wastes, mix in 1lb molasses and 30ml effective microorgams extended. (Lactobacillus and phototropic bacteria of sorts) this will help it break down without purifying but it will stink! Cover it for 2 weeks and burp it every other day. I think I'll make some. I've run out.... Strain it, discard the fish into your compost or worms, dilute the liquid 1:100 nomchlorinated water. All in all costs are affordable and is interactive in making. You can use whole fish but wastes are recommended for costs. Also I'd bet if you used probiotic tabblets or culture and me lactobacillus from milk you could use either in place of the effective microbes.

OK so a post ago was the direction for a fish amino acid extraction. I just threw this together a second ago with fish skins, molasses, EMe, water, and a yogurt container sealed with Al foil placed under my shed in the shade for the next 10-14 days. I'll use it as a foliar spray 1nce a week later.

Why wouldnt you? My elders have grown TOP NOTCH GARDENS using previous years deer/moose, fish etc into our gardens, In fact One super kewl thing about being partly native american is i can blend into the white man's scene and still go back to my elders and learn the BEST way to go about things, just an opinion. Using carcasses is imho one surefire way to keep your soil THRIVING. Ever wonder why the soils in alaska 50 miles inland have such wonderful n-p-k values??? the salmon that the bears carry EVERYWHERE have been feeding those forests for thousands of years, herring is another great fertilizer. Here's my "unconventional organic offering"......

Last season we had hit a lean spell and had no money for garden supplies. Still managed a successful grow by feeding the girls nothing but urine diluted 1/20 and Owl Pellets both as side dressing and in tea.
Certainly the pee worked great but can't be sure the owl pellets did anything much. I just thought about the fur and bone and digestive enzymes and figured, why not?
Plants grew very well and showed no signs of malnutrition even the soil here is thin, dusty and dead.
Anyone else experimented with these ingredients?
