Taking care of the environment and creating a sustainable economy have always been the two main priorities of Humboldt Seed Organization. We’re a seed bank made of farmers and breeders who have spent years growing in the mountains of California using organic farming techniques that have a smaller environmental impact. This section features all that is to know about organic cannabis cultivation, including topics as diverse as compost, crop rotation, biodiversity, the development of habitats or organic fertilizers.

The plants should grow in a natural vegetative state for at least one month before they reach the size that will enable them to start flowering.
What is Organic Cannabis?
How to Grow Organic Weed Indoors
The easiest way for you to grow organic cannabis indoors is to get large buckets (if you can get 5 gallon ones these can work) with holes at the bottom. This will give you the chance to grow large plants (should hold no less than a ¼ pound for each plant). It also means you won’t have the hassle of watering and maintaining smaller plants at the same time. You should then fill this with your prepared mix and use lighting that of no less than 400 Watts if you can. For bigger colas, 600 or 100 Watts is better if possible.
You can then use compost teas and diluted liquid seaweed, or add high phosphorus bat guano tea when it’s flowering. You don’t have to flush as you get to the end of the process – you can just use a tea that’s a bit milder in the last 2 weeks of the process. There will be some yellowing on the fan leaves which is natural, as this is the nitrogen leaching out of the plant cells.
The word organic itself means a product that comes from a living organism. If you are growing cannabis organically, this means that you will be growing from sources that are natural, and not with anything synthetic like salt compounds that you would find produced in some laboratory somewhere. Particles that are organic decay and are sometimes in fact the result of decay rather than some of the chemical options that are created to create on a budget. Buying cheap cannabis seeds (these are available through websites such as Discount Cannabis Seeds) doesn’t automatically mean that you will receive a lesser product – it’s just important to know how the plants themselves are grown.
