The saga continues...
I’ve been sharing this growing season my experiences growing a Landrace Colombian Gold photoperiod cannabis plant using only organic fertilizers and sustainable substrate as a growing medium.
The harvest time came a couple weeks ago, brought her in from the greenhouse and finished up in the inside grow room.
Last photos in the greenhouse.
After the chop and dry getting ready to process. Roscoe loves to watch from his perch.
Before trim and processing.
Finished buds…just need to cure for a few weeks.
Here is where I wish I could share more than photos. The smoke is smooth even in its uncured state. The buzz is hard hitting and long lasting. Not a couch lock high…but an energetic buzz, focusing the mind making even trivial tasks seem fun. Relives minor aches and pains letting the day move forward effortlessly. At night with a few additional hits your mind is freed of those daily mental anxieties blanketed gently in a warming glow allowing sleep to enter unencumbered.
These are my experiences yours may vary.
Conclusion:
This was a very successful grow, using only Russian Comfrey and Worm Castings for fertilizing grown in a coco coir substrate. I grow my own Comfrey in abundance for the other gardens we have, the Worm Castings cost 30 dollars for a huge bag, 40 pounds I think, used probably 5 pounds overall for this project.
Coco coir can be rinsed and reused. I was gifted the seed but they cost 10 bucks so I’ll include that amount.
The total cost of this grow was in the vicinity of maybe at the most 20 dollars. For half a pound of primo cannabis…thumbs up!
In the neighborhood we have a very informal cannabis growing group. This technique along with the root stock of comfrey has been passed on to the group so more can enjoy the benefits of almost free personal cannabis production.

can smell it from here! 
Great job MiHale 
Top notch grow!
Sounds exactly like what I look for in my medicinal greens.
It looks nice, beautiful plant, nice buds. 
That every growing season is like a degree program in whatever you're growing with a heaping helping of learning to read nature!
I like the idea of the flour, maybe it would be best for something like rolled oat bread to liven it up some. Or some flavored kind of bread. You could use it in other things and you'd probably never know it wasn't wheat flour.
Just some thoughts. Have to get ready to go into town, got stuff to take care of.
it would all be legal.
Great job.
Posted, then went to enjoy the day before this one today which is forecast to be not so nice.
Legal is beautiful…all those years. With a “stealth” grow, watching for light leaks, trying to keep the odor down, never letting people into the grow room that was “just a storage room”.
Yeah, times have changed.
Then processed and compressed into blocks which are expanded by soaking water. You get a replacement for peat moss which is being argued is more sustainable. I make a living soil mix that I can reuse probably almost forever. Coco coir is the base the I add in measured amounts; composted comfrey, worm castings, vermiculite, perlite, bone meal, blood meal, mycorrhizae, composted grass cuttings. This is mixed in bulk and let to “grow” for at least 3 months to let the microbes do their thing. This is our base mix for most of our veggie grow bags.
I experimented with the base for cannabis using a photoperiod plant. Which was a first for me in decades.
I usually grow in soil but in an inside grow tent, plus I have been growing only Autoflowers for the last 15 years.
This is what coco coir looks like expanded…
