Hi, I'm running sohum living soil with various cover crops, my question. I've got some other cannabis plants outside that are on bottled nutrients. Can I take the trimmed leaves off them and put on top of my living soil for food (I think they call it green compost)

Hello Love these living soil grows. You definitely could use those clippings as green compost, but remember that your green is going to be high nitrogen versus high carbon. You should also be mindful of that they are bottled nutrient fed and that can be contained in the leaves similar to the soil will still contain some residues. And i also watch for when decaying plant matter sometimes can produce mold etc. But this would be very comparable to someone using grass clippings as compost which can be very beneficial.

Hey there, bro! 👋 Yes, you can dry and turn your leaves into future fertilizers, but I wouldn't recommend it, as it might disrupt the plant's diet and could lead to nutrient issues later on. It's better to use the recommended fertilizers, and you should experiment with this material first on tomatoes. 😄 Good luck with your grow, brother! 👌😇👍
