.. Excerpt from Mr. Soma’s book: Organic Cannabis Cultivation According to the Soma Method:
” In its simplest definition, organic farming is a farming method that uses only fertilizers, pesticides and other supplementary products made entirely from materials of plant or animal origin. No use any synthetic materials or chemicals in the farming process.”
“For small garden owners, organic farming is not just about stopping the use of chemicals or synthetic ingredients. Organic farming is also an option to comprehensively care for plants and use Environmentally friendly techniques and products help create safer, healthier flower buds.”
“Inorganically cultivated cannabis plants often have a healthy appearance but a bitter and harsh taste. Using organic nutrients such as bat guano and earthworm compost will give cannabis a rich, attractive fruity flavor. Most inorganic fertilizers leave a flavor on the cannabis plant that I don’t like. Inorganic fertilizers can help increase yields, but for me taste and effects come first. I want enjoy the full flavor of a cigarette until the last breath.”
