To any growers in Olympia, if you didn't already know, there are some great grow shops here in town.
The first that was recommended to me by a senior grower in the area is Hefty Harvest. It is a garden and hydroponic supply store with a huge selection, great service, and good products with people who can really help you. If you scroll down on their website you can see they have 2 other locations outside Oly as well. Honestly, I haven't been there too many times, so I can't say for absolute sure how great they are, but every single experience I've had there has been delightful. They even hooked it up with a trial bottle of some nutes the first time I walked in!
The second location is not as cannabis-specific. Right of off 4th, is Eastside Urban Farm & Garden. It is a really nice and quiet farm store that is more than happy to help you with your microgrowery. They sell awesome organic nutrient lines, worm teas, cloning supplies, and a few really intriguing products. On top of everything they sell ready to go, my favorite part about this store is that they sell soil amendments by the scoop. I've walked in there, spent $5 or less, and walked out with a wealth of great nutes for my girls. They sell everything from alfalfa meal, feather meal, blood and bone meal, all the way to some obscure limes and rock dusts that all have their purpose and benefits. There are some amendments I still need to research because I don't even have a clue about what they're for. A good amount of their stuff is already organic also. They also basically have an in house soil scientist. There is a guy, I think named Tristan, who has taken college classes on soil and knows an incredible wealth of information on soil, microbes, nutes, roots, and plants in general. He also used to cultivate his own cannabis in the area so he knows at what angle to come from.
While on the topic and hopefully while you're still reading this, I would like to take just a moment to plug my new line of nutrients! GR0WL0's NATURAL NUTES 4U!!! Alright, jokes aside I would really like to mention something I have noticed. I am by no means a senior or even a very experienced grower, but in the time I've been growing, something really incredible has come to my attention. Before I grew my first plant, I thought I would need to purchase a fancy line of nutrients from a famous brand. When I got really into my first grow, I realized that I couldn't get farther from the truth. I realized that everything anybody needs to support a cannabis plant, or any plant for that matter, can be found in other plants or natural sources. There is absolutely no need to purchase a line of nutrients when you can brew your own teas and mixes for you plants. Now, don't misunderstand me, nute lines have their place in the business. They make it simple for anyone to grow, and can help produce some mighty flowers. All I am saying is that there is a VERY easy, cheap, fun, and extremely beneficial alternative to them. Along with the awesome organic power of the teas, mixing your own allows you to control what you're feeding to your plants 100%. Got some Cin X outdoors right now and they are eating all the teas right up!
If you have a hard time believing in the power of other plants to grow your plant for you, know this: my first grow--which was done with ~6 CFLs, mystery bagseed, and a bunch of minor mistakes--was considered mo' danker than the buds my friends and I were seeing from the local dispensaries. This organic tea tactic works, and if you use it in junction with some mycorrhizal fungi additive the babies are boomin. I use a bacillus and trichoderma additive called Soil Blast by Supreme Growers. There are most definitely cheaper alternatives out there, probably even better, just google it. Anyways, I hope I have inspired at least one soul to try their hand at some organic nute teas, and maybe you'll even stop by Eastside Farm Supply for some amendments! Sorry for the off topic rant...I just don't see any reason why we shouldn't share things to help each other out, and I felt like I was tapping into a goldmine while my buddies were stuck, restricted to feeding their plants only what came in a bottle.
If you got any questions about the shops, nutes, or teas, feel free to PM me or just reply. :biggrin1:
P.S. These amendments can also be used to mix awesome super-soils, as well as some being incredibly beneficial as foliar sprays.
