Use Your Coffee Grounds as All-Natural
Cannabis Fertilizer?
Every cannabis grower is always on the lookout for the next big thing that can be done to ensure
maximum yield and good health of the cannabis plants. This includes looking into more e ective
means that can be used to substitute the current techniques inasmuch as it o ers high levels of
e ciency and does no harm to the plants. One such way that a lot of growers are adopting is the
use of co ee grounds as a natural fertilizer. This method has been shown to be highly e cient in
improving the growing process and ensuring maximum yields.
When co ee grounds are being disposed into the bin, very few see the bene ts that are still
present in these special products but I assure you that there is a lot that they can still o er
especially to cannabis growers. The once useless co ee grounds have now turned useful as they
are important in serving as natural organic fertilizers to help sustain growth as opposed to arti cial
fertilizers that have one or two drawbacks. Co ee grounds also provide the bene t of being able o
help deal with pests and keep away parasites from attacking cannabis plants.
In co ee grounds, we have a cheap, accessible, and natural fertilizer that is both bene cial for the
plant as well as the sustaining and regenerative capacity of the soil and environment at large. The
organic co ee grounds still play home to a considerable amount of ca eine which when
introduced to the growing process helps the plants to ward o competition from other plants
which may seek to compete with the cannabis plant for nutrients, space, light, and other factors
necessary to promote growth.

The bene ts of co ee grounds to the growing process are well documented and they give a good
picture of what co ee grounds bring to the table when added to the cannabis plants. These
bene ts of co ee grounds include;
Serves as compost: Arguably the most important reason for the application of co ee grounds to
the growing process of cannabis plants is for its ability to serve as compost. Co ee grounds can
simply be sprinkled thinly to the soil used to sustain the cannabis plants but its e ect is more
harnessed when it is placed in composed storage. This enables the needed build-up of nutrients
that makes the co ee grounds more bene cial. When added to the compost bin instead of applied
directly, co ee grounds have the potential to become useful green waste that is more nourishing
to the soil. To have an even better compost, straw and wood ash can be added to the compost
storage to increase e ectiveness. Co ee grounds help to increase the levels of nitrogen in the
growing process which is important for chlorophyll and is necessary to produce food by the plant
through photosynthesis. This also helps the plant deal with nitrogen de ciencies that may a ect
growth.
Improves acidity: Co ee grounds help to increase the acidity of the soil which is important if the
cannabis plant is to thrive and give the required yield. Cannabis requires a slightly acidic pH
environment of 6.0 to 6.5 to thrive and ourish and with co ee grounds, these levels can be
reached. If the environment of the soil is too alkaline, co ee grounds can be added to help reduce
the pH to favor acidity. Co ee grounds can also be added if the soil is not acidic enough to help the
cannabis plants grow as it ought to.
Pest control: Another important bene t of co ee grounds that account for its application as a
fertilizer is its ability to help control the invasion of pests. The acidity brought about using co ee
grounds helps to starve out parasitic infestations. Co ee grounds help to give the plant defense
from critters and grant necessary protection to the plant. The micro-abrasive nature of co ee
grounds helps to repel insects as they serve as an obstruction to prevent the march of insects to
the cannabis plant. The co ee grounds also help to deal with fungal infections like sclerotinia all of
which are attributed to the presence of ca eine in the co ee grounds.
Food for worms: Vermiculture has long continued to gain prominence in the world of cannabis
growing as worms are well known for the bene t that they bring to the system. Co ee grounds
serve as food for worms which then produce necessary compost needed to sustain the growth of
cannabis. The castings of the worms are bene cial to the plant as the quality of the composting
they o er is second to none. It is however necessary that the diet of the worms is balanced with
other organic materials to make the diet complete.
It is obvious that co ee grounds can be just what your cannabis plants need to boost production.

Why Growing Weed At Home Should Be Legal In Every State
Some states will be voting on legalizing marijuana this November, however not all bills are equal. In Colorado, not only did they
legalize the cannabis industry, they also legalized home growing for adults.
