    we live in a world with finite resources, and an ever growing waste problem globally. We respectfully request that our packaging, once used and no longer of use to you, our canna-bliss family, is not just disposed of in the general waste stream and sent to landfill. Here are some suggestions for what to do with unavoidable packaging material. cardboard boxes and containers; Remove all tape and stickers from the box. Tear the box into small pieces and add it to your compost pile. Cardboard when composted is a valuable source of carbon to your compost pile. failing this, please add the box to your recyclable waste and send for recycling plastic products, including bubble wrap, stickers and box tape; These can be added to eco-bricks. We should all be placing our soft non-organic waste like plastic to eco-bricks which can be dropped off at stations across the country, and these eco bricks are used to build much needed infrastructure in communities in need. Alternatively, you yourself can use these eco-bricks at home to do various DIY projects. please visit the following sites for info, ideas and drop off locations for the eco-bricks: https://khuthazafoundation.co.za/ https://www.ecobrickexchange.org/views/home.php https://www.ecobricks.org/how/ https://greenpop.org/what-is-an-eco-brick/ https://www.cango.co.za/ecobricks/ grow medium; coco/perlite once used, can be either be rinsed and reused, or u can just add it to your garden, compost pile or earthworm bin. excess nutrient mix; just add this to any flower flower bed, pots or garden. it will only do good. cannabis plant Biomass; There are countless ideas on what to do ith trim, stems and roots of your harvested cannabis plant. there is no reason a cannabis plant will have a negative impact on us or our planet, unless we encourage or facilitate this. a quick google search will give you endless reading and video ideas on what to do with your plants leftover biomass.

Seedling stage: - mix 5 gm Set with water and once disolved add to 10lt feed - mix 1.25 gm Grow Crazy with water and once disolved add to 10lt feed Veg stage: - mix 7,5 gm Ready with water and once disolved add to 10lt feed - mix 1.75 gm Grow Crazy with water and once disolved add to 10lt feed Flower stage: - mix 10 gm Set with water and once disolved add to 10lt feed - mix 5 gm Grow Crazy with water and once disolved add to 10lt feed Ripen stage: - mix 5 gm Grow with water and once disolved add to 10lt feed - mix 2.5 gm Grow Crazy with water and once disolved add to 10lt feed Flush stage, final 2 weeks of flower. You will note that in the ripen stage, senescence will start and plants leaves will change color, simiar to that of plants in autumn. The point of flushing in the final 2 weeks is to aid senescence and stop feeding the plant so the plant can essentially die. apply your uBuntu Cannabis nutrients to the root zone, the slower, the better, until you see a run off. it is ideal to not let your grow medium dry out so as to minimise salt build up in the grow medium.
