Rabbit manure as cannabis fertilizer
- Thread starter Gunnarguchi
- Start date
Both types of feces can be used. The rabbit will eat the soft,moist one if he gets a chance. It still has nutrients in it. Both types can be used uncomposted if collected off the ground. If you have them under a cage, they will probably be soaked with urine,as well, and should be composted.

Hello
Hello
I'd recommend against using uncomposted rabbit pellets indoors, not due to any risk of burning plants but rather the chance of developing pathogens from the bacteria inherent in the droppings of hindgut ruminants. The droppings tend to putrify in potting soil mixes; not a pleasant picture.
Outdoors is a different matter. You could add several inches to every planting hole, then cover with a light layer of soil, thus avoiding burning tender transplant roots. You could side-dress plants thoughout the growing season with rabbit pellets and water-in with manure teas. The only risks you'd face out-of-doors is the possibility of attracting rabbit predators like foxes that could possibly piss on your plants or eat the leaves or something.
Hope that helps. Spring there yet?

The cecal pellets are the soft ones that look like raspberries; they eat them for both the undigested protein and the bacteria, which is like yoghurt to rabbits.Pops said:

man i'm glad i've found this thread....Gunnarguchi, i have always in 6yrs of growing marijuana used rabbit manure of some form....My worms eat the hell out of this stuff!!!!I have a 30 gal rubbermaid red wiggler worm bed....I feed them worms corn meal fruits and vegetable scrap, old potting soil from my grows(organic), and good ole wild rabbit manure...I also get some from a friends Rabbit Farm!!!! I once worked at a wal-mart and an old man i worked with took me to his home and showed me his garden of collard greens....Man i swear these greens were the size of 16" truck tires....I thought they were going to be tough when i cooked them , but to my surprise those were the best collard greens i had ever eaten!!!I am a lifetime friend of growing with Rabbit Manure!!!!

this has been my new project lately and now just found this thread. I am composting in my basement right now, i have an 18 gallon container about 2/3 full of soil, and i keep putting peelings and coffee grounds and egg shells in it. We also have one rabbit, and i use his poop two. My next grow will be nothing but compost with my mix, and teas made from my compost and black strap molasses. I'll bet i never need to order another fert again. I kinda wish i had one more rabbit

Probably because they piss in there too? It would be an interesting experiment to try and seperate their piss and poo and see if it makes a difference nitrogen-wise...then it may be exceptional for flowering as well...
you could have a worm bin that you add piss to and one you don't if they were seperate...I guess you have to teach your rabbit to piss in cup though..lol..this could prove to be probematic...
so you veg your plants with this very rich compost/castings/poo/pee, but how do you compare to that in flowering? I.e., what do you use? I would feel guilty if I couldn't give my babies something just as wonderful as what they get in veg, during flower. Just curious as i'm still noob-ish

Just a wild-ass noob guess which doesn't mean shit, but I would think that indica dominant would do better. I only say that because I assume its hard to keep piss out of the manure because rabbits just go where they go. Piss has lots of nitrogen and nitrogen causes excess stretch in flowering phase.
But I guess you didn't specify flower or veg did you...my bad, I just assumed.
Just my $.02!

i have a very nice pile of compost brewing with plant parts, rabbit manure and ash from the fireplace mixed with garden soil
going to use this master mix in my later outdoor/greenhouse grow
i think though its so concentrated that i should take care and not too much of it at a time

I could have sworn I posted here before...... I am trying this soon as well, thanks for the idea!
some have have experiences with growing in pure rabbit manure but personaly i cant recomend it as ive never tried it but only used the rabbit manure as soil amendment, tea and as composted
