make sure you let that soil cook for a good while before you plant. Also why the worms? Theyll just disturb your roots if anything just get some castings and keep top dressing. :blsmoke:

I add them to my vegetable garden I assume it would be okay for marijuana.
eat organic matter, such as fallen leaves as well as soil organic matter, earthworms provide valuable nutrients to plants through the waste they excrete. This excrement also helps bind soil particles together, which helps improve the soil structure. The burrows that earthworms create as they tunnel through the soil provide air pockets that provide oxygen for plant roots.

In the ground sure, not in pots. Not benefitting at with the worms. The exremenent is just worm castings...

You ought to think about adding some mycelium in the middle of your soil cooking

You're absolutely slamming it with phosphorus. You might want to address micronutrients like iron, manganese, and zinc. If you have time to cook it, use TM7. I never had luck using TM7 on plants, but cooking soil should be fine. Humic acid will help lower excess P and raise iron levels, TM7 has humic acid and micros...
