A method to grow cannabis is described, wherein the method includes providing and treating a source of water, mixing the water with an additive to form a liquid mixture, transferring the liquid mixture to a plurality of cannabis plants grown in a growing medium including a mycorrhiza fungus, and growing the cannabis using a humidity control method, then harvesting the cannabis plants. Trimming and grinding the cannabis along with use of environmental control methods including temperature, humidity, lighting schedules, and carbon dioxide concentrations are also described.

A homogenous granular paper mulch including fertilizer (with the fertilizer composed of natural and/or conventional synthetic ingredients). The mulch is a granular solid composed of recycled paper, fertilizer, and water. The granular product is easy to handle and apply and provides an improved environment for germinating seed.

A composition, such as a liquid seed coating composition, comprises at least one macro nutrient and at least one microbe, which macro nutrient includes nitrogen in the form of a basic L-amino acid in association with phosphorus. The composition allows for an enhanced environment for planted seeds, e.g. by providing nitrogen in a form which is available for extended periods of time. Further, as compared to prior art products, the nitrogen is provided in a form which has been shown to be more beneficial to microbes present in soil surrounding the plant in terms of toxicity. The composition is advantageously a liquid slow release seed coating composition. Further, the invention includes a seed treated to extend the duration of the nitrogen effect without lethal effects to surrounding microbes, and a method of treating a seed to achieve the same objective.
