How Much Culture Mix and Accelerant is Required to Properly Dispose
of Marijuana Waste?
A 25 pound bulk
pack of bokashi culture mix and a gallon of accelerant is enough material to
process 1 ton of marijuana waste.
Bokashi culture
mix and accelerant may be obtained in bulk at a substantial savings. We provide growers with the value pack 500
pounds of bokashi culture mix and 20 gallons of accelerant used to ferment
marijuana waste. The culture mix and
accelerant shelf life exceeds 5 years if properly stored and the value pack
provides enough material to dispose of 20 tons of marijuana waste.
Bokashicycle can
set up an account with growers wishing to have material delivered to the site
for waste disposal on a schedule.
The Marijuana Waste Disposal Value Pack does not
include free delivery. Product ships
door to door FOB University Place, WA.
Bokashicycle ships product in Canada FOB Burnaby, BC.

The amount of
material required to process a fixed amount of waste per month is easily
calculated using the figures from Table 1.
For example, if the producer is generating 4 tons of waste each month,
then 18 55 gallon capacity fermenters are needed to process waste. Each month 100 pounds of bokashi culture mix
and 4 gallons of accelerant are needed.
The operator would fill 9 fermenters in the first 2 weeks setting them
aside for an additional 2 weeks while filling the other 9 fermenters.
Every 2 weeks
thereafter, 9 of the fermenters are emptied.
The bio pulp is mixed with soil which can be used over and over again or
cycled back through the grow operation.
The emptied fermenters return to be filled again and again in a
continuous recycling operation.
