thats my point with mine..doing the same old routine as the countless other strains,but achieving less..
I agree, I use nothing from a bottle, minus my bottle of squid emulsion and my molasses, I have a mix of soil and amendments that I like, and I feed according to plant, I have ZERO regimen, I feed, water, and harvest, as each plant indicates, some strains I have, for instance the jack herer, is a super light feeder I feed it three times after I trigger flowering and I get the maximum taste and results that I want from doing that, granted the soil I use/make has lots of long term foods, like alpaca manure, & fish bone emulsion, the teas I use are medium to heavy, but I LOAD up the mycos and the soil loves it, I can't remember who said it first, but first you grow good SOIL, then roots, and then the plant will reward you.
ah, that's shitty, rain water can be super acidic, depends on what type of industrial crap you have near you.thats my point with mine..doing the same old routine as the countless other strains,but achieving less..
i have a well it the side of a valley..it rains a few days,p.h. goes whack..alot of plants planted at the same time had the same issues..few crispy spots on a fan leaf..
i went to sleep last night thinking of all the clones..im excited
..i couldnt begin to think id buy all that stuff,mix it for each individual plant/strain,apply as needed for each plant,with 90 or more plants at any given time..condensed tea in a jug,or hours extra messing with stink water..i choose a jug..makes more sense for my situation,and the results are the same either way,ive compared and contrasted both in my own grow with standard conditions..there is no advatage imo other than bragging rights of the "do it yourselfer"..to each their own,like i allways say,there is no best method out there for everybody...the best is whatever makes you satisfied.
you ever try paul stamets myco packs? highly reccomend it..cheap as fuck and works so well it should be more expensive than gold...root BLOCKS..not balls.lol..i very rarely promote products,even if they work well,but i yell about this myco any time someone will listen..
no actually I haven't but I totally will now, thanks for the advice.
it's not so bad, I use vermifire as a base, and then add simple foods that aren't too crazy, but I don't have anywhere NEAR 90 plants, I grow usually 12 each time, depending on size. Mostly I use 15 gallon air pots, so it's not much more than a 4-5 hr endeavor to tranplsnt/mix up the new stuff, besides I have to mix in the myco, glacial dust, lime, and greensand anyways, so why not add some alpaca manure/rabbit manure, bone meal, and so on, it's only an extra step. I don't like to add anything that has to wait, which is why I use rabbit and/or alpaca manures, they don't have to compost.hmm..im glad botanicare does all that for me at a factory,add some myco and molasses and im ready to grow
ive mixed soil but have the same results with promix and botanicare,only difference is i know i have to feed once a week,w soil its a toss up..plus i gotta mix ammendments in,and wait..with promix,i get it wet and get it done..i do however use my soil mix for outdoors.i still find i need to feed a little towards the end of the summer..
no, the vortex inline fans, they're a lil pricey but I've had ZERO problems with mine ( ihave 4 of them), and I've had them for around 15 yrs, running 24 hrs a day. still work perfectly
Can't you use h202 to clean the well? Idk I don't have one my father in law does though and he feeds all his plants his well.
sure you totally could, but to clean the whole reservoir you'd need A WHOLE lot. So that's the bleach, much more effective, and he doesn't care about my soil health
our well water is actually ok, it's the gigantic reservoir that the well pumps into that is the problem, my dumbass landlord cut all the trees down near the reservoir so now it sits in the sun which= germs...
i wouldnt know how,its got a cap and pump on it,plus i know for a fact when it was drilled 20 years ago or so,the hole was near 300ft before they reached the water...its just from heavy rains leachin through the soil..its always normal about a week or so later..small rains dont mess it up,but those 3 day downpours suck!
