I'm no scientist. I do what I think gives me results even if I don't understand the concept.

The way I understood it, is the casting or tea, over loads the soil or medium with beneficial bacteria and living organisms and their waste product.

These organisms feed off of sugars and organic material. Their waste products is instantly and readily available for plants to take up and use for food.

No, just curious. I suppose it depends what's being fed to the worms as to what will be available to the plant when the castings are top dressed. I can say that my plants always seem to perk up when castings or a compost tea are applied

Yeah, worm poo and related teas are amazing stuff. It's always the first thing I reach for if I see any deficiency or problem.
Getting your castings and eggs from a local farm/orchard = awesome!

Correct. Depending on the food stocks the resulting castings could be higher in N, or whatever. The castings themselves aren't extremely rich in nutrients though. It's the organic amendments in the soil that the microbes (in the castings) will go to work on that provide the bulk of the nutrients. Those microbes also buffer PH, and the humus content of castings has a cec that is extremely high. It's kind of a cure-all IMO.

GS x GSAWW are monstrous seedlings at a week old. That and Swamis Cascadian Frost, biggest fattest week olds ever.

About intellectual property, I spoke to my copyright lawyer and due to the legal status of cannabis, all bit actual brand names are creative commons, meaning anybody can do with it what they want. In future this might change but it is highly unlikely that something created before a structured registration process was established will ever move out of creative commons, plus it is most likely only modified genetics will be considered intellectual property, as BREEDS are only that, breeds, but a modified gene is a technological creation, a product of a mind...

And m4k doesn't mind me crossing out gear, he is helping me find the daddy even and is excited for my little project.

He also doesn't mind me sharing cuts as long as I call it what it is, which is just fine by me.

And I think kgp did a killer job of getting clear on Jo. And of reviewing him too, spot on as far as I am concerned. I haven't found a sweet tasting pheno out of the last 36 Jo cross beans though, not in Golden Gage, Cornerstone, or the Lemon Thai x Jo. Cornerstone is DANK omg.

That's not the first time I've heard that, actually. First time I've heard it from you, though. :rolleyes:

Thanks ham,

Maybe the sweet taste was a slight exaggeration. Sweeter, and altered would be more of a realistic statement.

The og crosses with Jo were sweeter than the deep fuel, pine sol, lemony og funk I'm used to with the pure og's I've ran.

And sweeter taste than the chemd clone I used to have.

I think that sounds like a more fair statement.
