Hi guys

So I really do love LED, where I live it's perfect. The tech surely is evolving, so I got a new product to see where it would get me. Very impressed indeed !

Running Dutch Passion Auto Blackberry Kush, which is not a big yielder at all, but did get over 1GPW.

I must say I am profoundly impressed with witht the Auto Blackberry ...fabulous taste and super good high!! Really love it.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Very nice video mate I preferred the vids the looked really good lights on and it prays again.

I learned a trick that keeps the plant praying even in dark hours.

Raw honey with no pollen removed basically, just honey that's been heated to 42c to filter hive and what not.

I'll look for some pics of mine and show you on conversation, I recon if you can grow autos like that you should be able to see a difference with honey added to your mix.

I see non stop growth and no droop at sleep time its helps my plants I recon it will do you good.

Is there any soil under the rockwool?

I like that,..

someone told me yesterday about a grow with rockwool and something else can't remember.

I thaut he was kidding and the weed was talking lol
Very nice tho all in all mate

That's not rockwool, its a medium called Mapito. Quite recent and I heard good things so I gave it a shot. Google it, it does contain rockwool, but it's a mix of inert materials. Roots go crazy in it. Some brands even include coco fibre too.

What do you mean add honey to the mix? Literally to the feed? Well, since this is basically almost pure hydro I wouldn't recommend it. I do brew beneficial bacterial, where I add honey or blackstrap unsulphured molasses in.

You see, sugar like that, basically carbohydrates, is food for bacteria, the good or the bad. So in soil it works great (as long as its pure honey, not commercial crap), in coco and probably mapito risky, but ok (since bacteria can colonize) ... but definitely a big no-no in pure hydro, which I also do a lot.

But that never got the plant to keep praying at night time. I like that they droop at night. They're resting, they're supposed to do that ;)

I add it to my water then into my soil, and yeah I wouldn't recommend it on anything with a pump lol.

As for sleeping it's good, but from what I found out recently from additional raw honey is the praying and less stress and I only add it in in the flowering phase... They get rest first two months abut after that (that bitch better pay me my money :bigjoint:) I like em to overdrive.
I understand what you're saying tho.
And thanks for the thing you are using mapito I'll Google it because a friend is interested.
Nice grow man very well done.bongsmilie

Then I highly highly suggest you start brewing bennies, or beneficial bacterial. It's really easy. When you add carbohydrates (sugars), the plants cannot readily take it up. What honey actually does is make the bacteria and other micro-organisms go bananas and have multiple orgies, reproducing like mad. We have two kind of bacteria of interest in our game, the good and the bad. The aerobic (oxygen loving) and anaerobic (oxygen haters). What we want is the aerobic kind, which is usually very rich in soil and super rich in worm castings/humus. There as battle going on between the good and the bad, health vs infection. Whoever has the larger army, wins.

That is why it is strictly forbidden to drop anything like that in pure hydro, as it is a very hostile environment, and why you have to use air pump to ensure high oxygenation to the roots. And why if not done properly, hydro can be a monumental disaster. But I digress

I guarantee you mate, brew beneficial bacteria and the results you see will double. Google it, but its dead simple

- bucket
- worm castings
- nice strong airpump and airstone
- water
- 100% natural honey or 100% unsulphured blackstrap molasses.

Leave it 2 days at a perfect 21ºC water temperature, the good bacteria will multiply like crazy, consuming all the sugars, it's really like steroids for them lol. Feed your plants and your root systems will be go crazy happy, thus seriously boosting your overall plant growth and yield. Lots of technical reasons why, these bacteria are perfect symbiotic with the rhizosphere.

Thank you allot my brother or sister, really appreciate that info I have an air pump with that stone tjing and will start brewing it early. Lmao your a saint

I took that question off because you said it above lol kush realised as I was writing this down

Do I need the worm casting

Oh yeah, do your research. Quality worm casting is the main ingredient. It will also supercharge the tea with al the good micronutirents plants really love and are absent from bottled products. A few google searches or youtube videos will helps.
