the crew is amending with a bunch of stuff as they fill the pots, but I don't think they are top dressing with anything..
okay, thanks. I just remember reading how you liked the rainbow blends in some of the past threads.
I'm just doing a FFOF and Espoma Organic potting mix with Espoma bio-tone (4-3-3) mixed in lightly, plan on watering during veg only once every two weeks or so with Maxsea (16-16-16). Once flowering starts, I'll switch over and water with the Bloom mix and top dress with Rainbow Bloom. I'll see how it works :bigjoint:

I use chicken shit also so how do you use it the best ways?i also use a lot of worm cassings.ky
Back in the day when I used manure composts for economic rather than ecological reasons, I was always told by the old timers, that a coffee can of chicken manure is equal to 5 gallons of cow manure. I was using fresh shit back then, and would let it age in the ground over the winter. I have done a few "hot" mixes this year with equal amounts of chicken manure compost, cow manure compost and mushroom compost, along with the usual amendments. I haven't used any of it on my weed yet, but it's growing giant tomato plants.

I bubbled some organic Espoma. Smelled like baby shit, but grew a 15 foot tall sunflower.
I'm using a lot more of it in the garden than I am in the woods. In a 40 gallon soil mix, I add 4 cups each of the 4 kinds Espoma I have. That is in addition to 10 gallons of cow manure compost, and five each of chicken {or turkey} manure compost, mushroom compost, kitty littler, peat moss and two kinds of potting soil. This week I bought a big stack of High Cotton compost. Never heard of it before, but the price was right. In the one mix I have made since then, I added it in place of one bucket of Black Kow.

Here is one of my "little" Pruden's Purple tomatoes in the Espoma rich mix. My wife was supposed to take it to a friend a couple of three weeks ago. She forgot it, and it will no longer fit in her Prius. I had to pot up a real little one for the lady.

There seems to be more to life than growing only weed...shit I have so much weed around this farm,it would take me several years to smoke all of it...on the other hand I am going about growing some 12 foot sunflower hedge plants about 100 feet worth so the fence looks cool for my neighbors here in my hood

I don't have any extra weed, as I got such a late start last season my 12 girls were all pretty small. I bought a couple of Z's just so I didn't run out of my stuff before the tops started coming in. I'm down to just a few buds from my best three plants. I have been using it only for the ceremonial hits I take when planting. But with over 50 plants in the ground, and 25-30 holes yet to fill, if they go the distance, I should be good to go for a long while.

My garden and fruit tree orchard are so popular with the neighbors, I can't put my young sprouts in the garden for all day sun anymore. You just never know when someone will stop by for a tour. But no one asks me why I have so much potting soil:bigjoint:

Its all good, always another day. Refi is slow process, cannot build a fire under their asses so we must wait and you know good things happen for those who wait. Remaining positive. May have a line on Key Lime Pie clones over in the bay area. We certainly appreciate all your efforts, do not give up on us yet LOL
