In the early 2000's I was working in Sacramento and went to Corvalis for Elaines classes, was very eye opening. I took the Basic Microbiology, Composting and Compost Tea and the Microscope classes. They were great, I was the first Golf Course Superintendent she had every had in her classes.

Have you heard of or tried EM, after I took her courses I became of big user of organics on my course. I have been mixing compost in my sand mixes for topdressing greens and tee's prior to meeting her. But after the classes I began making/buying/blending compost and custom tea's for all areas of the facility. Started using EM in the process in about 2002. When I left California in 2008 I was using near 80% organics on the course. Had cut my fert/chemical budgets by about 55%.

I still use both compost and tea's on my place since I retired. I raise my own herd of composting worms. It's hard to get good compost here so I buy a well made vegan compost and use my vermicompost with the vegan to make my teas. I have not used any commercial fert on my garden since I moved here 7 yrs ago.

I would love to do and organic outdoor grow.

The webinar was interesting, nothing I haven't read in a book before. I disagree with her idea that all chemical fertilizers are bad, especially on a small scale some people prefer soilless and hydro, there's nothing wrong with that. There are way too many people on the planet to start with building regenerative organic soils today, too much of our soils have already been destroyed and most farmers only care about making a quick dollar. BioAg makes an excellent quality product called VAM, I recommend it. They are an employee owned company and one can call them with any questions, check amzn for their products. If you have the space to do it, why not set aside an area where you can grow plants that can be composted. I recommend how to grow more vegetables by john jeavons.

Saw this and im thinking I like the look of growing this way. I reckon the U candelabra style could be done by topping maybe if you had a wide wall with not much height, but ttystik you said earlier in the thread that you don't top? I was planning to try a vert grow with my next bunch. I like the idea of training the stems into a nice design so once I trim away all the leaves and buds I can make them into a trellis for my next ones. Not sure how it'll go yet.

I had a bad infestation of cops a couple weeks ago, I was only able to save a dozen plants. "Legalization" seems to mean different things to different people, depending on their agenda.

I'll put some pics up. This thread is loaded with pics, they're just down right now because this site was attacked.

I have water cooled COB LED module and 4' x 250W LED bars for all my needs at the moment. I'm sure I'll be getting more quantum board fixtures in the near future.

I'm not laughing. Sadly, I think that's precisely his game; to see just how far he can push his autocracy.

Yip I happen to agree, but I think thats his handlers pushing that agenda, hes just the batshit crazy motherfucker who everyone thinks is doing it (and is easily blamed). I don't claim to know who his handlers are but I know he doesnt control shit.
