No worries, homie-ette.
. Allow me to summarize, its been a while since we drop frass stats @fumbleInsect frass:
- has 100 Billion fungi spores per gram
- 6 trillion cfu/gm of microorganisms (including bacteria, protozoa and nematodes)
- stimulates the plants auto-immune system so it produces more:
- terpenes, flavinoids, alkaloids, amino acids, and chitinase enzyme,
- not to mention root rot, mildew and nematode defence
Hope that helps @fumble et al!

FDA and Dairy Industry Spar over Testing of Milk
The agency said that it planned to test milk from about 900 dairy farms that had repeatedly been caught sending cows to slaughter with illegal levels of drugs in their systems.
It said it would test for about two dozen antibiotics beyond the six that are typically tested for. The testing would also look for a painkiller and anti-inflammatory drug popular on dairy farms, called flunixin, which often shows up in the slaughterhouse testing.
For the rest, read here...

The vegans won't like that method of collection though

I was bumbleclot bored so no worries!! Always helps to sharpen the saw too, so good stuff. I actually applied a frass tea and the explosion of reproductive growth was insane so thanks for asking!
Here's a quick macro off the phone that you gotta see, talk about a sea of gluey triches, they reek like heaven right now, lots of black and pink bulbs getting the once over.
Tight Dojo tester nug expressing herself organically, and very loudly and proudly at that.. Te amount of amber, pink, and black resin is very satisfying. Now to mix some new soil and try again. Also got the reveg planned and some prime glues above ground looking happy. I love how BigWorm gear goes nuts in organic soil.

It was, is and really impresses me! Smoking buds cured for 2 days and somehow theyre tasty tasty tasty.
Can only imagine a 50 or 100 or 200 / 300 day cure. gonna be a treat for sure. Revegging already and its taking off after just 48 hours. Fat hollow stem so fat I used it to cup/house/hold smaller stems and branches while the assistant took and hung all buds up. Really glad we cloned a cutting and are revegging this one

Designing a new batch of soil!!!
Anyone have sources for premium aerations in Canada!?
seems like rice hulls, lava rock, pumice, leaf mould, rotting wood chunks and all the good ones that are aluminum free (unlike perlite and vermiculite) are beyond rare
We need to compile a list of the good quality sources ..
I'm working on a list of water sources in Canada
But aeration is just as big a bitch!! The amendments are pretty easy to get but this is the basis to great growing imo
Any help will be appreciated and you'll get some love from Jah no doubt!!

Yo man, I found this place the other day in my searches. No aerations, but some other seemingly quality goodies. I placed an order for a few things, haven't arrive yet. I'll let you know when they do and if this place is on the level.

It's super hard to find the right stuff. I was unaware of the aluminum in Vermiculite.
I found 99.8% cold pressed aloe juice at walmart for $9 for 4L. Going to give it a shot. the .2% is sodium benzonate though
not that stoked on that but we'll see how the plants like it.

Very hard, but I want to help that.. All we need is ten people one in each province who understands what we need, what's best for organics, and the world would be much better for it.. Or one big warehouse and e store that shipped nationwide and had it all, like build a soil, that Canadians could access 100% without any border bullshit
Re the verm its no issue if you have ph stabilizers like bio char and egg shells or lime but yea if they drops too low it can leech out. Thankfully cannabis is genius and actually gets more potent and traps metals in its outer most leaves as to protect the precious female flowers / repro organs so that's another thing to be thankful for/keep in mind.
