Hey everyone! !
Did you know?

- making just 1 litre of Lacto Bacillus rich rice wash / whey can produce an astounding 26, 800L of 'lacto-inoculated water' in the end !?

Damn..

that is after cutting with milk and max sugar and then of course water, which multiplies it by 10 (the milk) then 2 (the sugar) then 20 (the water, first time) & then 67, (water again if doing 1Tbsp stable serum per L)

Of course, if doing half the sugar and twice the stable serum in the lacto water, those numbers would decrease by 4x or 400% but even at that, 6 700 L of lacto water is nothing to laugh at. Until you incorporate that into your organic arsenal, cause it only costs the price of 10L of good milk, (raw unpasteurized for example, although normal will do) and 5 to 10 L of high quality unrefined sugar, and a bit of bran or rice Call it under $20 for a good 20 thousand litre potential of beneficial growth enhancer / foliar / drench.

That is impressive, we are looking at every dollar yielding 1000 L in organic-application-benefits. Plus water costs, but those would be inherent as is, and free for some. Even still, factor in 5 gallon jugs at $2 a pop and its still under 12 cents a litre for a microbe

Keep in fridge even if made for room storage, limit air space when storing, use good ingredients, one way valves, and you should never have a batch go bad.

Great for cleaning, unclogging drains, odour control, treating animal bedding, speeding up digestion, increasing plant metabolisms, boosting nutrient uptakes, just don't foliar yourself with the concentrate, trust me, haha
Why not, Sticky?

Hey everyone!!

If anyone can help us find BIODEGRADABLE 'PLASTIC' PAILS, that would be AWESOME! x10!!

-preferably square shaped vs cylindrical, if possible! lidded / stackable if possible! strong and hemp wont hurt either! but sugarcane bagasse, rice, and other natural options are always welcome too!

Right lovely prize for the one who comes through the lucky researcher .. Thanks all for reading

Grow Strong!

Good question, buddy, maybe one day!

Hey Don, found this and thought you might find it interesting,
the analysis of minerals in glacial rock dust.
I'm sure tons other elements are magnetic, but what jumped out at me,
take at look at Neodymium numbers. Interesting!

Also, the MSDS analysis for Gaia Green Glacial Rock Dust states:
May contain up to
Crystalline silica (quartz) 55%
(:

Hey Johnei, very nice, thanks for sharing!!! can you post that link again if you would be so kind? or links..
or is it working for the people.. mid move so not sure if its my internet..

We are actually testing our glacial rock dust deposit right now, dang...


I CAN

HARDLY

WAIT

for the results

Here's the Gaia Green MSDS btw,

Reposted convo about the "best out of bag soil" from a new thread, just for others to learn from etc!
..
https://www.rollitup.org/t/best-out-of-bag-premixed-organic-soil-super-soil.942500/page-2#post-13700741

At a friendly glance, (let me pull it up quick to refresh).. ah ok yes, yes, hen manure, that I'm a little skeptical about, peat moss is arguable, but you're on a good path, its a much cleaner mix then the above one mentioned.

To be frank, I also feel perlite is inferior in terms of aeration, doesn't make my top ten in terms of aeration choices, but I get it I get it.. tis cheap cheap and heavily distributed / mined for F all. Nuisance dust, causes cancer in rats, high Al ingredients just aren't usually my top choice, if better exist.

Platinum isn't cheap though, so no cheaping out imo! - I would have used biochar and pumice and lava rock if using that name, not to mention a few plant based / humus based aerations..that provide decompaction vs compaction.. like organic rice hulls, organic buckwheat hulls, leaf compost, coco shell hulls, anything but fuckin perlite, the least robust, and least forgiving, and least beneficial of all aerations...
kick a fabric pot full of moist soil with just 2 of my suggested aerations and you wont go back to perlite.
But to each their own, I understand its a pain at first to source outside whats avail..

Um what else, not to nit pick, but ..
no neem meal, ouch.
no greensand, ouch.
no paramagnetic minerals or GRD, ouch.

now to nit pick.
doesn't say where the kelp is from,
are they meat fed castings,
are they Japanese lobsters,

but yes, positives are, (Unlike Stonington unfortunately at least from a medicinal standpoint) no reggie blood meal, no reggie bone meal, no fish meal, no feather meal, so thats good.

What's up man.. I'm trying to make a AACT and I'm sure I don't have a large enoughair pump.. my question is, is it worth even putting on my plants or would it harm them maybe if it's not done corectly..

I put 1 cup ewc,
a tea spoon of 3-4-4 organic plant tone fert,
a tblspoon of unsulferd molassas,
a tblspoon of kelp meal and
a tablespoon of alfalfa meal.

It's been brewing gore bout 12hrs and there's just a little amount of foam covering the top...

Also what do u think of this recipe for a simple AACT?
Is there anything u would add or take away from it?.. like neem seed meal, havnt herd of anyone adding it.. just trying to find a simple veg and bloom AACT recipe.. I'm still new to living organics.. one of the hardest things I find about it is having to not do anything but water besides a tea here and there and some topdressing.
Just worm farming! how you doing, organic compadre?

Nothing but love, but personally I would dump that tea on an ornamental tree doing bad but thats about it B
But first off are you flowering or vegging, and what size pots are you in and do you have compost or access to outdoors..

Ok, Second thing.. though I haven't seen scholarly articles on the matter to verify, I do believe foam comes from proteins, and aminos, like in worm bodies etc.. just to note in case your curious.

Third thing, not to nit pick but phrasing that recipe and simple AACT in the same sentence, are with all due respect - small incongruities, my man! thats not really a simple tea.. a simple tea would have just 2% EWC or outdoor compost and .5% HQ food source, such as simple mineralized sweetener or fungal food like organic oat flour .. 2 ingredients max, that is simple.. and not to be underestimated! Bacteria multiply by billions fast and if you pre plan a fungal brew you can KILL IT!! This is also where rh/airflow/temps/pot type/size plays a good role, in keeping established bene populations in tact.

Quick side note, your Tone has a whopping 8 ingredients itself, including 3 I would not touch with their potential arsenic and gmo / hormone harboring ingredients.. ditch that type of shit and gain control over your inputs!

4th, when air is low, you can do 100 stirs in one direction then switch, do that twice a day, and you should be ok. 400 stirs a day, will keep the bad guys away, day and a half total brew.

Lastly, regarding neem, its amazing, I just put a cup of cake per cu ft in the soil once a year, and when doing new batches..easy to top dress it in if no tilling over long periods..

I brew teas for life, to release life if life got low, not to release nutrients, there are more in the soil that you think and the first thing should be to release for life to let them find it, then if you are hungry still, the best and fastest thing to do is a foliar spray for direct triggering and relief.

However, easier said than done, the key is to build even better soil in the first place, with various forms of sizes of minerals so there are various stages of release, both fast and slow, and then the water only fun can really begin.

Don Flowering Tip:

Take a 1/2 gallon of soil not being used, sprinkle some organic oats on it, ground to a fine flour.. I sprinkle thru a sieve like I'm dusting icing sugar on French toast.. then I load a healthy fine layer on the soil, leave in warm dark moist conditions for 3 days min to 3 weeks max, and use this soil for inoculating a brew / AACT if I noticed I under amended or need to start extrapolating all the possible rock dusts and inherent minerals

Fungi are the weapon of choice for me for flowering. Let them do the heavy lifting, watering, bio-security and plant feeding. :)

Way to be organic though its a beautiful journey going cleaner and meaner and learning all the nuances..
Thanks for the theoretical tune up!
