I will admit I was very worried about adding silica because of what I have read of the high ph. However at the recommended dosage and the low ph of my pond water (6.3) ...I was happy to see it was a ph of only 6.9. Which happens to be what my soil is at naturally. Woot woot.

Didn't know you had this journal going gg love it and this just solved a huge problem I was having at my indoor grow. Girls are looking very nice can't wait to see how these strains do always looking for something new. Are you in New England?

Out of all of the strains I am trying this yr..... The star of the show (so far) had been the Holy Grail by DNA.
The growth on both plants has just been insane! I know this is the longest running strain that I have in my garden but if it finishes and produces like I think it will, I will have this in my rotation from now on.
Has been a true pleasure to grow.

Here is someone else's holy grail to show how frosty it gets1111131817-1.jpg

and even tho you can not really see all the tops or just how massive this plant really is.... I'm still going to include these.
(If you zoom up on the plant and count the 5th blue line from the bottom...is exactly where the top of my head comes to)20180728_084700.jpg

I can not believe what I have just read through this morning!! This is incredible! Lots of hard work and diligence, excellent techniques, I really enjoyed this. Gonna keep following!!

400 gallons of composted cow shit!! Wow!!
Did you add peat or perltite... anything else for retention or aeration? Mind blown.

I’ve got chickens and horses, and live in cow-country central Florida. Agri-land really. Abundance of manure literally surrounded by it. I am in the process of cooking up a few large hot piles of compost- leaves manure veg waste kitchen waste etc. I’ve also got an enormous amount of worms, going to town on leaves paper cardboard manure and the like.

I am getting ready for my first indoor grow, making my own soil, and the plan was 40% compost (half cooked half WC), 30% Peat and 30% pumice or perlite or something. Was gonna add amendments and let it sit a while.

But you’re growing outdoors in straight cow shit so I’m wondering if life is a lie and I’m going through too much extra shit for no damn reason.

Thanks so much!
Lol yes straight cow shit, and other then dry nutes I did not add any fillers or fluffers. (Lots of straw and undigested hay in it)...and honestly I think it holds water better then coco.

I think the real secret is to amend with nutes that are inoculated...and to make sure you feed the soil regularly.
If you do that and give then root room you will have monster plants inside or out :)
