The Art of The Auto

JM also chimed in about this too. Benificial microbes are at the center of a good organic grow. Me personally i don't like to pay for microbes. Here's why. When you do a soil mix you are supposed to use ither compost or worm castings ideally both. Ither one of these will bring in all the needed micro life. Once they are in the soil it is your job as a grower to multiply them through teas and proper soil manangent.

Really no differant a concept than the repackaged molasis products that the grow shops sell.

Don't want to knock any of these products. But if your on a tight budget, as long as you have some compo or castings your allready there.

Edit
AHAHA again!!!! Another top of the page.. lol. I should hit the casino today or some thing.


Bh.

lol... you should... and take us! lol
or maybe just throw some good karma at someone instead! lol (House always wins)

The only thing I can think of that might be an arguement to your theory is the type of fungi(possibly less in compo or worm castings or different ) and more importantly, if the compo has dried out too much I'm not sure the fungi would all survive or if it were sterilized in some way (i.e. sometimes steam is used to sterlize compo)
So, IMO... always amend unless you're making your own compo (with worms etc. like mossy and FD too I think?)
The FF Root Drench has a list of some thrirty microbes it has in it... and if you combine that with Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom... you can't lose if your ph, temp, nute levels, light, and water are right! Also... Definetly should get some type of oxygen amendment in your water mix (i.e. bubbling or H202)... the results are mucha lucka chocha canna-incredible!
Good luck and good karma!

you got a method for your canna choco.

 

[John Mondello]

that a question or a statement?

 

[teflondummy]

? I have some trim leaf piling up and don't feel like buying bubble bags. If you have a recipe or a method for butter I could definitely use it.

Sry for the interruption on the talk m8s.
I've been following this thread for quite a while and based on the excellent info around (i'm always saying this.. crazy sh*t eeh) i'm starting to collect the stuff for my first evr grow.
So i wonder if u guys could help on the seeds, there are so many around that i don't know which should i pick. Can u suggest me a easy strain for first grow??? I was looking at something that doesn't takes to long to finish, like <80 days or something, and also looking at a good relaxing buzz, to ease muscle tension (ok nothing to strong cause i don't wanna fall asleep lol)
Cheers m8s

check with additude seed bank they have some descriptions of the kinda stone to expect cause theres a ton of different strains but this is a great place to start with feed back from all the growers thats how i decided on the ones i have started here and looked there.

 

[teflondummy]

Of course the purple jem. I have not tried it but the gurus of ganja swear by it and the breeder is a nice chap that is in this thread all the time. I am using Short Stuff right now their website can help you pic a strain. I went with a mix and have loved watching all the different types of girls growing.
