Nice. I'll pass that on. We are a group of control freaks. The Tea analysis would be essential. Now Technical S has me convinced I need to do tissue analysis of my crop. It's time to make friends with one of our local Agro Labs. There HAS to be a big time smoker in one of the labs around here. Daddy's got a treat.

I have never used teas before.....what do they replace or improve? Is it just beneficial microorganisms?

depends what you want it for... (which is one of the benefits of tea -- ultimate customisability). so you can brew something with the aim of supplementing your microherd population, or you might want an all-in-one nute solution, or anything in between.

in my case, so much of the grotek lineup is so high in organic material anyways, i'm trying to find a symbiosis of organic/bottled -- the vigour of bottled nutes, the flavour and quality of microherd-fed organics.

So, basically, you want your cake and to eat it too. Well, me too. Here in Cali the Granola Heads are gaining ground. Being a Capitolist above all else, I am feeling the market pressure to offer a full blown organic product. Then I have to deal with my wife quoting Tech S at every turn. I like chemical growing...it's easy and effective. But, times be changing. And it stands to reason that if someone is buying a medicinal herb, they probably want it as natural as possible.

Is there any organic compliance oversight mechanism in place up there, Kitty? All we have here is a couple collectives that do grow room inspections on their vendor's grow ops. They can then give that product their own little stamp of approval. Any Colorado folks here? They seem to be blazing the trail towards full acceptance and regulation. I wonder if there's any organic compliance in the works there.

The fruit and veg organic compliance guidelines here were written by Big Agro...to suit Big Agro. From my understanding, don't use DDT or radiation on the crop and you're "organic"...or something like that. My understanding is that an OMRI cert on a nute costs around 100K. This could mean that only the big boys get the cert, while smaller, and potentially better, nute companies are not seen as compliant. Just what r we to do?
 
far as i know, not yet.
there's these guys: http://www.cannabistradeassociation.ca/
the "cannabis trade association" -- they seem to have the right idea, but they're not "officially mandated" or anything like that. participation is completely voluntary (as far as i know, as of now).

and we all know what a --fucking joke-- the AAFPCO labelling guidelines are. the basic message is, "if WE don't recognise a material as having a particular agri/horticultural result, YOU don't get to claim that it does -- even if it IS backed up with bleeding-edge science. and good fucking luck trying to get us to recognise that result. how much $$ you got?"

and FUCKING RIGHTS i want my cake and eat it too..... AND the ganache frosting. with whip cream and a cherry. and a brulee layer. and and and. just like a certain mr "organic rockwool" i know of. *coff coff*
 
oh, and if the local viticulture industry is any indication, "bio-dynamic" seems to be giving "organic" a run for its money.....
 
mellokitty, thanks to you n all your great friends for all the info and humor you dish out...i dont chime in but rather sit in the corner n enjoy the show, figured i needed to let everyone know how much i enjoy this thread +rep to you all.....
 
thanks for speaking up, 4ta, it means a lot!
i'm always curious to know who's following along, figure there's gotta be more than the couple dozen folks who pop in from time to time.... just today mr kitty was like "hey, i noticed that you talk to this wolverine guy a lot.... and the guy with the woody-with-the-dildo picture...."

between you guys and honourable mention in cg's thread the last couple days, i'm all warm and fuzzy inside.... :hug: (not like that, ya pervs.)

I am into biodynamic more than organic but biodynamic is a doctrine not gardening method at its core;)
I have been pushing to find a third pArty to put themselves out there to cert. A pot farm My land in Cali and my place in Colorado both qualify on omri quality and logged data terms.. The cattle we do here on the land is grass finished and labeled "natural" although organic is the word I would like to see, the premium for grass finishing on land you paid to be certified ls not there sadly .. Although this land never saw a pesticide in it's whole existence just no need at 7500 feet... Organic means nothing it's just being nice to your plants that counts 1800ppm is a loading volume ... Blah blah blah

tra- that pheno your working with looks heddie!!
