Thanks man.. that's what I've been readin!
Yea I got the 1.5er and ill go ahead n mix the rest of the ewc's in there. I'm tryin to aviod the cooking process if possible due to time restraints(moving in 73 days). Got clones a 1.5wks into veg lookin for 2wks.. week dry time and 60sum days inbetween. I was hopin that the AACT would keep me from havin to cook the mix. But if it doesn't work like that then ill just save the mix for after the move and it'll be super cooked.
When u say water it down..how much water?
Planned on gettin the dolomite lime but shop owner doesn't carry it bc she doesnt believe in it. So ill hit lowes n get some espoma DL.
I've looked @ WM and other grocery stores for molasses and couldn't find it, but the hi brix was only $5 n some change.for 16oz., but if its cheaper @ the store then ill have a clerk get the shit for me.
10/4 on the kelp meal bro..how much should I add to my measly 1 bag? Same 1 cup like the guanos?
Good lookin out.. HAPPY 4/20 To all!! :bigjoint:
You can't avoid the cooking process lol. Just can't do it!
The microbes within need to cycle those guanos before the plant can use them.

its possible ha u might not burn ur girls, but if u put them in a hit soil it's gonna be ugly for a while, so I'd cook the soil mix no doubt.
otherwise use plain FFOF to get u buy while your mix is cooking. But it's a must bro!

and when I say water it down, do it like you'd do a plant! Don't drown it, but don't leave any dry spots!
i cook my soil for at least at month every time, and I water it with maybe 2 AACTs during that month, and 2 plain watering...water No more than once a week, as once a week will do!
And same with the kelp meal brother! 1 cup and you'll be good! You could use two cups of the kelp meal and still be good bro!

dont forget your lime too!

happy 4/20 bossman! About to light it up and hit my supplier up lol! Attitude seeds bank!

Good evening all my wonderful RIU friends :-o how are your beautiful faces??

Quick question, it's been a while since I've used the FFOF, and I don't plan on doing anything fancy with it yet, I need to vend off another qp first ;) make dat monayz. But what strength should I use for the FFOF if I'm cutting it with Sunshine Mix #4 for some well rooted and strong clones, still in little 2x2 rockwool starter cubes. I don't plan on adding extra perlite because I would like them to retain moisture while they are still young.

These are going into 1/2 gal or less, by the way. They'll be sitting in my sunroom with artificial lights extending photo period.

EDIT: Never mind, lol. I figured it out. supposedly well rooted clones are fine in FFOF, but I cut it with 2/5 Sunshine anyways.
Let your soil cook a lol bit Jo!

My last 8 seedlings were start in my FFOF mix...
just water it and let it sit for maybe 2 weeks before you use it if you don't wanna burn seedlings!
I haven't burn any with FFOF bro! Thing is, it's nutrient rich str8 outta the bag so you gotta treat it like a super soil and cook it still!

that my opinion at least bro!
happy 4/20 boss!

Nice share! Had to read it in all again bcuz I thought I read that but I didn't!

Just looked like the exact same link another guy threw at me during a debate the other day, and I Googled compost tea problems, and the link he gave was sitting there at the top...
Every knows Google is biased lol, but the link came from the same school at least! They're prob connected even!

But I thought it was a nice read. Confusing but a nice read.

And I'm not at fan of UBs man.
He knows his shit true indeed, but he speaks down to ppl like he's God and knows everything already.
I gave up on following him....Def. gonna freak the shitttt outta that early topping idea I learned from his thread!
My plants are gonna be sitting high and tight bro!

And make sure you study up on your AACT game.
Ppl make noise about them yeah lol, but I was looking around today, and looking at some buds and um.........yeah...I'm GOOD.
Gonna go even harder with the teas when I start the next OP!

Wait till I throw these pics up tho. Straight buds. Not much stem and leaf! Just flowers!

I never used Perlite when using FFoF. Does it help much? Im trying to save as much money as possible as even though i never used perlite in it i wanted a 2nd opinion on adding it

I just add it to be safe bro. I may replace it with something else that is capable of holding and exchanging nutrients in the soil.

But ppl who've posted throughout the thread have used it straight outta the bag w/out, so I'm sure you could pull it off :joint:

New soil component! About to beef up my compost diversity baby! This next mix is gonna be prima!
I buy mushroom mulch by the pickup load (for general gardening bed amendment) right at the facility of a major regional mushroom farm. $30 for as much as they can get in a pickup. They tell me it has 3 main components: wheat straw that has been run through a hammermill (shreader) horse manure, and ammonium nitrate. They grow their shrooms once on it and discard it. It's some real good shit, kinda hot. I bet what you buy bagged has composted/mellowed a bit.

I tell you this because.... I'm kinda high and in a typing mood and thought someone might be interested in what was in mushroom mulch!

SPOT ON with the post brother! Your AIM is on point in regards to the mushroom compost!
I can smell the ammonium nitrate, so I bet it it still hot! And I was playing in it until I picked up a piece of shit lol!

But I just mixed up my next batch of "SuperB soil"! I mix the mushroom compost in at a rate of 1 gallon to every 3 gallons soil!
Also inoculated the soil with mycos spores again!

I was wondering what the main components of it were, so thank for that bit of info!
The way I see it, just more diversity and more microbes, which mean more available nutrients at any one time!
