have you actually seen kelp @ the feed stores?

Special order #50 kelp meal for 81.00 plus tax. Ace might even be able to order it. You can get alfalfa at some Ace hardware and molasses as well. I guess it depends on the demand in your area. You should have a lot more access to stuff than myself.Headtreep

nobody can answer any of the mulching questions!?humic acid every watering? how about sprinkling it on top every now and then? (I have powdered humic acid)
On a different topic, lets talk bacteria/fungi for a few posts shall we?
I have read that cannabis plants do better in a bacteria dominated medium, however, recently I have also read that while in flowering, cannabis prefers a fungi dominated medium, is this true?
If so, it would be better to shred the mulch while plants are vegging to encourage bacteria and we should not shred the mulch while in budding to encourage fungi activity... that if the above statement was true, otherwise, I guess it would be best to always shred the mulch to encourage bacteria?
So what's up! THANKS
I use humic acids in a solution for better penetration imo. You could mix in direct or top feed however it seems most people in general prefer a drench or foliar. Just be careful with TM7 especially.nobody can answer any of the mulching questions!?
so you are not drenching with humic acid at all? been using ful humix for that. i never use the ful power in my drenches because of cost. maybe i should. i think im kind of confused on this one. do u have that post from cc where he says exactly what two teas he uses. i have been diggin for hours and i cant find it.Here is how I've been doing with the advice of CC.
Soil Drenches 1x per week
Per gal of h2O
1/4 tsp Aloe 200x
1/4 tsp coconut powder
2 tbsp malted barley powder
1 tsp. Protekt
30 ml Ful-Power
Foliars 1x per week
Per gal of h2O
Week 1
- 1/4 tsp Aloe 200X
- 15 ml. Ful-Power
- 1 tsp. Protekt
Week 2
IPMs like neem, peppermint etc
**Alternate weeks**
Note on the aloe from CC: ToTo equal 2 oz. per gallon when making 5 gallons of 'tea' you would add 1.5 grams which is 2 teaspoons (.75 gram each)
I personally use sugar cane as my carb source. Something I picked up while farming in HawaiiI haven't noticed any carb sources in these recipes. Is the coconut water the carb source?
On the bud? Never seen that before.u guys ever get syrup dripping off ur buds? does it mean high brix? it happened on my outdoor plant last year and again on a super frosty plant just now...my buddy was looking at buds and he was like wtf did u spill sugar on here!!? lol I swear it was from the plant!!
The higher your brix the thicker your "sap" water from your plants will be since brix just measures the amount of dissolved solids in the plant and most of that is minerals and sugar.u guys ever get syrup dripping off ur buds? does it mean high brix? it happened on my outdoor plant last year and again on a super frosty plant just now...my buddy was looking at buds and he was like wtf did u spill sugar on here!!? lol I swear it was from the plant!!
Sort of. The organisms that break down the organic matter in a compost pile rely on carbon sources (brown matter) for energy. Adding an appropriate percentage of brown matter helps accelerate the thermophilic composting process.I see a lot of you guys still spend quite a bit of money ... for me part of going ROLS is also to try to source everything locally and for free lol. Is there any of you out there that are basically not spending a penny on their grow?
I want to use forest stuff to make another compost pile in my yard but I am not sure where to start... I guess anything can be used, maybe I should start by asking what not to use!?
I dont know a lot about compost I hear you are supposed to mix in brown and green matter ,... it will be easy to find a lot of green matter in the bush, but what can I use for brown? and I dont understand how a compost pile of 100% green matter would be wrong? too rich in nitrogen?
