Red, I have usually 3 air stones in tea water and 1 in plain water, everything smells good actually, imo I dont need anymore air, hell it splashes all over the place. They are 2 good ecoplus pumps, not cheap walmart deals. It geta the job done at the moment, I think any larger of a pump and I qould be even more praranoid about noise or vibration. Not saying your wrong by no means, Ive seen guya run 2 55 gal dwc organic grows and change water once a week and have great plants w a 70 lpm pump so Its a very debatable subject.

I haven't came across a more thorough site than Microbeman's. He checks his work under a microscope under many conditions...that's the only real way of knowing. I'll trust a guy that's researched brewing for countless hours, more than my own judgement. If dude says they won't live in under a certain amount of air, then I'll take his word for it...plus Stow posted link lol. That's also good enough for me ;)

I will not go behind someone who has taken the time and approach
that MM has, but it does seem that many people make many different
approaches work too.

I promised a pic update by today and here it is. The bottles in the background are BTi, totally organic I swear lol...



This is Milla. The pic refuses to be rotated. You will have to tilt your head. She is nothing but 4 big colas like this with a few golf balls in between.





Almost 5 weeks into flower. Looking killer. Aside from the leaf damage from my K def. Ugly.

If you cant get castings or real compost (I'd check clist) then you could go with mushroom compost. You really don't need the rock phos as cal/phos are in your other ingredients and most likely your teas. Hope I helped....where's Stow to correct me now lol.

I'm having some mixed signals with what this may be. I thought I would bring it into the Tea thread, and see what's up with everyone's opinion. Be brutal, just give it to me honest.

I haven't seen a single sigh of necrosis anywhere, or anything like that. It's just this weird yellow coloration on the leafs. I've heard it's a CBD trait, and a K def now. I want this lady as healthy as possible before her flip, but not sure how to approach this. Any insight would be great appreciated. Thanks in advance. Peace & Love. Myco

Myco its definitely a k deficiency. Use a kelp foliar and kelp tea or add kelp to what ever tea you are doing.

It could very well be a trait of that pheno. I'd be careful chasing something that may have little to no say in the final outcome. I am curious too.

I love this thread!
Thanks for all the info on the OBR's Gandalf. I'll keep special attention, on the GS dom baby. I love em all so far.
Everyone else, thanks for the shout on the yellowing thing. We'll see what happens. Keep you posted. Peace & Love. Myco

I have GS dom phenos of the OBR and the SM. I must admit that it is a special strain/pheno. That being said, I love every cross that has the Joseph OG in it. You are going to have so much frost from the GS, Joseph, and the OB cut. The OB cut used is exceptional. The funny thing is that you will like the ED even better.

Right on Hyroot...damn show off. I'm a little OCD and dug this up. Alfalfa along with Kelp foliar might speed things up. DynaGro ProTekt is also a great option. Potash is a nice top dressing full of K.

This opinion seconded. Have a look in the pics I posted below, if you look past the frost and down through the canopy, you will see approximately the same look to the leaves. It is a BEEEAAATCH to sort in flower. Much TLC. Also seconded on the kelp foliar. With some aloe as a 'sticker' it got my ladies in full recovery mode in a few days.

Your avatars keep getting better. A mate of mine, rest his soul, would have FLIPPED for those pics. You actually remind me of him more than a little. He was as batty as you are LOL.

I still vote for the one getting his hair brushed as needing to be the permanent RCM avatar. That was epic.
