    Compost Tea experiment. Is it worth it?

    I'm conducting a small experiment to determine whether or not compost teas are beneficial for growing cannabis. Two seedlings of the same variety were planted side by side in the same soil and the same size pot. One plant will be watered normally with my well water. The other plant will be...

    Compost Tea Bubblers: do they actually help? + Large bubbles vs small bubbles?

    Ok, It's on! Give me your favorite tea formula and I'll test it. I have two seedlings of the same cultivar planted in the same soil and under all the same growing conditions. One plant will be watered with my well water and the other will be watered with a compost tea. The plants will be...

    Compost Tea Bubblers: do they actually help? + Large bubbles vs small bubbles?

    Researched and tested on several different plants. No difference in my case. My soil may be good enough on its own. I tried EWC tea on half of my tomato plant and it made no difference. I know several Master gardeners who never waste time on teas. not my thing. Do what you think works for...

    I'm so bad at growing....

    Try plain promix in solo cups with 5 or more holes for drainage. Germinate seeds however you feel most comfortable doing it. Plant them root down and water with a spray bottle. A spray bottle will give you better control of how much water you're giving. (ex.10 sprays) If you are still unsure...

    Compost Tea Bubblers: do they actually help? + Large bubbles vs small bubbles?

    Does anyone try growing side by side plants with and without teas? If not, how do we know if tea does anything? Agitating the water will actually kill fungal microbes. Does not grow microbes. Test it before and after. You will not increase the nutrients you put in the bucket by aerating...

    Good place to buy seeds

    It's my second grow indoors and I worked out most of the kinks and my plants were all very heathy. I don't know what happened to the beans in delivery but I had a bunch of freaks. Like every one in the book. Buds forming on a leaf, vine like plants and a plant that won't stop growing even in...

    Good place to buy seeds

    Just wondering, was it weird genetics from ILGM? I'm trying out Multiverse Beans. They carry a lot of breeder's products. EZ PZ to order. It took about a week, and they sent 3 seeds from ERRORS for free. "FRUIT". I got Barney's Farms Watermelon Zkittles and Tangerine Dream autos. All seeds...

    A better use for Molasses?

    It's looking like black powder may be a damn good fertilizer. 75:15:10 KNO3 = no ammonium. (Screws up calcium and magnesium uptake more than sodium)

    Way too many contradictions in this hobby.

    BINGO! It's an annual plant. Treat it as such. 90 days autos and 180 photos? Start with simple nutrient rich soil and feed with KNO3 when needed. Build your microbiome if you're planting a tree or shrubs and even then, I'm not sure it's necessary. PH your soil if you own a farm. Not a 5...

    A better use for Molasses?

    And wouldn't other sugars work. High Fructose corn syrup. I think I can find that in something in the kitchen. Lactose, maltose, dextrose, sucrose, glucose, fructose, and all the rest of the toes. I hate gingerbread. I don't own a Co2 meter. I wonder how much beer I would need to ferment in...

    A better use for Molasses?

    I'm not sold on the benefits of feeding your soil microbiome sugar. They insist that you only use Unsulfured molasses. But plants need sulfur to live. Also when you are growing in a container a lot of the natural composters are missing. They would normally eat all the dead fungi and bacteria...

    What is this soil npk

    yep. Peach colored flowers, 30 years old or more. Started flowering again. Inspired by or inspiring the cannabis to flower? It's never been happier indoors. It usually tries to grow out the window to get light. Now it's in paradise. I finally got four cuttings to take root out of 20 or more...

    What is this soil npk

    But I don't worry about NPK. My soil is good enough for an annual plant. 75 - 90 days tops for autos.

    What is this soil npk

    We use Phosphoric acid for plants. P2-O5. (Phosphate) Not phosphorous. White Phosphorus is toxic to humans and plants. You should see it burn when exposed to air. Nasty stuff. That is the hardest part of trying to find information about phosphorus. White Phosphorus dominates the search...

    What is this soil npk

    Pretty close to 3-1-2 which most plants need.

    What is this soil npk

    Math and chemistry. The N = % N. The P is P2 O5 and = 0.4% P. The K is K2 O and = 0.8% K So 10-10-10 is really 10-4-8. But who's counting.

    Gardening Myths and hacks that don't work.

    Don't put space heaters in a tent. If you are not confident working with electricity, ask a professional. Not the Monroe Brothers.

    Gardening Myths and hacks that don't work.

    It was plugged into a digital timer switch and the timer was plugged directly into the wall outlet. I hate power strips for anything other than cell phone chargers. I thought a mechanical timer would be a bad idea with high voltage. I used the timer for months and it seems fine now. I'm...
