How've your experienced with Greenpoint been? Photos people post of their gear look fire, been wanting to try them out. Lots of shitty genes saturating the market these days it seems. Been looking at Greenpoint and Neptune, quality of Attitude been extremely hit and miss lately.

In two weeks, night temps here will be in the 40s consistently, then in December its all mid 30s to low 40s. Pretty much stays that way until February. Day time temps are more tolerable, from 60-75 on average for that time frame. Those low nights are brutal to a good amount of plants, and...

Why I'm glad I'm not in the high desert, and these damn wood chips very well could result in a successful crop over the winter. I am quite eager to see how things perform. Thanks for stopping in my man!

They took to the transplant amazingly, they look glorious. Had to hit them all with a sprinkle of Langbeinite, you can see them praying for the magnesium. Other than that, they look great. In fact, the praying makes me happy. Not only was the transplant such a tremendous success, but they're...

Made another woodchip run today. I'll be making woodchip runs pretty much every day for the next month until my entire backyard is covered in them. I will be covering my entire yard; beds, native dirt, and all with a 1ft layer of woodchip mulch. Possibly even more. Winter will be here very...

Almost forgot to mention another experiment of mine. I made some LAB in the hopes of inoculating as much of my native dirt as possible with it. Everything I read said to toss the curds, but I couldn't help but think cheese. I mean, curds are curds. I pretty much just pressed the curds together...

Had to cheat on my "no amendments" already with all the fruiting plants. Mulching the waste is working great for the plants that aren't blooming, but the tomatoes and peppers are showing signs of needing extra food. Flowers aren't turning into fruits as often as they should, and some are just...

Actually started this post yesterday morning, got quite caught up. From 10/30 Finally transplanted the bananas. Poor things. Crazy looking roots though. Not really expecting many bananas, if even any at all. We'll see what happens. I'm just hoping to get some extra shade for next summer...

Nothing too eventful with the medical side, been in the process of prepping the area for the 8 plants going out soon. Since winter is coming, I need to do the opposite of my summer/fall grow. Instead of large plants, I'll be doing multiple smaller plants. Sunlight isn't as intense, and the...

Very interesting, so then the PPM is irrelevant, since issues are possible regardless of PPM. I'm just now realizing, that since it's measured in PPMs, the carbonate will still have effects but in direct relation to the amount of PPMs. Lets say 200ppm and 400ppm, literally double the CaCO3...

Happy to help, don't mention it. We were all new once. Happy growing.

Yeah, strangest thing. Even with the Ca filter, it has no effect on the pH or ability to buffer whatsoever. Still buffers whether or not I use the filter. I'm fine with it buffering, haven't had to buy or worry about lime for a couple years now. I'm sure someone has done a study about it...

Yeah man, this fucked with me for a little over a year. Took me 3 harvests until I finally realized this was the issue. Thought it was overwatering, then gnats, then deficiencies, the N toxicity is when I really started pulling my hair out wondering what the fuck. I'll describe how it affected...

Depends on if you're using well water or city water. High PPMs in water aren't always problematic, one can usually adjust their soil recipe/inputs to compensate for high mineral content in their water source. Its only if those high PPMs come from Calcium Carbonate specifically, because this...

Please don't scrape it! Such a bummer that mycellium has to be disturbed, however if it is to the point you're seeing such a huge web then the soil is loaded with life, even if you break up the webs. Just try to be gentle ;) I love that you posted these photos, while also emphasizing that you...

Have a shitload of aloe all over my yard out here, and have used the stuff for years. Its amazing. They require very little maintenance and it makes the best cloning gel ever. Even if you don't grow the plant, a $5 aloe plant will still provide loads of cloning gel and/or foliar spray. Good stuff.

Crab Meal is preferred over Bone Meal due to its lighter NPK and the fact that it is a source of chitinase, an enzyme that is quite effective as pest control. Bone Meal will work just fine, just be sure to use it sparingly. Potent stuff. You can still get chitin from Insect Frass, or better yet...

Hey OP, answered the mycos question above for you. Unless the mycos makes direct contact with the roots, it won't really do shit for you. As for the cooking process, retaining that heat isn't absolutely mandatory, it just helps things break down faster. That "heat" is the result of the...

I agree, definitely borderline waste, adding mycos to soil is purely gimmicky IMO. Unless the mycos is making direct contact with the roots then it will do nothing. The only exception to this would be if your soil has been alive and undisturbed for long enough for the mycorrhizae to have...

It is quite a bit of K, but it has good amounts of Mg to compensate. I've yet to experience issues, and no negative effects from the 0-0-22 NPK. However, I've used it quite cautiously, and rarely the full dose. Happy to hear you and others seem to be experiencing positive things with it too. The...
