    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    I don't want to get in a long conversation and I don't want to sound like a jerk. I respect your path, it's just not one that agrees with my paradigm of a living organic soil. I don't believe in pH'ing your water. With that said, I'm going to politely step out of this conversation acknowledging...

    MYKOS and AZOS

    My quick response is I have used both products. Mykos is still my mychorrizal product of choice. I have used azos, and generally in my situation it provides a near nitrogen toxicity. Not saying it's bad, just overkill for my soil. If it were me, I'd buy the mykos only and apply to the roots at...

    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    My apologies, you said poor advice, not terrible advice. I don't want to sound like a jerk. I know I don’t word things well. I appreciate your comment about making you think harder about a subject. This is one of the few reasons I still post on da weed boards. When people challenge your beliefs...

    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    I am very familiar with how pH works. I don't like to be told that I'm giving terrible advise, especially when it is advise that I have personally, as well as others, have used with excellent results. It's what the founders of the ROLS threads preach - Coot, MM, Bluejay, etc. When we have a...

    Terrible advise eh? I've used this method many times to fix soil that plants wouldn't grow well in. pH'ing compost teas is not good for the microbes. Ask Microbeman. I didn't quote your post for a reason. We aren't going to agree on the compost teas. So rather than getting crappy with you, I'm...

    Vermicomposters Unite! Official Worm Farmers Thread

    This is great advise. We do a lot of juicing and eat a lot of veggies. All scraps go in a plastic bag in the freezer even for a day or two, thaw and serve lol! I usually mix it up with a little fresh compost, maybe some coffee grounds, and the worms go crazy. Peace! P-

    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    This is from Teaming with Microbes and in a nut shell is why I suggested EWC and compost teas for plants having uptake issues. What soil growers need to know (and hydroponics growers don’t) is that the type of bacteria and fungi attracted to a plant’s rhizosphere by the plant’s exudates has a...

    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    It looks to me like you have pH issues going on. 6 weeks into flower, I'd probably just hit them with a few strong compost teas. Your one that is 3 weeks into flower, you might try a healthy layer of EWC, and maybe even an alfalfa/kelp tea to give it some quick available nutrients. Just saw you...

    Good \Veg /Liquid fertilizer ?

    Approx 1oz of the gel inside the leaf per gallon of water. With that said, often times I just chop off part of a leaf and blend away. There is also an organic 200x aloe powder I have used quite extensively at 1/4tsp per gallon. Aloe works outstanding for cloning (it is also what I use). For...

    Good \Veg /Liquid fertilizer ?

    Dyna-pro is not going to be organic. Instead you might try bubbling 1/4c alfalfa and 1/4c kelp meal bubbled in 4-5 gallons of water for 24-48 hours. I've used this at 1/2c ratios for really hungry plants. Bonus points would be to add a little aloe right before you water it in. Peace! P-

    Veeganics

    Hmm... When I looked a second time, I don't see anything denoting that it is organic? I realize it works well for you, all good. I'm just thinking it might not be something I'd want to use in my garden because I don't really know what is in it. My guess is the majority of it is K2SO4: Potassium...

    Best sources for Yucca (dry preferrably) ?

    You do not want sodium benzoate. This is a preservative and fungicide. If it is saponins you are looking for remember there are of other ways to get these like aloe, horse chestnut, and even alfalfa. Peace, P-

    GIMMICK: In marketing language, a gimmick is a unique or quirky special feature that makes something "stand out" from its contemporaries. However, the special feature is typically thought to be of little relevance or use. Thus, a gimmick is a special feature for the sake of having a special...

    Kelp meal How to use kelp meal Take 1/4 cup of kelp meal and cover that with about 1/2 cup of water and let it completely re-hydrate. Once that is done then pour off any excess water and use that for a kelp meal tea. Take the hydrated kelp meal and puree it as much as possible to make a kelp...

    Hey Mo! Honestly, I haven't paid attention to npk for a long time now. I attribute the resin coverage to enzyme teas and just overall healthier plants. Peace! P-
