When you pop seeds it's like playing the lottery, theres always genetic sway towards the mother or father, possibility of herms, bad growth traits, poor immunity to mold/mildew and a huge amount of other variables like yield and potency. With a clone given that you trust and know the source you...

Used it a bunch over the years, prefer it as a foliar to a drench/soil amendment. Fucks with my pH a bit too much for my liking to use as a drench. As a foliar it's fantastic and loads cheaper than the bottled stuff though.

I've just always heard they're more finicky and ruining someone's grow is the last thing I want to be responsible for lol

Another thing you could try if you still see issues is to keep a more consistent soil moisture, drybacks cause swings in ph, especially using salt based nutrients. It's possible during the dryback your pH swung really hard in that pot because it's closer to a fan/dehumidifier etc and it messed...

Fair enough, I'll have to give it a try in two pots and compare results alone or in combination with the malted barley vs just the malted barley that I use now.

Why the brown rice? Just curious, I've seen a lot of people adding it and I always just assumed it would gum up and go anaerobic after a while.

I've been curious about trying calcium chloride, it seems like cannabis sap tests usually show high chloride anyways so I wonder if a foliar would help with charge balance inside the plant as well as give calcium. I know it's a popular foliar in orchards to stop bitterpit and all sorts of...

Very good, cost is the only issue with them in my opinion. The sizes you order are more than enough for probably every plant on your property cannabis or not and often shipping is as much as the product itself. Honestly still worth getting though as they help nutrient cycle as they eat. A...

I've been on a 4-5 cycle/year schedule for 8 years with my longest lasting strain now, around 6 and 3 on my other 2. So I'm somewhere around the 35th-40th generation, I can't say that I see less vigorous growth or worse flower at all at this point but I definitely lost some of the symmetrical...

I got root aphids about 6 years ago, nasty shit to deal with, started up thinking it was gnats, plants threw weird deficiencies and we finished the run cleaned the room and flipped again, next run started showing random deficiencies about 2 weeks in and we chased it around for like 2 more weeks...

My worms don't seem to care about DE at all. Also DE loses it's "sharpness" as soon as you get it wet, so if you're worried about your soil mites etc it's fine as an amendment as long as it gets wet in my experience. That being said a lot of DE is high in lead iirc and I know you said yours is...

This, I live in the Midwest and it can be tough to even follow a vpd chart in flower, when I run in the range no matter how much airflow I get going I still end up with powdery mildew following the curve. I've even windburned my plants trying to get the airflow high enough. Granted that's only...

Look into what species of seaweed it is as I think only some contain the triacontinol and certain species favor auxins and others cytokines(sp?) and have slightly different nutrient profiles, also as with anything from the sea you'll have to watch your sodium content as time goes by so you don't...

Also the carbon footprint on shipping something that's light with a high volume is quite large. I wish there was a better alternative to peat for a lot of things, especially in a regulated space where you get tested for mold/mildew etc because a lot of the good options carry a higher risk of...

Living soil gets better the more runs you put into it assuming you do it right. But you also would need somewhat large pot sizes for it to work, but there's really no reason you shouldn't keep and reamend your old soil.

I'm pretty sure the only seaweed that is a true bioaccumulator is the ascophyllum nodosum or however you spell it, however there are a lot of companies that have been using the other types lately, I'd be interested to hear if it works well. I'm also curious about the levels of arsenic in it as...

The brightest moonlight possible is magnitudes of order stronger than a small led light in your tent I would also assume, unless you're running some truly cracked fans and dehu's I would put heavy doubt on small indicator leds causing herm traits, rather your genetics are just prone to being...

Makes sense, I had a place with that does vermicompost get recommended to me by some friends of friends who grow in living soil that supposedly has a good amount of springtails and rove beetles in it already. Sounds like I can just get some nematodes then. Definitely plan on having cover crop in...

The plants look fantastic, definitely stealing the box fan idea to cool my LED Drivers too. Do you run any predatory mites or other forms of insect ipm like rove beetles? I'm starting a 4x8 bed in place of about half of my grow space going from 30g pots to there, I never really saw a boom in...

If you let your soil dry out and your ec spikes your pH will probably drop out of the range that calcium is readily available too. It's rare in an organic system but I've definitely seen it in multiple different media/nute setups. Also I'm not sure about phosphorous but I know for a fact that...
