Do you have a vested interest in people using chemical fertilizers or are you just a troll? Maybe you'd care to offer something more substantial than simple proclamations. Wow, I'm impressed, a quote from Dick Tavern. Pretty interesting connections to biotechnology companies listed here -...

And there's also this: ========================================== From http://www.ethicurean.com/2007/04/14/heartland-spin/ On a side note, there are some interesting differences between the two versions of the Siliscoe chart. Here is the original: And here is the same chart, but from...

OK. ============================================ "The potential contribution of organic farming to feeding the world maybe far higher than many had supposed," said Achim Steiner, head of the UN's Environment Programme (UNEP). Organic agriculture offers the potential for farmers to...

I'm looking at that. Was it a press release from Monsanto? I see nothing in your post about where those figures came from and I couldn't find them on either of the blogs you linked to. What is the source(s) for those figures?

I don't see anything in that piece on Borlaug about 30% less with organic, I see no citations to research showing organic yields 30% less. I couldn't find that part on Tomatoes, Milk, or chickens on either reason or coyoteblog.

Umm no, the high input was the conventional crops. Still no source for that 30% figure?

I still haven't seen a source for that 30%. I did find a report suggesting that organic growing yields 95% of crops grown under conventional high-input conditions. http://ofrf.org/publications/ib/ib10.pdf

I use different ingredients, but my soil mix is 6 parts Sunshine Mix #1, 2 parts perlite, 2 parts EWC (worm castings), and 2 Tablespoons of powdered dolomite lime for each gallon of soiless mix. That's my basic soil mix used for seeds / seedlings and early veg. For my nutes, I use dry ferts -...

Hey Hobbes, they were available on seedbay - sold out already.

2700K should be used in flower. Pics below - beans popped Sept. 9. grown under 160 watts of 6500K t-12's.

I based the pH suggestion on the pics of the plants - it looks like pH spotting that occurs before lockout. The manganese suggestion was based on the pics of the leaves.

Looks like a pH problem or possibly manganese. Not Magnesium, Mag is easy to spot - the veins are green while the rest gets yellow. Here's a pic where I circled the leaves that are showing it.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080715165441.htm The entire town of Rock Port runs on wind. I haven't found any reports of local aviary populations being destroyed yet.

What's the source for this 30% figure? Anyone wanting to learn a little more about organic soil can start with this link http://soils.usda.gov/sqi/concepts/soil_biology/soil_food_web.html . A google search on sustainable agriculture will bring up some interesting links if you want to research...

Some people live in states where it's legal for them to grow and use their medical marijuana. The federal gov't may have a different view. It's not like customs has a list of names and when they find contraband (seeds are considered contraband), they look at their list and say 'ok, John Doe has...

I thought stealth meant secretive. Not very secretive any more.

Foam and smelly tells me anaerobic bacteria probably took over in your barrel. Unless I'm making a compost tea I use molasses right away - don't go much beyond 24 hours with the tea.

Great. I've been reading up on Bokashi composting. I have EM-1 already. Here's a link with some of the things you can do with EM-1 http://www.emamerica.com/
