rah rah diversity! :clap:

After some more thinking about this I've come to the conclusion that it isn't so much about the biomass ratios, but more so what exactly these microbes are doing. The plant needs what it needs, and will utilize its exudates to grow those populations. For example if it needs phosphorus, fungi...

Love the picture you painted. Though it seems to me that cannabis really is more of "bush", so it actually prefers soil more on the fungal side of succession. Not super-heavy fungal soils that provide great growing conditions for large trees, but at least 1:1 and maybe tipped more on the...

In my experience cannabis is more of a 1:1 fungi:bacteria kinda of crop, and then as the soil progresses it should become slightly more fungal, and that's going to produce some nice results. Nice post though, spread that knowledge!

Ya I think that's a healthy way to go about it. Who knows, but it seems to be a worthwhile effort! More eyeballs = more chance for impact

Dig it. Good soil grows great corn.

Ya I think we are aligned on those thoughts. From looking at the search volume of terms like "living soil" "true living organics" "no till" VS. "super soil" it's clear that most people are looking for super soil. Back when I was doing landscaping I would either sell people compost or super...

You can always try shaking your plant with a white piece of paper in your hand to throw the thrips off and on to the paper to check what's there. But ya it looks like thrips issues. Beneficial insects, insecticidal soaps, and biocides can work well to fix it. There's a soil fungus...

Ah cool, ya for the bio assessment I mean looking at the ratio of bacteria : fungi and spotting any ciliates, that type of thing. Some soil tests have that option when you send in a sample, and it can also be done with a microscope at your grow. It's funny, did you know that super soil is...

Ya so you're looking for tissue cultures from labs for a full analysis. And/or you could get use a refractometer to get a brix reading on the nutrient density. Books on permaculture will have some of the info you're looking for, but I can't remember the titles off-hand.

This is great, good mix you got going there. It's all about getting the right soil structure, adding biology, and let the process manage itself! Do you do any biological assessments on your soil?
