I think that the more you use frass, the more often that is, the more it can speed things up for you, for each week you use it you can almost shave a half day or full day off of the flowering regime it seems..
Yea you're right, I didn't see it in any of Don's recipes so I didn't add it, but I may have missed it. I had it in my other one wasn't sure if it was necessary thoyou're missing oyster shell flower for your liming agent. necessary for a peat based mix! DT, are you not using OSF?
gotta run to class for a couple hours. i will have a detailed response to this when i get home later.
Sounds good, good luck with class/es!! Wish I could listen in to the prof ahaha
Sick buddy, J will put those aside for you right a now.. any chance you can delete that post though, ahaha, the brass here kicked me off here for a month once, just for promoting lol, thanks brother, you a legend!
This cleared a lot up for me thank you very much, some good stuff here. No oyster shell flour then? I pretty much tried to combine your method and my friend's lol didn't work, too conflicting
Glad to hear that.
Lol I know you have, I had a few different people giving me advice so I had to weed through the information. One person says "no don't ever do that" and another says "definitely do it always" so it can be overwhelming. My friend is way too pushy in this dept and difficult to talk to. He's worried about criticism from a rookie. Trust me you didn't waste your time! I get it finally lol.Glad to hear that.
OSF, yeah, no need imo. If you run with peat or double peat you may want it at some point, (maybe?) but not needed if you run the mix at 10% biochar, imo. as well as introduce fresh humus come summer.. which is around the corner, another great buffer.
The good thing about doing a different mix than your friends, is that you will get to compare the quality and performances. Especially the smell and flav. Maybe you can use the same seeds, and run clones for even better trials..
I've put like 5 days into this so please share any findings with me!! lol! just bugging ya buddy
This is basically a vegan recipe and should make for super pungent, super clean, super expressive, super smooth, super healthy herb.. hormone free.. antibiotic free... steroid free.. blood free... bone free.. stress free.. cortisol free .. adrenaline free.. meat free.. etc etc etc
I honestly believe our recipe gets leaner cleaner and meaner each and every year, so this is the best version yet, in theory.
I say in theory, cause the fish bone meal, and shell crab meal are recent pull outs, and the langbeinite is new.
But you wanted whats new, and so here it is!!
exciting times.. that gypsum and basalt should really amp things up in the smell and flav, as well as brix dept for you. Looking forward big time!!
Have you decided on your strain yet by chance! Can also do all 3 of our top cuts, in an elite mixed (seed) pack, and toss in 5 to 10 heirloom veggies on the house, eh.. if you want to sub your mj freebie in for veggies, that is, nothing wrong with that at all !
ye my bad
the one with the 4 pH of non organic run off, i've had the same experiences with when i used to grow with the organic bottles. medium pH would be in the 4s but the plants did fine (roots suffered at the end though). i think it was because it gradually fell towards the end of flower when the lime ran out because of frequent waterings of 6.0-6.5 ph. that's my hypothesis. when i started adding lime to those mixes, my pH was solid all the way through, and i was crushing yields. amazing how one thing makes that big of a difference
if i had to hypothesize, anything below 5.0 is likely going to have a hard time being "the best" if it's that low for the plant's whole life.the part in bold is contradictory to the previous sentence as worded. It describes the opposite of a "liming effect". lime decreases pH and increases hydroxide ions in the soil, which buffer to make water with the hydrogen protons. so yes, negative charge bio char will indeed increase pH and hold on to cations, particularly hydrogen.

am logged in how else would u see my msg asking how 2 delete it lol
After a while I believe the option disappears
