Right on whodat, im heading that way this is what ive been following to the tee and still have trouble with early leaf yellowing and what seems like just plant not getting enought out of its medum or nutrients.also as you can see what it says about PH balancing and flushing...

Flushing

There is absolutely no reason to "flush" organic nute solutions from your soil mix. In an organic grow, the plants don't take up the organic nutes (guano, bone, blood or kelp). The bacteria eat the organic nutes and excrete food that the plant can feed off of. So the organic nutes don't need to be flushed because they never enter the plant. And besides, meals like kelp, bone and blood along with worm castings and dolomite can't be flushed from your soil mix anyway. If you use guano and seaweed, try using plain water or worm casting tea for your last watering or two so the plant can use up what's left in the soil. But drowning your soil with water isn't necessary.

Here's a cut and paste from sannie
Soil is a natural product, consistent of different organic components, which can be fitted to the specific needs of our personal cultivation. The correct choice of medium and supplements ensures the best start for growers. Supplements include soil mixes and irrigations. Using soil means considering the options of mixing yourselves or using prepared mixed soil. It is important to pay attention to the following aspects; the level of fertilization, the use of potential extra organic supplements, the use of well aired soil and naturally the costs. Potential extra organic supplements include worm fertilizer, guano, bone-dust, blood meal, fungus, bacterium, etc


Creating an active soil system is fairly simple once the compilation of your soil is determined. The soil system will already be activated by irrigation of your soil. Unfortunately is the mixture of soil insufficient to maintain an optimal working active soil system throughout the entire cycle. The addition of mycorrhiza and bacterium benefit the mechanisms of the agro ecosystem, your active soil system to last an entire cycle.

A proper working active soil system will improve the applicable control during a cycle and will enhance the quality of your produce. The use of substratum has a large impact upon the market of cannabis, and represents the opposite of Sannie’s beliefs. The use of substratum enables only minimal biological activity (active soil system) and is in case stone wool is used totally absent. The use of substratum has no precautionary effect because it lacks positive organisms. The unhindered unfavorable organisms can eventually lead to a negative active soil system. In this regard every illness of the plant can be considered to be the consequence of a disturbed balance of your soil.
The use of pesticides or additional (chemical) fertilizers only fights the symptoms of illnesses and will not prevent the risk of other diseases. Thus far the available pesticides and fertilizers have not been able to ban any form of illness. Instead nowadays growers are facing a plurality of problems with their crops. These problems should not be met with mentioned means but should be restrained by adding the correct bacterium and fungus. The addition of fungus will establish a symbiotic relation with the plants. The mycorrhiza will provide the plants with support in extracting minerals from the soil in exchange for sugar secreted by the roots. The mycorrhizas will create and establish new colonies will extend alongside the entire root system. The microscopic magnitude of these fungus colonies will bear no problems. The total length of established colonies can develop several kilometers.
In comparison, the roots of in average 0, 2 mm are still about eighty times larger in comparison to the diameter of the fungus colonies, and therefore not able to form an equally delicate system.

The absence of mycorrhiza colonies will lead to only 10 % use for root development of the available soil capacity (average lifespan of 6 weeks). This means a shocking 90 % of the soil’s minerals and water will be left untouched.

The development of your plants is sizable influenced by the active soil system. The active soil system needs to extract the necessary organic elements for the development of your plants. Besides this basic functionality mycorrhiza contains more advantages. Bacterium and fungus invert the organic elements into nutrients for the plants, but also feed of these inverted nutrients. The consummation of the bacterium and fungus will release bonded nutrients. The positive effects of a good working active soil system will lead to higher yields and improved quality of your crops.
A good working active soil system is especially advantageous in managing the available nutrients of your soil. An active soil system ensures the availability of the requested nutrients. This is contrary to direct (chemical) nourishment management, depending on the grower’s judgement of the accurate requested nutrients. It is not hard to imagine the latter creates common apparent problems for growers. Creating a good working active soil system is easier and more efficient, because it enables the plants to absorb the necessarary nutrients.

Using this principal, I amend a good quality bag soil with Bio-Tone (for the bacterium and mycorrhiza), lime, worm casings and perlite and just water and think I finally have my garden dialed in. I have re-potted problem plants into this medium and healed their ills and have the healthiest garden of all of my indoor grows.

I live in poultry country and fresh waste is waaaay to hot. It's best used in a compost to allow it to decompose and create the needed humus.

I have over 30 tons a month available (major producer has a vast overload and is looking for answers) and I'm trying to figure out a way to process it cheaply.

hi guys was wanting some advice I have a dr120 with a 600w hps for ventilation i have a 4" fan and filter my temps creep up to around 90F if i get another 4" fan for intake from outside will that solve my problem?

Thans in advance
