I was a DMG whore for years too. soo blah blah blah to the blah blah blah
no spring chicken here fella,

where do you get that stat from anyways? "most people dont check ppm or ph in flower" ?

organically fed produce has always tasted better, always held more nutritional value,and is friendlier to the environment... I thought everyone has always know that
I get it from years of running and reading grow threads

FYI, I eat organic as much as I can. I stopped eating organic watermelon, cantaloupes, apples,tomatoes, etc, a couple years ago as they no longer have any flavor

I grow organic melons, grapes, tomatoes and apples and more..they are full of flavor compared store bought varieties, organic or not.
maybe the definition of organic comes to play, maybe the organic stamp at the market is bullshit. grow your own anything and you will see the differences, smell them and taste them guaranteed.

Yeast? Not a good idea to mix that into your soils.....Not when you add sugars of any kind.

If your adding anything other then EWC and maybe some alfalfa meal. (always add kelp extract after brewing. Brewing with kelp meals or extract reduces active bio counts in AACT by over 30%) Your not doing a basic Bio tea. I would NOT add yeast at all to AACT. It will cause fermentation and the alcohol is bad juju! Yeast only gets it's self going when there is any carb present.
i add like a tsp to my 35 gal can. One of the old timers that runs a plant nursery I know told me to do it. Can it be for the fungal part? Mykorhizae and the other critters I put in there would eat it up right? I add molasses too; it gets nice and frothy before I use it. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't teas like a microbe war so to speak? They don't get along they fight and eat each other and the dominant microbes flourish? My plants love it and I don't have mold problems. I've been solo for about 15 years and I'm doing fine. But I'm still learning everyday; and will hopefully continue to do so until I die. Please school me

This is a tent at my house. These look happy right? 2.5-3 weeks from clone and 4 days into flower and stacking. They stink like seaweed but I wash them off daily. Just hit them with Moab the other day. Help me up my game! Thanks again

Yeast? That old timer has an old wives tale on growing there. All yeast does is eat carbs and put out alcohol. Alcohol is bad for soils or any media, not to mention the plant it's self..
No! Teas are not a microbe "war".....They produce and increase microbes (Basic AACT) Anything other then that is a "fert" tea...

Let me get this straight here. Are you doing an ebb and flow hydroponic grow? With active bio's and yeast working the res? And you add molasses directly to the res?
You've been doing that for 15 years? :shock: Nie ma kurwa mowy!

Ah, whats the media in the pots?
You run an organic process and use MOAB? Why so high a P? So early?

Hold it. hold it....Lets back this up.

Tell me how you grow. Method?
In what?
Feed what?
Supplement what?
Why do you clone 2+ weeks into bloom?
Got any pics of past runs late into flower...Like just before you harvest? I gotta see that....

I grow at home for me; and at work for patients. The tent is at home. I have 2 4x4 in there 7or 8 plants a tray; slow drip fed; dtw; dead res; I hand water in the organic stuff so my lines stay clean. 50 gal res per tray. These are my tester led lights from Johnson grow lights. Cx16 I believe. If they work like they should I'm gonna run these at work hopefully too.

I do not clone 2+ weeks into flower. I have in the past when trying to save a strain. I meant that 2.5-3 weeks ago these were clones.

I may have some pics on my sons tablet which is my old tablet at home. I don't typically post indoor pics on here because most of the time I'm doing indoor I'm at work. My tent is automated and I check on it and daily. I don't like larf buds so before I flip I pick off lower bud sights because they won't be getting light because my canopy is dense. I aim for all tops. It helps cut down trimming time and everyone loves top buds.

Edit:So hi in p to make them bud now instead of stretching a ton then budding. A little bit of stress to make it bud how I want it to; no larf. I end up with a canopy filled with 8inch to foot long plus colas. I only hand feed it Moab two or three times through all of flower; like the label says. It's not in my res. My ppm in my res is only like 700ppm; maybe a bit higher since my lid isn't 100% air tight.

Double edit: btw my nutes plus Moab is about 1800 ppms; which is high. The plants only get up to three sips of 1800ppm mix ever. I know some people on here use way higher than that amount and some for long periods of time.
