Well to all of you who are subbed. I am trying a new product out that is not directly marketed for Cannabis. But is supposed to increase growth and yields in fruiting and flowering plants. And it's organic.
Prolific Plant Probiotic aka P3
I will be running a side by side with 2 clones of equal size and strain throughout my flowering cycle. One with one without.
Adding to my current nutrient system.
Java- You asked me somewhere if it was the start of a tea. I am not up ok any knowledge of teas and brewing them.
They are pellets that you stick into the soil and water with regular whatever you use for nutrients.
Instructions are 1" per plant per week. so 1 inch length in pellets stuck into the soil a few inches from the stalk and water over them to release the bacteria.
If this works out I plan to continue using this in my next veg and flower. Since i plan on a simple 11-14 week grow with all the tests i have to run.
I'll keep you guys who want to know updated as to how it works out. I should receive my shipment in a couple days.

After i purchased the product. i contacted the owner and asked if he would want me to test it out on Cannabis.
in return he shipped it 2 day and free shipping.
the product is cheap enough where i could and would have gotten it all myself. lol..
It's just nice to be accepted as a cannabis grower now a days. Not like it used to be, that's for sure.
I'm gonna start a new thread, and post weekly pictures throughout the whole flowering cycle for the 2 clones.
Haven't decided if I plan to use Cotton Candy or Blue Dream yet.
Depends on which strain produces pollen and is no longer needed for breeding.
After 4 weeks of use there should be a dramatic increase in size overall.
And if it does what it's supposed to, I will use it on the entire garden the last month - 6 weeks to bulk them all a bit more.
I'm happy some of you are interested in this.
And I'm sure when the test is done i will be turning more heads this way.
I mean, who DOESN'T want to increase their yield? lol
A special thanks to SOMEBEECH for starting this journey. If it wasn't for him/you, Researching new things would not be on my daily list of things to do.

From that video you had on it Stew, it seems a lot like the same things that we put in when we feed with teas.
This will be interesting to watch this test, maybe it will be a nice booster/starter for organic people, or possible way to incorporate synthetics in safely with the same benefits of living soil. Who knows. Will defiantly be watching.
Make sure we get that link to the thread when you start

I think that's what Java was talking about too yesterday.
But again, I know nothing of Living soils or tea brewing. lol.....
I know it's basically alive or whatever. but that's all i know so far.
BEECH had me head into the idea of living soil and teas for a future grow.
but the space required for brewing, i don't have at the moment.
So the reasearch continued. And I found this. lol

This is very interesting in its own right.
I would, of course :0), be interested in the potential of just
dropping a pellet into a tea-brew.
But adding colonies to soil is a great idea whatever the mechanism.
If you are looking for a good garden fertilizer, then you might want
to consider "Plantone", as it incorporates "colonial units" of a range
of bacteria too. Bio-tone® Microbes :0)
Onward and upward,

- Bacillus microbes break down nutrients (nitrogen, potassium, potash, etc...) in the soil, making them easily assimilated by the plant,
- Bacillus colonize the roots and rhizomes, assisting and enhancing the assimilation of those nutrients,
- Bacillus produce enzymes and other metabolites that ward off pathogens and fungus which attack the plant at the roots. when introduced in abundance, they literally create a ‘zone of inhibition’ around the root ball,
- Many Bacillus strains process, or “fix,” atmospheric nitrogen so plants can easily uptake this compound,
- Bacillus may also digest oil in the soil which can convert hard to garden clay into loose friendly top soil.
Looks very interesting!

For those of you Not subbed to my threads.

P3 arrived. test started. 3rd plant involved now and not pictured.
Just received an Email back from the owner.
Instead of following directions on the bottle he has given me additional instructions.
4" of pellets once a month for 2 months(basically throughout flowering.)
View attachment 2846199
This may seem like strange directions to some.
The pellets look like rabbit or horse grain.
so you put them together for the length.
Can everyone understand what I mean by this?
I have added a third plant to this as well. Which is getting 4" only once from now till harvest.
So all together there are 3 Blue Dream clones being used in this.
#1) untouched(pictured)
#2) 4" of pellets today, and again in 4 weeks.(pictured, plant with bottle)
#3) 4" of pellets today only.(not pictured yet)
I will be putting HUGE numbers on the from of each grow bag so you all know what's what when we are a getting near the end.
The pellets get pushed down into the soil inside the root ball.
The Bacillus organisms will colonize the roots, aiding in nutrient uptake.
It produces metabolites that can be anti-viral, -pathogen & -fungal.
Digests the oils in the soil; Can even turn hard garden clay into good soil.
Contains Micronutrients: Boron, Copper, Zinc, Nickel, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum.
as well as Amino Acids.

Sorry it took awhile to reply I haven't been on in about a month or so. But I start in a 1 gallon then transplant to a 5 gallon then 10 gallon. I use coco coir with all those organic goodies, just pulled 6.5oz off a 45" dj shorts Flo

This is one of the best threads I've read lately. Super interested in organics. Gonna take a trip to the Amish folks farm and pick up some molasses today.
I use FF grow big, cal mag, bat guano, worm castings and tiger bloom in coco/perlite mix.
Interested in going completely organic as much as possible.

When I start the new thread, I'll drop a link in here, so you can come look.
Gonna take weekly photo's of the 3 plants side by side.
This way it will be a little easier to tell if it's working how it's supposed to or not.

I am going to brew my own mix for a tea instead of buying ready made stuff. Trousers has a good looking recipe going on! I think I am gonna use the dwc rubbermaid container that I start out using for hydro and get tired of changing all that water and so forth and always end up putting them in soil lol. I have a bad back and I can't lift those containers full of water all the time. So I think I will use the dwc container and let it bubble in there and just dip it out and give it to the girls.
And is this correct this stuff is only good for a few days??

Depends on what you use to make your Ts,Always smell em after a few days,You will know if its BAD!

ps.Keep eye on Ph also if you use alot of teas.Can really mess with PH.
