Organic Tests and Runs - Gage and Bodhi

LOL thanks mate Well talk about the MASTER! Coot's mix, RIGHT ON!!

I would love to encourage you to make it and let it cook, then do a run. Coot's soil will take you from seed to end flower and you will probably only need to water.
A good soil is 99 percent of it all. Gascanastan likes to use SST or Seedling Sprout Tea during flower, once a week is plenty from week 4. Coot is also a huge fan.

Even in not so good mixes, a tea per week is a LOT. One every 14 days is still plenty but makes for an easy routine. I only foliar feed if I had to spray chilli or canola for bugs, just to get the phyllosphere back on track.

If you spend time on a great soil, there is very little else your ladies can need aside from a good pest management system

No problem man! Your description of your wax totally out classes wax ive had. Now im eager to try some dank wax eventually!
What, i had no idea Coot was so awesome? i didnt get around to googling him yet haha thats sweet!
That right there has me convinced lol Im gonna do it. Ive read about the SST or Coconut! Hell ya man, thanks for all the info and great reply. How is the yield from organic btw?

Compost Tea is made ONLY one way. The other name for it is a 'nutrient cycling tea'.
It contains water, molasses, and compost, nothing more. One gallon, two tbs and one cup respectively, bubble for 24 to 48 hours.

What is laid out above is a 'Nutrient Tea' an altogether different and more dangerous beast.

The goal in compost tea is microbial extraction and multiplication, not to supply a set of single elements.

The nute teaabove has little in the order of good food stock for microbes. It contains Kelp, which inhibits microbial multiplication for at least 24 hours. Soy has no business in a soil mix, nor a tea, high human specific hormone levels unless fermented to ToFu.

So to repeat, take one gal water, add one cup compost or EWC, two to four tbs Blackstrap Molasses, bubble for 24 to 48 hours. Feed full power or dilute half it will kick ass.

2days after an AACT things just explode.

I think the Boogie Brew does actually qualify as a compost tea, it's labeled as a "compost tea fertilizer" on the bag anyway. It has humus as the main ingredient, which is all you're really after in using compost if I'm not mistaken. I think the evaporated cane juice crystals are the food source and possibly the yeast too, but you could just add molasses if you don't think it has proper food stock. Kind of expensive though since a two pound bag costs around $25 and only makes 35 gallons. You could go through that pretty quick if applied weekly.

Hahahahaha... I had to go over this thread, the wax has me a little too stoned actually, for a second I was convinced I'd mixed up metric and American relative lol... Good thing I didn't.

Yeah the bag teas are very pricey. A good worm farm is all you need to be sorted for life for excellent teas.

And yes, Coot is the man. If you had to put everything he knew into your head at once, it would explode.

Oh cmon. Now your just rubbing it in lol
Wow awesome! Reminds me of the National Treasure 2 movie
Oh and Pattahabi was the good lad who even turned me on to Coot's soil to begin with. Thanks again man!

Coot's seems so simple compared to some I've seen with about 15 ingredients or so, but I'm starting to have faith in keeping things simple and kicking ass.

That is the big secret, keep it simple The most simple solutions are by nature the most efficient.

MH! Hows that cornerstone? Did you run a whole pack and what did ya find out of it? I just snagged d-cure, cornerstone along with some white goji and pagoda. Hopefully they'll do me some good. (No worries really) thanks for the info.

lovely pictures mate, nice colours in the buds look very tasty
what did you favour the most out of these testers ?

Out of the test packs I got, the one that suited my garden best so far is the Golden Gage, which ended up being a pre-release pack. One of those super-friendly OG type structures where nothing seems to get shaded, really vigorous too and man they bring the frost. Not only that but bud density makes for super nice yields in my opinion, at least for this quality. Some of the early phenos are done and we had a little pre-cure smoke test and HOLY BALLS... OK we did go for a little early in the harvest window, I am a little Indie'd out right now. So yeah... The rest are still waiting. And getting FAT.
I think you will like it, both of the tested phenos have a strong hashy spice, but if you hit the joint deeply it reveals a very pleasant sweetness. The sweetness also floats up in the first few breaths after exhale. Expansive but not offensive.

The remaining girls have this really dank spicey FUNK. It is pleasant in the way a good Skunk is, it STINKS but your nose just wants more.

Out of all the types that have been grown in this little rig, tests or paid packs, Bodhi's Dream Beaver is still the Queen of all Sats. My gods mate, if you had to put some DB in that NFT rig of yours, my gods... She yields like a beast, is a total porn-star that packs on frost from week 2 in flower, and makes HUGE dense colas of earthy hashy flavored goodness, or slightly smaller ones (but even more dense) of chemmy/fruity salad buds. The hashy phenos are beyond belief in potency mate I kid you not. Nothing I have ever smoked comes close. I named my keeper 'Milla' after the inventor of the bubble bag, I am almost scared to run her again...

Cornerstone is EPIC... You will see in a little while lol... I must get some pics of the girls in flower now. All I can say is get extra air scrubbers now already, you will need them.

You the man Hamish!!!!

What happened to this thread? C'mon Hamish. Bring it back to life.

Dude... I have sooooo much catching up to do here lmfao... what happened to this thread was the Dream Beaver I guess. That stuff made me forget my own name once no bullshit. I forgot how my signature works. Hit a total blank lllooooolll

Best tasting weed ever. Classic Diesel high. Just wow. Good yields too. [/IMG]

It all pales in comparison to THIS: Dank Sinatra Remix - 'Zombie Balls' phenotype. Finishes in 60 days, always fades like this unless she gets too much N in the soil mix. Oldschool, full, well rounded total body and mind effect. Super relaxation with zero fogginess. Powerful yet crystal clear. Low yields but who gives a rats ass. I hardly toke anything else. Tolerance took a week or whatto build she is ferociously powerful.

And now witness this madness. Grape Stomper x GSOG from Gage, she looks like this after full stress testing. Pure fire.

Congo x Goji OG from Bodhi. This is one mental beast lmfao... super yield, odd smells, fantastic high,

After seeing what i just saw i have to agree with @Steelheader3430...you gotta keep this thread going. Wow!

YEEEEAAAA!!!!! wtf Hamish? You been holdin out on us brother.
My first soil mix was coots. Posted up by caan. For some reason I ended up with a horrid p&k deficiency. Re-amended with potash and guano. Now it's good. Remember that mess I had with my bodhi last year Hamish? Looked like hell.

Good job!

I also had that issue for the first run, but the more I recycle and add compost etc the better it gets, ROLS is pretty badass
