Wow. When I used roots I never paid more than $13 and never will. At hydro shops you have to haggle. Never pay asking price. Its a buyers market. There's a ton of hydro shops out there. If they want your business........

I think it is around 24. It was about 19 before.


Super soil is ready:




Worms are making soil and I have collected 10 pounds so far. Still have 20 pounds of bagged. There is still a half of a bag of Sunshine #4 (although that is what I am using under my worms to catch the goodness)

Compost pile is cooking nicely. I need to start cleaning up the pine needles for my neighbor. Does anybody know a good way to grind up pine needles?


These are germinating:

$29 is a lot of dough for 2.2 cubic feet. thats more than i pay @ the dro store for a 3.8 bale. best bet is premier brand sphagnum peat @ the big box store. 12$ per 3.8 bale. then of course add your own aeration and humus.
 
If you read it. Its 4 cu ft compressed to 2.2. When you get it wet it expands. It really does expand if you wet a good chunk. If you break it up it still turns into close to 4 cu ft without wetting it. . Ocfs is still cheaper. Going there next time.
 
lol, both the 2.2 and 3.8 are compressed. thats y i pointed it out. an apples to apples sorta thing... anywho the 3.8 bale is about 6.6 cubic feet. i know my pro-mix, i have 5 bales in each of my indoor beds
 
Cann/anyone,

Anyone from the Socal area, I just wanted to know where I can locally source the Rock Dust Mix ingredients.

Thank you,

It's called Gogo juice. It seems to be a commercial bottled (canned) version of something like what ACT is... except, even if it was brewed aerated, it's now in an anaerobic can right? I don't get that part...
In it's description it says;
"GOGO JUICE includes:Beneficial Bacteria:
Including but not limited to:
- Pseudomonas – aids in breaking
down organic materials including crop,
stubbles and thatch.
- Bacillus – aids in unlocking phosphorus.
- Azotobacter – aids in nitrogen fixation.

Alginates:
Aid in moisture retention, and
consequently in the plant's ability to
withstand heat stress and frost.


Humic/Fulvic Acid:


Amino Acids:


Vitamins:
B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E, Choline, Pantotene,
Carotene.

Natural Growth Regulators:
- Cytokinins
- Auxins
- Triacontanol

I could of posted this in it's own thread or somewhere else, but in a kind of perverse way I figured you guys would appreciate it the least :P

I would recommend this to my mom over miracle grow. I don't hate on products like this even though it probably cost less then a dollar to make and the person who would buy this probably doesn't know shit about organic gardening at least it is not hurting the soil. I mean the person who is attracted to the GoGo Juice is not the same person who is going to learn or care why the product works just that it works.
 
Cann this is my Plushberry. Very nice colors. I'm gonna drop this on the TGA nerds hehe.

where exactly are you down here?

I can find canadian glacial rock dust at a hydro store in san berdoo

basalt rock dust can be sourced near Torrance..i can also give you the guys contact info - the company is called Cascade Minerals

no idea on bentonite down here because I haven't looked but I think pottery supply stores near LA will carry it

oyster shell flour can be found at OC farm supply in Orange - or you can generally find oyster chunks at any farm/feed store..I bought a 40lb bag for $6. rinse these, then dry, then smash w/ a hammer or grind in a mortar/pestle until you have the fineness you want. more work than buying powder but it's a lot cheaper


let me know if you need more help...i think thats all the ingredients to the rock dust mix...just going off memory here

Oh yeah buddy it's ripe for sure. It starts to foxtail when it's past the window. Those are prob day 62 which imo is peak for this strain. I have ran this pheno for almost 2 years now.
