Ohhh right on.

Yeah I grow comfrey and all the others I mentioned as well, funny because I just posted some garden pics of salad greens and thought thats what you were referring to,
good timing.

Such amazing plants to grow, the bees and butterflies just LOVE them, and I do too!

Ooooooohhhhh.. Sorry my friend. I misunderstood. The Blumat lines are sensitive and 3mm small. I would not run a tea through it and I myself am looking forward to running just RO. Guys that run chems through have to flush the lines

Moon- I dig your new Avatar! I was just asking if you grow or have access to fresh Comfrey, etc I haven't seen your groovy pics yet.

In my new place I'm raising honeybees and planting the types of plants they prefer. As a civilization we treat them so poorly

Hairy Vetch, Queen Annes Lace, Parsnip, Borage and Crimson clover have been amazing bee forage from what I have seen.

*BUCKWHEAT (I forgot)

Honey bees go CRAZY for it, and its fun to smoke a bowl and watch the bees land on all the tiny buckwheat clusters, tipping them towards the ground with their weight as they gorge on nectar

I have only used fresh aloe for foilar so far, and I use the leftover to water my plant with. About the aloe powder, which one did you get? 40x or 200x? I was wondering if you mix with 1 tsp(ect) of the 200x powder or still mix @ 2 tbs/gal? Great results with fresh aloe, but I want some powder until I get more plants. Right now I have 6 aloe vera's, but I don't want to take any more fillets off them. They need to recover...lol

Yes I seen that when I was about to order. I'm pretty sure CC only uses the powder, and if the recipe is from him 2 tbs/gal should be fine? I'm guessing.

Spliff- what dilution of fresh Aloe do you use? 2 Tablespoons per gallon or such?

I just take a aloe leaf straight off the plant, and filet it , one leaf usually equals two tbs of goop but I don't like the waste it so I guess I have been mixing 1 aloe fillets to every gallon of water. Then I throw the skins in the vermicompost :-D

Sounds groovy. Fresh is always going to have some edge on powder. I wish it grew faster. House is cold

I hate the cold, thats why I live here haha. One day I will have enough in my garden to only use fresh, but like you said it grows kinda slow. Too much demand not enough supply, I have 9 now. I think I will 25-35 should be enough..

Blue Tara. Sucks cause I lost the mom (clone). Feel like a newb lol. Never leave your aerocloner unplugged for too long. I went back to the old fashion way since but without synthetic rooting hormone. I just completed my first run with a 90% success and pleased with that.

Organic cloning solution - 1 g water, 2 tbs aloe Vera, 1.5 tbs Ful-power, 1.5 ts Protekt. Shake. Soak clones in solution for a few hours or over night. Soak jiffy/rapid rooter plug in the solution and put your clones in as normal, and then put in dome.
