Yeah you too homie, a dope pleasure.yum yum yum, good to meet u homie
Here's to quality-
*************************************************************
Smells sweet too! Like chocolate covered cherries or something, I swear..
*************************************************************
I definitely put the light project in the right hands..
That was almost no tea under one litre, no top dress no co2 tank no moisture wicks just plain Ro water and irregular lighting.
That there taller top was the closest at about 12" average for the final month. From 2nd node down actually.
Blew a wheel, Raised the bed on an extra dolly, and yea long story short: voila.
69 gram that single cluster, pre cure!
*************************************************************
Go easy and go ham, same time, side by side!
And share and tell! Welcome to the Don's Den, too, btw..
Purple Diesel from the Ocen Farma blend bed, meaning no nasty blood or bone meals
No zeo
No horse manure.
Subbed organic cow manny from our farm link.
If the LA Choca is any indication, this 2015 mix is something else..
Like smoking tish

What did de good rasta say? eye and I skipped the urine actually and used a half cup of castings, instead of a tsp, and soaked for 2 weeks total, aerated about half the time, more so once inoculated.. I got the 1st batch of char half-embedded into a couple beds ready for beta testing.
Lets pool any knowledge or learnings here so we can all further simplify this mystery charge..

basically saying that bubbling is worthless or "unorthodox" as he put it... which i suppose it could be... but if people brew alfalfa for N2 in their tea, why would it not form ionic bonds with the carbon surfaces?
another slam was i did not "activate" my biochar. which means having your own fire, burning the wood until it is almost used up, and extinguishing it thus "trapping all of its carbon".... well the last time i checked the carbon was trapped when the fkin tree grew itself, as that's what trees are made of primarily. so when you burn wood the products are CO2 and H20. the C in CO2 comes from the release of Carbon. so he is making no sense to me at all with this. but i'm the idiot i guess lol.
but according to him "it's people like you(me he was referring to) that fuck up and blame it on organics." lol.
it's all in the last 2 pages of the 8cuft super soil recipe thread in the organic section.
i agree, i want to solve the char mystery. i have seen NO reference to "activating" the char in a fire fashion. the words "charge" and "activate" were used very interchangingly in most all the studies that I read.
Edit: and yes, the compost char activation method is probably the best, but by no means do i think bubbling was unorthodox. i guess we shall see....

this link mentions that activated carbon is not used in agriculture and is an expensive process to perform.

Maybe they(we?) should call it bio-activate because i think they are two different processes when it comes to bio-char and activated carbon.

you are precisely right DP. biochar and activated carbon are two totally different things, which mistarasta did get correct. however, we wouldn't even have the resources, know how, or technologies to make our own activated carbon, nor would we want to use it for agricultural purposes as it's used as a purification processes. EDIT: carbon does not become activated by an open burning fire. unachievable.
biochar is for gardening. the terms "activate" and "charge", referring to the addition of plant macro/micro nutrients (mainly nitrogen) and microbes, were used interchangingly in all the comparison studies that i have pulled up so far.
so we should refer to it as "charging" the biochar, and not involve the word "activate" when referring to agricultural purposes of carbon sources as to not confuse people in the difference of the two technologies.
