^^^ What he said, stuff does seem interesting enough, but since it's not in the US may as well go hempy buckets which would be cheaper in the long run.

Strange that it is not easily available in the states, just done a casual search and nothing...business opportunity anyone.......??

Have you tried sure to grow, they have similar products...

Just to clarify...hempy is the method and mapito is the substrate/medium.

yea i got that, i started too look into it, and i do find it strange that its not very popular here in the states?

maybe its just one of those, europeans like hash with tobbacco and californians love hash with straight OG. we all have our own way of doing things

BEFORe i post those extra pics of update 4, check out what i found at a local swap meet

alright so according to vital earth, in their feeding program, they state to pH the tea or every feed with there products.
now this goes against everything i learned in organics, i was under the assumption that pHing the tea or feed can potentially kill all the beneficial microbes.

According to Teaming with Microbes, pH only matters in the soil, if its good quality soil, then your pH should always be balanced.

after doing a bunch of test and researching, i realized that vital earth hasn't mention that their soil haves dolomite lime, which acts like a pH balance or keeps pH up.

so when i did a pH check about a week ago it droped to 6.3-.6.4 so i added dolomite lime and bumped it back up to 6.9.

so my concern is, should i follow vital earth and pH my tea? or should i focus on the soil and not worry about the feed pH?
i did email them and no answer..

im still all for vital earth, im just concerned on which route to take.
