Hello everyone.... I thought it would be a good idea to share some info with yall... If you get a bottle of Super Plant Tonic...remember it's contents are Alive.
.
Loosen the cap on the bottle & leave it loose. The micro-beaties in it are alive - bioconverting the NPK in the bottle - just waiting for you to mix them into some unchlorinated water & deliver them to their new home.
.
If you keep the cap on tight, and get a really active bottle (which is a bonus)- it will round out the bottle (swelling). Because they are alive, eating & pooping out more soluble NPK & methane. So, word to the wise - don't keep them on strict lock down - let them breathe.....loosen the cap or.....
.
You can also put them in the refrigerator to slow down their bio-action without huring them - just don't freeze them.
.
Hope this helps.....

Yes... I discovered this. I use some to inoculate teas of castings and molasses. They do seem to like it. Did you say you're using the Flower Power, or going to start using it?

So, far - the soil pH is good. The plant is continuing to throw out hairs like crazy & is looking good.....

Seamaiden.... How are things in your neck of the woods. Are your sun-deck plants filling out ?

They are! One of 'em's gone hermie on me. I may actually name that one (I number the plants, not name them). I've got a fabric-sided portable closet, zippered, made to keep dust and insects off clothing and should work for this odd duck I think (or, may be a good experiment). It's odd, the way it's expressed its hermaphrodism, now that it's daytime and I can get a good look (I've been gone for a week, too, forgot to mention), is that it's got whole branches with male parts all over the place. Totally easy to just cut off, and I have. Then, on the two main colas, it's got a sac, here and there, much more difficult to find because they're buried in hairs.

You know, I grew up in that house, pretty much (Navy kid, didn't move there til I was 10), and it's about the worst time I've had going back ever. I hated it. I can't tell you how noisy it was, right under LAX's eastern flight approach, and then all these cars driving through what used to be such a quiet street! Neighbors building these incredibly huge homes. There's one going up where our friends used to live, Lascari family, and this house is something 7,000'-8,000'sq! The one house covers what used to hold a 5 bedroom house (Lascaris were a big family), horse stable, corrals, backyard and swimming pool. And all of that was tucked under and behind the trees. This new house TOWERS over the trees. It was so depressing.

Ack! I'm sorry... I've gone and type-rambled your ass.

Cool! Kind of like burping your curing jars. I have not used this product yet. I read some of the earlier postings but have not digested it yet, so will reserve questions until I get a bottle of it and read more. I make shaker tea....I am the bubbler.....it works. I let the jug swell after shaking vigorously a few minutes..... until it swells...give it an hour, then let it gas off into the tub. I soak my roots by bottom feeding......any thoughts here Oh So G! Please give my thread a look!!!!..........I ask for pointers
about growing....after having at least
"SOME" experience instead being a panicky noob! Im a noob that is long past paranoia.....Enjoy all your informative posts...always good stuff!

I 'd rep you if I knew how.... like you need it!
