    Default Random amended soil and tea journal.

    So I'm running an amended soil mix and some fungal and bacterial teas in diff stages of growth. Figured since I'm doing a perpetual grow I could start a journal. Here is a day at work.

    Ill try to update once a week and get some pictures of the veg going.

    Vegging in roots organic soil, amended with some Blood Meal, Bone Meal, Fish Meal, Hi-Nitro bat guano, lime and worm castings. I water with Kelp and Humic acid after a fresh transplant. Once a week veg and flower get some Molasses. As for teas, I use the Kelp for every tea, for the fungal I'm using Molasses, Ground Oat Grain, Earth Worm Castings, High N bat Guano, Liquid Kelp, Forest Compost, Liquid Humic Acid and Boiled Bone Mea, Fish Meal as well as a tad bit of seabird guano when available. I add mycho just before using the tea. For flower I'm putting Hi-Phos guano, worm castings, fish meal, blood meal, kelp meal, fol acid and a tad bit o molasses, and the mycho go's in at the very end again just before using. Soil amended for flower is similar to the veg soil but phos guano instead of nitro guano and alot more of the bone and fish meal. Ill get some pics of veg up tomorrow.

    EDIT:
    We hired a guy to build a vortex brewer, if all go's well I will have some pics of that and the other flower room up tomorrow.

    VERY nice looking setup. Subbed for sure. Your grow shots sealed the decision for me to stick with a Roots soil for my base although its been catching some heat on here lately. Are you totally convinced that heavily amending soil and then using the power of AACT is worth the huge effort of mixing big batches with the extensive amendment menu? I agree its a great method. I am just wondering if you have ever had similarly THRIVING plants like that in Roots soil straight out of the bag and with more liquid organics plus teas to feed the microherd as opposed to the supersoilish approach. I've got a bad back and a new big space so... I like what I see here. Also why not just make your entire mix from scratch, what is roots doing right in your eyes? Danks for posting!

    I've used roots with FF and roots with "Semi / organic AGGRAND 4 part lineup" and have seen literally EXPLOSIVE growth with the Teas and Amended soils, I have tried sub's nitro rich SS but found the buds to be very hi leaf/calyx ratio and all smelled the same no matter what strain it was with little color. When I use roots and cut the nitro and use lots of phos guano and sea kelp in every watering, I get larger chunky nugs with longer colas more like donkey dicks. The molasses is also a nice addition to living soil, when used in MODERATION. I do not claim to be a master grower by any means, but I have done my research and am wiling to go the extra mile to get a smooth, sweet, colorful end product. Amend AND Brew for some GREAT synthetic like results with minimal extra effort. The cost can add up for all the diff ingredients but dry, they last longer than liquid nutes. If you want to go low $$ and low effort with good results check out " AMSOIL" any of their dealers can get you their 4 part organic lineup fairly cheap which is all water soluble. Even with the Liquid lime and Bone Meal from their lineup you will need to add some Cal/Mag ever other feeding in flower.

    Good stuff. Especially the tips on supersoil recipe shifting for better bud. Which kelp do you like? A water soluble concentrate like technifloras 1-1-16?

    Right on man, we have very like minds and goals: Utmost quality with living organics and not paying for all the "magic juice" just making our own AACT which is just as powerful.

    Totally agreed. I am just a bit hesitant due to the physical labor of mixing that much into the base. I am a patient for severe chronic back and neck pain! BUT my meds take care of me if I take good care of them. Luckily I am not going at the huge project alone!

    I will definitely look into that. Danks for the quick reply and on point info.
