build a soil website: Coots or No Coots

MustangStudFarm said:

I dont understand why there is such a big diff in ingredients with Cootz. I think that I was spelling Cootz wrong also. Is it easier on the microbiology? I am far from being expert and I am still learning.

Different nutes that do similar or same things. That is all.

I think cootz mix is more simple and more efficient and doesn't have to cook as near as long when making a soil mix. Also being that it breaks down faster is better for top dressing.

Yes definitely better for microbiology, rock dusts, crustacean meal, kelp meal.

I need to learn how to chill, sorry everyone!

I just got a big VA check and everyone I know is acting shitty towards me??? I am ready to move out of state! I am running low on smoke on top of it lol.

People hating on you for the check or expecting things or both. Shitty when people can't be happy for you

Considering it's a VA check. I'm sure you more than earned it. Since you got paid only $800 a month to destroy your body and sleep in dirt.... I'm guessing.

My cousin just got out of the marines on verp last christmas day.

I am putting it all towards my house, and yes, family wanted a piece of it. I have been talking about moving and I think that they are jelous or something??? I offered to sell my house to my older brother, for 1/2 price, or let him move with me, but he dont want to talk about it. Its very strange and I cant figure it out

Have your cousin sign up with Hadit.com when he gets out of service. They had the most information on how to start a VA claim. It is very difficult to do, and it took me a few years to get it. Just knowing what to do will make a big difference. I am trying to coach one of my highschool friends through the process...
I was always that guy that would do my friend's taxes and file for the Pell Grant at the same time, just so that they would hurry up and enroll in college. I dont know why that came to mind. Going through government processes is a real pain, and that is how they choose who will get the money. You have to do the paperwork...

My brother F'ed up his hips while he was in an airborne unit, and he is having trouble getting anywhere. He didnt deploy and he needs a complete hip replacement, they rated him at 40%. He is getting shafted! I also think that is why he is mad at me, because I got 100%.

He got out last December through verp. He just got accepted into whatever VA thing he was doing. I know his knees we're pretty bad. He was infantr, anti tank missile gunner. He was promoted to Sargent something just before getting out. He did a tour in Afghanistan just policing the local police. Basically back up for police. . He's going back to school now. Working on his masters degree. He got is bachelor's degree before signing up. He went to all the high end military schools and military college. He said he should have never went for infantry. He should have went for a desk job.

You can have 70%PTSD and still carry a normal job. It pays$1,400 a month. That is a mortgage payment!

If he could get a 100% combined rating, he still could work. Just cant carry a job with 100%PTSD.

I don't think he has ptsd really. He was never in any heavy combat. Just his base was shot at and a couple times on patrol. No one from his unit ever got injured. Ionly saw him last the day after he got out. Last christmas day. But then he went back home to New York and got a job and went back to school. I'm sure he knows everything he can get.

Usually, Marines dont have it so easy. The Marines that I saw during my deployment were under-equipped and were getting hit with massive I.E.Ds...

hyroot said:

I get
1.cootz nutrient mix without minerals.

2. mineral mix.

It's cheaper that way and you get more for your money.

3. Fishbone meal.

Mix that.

I have gotten the Topdress kit before. I did like it.


Like super soil that other mix seems redundant imo

Hey man, how much Fish meal do you add to the nutrient kit as is? When you reamend your no-till pots, what do you add?

I just ordered the build a soul mix I'm pretty stoked to get it and get it mixed into my black and gold soil and cook it for 30 days. Is that how long you need to cook it for?

1/2 cup fish bone meal per cu ft.

Make sure it is organic fish bone meal. You don't want any of the crappy monsanto fungicide.

P-

How are you guys liking the BuildaSoil system? I've discovered them pretty recently and they are quite a refreshing and enlightening company with a website that awesome. I'm seriously considering switching from coco to living organic soil. It just makes sense that this is the way it's SUPPOSED to be done.

My problem is I grow in a 2x4 grow cabinet and I can grow 8-12 plants in there in coco. To have a living soil, I would need to put a 16"x36"x14"h Geo-Planter in my cabinet. And how many plants could I grow in that? Four? Six at the absolute most. I'm currently pheno hunting so need the ability to grow a multitude of plants.

If I had several killer mothers to clone from that would be a possibility, but I only have one quality cut (Sour Tangie) and it was derived from a feminized seed so it'll probably fail at some point.

But I'm at the very least going to start brewing my own compost tea and using some of the stuff they recommend such as the aloe vera and coconut water and seed sprout tea. I may even start a worm bin

Any luck on the buildAsoil admendments?

I'm growing some outside in their own pot as well. I'm trying to produce my own seeds so I don't ever have to buy seeds ever again
