right next to post reply button is an unpload file button. pretty straight forward. And as far as gettting advice. you have to take it with a grain of salt. if you hang out enough you will find out which membors know their shit and are always willing to lend advice. however, somtimes it may mean rethinking everything you thought you knew about growing. and you have to be open to that part of it. I am ex hydro grower myself. took me years to fully start to understand the process of living soil growing, and even then im still learning something new every single day. I can recommend you a few books which helped big time for me. for begginners true living organics by the rev is a start. some of his methods are a bit out there but it will get you thinking about soil health and taking care of your micro organism which basically do all the farming for you. Also, teaming with microbes is a must. And i would 100% recommend building or purchasing a worm bin to start your own castings. Its more about understanding the proccess of how raw organic matter is broken down and eventually used up by the plant. you have to almost fall in love with it. wierd but true.

dont give up on it. again if you would like a starting point I can help, it seems overwhelming but really is not. I hold no grudges and am always willing to help. PM me or feel free to follow my blog or journals.

Hey Green, I put my oyster shell flour and crab meal in my soil for liming. The crab meal not only raises the ph (just like lime) but also supplies me with N, P, Ca, and Mg.

I also supplement gypsum as everyone knows it can't work without sulfur

Lol. Was just trying to discuss. There are countless threads here with great informstionw and non argumentative people. Usually its the half organic guy giving bullshit advixe that fuxks up a thread. instead of looking to logic and science rely on emotions and hurt feelings to respond.

You may think I take offense but I really don't. Your bias is just that, a bias..

You won't acknowledge me because I'll take your 8th grade understanding of the way things work and throw right in your face.

I wouldn't call any thread about dolomite lime a "decent" thread btw.

yup yup. right along the same lines as me. I use oyster flour as well as big pieces( mainly because i feel it may help after 2 or 3 runs). and of course crab sheel meal is a staple. for me its not the buffering effect of the crab but introduction of chitin, which we know makes it very difficult for pest to reproduce. but yeah usefull trifecta! pest, PH and nutrients. yum yum yum

Thats watsup guys. Now could i use crab shell in my coco with hydro nutes. Or does it need beneficials to break it down

Needs beneficials to break down..

Just keep using lime, if on a bottled nute program, you're already using way nastier stuff anyway..

It's ok, no ones born with it ;)

Chitin comes from glucose and is formed all over the natural world. It's what gives crabs their shells and humans their fingernails. It's used as a repairing agent after surgeries and shows significant status as a pesticide.

More like dude says he doesnt raise his own worms! Most organic growers do.

The majority of these soil ammrndments we use need s "cook" time of 30 days. Before the plant gets into the dirt. This is needed because its gives the micro herd ( fungal and bacteria) time to brrak down thrse raw ingredients. I dont see any use in soiless hydro application.
