What are you talking about? What the hell has worm castings got to do with mold? High rh gives you botrytis.
Three conditions for any disease. Pathogen (botrytis), environment (high relative humidity), and susceptible host plant (cannabis).
For the host plant to be susceptible, it needs to be wounded, so the fungal spores and grow into the active tissue. Spraying the plant with casting tea will reduce the number of botrytis infections because other non-necrotrophic organisms will fill in the space the botrytis otherwise would thrive in.

Just one example of what introducing beneficial microorganisms by way of aerated casting teas.

Trust me, his soil already has shit tons of beneficial microbes. The only reason why you would NEED to add more is if you're killing a shit ton of them off over ferting with your chemical additives. Which, if you read from the start of the article, he is not. Learn a lesson from this thread, less is more! It's true with weed, and almost everything else in life. That's why weed goes so great with everything else!

here is my garden as of right now. we've had rain maybe 3 times since i have harvested. i hope to get another load of pig/chicken/horse manure sometime between now and spring. i'm trying to find some now so it can do it's thing all winter. if anything i should at least run out there and turn my soil.



i don't know much about growing so i don't really know if this means anything. it looks "healthy" to me though, ... IMG_4610.jpgIMG_4611.jpg

Fdd, I'm going with that mix(mg/mg org. garden soil/ffof/perlite) for flowering in 2012.(In my huge azz holes). Going to just go with reg mg and perlite in my 1 gal and 3 gal pots for veggie.(no extra nutes).(worried about nute burn). Still dont know what I'm going to feed her in flower. Any recommendations? Or since I'll be transplanting into fresh soil everytime, should I be good to go with no added nutes? Being that ffof, and mg soil has a lot of nutes by themselves. Thanks.

uh...most lines (take Cutting Edge Solutions )have only like two extra nutrients to use... the Mag Amp and Uncle Jhns blend..not bullshit imo cuzzplants need extra Magnesium Sulfate ... Dont listen to this rubbish plants need nutrients and different companies supply these nutrients only they go about it different and have a different business name. its called Free Enterprise. companies advertise in high times to sell their products that they have worked hard to develope and produce. i bet your weed taste like shit and is squishy typical Outdoor. big plant LOL so what? wtf did those buds taste like? tap water and dirt. Dont stop trying to grow this awesome plant to its potential cause some guys has a giant OUTdoor plant. Weed grows inspite of your efforts.

CEI nuts are notorious for unstable PH levels. I get that they are a little cheaper and everything, but IMO that's not worth the PH issues.

Generally outdoor bud tastes better than hydro. Don't buy into the advertising. Buds grown in dirt taste just fine.

I'm WAY better at growing hydro than outdoor, yet my outdoor almost always tastes better. Pretty much everyone who does both outdoor and hydro will agree with that. If you don't, then it's likely you've bought into their hype designed at selling you more products.

Lets see some pics of you growin a big ass plant. It's really easy for someone to talk shit when they haven't grown before. By the way, most outdoor, especially in Cali, is very comparable if not better than indoor. I know some good ole hippies in the Santa Cruz mountains who's outdoor is better than any indoor that I've ever seen. They all have southern accents for some reason or another, couldn't quite understand that aspect of it. They sell that shit in LA and the Bay as hydro to the clubs by the way.

Those same hippies taught me a valuable lesson:
"Good weed isn't grown in nutrients... It's grown in SHIT"
