Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

Does anyone know if you can topdress with green sand ? Or is that something that takes a while to break down, and has to cook for a bit ?

Greensand takes a long time to break down.

I think sunflower seeds have become one of my new favorite seeds for SST's. If nothing else, I love the texture the pureed shells bring to my worm bin! Not to mention difficulty of sprouting, speed, price, efficacy. Thumbs up imo!

How much do you pay for sunflower seeds? Link?

I wish I read this earlier. I picked up more mung beans. the price has gone up. $2.99 a pound. I saw whole raw sun flower seeds for $1.29 a pound.

^^^^^ Looking Great Mo!! ^^^^^^

I've gotten the last few bags at Natural Grocers. I want to say I paid like $1.99 for 2lbs? I need to double check that.

Mung beans are super easy to sprout, and at least were super cheap. I also have a bag of those in the pantry. However, they tend to turn into a mess after the blender imo.

after the blender I pour all of it. Headtreep does the same.

What if you call it "mulch" instead of "top dress?"

So I got this super sweet mug from Attitude:



Too bad it was wrapped in green tape.

Ouch...

I wonder when the bean banks will start taking inspiration from that cheech and chong movie, and start integrating the beans into other items... (actually, now that i think of it, some are probably already using similar strategies...)

Hands down, the Tude is the worse at packaging. With that said, this is the first time I've had any bean order seized, and I've placed 11 orders with the Tude alone. I always get the guarantee, so we'll see how this one goes.

Sucks, this happened to me recently

Hey FFH! Was your order with the Tude? Did they get you out new ones? Even though the site says they are closed, I already received an email back from them asking for pictures of the packing and letter. I hope this is pretty painless. Still a little torked cause I was going to drop some of the seeds right away for the next round.

yea my order was from the tude lol, I ordered guarantee stealth shipping with over 200$ worth of seeds, 2 months later I received a beat up package with green tape and a skunk t shirt. I cancelled my order, got my money back, kept the shirt no questions asked. it really fucked my year up because I was planning on staying away and not be soo reliant on clones, oh well, I am looking into seeds now tho, has any one every ordered from seedsman?

http://www.seedsman.com/en/critical-kush-feminised-seeds
best price I can find for 10 critical kush seeds. plus free og seeds. seems legit, what yall think?

Shit, I might just cancel my order then if they give me that option. Only reason I ordered from them is they have bodhi's nl#5 instock, and everyone else was out. Of course as as soon as I ordered everyone else got theirs in stock.

I have ordered from seedsman with zero problems. They do not guarantee their order from what I hear. A friend ordered their stealth book opinion, and let's say it's pretty damn good.

So hey... what would happen if i soaked/sprouted "cover crop blend," and then instead of pureeing them (no blender), just dump the whole thing into the soil? (not sure if those need an initial rinse...) Or would it be better to select specific seeds and strategically place them? Part of me wants to just artfully sling a handful across the pot, and let them do whatever they do... lol.

I had planned/attempted to order from ossc, but hit the "international purchase" problem, and then got dicked around... and then some beans of unknown origin somehow found their way into some soil... eh heh... so that whole shopping hassle is on the backest back-burner for me now.

I browsed seedsman pretty hard for a little while at one point, but i wasn't about to order a snuggie for stealth purposes. Seems like most of their appealing stealth options are/were always out of stock when i looked. Beyond that... no idea! Seems like good prices on most stuff, and i like how their site allows useful sorting (unlike herbies), and functions very well (at least for me).

This would be a cover crop instead of an seed sprout tea. Both are beneficial, and give different benefits.

Reason i ask is that i read somewhere, someone using the SST technique with the cover crop blend. Basically, they sprouted the cover crop (probably pureed it too) and used that as a seed sprout tea (for the enzyme boost). So, my question is: can i get that enzyme boost, without pureeing the sprouted seeds, and also use those sprouted seeds to become cover crop? (i'm guessing the cover crop blend might not be as... enzymatic, as something like buckwheat or barley, but maybe close?)

All seeds work. I'm not sure there is any research on exact enzyme levels for this application. I have soaked the seeds, rinse, put them in a 5 gallon bucket with airstones and let them srpout. Then you can use that water for your tea. Not as potent imo, but it doesn't destroy the sprouts and you would be free to plant them if you like. Really though, you only need to plant a cover crop once, and you can apply SST's weekly. Personally I buy things like sunflower seeds for like $1 a pound, puree them, and throw the leftovers in the worm bin.

Edit: and you always soak first and discard the initial soak water. This has root inhibiting hormones from the outer shell. After the initial rinse it's fine.
