Lol, I have all sorts of grass, cantaloupe, cucumber, pepper, berry and tomato sprouts that every couple days pop above ground in my 20's. Certainly a good sign that the soil is rich and alive.
Props on frosting out on day 6. That's quite the yeild. Lol
Gorgeous as always!

I hate to tell you this but that calayx pic has a gnat on it. Hiding on the backside of the calayx.

Edit. ... um there's 2 actually. But the more I look at it the more it looks like they are stuck to the resin like they would on a sticky trap.
I'm sorry but that's pretty cool as long as they don't go for the colas!

Nice eye! Yea bought some coco, there were a few in there but they're no problem now. Caught about a hundred almost, now they're all gone. . Thankfully.

Edit:
You were right by the way. Both were fried high and dead.. Some potent glands, i guess. at least they died high, haha

Their favorite thing is root exudates!
So healthy roots and a nicely aerated soil that avoids compaction would be good

I know that I really dont talk to you much, but I really do think about what you tell me! You explained that Myco fungi was important and I asked how you feed them. I took a little time and I found some interesting articles about Bio-char. I have talked to Grease about using it, but I didnt understand all of the benefits! This article explains that biochar feeds both bacteria and myco fungi! It can hinder growth if the biochar is not charged first and cause unfavorable conditions for fungi growth also.

Great read, but it does show how little we actually know about the interactions/mechanisms of soil biology and chemistry.

My fellow herbalist, youre assuming myco arent genius little fungi . They got life figured out.. They feed their masters and their masters feed them..the plant does the work for us, no need to worry about food sources ! The light is the main food source, in a way, I'd say..

It's a very very natural thing in nature remember .. Bio char I see as a forest fire .. It happens here and there but its not a precursor to a forest growing, fungus is whats necessary .. Once composted everything it becomes a weapon again it seems, (edit: Mother Nature is one bad bitch, hey?)

Here's what I'm kinda saying/ trying to illustrate:
  1. "Mycorrhizae are symbiotic relationships that form between fungi and plants. The fungi colonize the root system of a host plant, providing increased water and nutrient absorption capabilities while the plant provides the fungus with carbohydrates formed from photosynthesis."
Hope this simplified things a bit!
