Hi Matt. Thanks for the welcome, and the info. The Sunshine or Biobizz mix are peat-based. I was planning to mix equal parts of peat/coco for the base.
Lately I'm mixing 40/40/10/10 coco/peat/castings/humus as my base and amend from there. But then I immediately cut that by 25% with #4 perlite.
Thanks for that valuable info, Wolverine97. Your mix is very close to what I had been planning on. I might try something like 40% coco/40% peat/10% Vermiblend/10% neem cake. Then I'll add some alfalfa meal and a little greensand, and then I'll cut it with big chunk perlite. Maybe I'll go 15% Vermiblend and 5% neem cake. What do you think Matt?
That's probably too much neem cake, but Matt would know better than I would about that item in particular.
Sorry I keep editing my posts. Vermiblend is supposed to be used at 15%, so yeah, I think I'll go with 5% neem cake, unless Matt says otherwise. Thanks again.
5% is better than 15. I dont have a percent numbers, but I do add about a tablespoon per gallon.
OK, if you're only using a tbsp/gal, I think I'll tweak my mix to 45/40/15 peat/coco/vermiblend, and throw the neem cake in with the alfalfa meal and other amendments.
The light cycle issue might cause hermaphrodism, which can l lead to immature seeds. Keep a good eye on it.
BioAg VAM, I use about a tablespoon per 5 gallons. You will save by ordering more. The BioAg is whole spores instead of micronized fragments like most inoculants. This means the shelf life is doubled.
You dont even need the bioweed or biomarine. I just do EWC and molasses.
Thx that's good to know man thanks for the advice my Plush are so close to coming off and my bubblebags are in the mail. And you've given me lots of hashporn to judge my product to. Neways now that I added the kelp and fish I was thinking on letting it go in my brewer for another day to give the bacteria enough time to consume the food and the Protozoa enough time to eat those motherfuckers. Will it make a difference or can I go ahead now and dilute and drench? Peace for now thanks in advance man
I would go ahead and drench. Without a real microscope you have no way of knowing what is really going on that second day, could be good could be bad. What is your tea temperature?
Yeah, and most of what I know if from Tim as well...Water temp bounce between 65-70°F I know thats a little low. It's also part of my reasoning for the extended brew time all my "tea knowledge" has come from you and Tim Wilson at this point so I figured you'd be the man for the job lol.
