But hes using cow manure. So its not just water. Why would he say only water when hes fertilizing with cow manure?

It's enriched soil, that only needs water. Fertilizer was added before the grow... Therefore, the grow is "water only"

giving water-only, for 8-10 consecutive weeks through flowering, once your soil has been built with sourced dry amendments, composted and alive with microbes, sounds like a dream! sign me up for that course

Some strains need a top dressing of enriched soil the day they go into flower, but it's still water only.

Yea, good reminder to always leave a lil headroom in the top of the container, from previous repot, in order to give u the handful of space to top dress. pro-tip #28

I said enriched soil. After the soil is enriched and alive, you put a plant in it. That is when your grow begins, and you add "water only".

It was a crappy year. It rained every or every other day all summer. The garden never had time to dry out. We still had a decent harvest. It is planted in greens and lettuce now.

You start off with everything the soil and just water the entire grow. The idea is to have a living soil that produces its own food. So all you need is tap water.

Same here, the deer and squash beetles were ripping the hell out of my garden. then it rained and messed up pretty much all the tomatoes. If they didn't get blight they cracked. I think next year I'm growing some with my weed.

Getting chopped today. I didn't clone it so this is the last run. I don't like the way it grows. It's a bitch to trim great smoke piss poor yield. Could've been a bad pheno I gave it a fair shake though. I ran her quite a few times to make sure it wasn't something I was doing.

Butchyboy turned me on to this book a while back. I knew quite a bit about soil building but this book covers it in detail, plus it gave me a few more ideas. So thanks butchyboy

It is the WORST to trim! You just reminded me. Lol
It was hard to please and grew weird.
First pack of seeds I ever bought! Wish I would've got regular seeds back then
