Wow, that's a handy ass website! I've had a few recipes that I've needed clarification on ratios, not anymore!
I think most of us have some guano leftover...
Oh this doesn't surprise me! Vermicompost (screened castings have worked the best) is my main defense against pests. Before I topdress with neem/karanja I topdress with it. My seedlings are planted in almost 60% vermicompost too. The stuff is worth more than its weight in gold imo
I never noticed a reduction in mites when topdressing only EWC but that could be because I do not screen them. lots of work. I've bought every essential oil under the sun but the winner was right under my nose. Making a tea as this moment!
I think many of the people in this thread already knew about the pest suppression of vermicompost. The crab shell tea isn't going to work for mites, use emulsified neem oil.
I've never had mites (thank insert deity!), so I can't speak for them. But I've noticed that pests like gnats are gone within days, with Bti it takes weeks in heavy amounts. But, not all vermicompost is created equally, so that's something to remember.
It does if you make it! I "make it rain" (haha I couldn't help myself) pure h2o on my plants once or twice a week. So much so that it's similar to a light watering afterwards. My stomata are either full of goodies from a foliar or clean from pure water. Most of the time you can see a light layer of aloe leftover from my foliars in between my "rains". I do it in a slow process too, I literally take a home-use spray bottle and spray 1/8 of what I'd water with over each plant, all the way up to the last two weeks of flower. I'm lucky that I have an average humidity of below 40 percent or else I wouldn't do it that far in flower. I can tell when I don't do this as my leaves feel a bit stiffer, almost as if they're retaining water instead of transpiring. It doesn't matter how often I water and in what amounts, they're always like this if I don't (some of my house plants act similarly). I attribute it to my low rh.
Ooooh honestly in don't, but i do recall one called ABC freak strain, it didn't even look like cannabis, yield and thc was lo, but you could grow it in your front yard with out being detected
Oh I've popped hundreds of beans by now and have never found a single mutation, aside from my Yunnan landrace that threw the most perfectly symmetrical 8 bladed leaf.
If I'm correct, the Mongy strain is where the abc and duckfoot originated. Supposedly the mongy was a Aussie landrace that was crossed with a multitude of indicas and sativas by some old Aussie couple who found, then later gifted it to a friend when they were too old too grow. He supposedly crossed it with a Flo and then those seeds were passed around,especially by Marc Emery (I probably butchered his name).
One day I plan to get my hands on some of djs blue line. And not just for the mutations! I have absolutely loved every single strain that had some of the blue genetics in them.DJ Shorts Blueberry is notorious for mutations.... if you don't mind dropping $150+ for a pack of seeds.
There's a lot of ways to skin a cat man. Instead of spewing out a bunch of answers, let me ask you some questions first. What size planters do you use, how long do you plan on vegging your plants, what's your soil mix made up of, and do you plan on doing things like aacts, ssts, etc? All these will determine what method you should use to best suit your needs.
They don't most are just winging it , unless you get a Actual soil analysis Done your winging it plain and simple.. all organic additives are amendments not nutrients, And you are correct it varies Large in actual NPK And like you mention with top dressing is they never had enough of the A or B in there soil to begin with again lack of trully understanding LOS
