those are the most burnt orange pistils I've ever seen! love the color of those.... and beautiful plants :)
Broke out a nice camera, not just a cell phone. I tagged them on instagram #shilajitgardening. The guy that distributes, shilajit garden resin, is getting an article in high times. Best photo with that tag is the picture for the article. Fingers crossed

Finished up mixing my soil, should be a little over 5 yards. I mixed 2 yards of locally sourced vermicompost. It's made with composted horse shit, lots of apples and some yard waste from the looks of it. I had about 3 yards of soil in last years pots. We mixed it up half a yard at a time.

@whitebb2727 @kratos015 thanks for the input guys. My teas are just basic bacterial in veg and fungal in flower. Im trying to figure out what kind of containers and pump to buy. Trying to keep it simple.

My soil base is roots organic for indoor. I am still building my pile of outdoor soil with old root balls. Got about 5 yards for my outdoor. Eventually the goal is to just recycle my old stuff and next year notill for my outdoor.

My soil mix has fish bone meal, neam, alfalf, kelp, dolomite, crab meal, oyster meal, epson, azomit, blood meal and bone meal. Might be missing a few.

I used my old soil from last year about 3 yerds and mix in 2 yards of vermicompost with worms and I assume their eggs.

So have you heard of shilajit? It's interesting but I'm not sure it's worth the money. What are your thoughts?View attachment 3904127
sorry my man, didn't see this.
i haven't heard of it personally, keep in mind when you're a compost-nut like me we have allll the fulvic and humic acids we need, so i never really looked for any products for those (if you lack the room for a compost pile, def get some humic and fulvic acids), in fact those acids may actually be the secret behind it all, compost reaaaaally made a profound difference in my grows, and the end product, and the end product i thought was "perfect" before i started using the compost, meaning what you thought was just great, was actually improved on noticeably.
gotta love that
but yea, between the fresh microbes and the acids, i'm fairly certain the magic is riiiight there

Right on, I'm not making compost yet but have started buying it for my soil mix. The shilajit is also a supplement for people. Here's some of the other stuff in it. IMG_0334.PNGIMG_0333.PNG

totally off topic but "shilajit" sounds like a new cuss word.
or maybe a new trendy word or phrase,
"yo man, that there is off the shilajit, yo!"
"totally off the hook brah!"

heh... ok, maybe i'm just a lil crazy
