Coming down soon! I'm super excited. If she is anything like the early branch of Bubba's Meltdown was...damn! Can't wait

Wowzaaa. Those are so white with frost, you cant see any green on the flowers, great job, sistren! As per if its anything like the Bubba's Meltdown, well, you are in for a TREAT!!! The taste is often hashier and really clean and tishy, due to the sheer amount of resinous glands. Bit less floral but almost twice as expansive in the right pheno, its made many a notified smokers stop in their tracks and then the breath catching ensues... You can hardly sit when puffing the platinum, if at all, its a mover and shaker, no doubt, cant wait for your feedback, how much longer would you guess!? And thanks for the uploads once again, we appreciate it!

yo @DonTesla iv been looking into fermented plant extracts and i cant find any thing on fermented plant roots was just curios
Plant roots are one of my favourite worm foods actually and so I have never looked into fermenting them, but in terms of ferments, there are plenty of options.. are you trying to make a flowering food or more so an inoculant that will take care of pathogens and boost immunity.. those are the main categories in my opinion. Once you clarify your goals we can talk more.
Cheers,
Don

Its gorgeous here, for sure.

You're always more than welcome to come visit and stay here, if you can ever get a week off of work and growing, bud. Would be great times... we have a spare wing of the house, you could have your own jacuzzi jetted bathroom too. We dont even use that side of the house yet, its crazy.
Buddie this sound absolutely mint.
Fresh off the press.
haha "The West Wing"

If things shape up and out.
and i get my poop in a group.
we could praticly call it a quarterly meeting.

Out in not. Now- doing the drive back with truck and tools that have been out here for a year now.
going the northern route threw Sault saint marie,thunder bay,winning around the top of lake superior, perfect time of year for it, along the lake side, fall, Just before the snow flys.
better be before the snow flys as my winter's rubbers are back at the new pad.

Yeah its two houses joined as one!
May you be blessed with nothing but smooth dry highways brother, and lenient border folk!

A quarterly meet up would be awesome as terps man. Lets aim for it for sure, we can hardly wait for some friendly visitors!

well i think iv figured out what i actually need in terms of fpe im looking for somthing that will keep any and every pest out of the garden exept any bug thats benificial
I would start with making a good quality lactobacillus serum, then I would make BIM or Bokashi
The two go hand in hand really.

BIM
Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms(BIM) is a fermented microbial solution that can be used for many applications around the farm. It is loaded with microbes, and is a cornerstone of Gil’s Natural Farming method. It’s an incredible tool with a myriad of applications, some of which are discussed below.

How to Make:

The idea here is to collect microbes from natural healthy ecosystems. Different areas have different types of microbes in the soil – for example an old growth forest will have microbes that grasslands don’t and vice versa. To get the greatest diversity of microbes, you want to collect them from as many different habitats as you can. For starters, at least get from forest, grassland, and the boundary area between them.

TIP: Plant-specific microbes! If you are growing vegetables, find areas where natural veggies are thriving. If planting ornamentals, look for areas where wild ornamental type plants are. Also, target nitrogen-fixer plants since they have rhizobium bacterial strains present – legumes, as well as some other plant genuses such as Alder or Bayberry fall into this category.

Here’s how to collect microbes and make BIM:

  1. Cook a carbohydrate source to use as the attractant. Rice, barley, wheat, oats, etc should work no problem, most often rice is used here in Asia.
  2. Get a wooden box or perforated plastic box and fill bottom with rice. The rice should not be too deep, around 1 inch usually, otherwise it will take too long for all the rice to become infected. Don’t pack the rice, leave it loose to allow airflow. The whole idea is to create more space for the microbes to infect – the surface area of the rice.
  3. Mark side of box with date and intended location.
  4. Cover box with something that’s breathable – nylons stretched over, or newspaper, just something to keep big critters out – secure with string around top of box.
  5. Dig a little depression in the desired location, a place with undisturbed soil where a healthy population of native microbes is likely to flourish.
    TIP: In forest, look for areas where leaves build up and mold. In grassland, look for areas where grass is most thriving.
  6. Place the box in the depression and loosely cover with the dirt and leaves around it.
  7. After 5-10 days (depending on temperature), the first colony of microbes you will notice are white molds. Then different colors like yellow, green, black, etc if you leave it much longer. Generally we harvest when it is in the white mold stage. Disregard rice if black molds have formed on it, this is generally a sign of non-beneficial microbes. In nature when there is plenty of food the beneficial microbes dominate. When there is less food, the opportunistic, non-beneficial microbes tend to dominate.
  8. At this time, remove container from habitat and transfer rice to a plastic container/jar, and mix with sugar
    • Mix 1:1 with sugar. E.g. 1kg cooked rice with 1kg sugar/molasses(molasses is great and cheap)
  9. Mash up the mixture with gloved fingers until it’s mashed but don’t overmix or you’ll destroy all the mycelia
  10. Cover this mixture for 3-7 days.
  11. When it is quite liquid, add 3 parts water.
    TIP: 1kg=1L, so if you start with 1kg cooked rice, you’ll add 1kg sugar and then 6L water to that
  12. Leave this diluted mixture for 7 days. Cover the top with something air permeable just so animals don’t get to it – cheese cloth, nylons, newspaper, etc
  13. You should end up with a mud-like juice. Strain the liquid out of the mixture into a glass jar but don’t seal the top – let it breathe until bubbles in the bottom stop forming.
  14. After you stop seeing bubbles forming in the jar, seal it up
  15. Now you have your microbial inoculant for that ecosystem
  16. Repeat the above steps for each area you are collecting microbes from. The more ecosystems you collect from, the better!
To make the final BIM product, combine all your microbial extracts. To increase efficacy, combine this concoction 1:1 with lacto serum. Lacto is the workhorse and is good to have in combination with other microbes. Now you have created your BIM inoculant!

How to Use:
This is a powerful tool in the natural farming arsenal, with a myriad of applications! It’s a microbial inoculant, so it can be used wherever you are trying to increase/establish populations of microbes – the most basic level of a healthy ecosystem!

Add 1-2tsp per gallon of water.

Plants
Apply as a foliar spray or soil drench. Greatly enhances growth and health of plants by establishing a healthy population of microbes in the soil and on leaf surfaces. Check out the benefits:

  • Transports food to roots
  • Builds a healthy ecosystem from the ground up. This is an invaluable job and the greatest benefit of this serum.
  • Aids disease resistance – fights pathogens, occupies spaces that could otherwise go to harmful bacteria/molds.
  • Aid composting – massively enhances compost – there will be a whole separate post on this concept
  • Aid organic fertilizer. Add to your nutrient solution, microbes break down organic nutrients into bio-available forms that plants can utilize directly. Another key feature

More water-only cob goodness minus one foliar to enrich terp expression. Once you puff this style its hard to be impressed elsewhere. Dispensaries honestly have garbage compared to this haha. Original Pink Gangst doesn't play. No flash no filter just all natural expressionimage.jpg

Water only if you can believe it!

View attachment 4033816
I believe! (hey why isn't there an alien-emoticon on here? haha)

oooooo look at em pink heads!! 8-)
Did these get the foliar you mentioned too?

I had pink trich stems again too - all over my plant this time -, was clearly not genetic (PE auto I've grown a few times before), nor anything to do with pressure or temps. She had crazy nute problems which I responeded to crazily, with fresh plant smoothies, to get her through flower. I couldn't determine what it was that did it, but I took some notes, maybde with time I'll find a common denominator! :bigjoint:
