Which strains offer the best effects in terms of creative work?
So far I've found Strawberry Cough to be one of my favorites in terms of doing creative stuff like music.
A friend gave me a Sour Diesel brownie, smoking it was cool, but in edible form it was amazing, eating just 1/5th of the...
I heard comfrey and stinging nettle are great bedding for worm bins, though I don't think any comfrey grows around here in southern California.
I've seen stinging nettle, but in very small patches, and I went to the place where it used to grow in the wild and I didn't see any.
Are there any...
Thanks Reap - experience is the best teacher. At the end of the day just gotta do it, and see what works. Not to mention there's always many variables, some which aren't mentioned, so what works in location A might not work in location B, etc etc.
Crazy how growing can be so simple, and people...
Thanks Kratos, great insight as usual. I was actually thinking about this - how at first growing plants seems so complicated and scientific... but now I realize all the stuff that works really well is just what you'd see happening in nature. Heating mats help seeds germinate because it mimics...
Looking good!
How big do you make your holes, in which you mix in your super soil / EWC?
How would you say is your ratio to your ground soil to super soil + EWC? (eg. 70% ground soil / 30% super soil, etc)
That's interesting you say you didn't notice a difference in your container plants - I've heard from another seasoned grower that it only helped in his outdoor in-ground plants.
Maybe your container plant soil was so good, the JMS didn't make a difference? The person I knew said he thinks...
I need to try that.
I've heard enough people say that aerated teas helped them (someone said they're growth was like 50% more, compared to just watering). But I'd like to try comparing side by side just EWC top dress / aerated worm tea / worm extract.
One day. I also need more pots to grow in.
Thanks Richard for your feedback - I was thinking of going with an airlifter, think that would be a good solution to aerate the tea, vs a airstone?
Also, what are your thoughts on compost extracts vs aerated compost teas? Some say extracts are better, but I am still researching on the subject...
There is some controversy online as to whether compost tea isn't the same as just adding compost or worm castings as a top dressing, and watering.
Have you seen any large benefits to brewing your own compost tea, vs just applying compost directly?
(Also, does bubble size matter when brewing...
I have a organic worm bin going, I feed em food scraps as well as organic amendments like kelp, malted barley, etc. Didn't list it, but also going to mix in worm castings as part of the compost ratio.
What kind of beneficials would you add to get the biology going, any specific products or...
Thanks - I noticed it's not an exact science, so many variables, as long as more or less things are there, nature will use them.
Another question I had was - if planting in the ground, should I mix in native soil with my supersoil?
Made a post about it here if you might have any feedback...
I’ve been hearing that to fill the 60 gallon hole I made in my backyard, I shouldn’t fill it with [only] my regular super soil mix, but rather mix in the local soil, so that when the plant reaches the edge of the hole, the roots will keep growing into the native soil.
I’m in Southern...
