It's been a few weeks, and I'm into flowering now. Like normal, it took about 17 days to get some buds. So there was no super-natural reaction to the alfalfa or frass. That said, the plants look good and the ferments are working just like any other "tea" or "fertilizer." I'm going to use...

Cool info about rock dust. Thanks guys. In the past 1 used 2tbsp of rock dust in teas, following this recipe. And I've seen it as an ingredient in commercial liquid fertilizer, for micros and silica. Anyway, based on what everyone is doing, rock dust is "good" and utilized by soil and plants...

How much Rock Dust are you guys using? In the past, dudes were advising crazy amounts, up to 4 cups per cubic foot of soil. How are you using it? Just adding it to the all in one fertilizer mix, or applying it separately?

I copied a Dutch fertilizer called "Amplify" and mixed Alfalfa, Frass and Citric Acid, then sprayed it on as a foliar. I got a nice Praying Leaves "phototropic" response like I do with frass in teas, so I'll say it works. It was convenient just to mix the ready-to-go ferments right in the...

I had some EM-1 mixed up and didn't know what to do with it, so I made a bunch of ferments with all the dry amendments I had laying around. Now I have bottles of fermented Neem, Frass, Alfalfa and Kelp. What's the best way to use this stuff? Some kind of 1 at a time, optimal schedule to take...

35 ml per gallon or 1:100

Maybe that cheap thermometer is a little bit off and you're Really at 58% humidity.

Nice buds. Hassle free growing, without tracking down a million ingredients sounds cool.

How much worm castings are you adding to you Pro Mix? Is that it as far as compost? Besides the Gia Green and Azomite, do you add anything else in there? I've been thinking about starting a new batch of soil, with Pro Mix+ All In One dry nutrients because it seems cheaper than other stuff. But...

If you have enough stuff in your soil, and it's high in nutrients, you may not need to feed for a few weeks. Then when those nutes are used up you can feed however you normally do. How low is your calcium? If it's just a little low, your tap water might add enough calcium to grow plants OK...

Add about 20% compost or earth worm castings. Or "Happy Frog Soil Conditioner" if you want to stick to Farm Farms stuff. Then find a balanced All -In -One dry fertilizer and add 2-3 tablespoons per gallon of soil mix. My favorite is "Down to Earth BioLive" (5-4-2). But there are lots of...

I was searching around and saw that several types of bacteria and fungus actively digest and break down the silica from clays like vermiculite and convert it to plant usable form. So if you've got microbes in your medium, the silica from vermiculite is probably cool. From the search Several...

I ain't mad at cha.

Its good practice.
