it'd shit alllll over peat moss man. and if you are looking for a pure leaf mold (be patient for one, it takes TIME) but i'd not shred the leaves if that's your goal, shredding the leaves typically steers the pile more bacterial. you want sloooow degradation of JUST leaves. for the record I...

when did you transplant the plants into the 5 gals? how long have they been in there? just be CERTAIN that's what it is, reason I say that is many, many other plant maladies are manifested verrry similar... and if you try and correct a calcium issue that isn't really there it'll exacerbate the...

actually you know what, i really like collecting leaves AFTER it rains man, the rain perfectly moistens all the leaves, and that actually helps with layering and such because then the nitrogen input will stick to the leaves better. you gotta moisten them anyways, and it's a lil easier than...

not to beat a dead horse or to sound like a broken record, but fresh comfrey will cover nearly ALL def problems you get. topdress fresh cut shredded comfrey mixed witht hat nice pimp castings you just got, and you'll never see a N,K,cal, or mag def again. it was all the nutrients bioavailable...

didn't see this response my man, sorry for the late reply. now i feel a lil dumb for linking the compost thread to ya.. the amount of turning of the compost is actually what influences the overall types of microbes, a "colder" compost (one that isn't made to facilitate the thermo portion of the...

well, they are one of the same, i have two composts, one is assembled with premium organic dry meals, with an emphasis on minerals to encourage fungal growth as well as slow release organic inputs to last the duration of the grow, while the other is a simpler compost of only leaves and grass...

just don't go nuts with the cocowater man, it does have a good amount of potassium and magnesium in it, with relatively lower amounts of calcium, so you don't want to mess with the ratio much there, especially considering it's applied via water rather than the soil. i LOVE coco water, but i'm...

sorry man, i was slammed at my shop today. so for 12 plants i'd go with three good sized comfreys they grow FAST, and they tend to be sorta like roses, in that they respond really well to coppicing one big comfrey can get you probably 20 bigass leaves every two to three weeks in the summer, in...

nah, see the issue(s) with supersoil and layering nutrients is a couple things, first they use water soluble nutrients, blood meal and guanos are not really very effective in the long run, they are both fairly soluble (the guano moreso of course) but the theory is flawed in many ways. first...

i don't think so, but sometimes the molasses can be meant for animal feed and sometimes that can be amended with other things but i can't come up with any scenario where they'd fortify molasses with iron. BSM naturally has iron in it but at super tiny amounts, any soil will have WAY more iron in...

yea, i feel ya my man, all the love at ya we agree on like 99.9% of everything anyways but yea, i definitely think that as the worms re-process the compost more and more that it almost certainly would be nearly 100% bacterial, and like i said that's not a bad thing at all, we all know cannabis...

ok, so i have absolutely NO hard feelings at all man, i'm extraordinarily laid-back, i'd like to help you if you want it's one of my philosophies in life to treat all people with respect , and i apologize if you mistook what i said, i attempted (failed it would appear) to be clear that my beef...

i'm beyond fuckin stoked to hear that man, and THAT is exactly why I spend time on this forum, to hopefully let others see how easy and cheap it can be to actually get the best results. I feel compelled to show/tell as many as possible, simply because I wish I would have learned about this...

well, i'm not sure how to respond to that, if you re-read what I said I thought I was being fairly clear that the object of my scorn wasn't you in the slightest, it's the hydro companies that insist on breaking up all the little parts of their nutrients into a "lineup" and then essentially...

eh, alright?

nah man, I didn't mean it like that at all, that's why I mentioned the companies as the object of my aggression I can give you probably ten different recipes for a water only that'll do a sativa no problem, provided you give the lady some room. dependent on the flowering times, but I typically...

keep in mind a bottled grow even with organics is much closer to a normal hydro grow rather than a natural one. natural grows are more predicated on fresh humus and microbial diversity to bioconvert nutrients and soil inputs to humus and a cycled bioavailable form of nutrients, rather than a...

hmmmm it just occurred to me... Massachusetts and doug mirabelli.. boston... red sox... catcher another retired millionaire ex athlete that's growing herb in their closet? haha

same as any bottled nutrient really, it's just water based. you are paying mostly for water, and having the nutrients all separate and such is asinine to me, but I'm not a big fan of hydro companies anyways they are laughing allllll the way to the bank on the typical cannabis growers' tendency...

nah I think if it's outside in 0 degrees it'll be dead-dead. I don't think it'll come back, comfrey on the other hand totally will but aloe ya gotta keep inside in the cold, it'll die in anything around 40 or so, at least the ones I have do. but either way, any local hardware store (home depot...
