5 gal bucket, couple (or one strong one) aquarium air stones/pump; 5gal water 1 cup of (preferably) earth worm castings/compost 2 or 3 Tbsp molasses bubble for 24hrs simple and very good! Start with this, try your dump compost and if your plants are happy then awesome, if not then maybe...

I think GO biothrive would only not be considered organic because of the minerals they add, specifically molybdenum (wiki this for some interesting reading & it's relation to nitrogen fixing bacteria) otherwise its mostly alfalfa, soybean i think and some humic acid / glacial rock dust thrown in...

^^^^Good shit man! To continue the container vs. bed topic, (but a slightly different situation) I've had a 20gal plastic tub I had grown a single monster bogbubble in and after harvest i just cut it at the base, topdressed with bone/kelp/alfalfa/neem and maybe whatever else might have been...

^^^ Nice, thanks for the link! Also noticed their EWC is veggie fed only, no animal poo :D

Thanks for sharing 1337, I appreciate the insight as I will be starting an indoor bed soon. The lazy man's bed in a 150gal smart pot that is. I have an excess of soil i reuse so the soil purchase is already there, i just need to whip up a larger batch of amended soil and figure something out...

the latest i transplant is @ very first signs of budding, less than 7 days into flower. What about just cutting the bottom of the pot off or adding bigger holes and setting it on/in more soil? That way the only affect is having more room for the roots to grow, no risk of shock. (?)

I didn't think they were, but most (or all) large vermicomposting companies use chicken/horse manures etc. to feed their worms (as well as green manure/compost). I had no idea until i started researching the worm business. All the more reason to have your own worm bin/farm at home so you know...

Finally find some rice hulls (locally)! All it took was actually taking 5 minutes to search online and i found a home brewing website that has a storefront in riverside ca, rice hulls for less than $2/lb oh yeah, probably cheaper @ feed stores, i'm checking out a couple of those tomorrow also...

Stinging Nettle, Urtica dioica, a quick search tells us it's full of good stuff plants love: Nettle is rich in chlorophyll, and a good source of beta carotene; vitamins A, C, and E; tannins; iron; calcium; phosphates; and various other minerals, especially silica. For the most part it seems...

Nice! 4 years is a good run, i'm into my 2nd year of reusing my soil and my plants are greener and greener rather then yellowing early, i do amend the living shit out of it though with many different ingredients :D thanks Kalyx for puttin' the link up. All i really buy now is a couple bags of...

good deal bro :)

hustler, i went through a bottle of the bush doctor microbe brew, and yea the plants dig it and yea i got some frothy teas....but then you realize, the product is essentially concentrated EWC tea in a bottle and they're making like 1000% profit, at least lol. You are bubbling it right? If...

^^^^ I'm looking for ways to ditch perlite alltogether, if not simply for the sickening amount of dust it makes. I need to buy pure coco, i was using roots organic mix to get my coco, and my shop won't sell me coconot anymore except by the pallet which at this point would last me a lifetime...

its hittin the mainstream market - plant tissue culture http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=PRAPTCCK&eq=&Tp=

Ya know what, i do think the alfalfa leaves its own unique slime buildup on my stones and sides of the buckets. I also notice when i use EWC vs. compost i get a chunky brown slime buildup and lots of it lol. I alternate buckets so they dry out each time and pull the stones out to clean in the...

Good stuff fellow growers and no worries on the hijack :D We're here for good discussion and that's what i've seen so far, although the organic vs. organic based is a topic i think we can all agree to disagree on lol. There's been some discussion on reusing soils & i see a few different...

yeah foliar & water with a liquid cal-mag for "instant" results and to quickly verify if that is the problem, if it's real bad and PH is actually the issue, it may be too far gone, been there done that, but still yielded good flowers. I use the same brand lime from home depot actually and mix...

Just ordered the CAPS bennies, looking forward to their arrival :D Also ordered some beneficial nematodes to help keep the dang knats in check Trichmasta, i add alfalfa meal, ladies lovin' it! i use a 1/2 cup per 5 gallon, but as mentioned above, i do notice they get very dark green lol, I...

Thanks Kalyx, I figured there's about a dozen threads started in just the first couple pages asking about soil mixes, why not get a thread going to condense the information so you can just scroll down and pick 'n choose what might work best for you and what's available. Pics are also great so...

Got my renewal today and was 1/3 price as last year :) Ah yes, credibility! Gotta see that Doc every year! :D
