Are you able to recommend a commercial product I can use as compost that is suitable for what we are trying to do? I'm new to organics. I also live in a small apartment and can't really make my own compost in this space...my partner would kill me. My growing already drives him crazy enough lol.

Heisenberg, are you saying that, in your opinion, elduece's method of reproducing myco is also ineffective?

Awesome. This sounds great. I can't wait to try it. I have a couple questions though. For the compost, can I use pure worm castings? And do you mix the ingredients thoroughly or do you sprinkle the phosphate, oatmeal and myco on the surface? How much rock phosphate should I use per pound of...

I recently purchased some Myco Madness (contains a biologically active package of 8 mycorrhizal species, 12 beneficial bacteria and 2 Trichoderma species). Now, I see tons of stuff on compost teas, but haven't been able to scrounge up much on fungi teas. I'm wondering if it would be...

Finally got my PPM meter. I'm growing serious seed's chronic in soilless pro-mix/sunshine #4 from seed. This is also my first grow. It's been four weeks since they sprouted and I expect I will veg for another 3-4 weeks. I came across a chart that lists the desired PPM of nute solutions as...

I contacted BlueLab directly and they were able to confirm for me that the reason the Truncheon isn't turning on is because the PPM of the RO water is below the device's minimum range of 100 ppm. It sucks that it isn't lower, though. Clearly my RO filter is working, but to what extent is...

bump bump.

This just arrived today. First thing I wanted to do with it was test the water coming out of my recently purchased RO filter to make sure it's doing its job (the water pressure is lower than ideal). When I test it in city water, I get a PPM of between 100 and 200, which falls in the range...

Bump. Does anyone know of a general purpose foliar spray that will deal with this?

I put my plants (which are usually indoor) on a balcony (6th floor) the odd time when it got too hot in my grow room and I brought them inside yesterday (after they had been out there a few hours) and this morning I noticed this on 2 of the 5 plants. It is very limited right now...3 leaves...

I found this for anyone who might be interested: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/spray-grow-coco-wet-wetting-agent-gal-p-3238.html It's what I'm going with.

I am relatively new to growing. I have heard people mention using liquid detergent as a wetting agent, but I need something that won't kill the microbes in an organic tea. Can someone point me in the right direction. If there is a particular product/detergent that you use, let me know the...

These seedlings are about 3 weeks old. They are under a 600w MH with an air cooled hood using a 400cfm fan as an extractor. Inside s 4 by 4 by 6.5 tent. Temps have always been higher than ideal, ranging between 75 and 88 degrees usually. It has been really hot outside lately and temps...

This is the light I am using...didn't purchase it of this individual but it's the same product: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/200W-ESL-CFL-Grow-Light-Lamp-6400k-growing-Reflector-/150651393682?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item231385d692#ht_2414wt_1139 The eBay seller says the lamp...

The CFL has a ballast built in. The light socket I showed in my first post is designed to be connected to a ballast, but that is under the assumption that it is being used with a HID light that requires an external ballast. I either need an adapter for that socket or can use the E40 light...

I just don't feel safe doing anything that involves wiring. I have no idea what I'm doing and don't want to cause a fire / electrocute myself. Here's what I'm thinking. It seems these large CFLs are way more popular in Europe. There are tons of E40/Mogul hangers on the UK eBay. What about...

I recently bought a 200w CFL light. It doesn't require a ballast but it uses a mogul type socket. I have extra mogul fixtures lying around but their end piece is designed to plug into a ballast (pic attached). Is there some type of adapter I can get to use this in a standard north american...

Pests came to my mind as well. I am on the 6th floor of the building. There isn't any other foliage around. What do you think the chances are of something in the wind hitting the plants?

I have a balcony that is obscured from the view of others. I am in southern Canada, about 2 hours from Buffalo. Currently I am vegging under a 600w HPS. The plants are only a few weeks old. Would they get better growth under the HPS or outside? I would still keep them under the HPS for...

Thanks mygirls. For posterity, I found the following answer on mixing chem and organic nutes:
