Thanks for the advice about kelp, don't use it myself. That's great to know.

I agree to a certain extent, but blood meal is 100% ok as a top dressing, especially No-till. It's one of my favorite amendments.

Heat is not the problem, it's just the nitrogen gas and CO2 escaping + the microbial activity.
It's organic carbon which it needs, so it breaks down properly and doesn't go rank. That's why putting it under the mulch is best. Mulch is carbon all day.

I'm quietly of the opinion K and P was possibily in excess, in the beginning, causing the burn and lockout. By no means disregarding the light either. Wouldn't at all be surprised if it was both.
yeah i belive this to be true

Sorry man. I'm confused what the hell he's talking about. I'm just trying to make sense of this shit, lol.
I hate this stupid drama. And I've been a troll baiting you. Forgot your threat to block me? Ignore. Just hate salesmen. I'm prejudice. I hate salesmen. Waiting for yours. Amazed I haven't seen 3. I do what I do well. And I don't rely on as seen on the web or shiny. Share knowledge. Not sales brochures.

I said it. Just to ease your erratic self.

Apologies again to the OP. You did open it up. LOL.

Get over your price tags and get along. It takes more than money and a few successful grows to do this reliably to your set ups maximum potential.

Do you really wanna give advice if these are your plants? I wasn't gonna comment before, but you've pushed my buttons man.
Mid feb. Mother in front of a window vegging next batches. NOOB! Get a clue dude. MI it's below freezing here and I can grow that with nothing but 40W added light in winter.

Take your meds. I can't understand what you're trying to say.

Foreign species to me. Down under? You can learn some powerful delicate growth techniques from your orchid societies. They are native and require pure natural water soluble food. Look into that for root development suggestions. You might be rewarded. Learn the attributes of local nature.
Haven't used it I use sugarcane mostly. Looks like perfect mulch material though. Really similar looking to sugarcane.
You wan't something light, loose and airy. Breaks down super fast.

Never use wood chips. Wood chips are shit for our own growing circumstances.

Yeah ozzy. Oh yeah...definitely agree there. Orchid industry is insane. There's some great apple orchids where I am.
Throw me some information about the orchid industry tricks you're talking about. Would be much appreciated.

Totally, there should be a little permaculture in everyone. And if you can't produce what you need yourself, should do one's best to source local best you can. More sustainable, less carbon footprint and you're using someone elses waste.

That's almost all what organic growing is about to myself, in a nutshell. Sustaining and cultivating life itself is my passion for it too.

I live in the middle of Michigans fruit belt. Not much of use for growing beyond spoiled fruit for composting. The growers on the other hand can be world of knowledge. They may be synthetic for profit. But they know the processes and organics. Get to know them. Work for free for a few hours if needed. It is worth it.
