u just blew my mind dude cook free style ye i got a soil from the organic solution dudes it was called notill soil i think u can use it straight out the bag eather way i might cut it so i can start in it but eatner way it would be awsome to have a rotation of soils i might fill up the tent next run and do a scrog
Yeah bro, you can always label your soil pots, like not just with the strain name but with the soil name, so you know what you want to do after you know how it reacts.

I love to test 2 maybe 3 soils each round, slight tweaks of each other..

say one has a new aeration I'm trying, another a new top dress, and another, a new meal or mineral (or ratio tweak)

Then during and after my run/round I see whats my favourite way. Then the other pots get amended to match the winner then it gets re ran.

Just don't forget to take notes, and or label if you're going to test more than one theory at once! Bless up @giglewigle

The COCONUT seed & its coco water / cytoplasm of free floating
nuclei is:

loaded with calcium & magnesium, plus:

-awesome source of phosphorus
-good source of potassium
-zinc
-iron
-selenium
-sulfur
-manganese
-boron
-molybdenum

-plus b group vitamins

-plus myco nourishing carbs, all in natural form,

-plus cytokinins, natural plant growth substances (phytohormones) that promote cell division, or cytokinesis, in plant roots and shoots.

Making it a great high brix tool in the garden.

I go for Young Thai coconuts fresh from the store, that are heavy, not pink inside, nor brown outside, or high quality canned varieties with one ingredient only; simply fresh/young coconut water, no preservatives or sugar added.

I'll try a higher dose this week, triple the usual, and see how it goes.

Thanks, organic team. :)

(Arbuscular Endo-) Myco (rrhizae) fungi or AMF are a type the colonize roots for a small % (about 5%) of their sugar (derived from photosynthesis, or the sun) in exchange for more P, K. S, water, as well as nematode and pest defences, etc

Most types don't create hyphae that penetrate inside the root cells, normally they go between root cells

But growing and harvesting mycelium is a very very good thing as well.

Using whole kernels of rice can create quite a bit of mold too, I recommend making a really fine powder or flour from organic oats, groats, chia, or the sort, and sprinkle very lightly. Through a strainer if possible for a fine as possible dusting. This is the key to creating really light, fluffy, heavily visible mycelium, I think.

is that pic from teaming with fungi i gotta re read that so far i have teaming with fingi microbes and nutrients defanetly gotta re read those books i was looking at another book cant remember the name it was written buy a dude known as the rev got my light today i got a cheap 1000 wat chinease and my new one a 600 viperspectra its got a switch for veg and bloom i got em both hooked up lol with both switches on lol i hope i start seing some frost soon shes starting to stink up im gunna have 2 set up my carbonfilter soon wich is gunna be hard cuse i lost the strap things lol i got some that should do it

gotta say i wouldent of made it this far this easy if not for u cheers don u got any tips on drying and curing
Thanks bro glad we can pass the torch

my bro and I are working on a cure cabinet but its on the back burner while he learns organics and while I launch the soil biz.. but yeah bro, sure, kind of Depends on your goals..
if you look at the tobacco industry they usually aim for one category to excel in and tweak the regime for it.. as I was saying though, depends on your goals..

potency

flavour

density

bag appeal

sweetness

expansion

speed

smoothness

high

duration of high

but generally, aim for whole plants, which may require super cropping etc, but harvest if you can, the whole plant, root balls included, wrap roots in paper towels, mist only root balls daily, plants stay alive for a few days after cut, if you keep rH at 59% (below 60 for no mold, above 45 to keep process going, plants alive, metabolizing carbs and chlorophyll and thc-a / water into more thd-etc etc ) and air flowing good, around 400 cfm, and light dim, and temps above mold zone, so outside of the 10-20*C range.

Then basically, for stronger, longer, highs, and more dense product, but less smells, terps and flavour, you add heat and compression and different bacteria (less oxygen)

For sweeter, you want more fungal AMF diversity, high brix but not high P, and a slow and gentle cure

For speed, you want air flow

For bag appeal, space (hang)

For expansion, its all about the ICE, and killer genetics.

Then just make sure you dont skip the zinc and myco, cause that will help you adopt a water only style which can really boost smoothness

Also, curing for a long time, like 100 to 200 days, will do wonders on the herb. Almost goes a whitish yellow when theres no more chlorophyll left in it.

Supremely smooth

Then for that super super strong long lasting dope, you need to ice killer genetics and to provide iron, manganese, sulphur, magnesium, and other micros along the way in timely fashion; to take the end product a step further in the high department you may want to look into a form of curing called COB Curing...

They wrap bud sticks that are jar-ready and sweat and ferment them inside the husks from cobs of corn, seal, and in the end, you have these compressed cigars you can slice through, that can lead to visuals, and even short period of tracers and hallucinations .. if that's your thing :)

Kelp.. seaweed.. coconut.. aloe.. chamomile.. borage.. comfrey.. neem.. castings.. glacial rock dust.. greensand..
all loaded my friend. Like unbelievably.



I personally might skip the multivitamin although I love how open minded you are, they are fairly acidic and make me puke actually, its just I like to grow with things that I can consume myself, naturally. You're gonna become a very good grower, though, that I can foresee. It pays to push the envelope
