Holy shit! I feek like a legand returned. So many questions hahahaha. What is your current setup? Seemed like you were still experimenting last time you posted. Still running em1? Big sips with vermeculite floor? Thank you for posting this back when you did man, it was a game changer for me
To be completely honest with you, my entire life got turned upside down. The now ex fiance was fucking what used to be my best friend. And my entire world got turned upside down. So currently I'm not even growing anything. I lost all my genetics, all my beans, I mean everything. And I'm actually focusing on running a small hotshot business at the moment and literally living on the road. I drive cross country about 6 days a week.

So haven't really settled back down yet to pick up on growing again. But I will one day.

Sorry to hear the troubles man! Thanks for confirming the airstones! Crazy time to be in the trucking/logistics game for sure.

I should started my original post with a HUGE THANK YOU to @Greenthumbs256 Your initial write up took some time and really did cover everything. This method was a complete game changer for me and it is because of you. My whole room is running this method and i don't think I would have found it or had the nerves to try it without your thoroughness. Sorry for not showing proper respect at first.

I’m completely sold on this method! Thank you @Greenthumbs256 for creating this and showing us the way.

i wanted to ask everyone here about your thoughts on using probiotics with SIPs to restore old clones. Kevin Jodrey has a video with Alan Adkission where he talks about keeping his mom in Earthboxes and also how he was able to watch them revitalize themselves using probiotics/SIPs.

I was thinking about making a small SIP for a 25+ year old clone I have to see if I could bring back it’s full expression. It’s not a dud, but I think it’s a bit tired.

I’d love to hear anyones thoughts on this

here is the video-

See if you have a feed store around you. You know, like cattle feed store. Call them and see if they have wheat bran w/o additives. I messed up once and the bran had gypsum in it, no bueno. If you are already making homemade LABS, then making Bokashi(not grokashi) is pretty easy. Grokashi is just added ingredients to bokashi recipe. The additives are kinda pricey too, like Youngevity is $60 a bottle. However, I started drinking the stuff too and like it. There is also this other stuff called Super Cera powder, it's from the same company that makes EM1. It's also $60 for the smallest bag, but that little bag will last forever. I had to buy a kilo of the stuff and I think that you only use tablespoons of the stuff at a time. I might need a couple of days to get beets. I buy them whole and juice them in my masticating juicer. I might revive one of my old threads and just add to it.
Question on this. The bag I bought (horse feed) is Rice Bran and Calcium Carbonite. I figured the extra C couldn't hurt but am I wrong? Should I not use it?

Ooof here we go again lol
Oh come on man, your not even sipping anymore lol. Its not a major situation, im just picky and think this one could have looked a little better so figured it was worth throwing out there. Risky wasn't the right word more would it be a waste of top dress supplies. Im cheap lol Since you've turned to the darkside, do you think youll ever return or are you liking the bed?

I don't think I will ever go back the bed (aside from shoveling all that damn soil) is incredibly easy! And check out these results!

I think my last topdress may have been a little thin. Do you think i could do another topdress at week five and get any benefit or too risky this far in? @Greenthumbs256 @CrunchBerries
I say do it, what strain are you growing? I watched a video by Brandon Rust and he talked about the plant having enough nutrients to go into senescence and end. I know this is is pure anecdotal but my last grow I wish I would have top dressed it around week 5. If your soil is really active I think it will process the top dress much quicker, especially if you have worms.

Im leaning this way also. My last round went perfect, this one is just a bit lighter green than last round and had a few spots to it. First strain was blueberries and oranges. This one is Chocolate Diesel
