For real...
I just had some very weird leaf growth in my veg tent, after eying out a little too much Ful-Power...
They are back to normal a week later, and no more fulvic, but seeing the OD effects is weird, they looked unhappy. Curls and spirals, and they also put out some lopsided 3 leaf fans...whoops.

Are you using the ful-power as a soil drench, foliar, or both?

I went to oc farm supply. Picked up a few bags of eco scraps compost. Its by far better quality than home depot eco scraps and different mix Its more broken down or composted and finer grains. From a distance it looks like ewc. Its moist and smells good. Some of the time home depot ones are not broken down enough. Its almost always dry and smells like Norco. They gave me an tangerine /.cucumber hybrid they grew. It was different. Im stoked on what I got. I dont have to cook it myself for a couple weeks.

Sweet! They sell big bags of EWC also. It looks like coffee grounds. I picked up my batch of strawberries from them this spring. They are still going strong. Can't wait to put them under the greenhouse dome for next season so I get to have some of the strawberries

Hey hyroot, have you had any issues with the ecoscraps compost, other than it not being broken down enough? Im trying to find a good quality vegan compost to replace my Alaskan humisoil now that I found out that it's just peat moss. I've read some bad reviews about the ecoscraps. People claim to be finding mold, plastics, and shit tons of aphids, so I'm just curious if you've encountered any of these issues. I know everyone on here recommends Bu's Blend, but I'd really like to keep it vegan if possible until I can start making my own compost.

Its good. The worst ones were dry and not broken down and smelled like manure. Once it aired out for a couple days, the smell went away. It only took a week or 2 to cook. But apparently there are different mixes. The home depot one says its made from fruits and veggies. Lists the fruits veggies. The one at oc farm supply has different packaging and says on the bag its made from veggies and fruits and composted forest products and monmorillonite clay.
The people who own and make it are local. So it depends on where you buy it. If you are not in socal. You should get it from Eco scraps directly.
Mo how much was the bag of ewc? I didn't even look or ask. I've been making my own. But I'm running low right now.

I think all my worms died. I don't see any. It got pretty dry in there. Ive been so busy. Been behind on garden work. It doesn't smell bad and doesn't really have any odors coming from the bin. I just went out to my 30 gal avacodo planter and pulled out 20 red wigglers real quick. Added them to the bin. I know that's no where near enough.

Yes I have seen those plenty of times.it sometimes is a retarded pheno that is different. Like russet potatoes. The Uk cheese is really a retarded skunk 1 pheno . Cinderella 99 is a retarded Afghan kush pheno. Others times its just still an immature plant.
Kelp and neem would be best.
Oc farm supply does have red wiggler worms. "$14 for a big box" said the girl on the phone. She didn't know how many or how much it weighed.
