Thinking of trying a real simple soil mix using what i have on hand focusing on CEC.
Base:
50% coir
25% cattle manure
15% fresh worm castings
10% small nugget perlite
Amendments per cu.ft:
1/2 cup alfalfa meal
1/2 cup kelp meal
1/2 cup neem meal
1 cup greensand
1 cup rock phosphate
3 cups zeolite
If anyone is looking for diversity in their mineral arsenal look for a product called EcoTraction. Its 100% natural volcanic zeolite. I know Home Depot carries it among others. I grabbed a 20lb bag for about $17.

Cattle Manure (0.6-0.2-0.5) - is considered "cold" manure since it is moister and less concentrated than most other animal shit. It breaks down and gives off nutrients fairly slowly. Cow shit is an especially good source of beneficial bacteria, because of the complex bovine digestive system. Cow digestion includes regurgitation (cows chew their "cud") and a series of stomachs, all evolved to help cows more fully digest grasses. Since cow manure is more fully digested, it also is less likely to become a source of weed seeds than some other manure. Depending on your location, many sources of cattle manure can be from dairy cows. Recent expansion in the use of bovine growth hormones to increase milk production certainly could become a concern for organic farmers trying to source safe cattle manures. The healthier the cow, and the healthier the cow's diet, the more nutrients its manure will carry.

Cooooool, hey, bro!..

Be careful adding neem oil directly to the soil.

Too late!! Well, it was mad diluted..

Used 65 drops to a litre, that be under a teaspoon..( 80 drops to a tsp ) .. So 65 / 16000 = 0.00406% or less than half of 1 % total Vol

Hopefully all G

Been reading that spraying the soil is recommended so you get the larvae.. That its harmless on beneficial microbes and natural predators like ladybugs etc but targets pests like ours and makes them impotent so they can't keep reproducing..

Tested a baby clone..waited. looked good. so hit them all. Plants seem happy.

Pulled 6 clones off the big Forrest first though..

And didn't spray the bins of soil obvs.. Just the plants, both sides of the leaves

I know right!!!?

14/10 for a month is a helluva factor to factor in, tho..lol
Ruderalis has a mind of her own!

Was looking to nail some trich timing despite the potential higher yield .. Bottoms can fatten up more

Besides, poor china has 3 sativas at 3 ft tall under her plus others...quite the crowd.. And I be totally out!!

Lets see what DonWolf's got to say.. he's gonna inspect it under the scope too

Hahahaha some common knowledge = under rated secret weapons hey bro.

As for 3rd gen mega stackers, its when the clones of the clones are brought up and flowered.. They usually have the most bud and tightest inter nodal spacing of all, according the DonWolfo the Greats plethora of experience

These lil 2nd gen mamas are SERIOUS as it is, can't imagine getting much more stacked!! Should be good clone these clones real soon.. Cabinet is booming!!
