Real Organics

[greasemonkeymann]

I've been pretty busy latley and don't have the energy at night to be fucking around with any plant. This morning I wanted to check on everyone. Seedlings look great. Tomatoes are a tad droopy (only on the top newest branches). Auto was looking ok compared to yesterday before I moved her and the booster.
I wanted to check on the soils ppm and the pot was alot lighter than the other day. I dumped in 3L of 0ppm h20. My runoff read 340ppm @ 6.9pH. That's a huge drop from the other days flush that read 780ppm.

However the twisted growth still remains.
Learning curve I suppose. I'm taking the day off and I'm going to review my records and play in some dirt. I can't neglect my grow for too long in between.

I know this thread is all about organics, but I'm actually debating feeding the auto some AN conni, big bud, bud ignitor, factor x, nirvana and sensizyme.
@2ml/L this will put me roughly at the 1000ppm mark. I've already mixed it up and it's bubbling right now. Personally, I think she can handle it after seeing how quick she destroyed the previous 780ppm. And she is for sure starting to flower now! Yay!!!!

if you have all that organic goodness in your soil, I seriously doubt you'll need to add any food man, you may screw things up...
I'd do a water only in that mix, 6 days a week and twice on sundays..

ya gotta find some ponds, and you are golden.
get some of that, and it's already loaded with BIMs
I gotta hand it to ya man, you really work HARD at it all.
make me feel lazy...

Lol that's just me, I feel like I have to be. I'm very involved in my gardens. I think it's OCD.

Not for the auto like I have aging now in a swimming pool. That's the good good and it's for the photos.

The auto is sunshine #4 with lime.
I've only given her FPE, kelp, and molasses up to this point.

Thanks brother, I'm really excited to use it too. Finally put my money where my mouth is. Lol lots of people talk on here but few actually back it up. Everybody's got a recipie but never show finished crops, ect...
I'm just glad to have someone like you in the thread.

Water with it!!!!! It's ideal for all the plant life surrounding and in it. It's a cesspool of aquaponic heaven.

ok that's what i thought, but it read like he was implying to do something with it other than that

I was, it's a easier version of that bm-1
I read about it on grasscity, something about that being used as an inoculant for a bokashi.
but you can absolutely use it to water your plants with, but it's a PITA to get.
There is some good information on grasscity in the organic area, leaf mold, and BIMs
if you haven't checked it out, you should

Does anyone have solid experience with autos here. Mine had not stretched or truly begun to flower. It's almost like it's stuck in between phases. It's mature already and has white pistols all over it, but no signs of budding.

Have grown few dozen. Let it go if its a good bean it will finish

 

[Grandpa GreenJeans]

It's my understanding that autos don't have a "preflower" stage. They're supposed to go right from veg into flower.
It looks like she wants to but where's the white puffs of pistols???? She is going on 5 weeks from seed now and being kept under a 7000k MH. Should I swap out the MH for a HPS? Put her ass in the dark for 24hrs? I don't know shit about growing autos. This is the first one that I've actually ever kept alive

Does mine look ok?

 

[Vnsmkr]

Let it run. Dont do anything diff. Auto= plant & feed. That is all

 

[Vnsmkr]

Looks ok, remember "kiss"....
