Temps are tough especially in tents. Can't wait to see how they come along

Was giving Guava Fritter a bath and realized she's already throwing out orange hairs.

Had a seed in a paper towel for almost 2 weeks, no tap root. Decided to change the paper towel and had my foliar spray nearby with humic acid and kelp + yucca added. Sprayed the paper towel with it. 11 hours later, tap root.

Very great idea, and proven trial!
Another old trick to get some old beans started is to soak grass seed packets, flower seed packets, throw them in a glass of water overnight, strain out the seeds and use the water to soak your beans. ( any fresh, new packets of little seeds work)

Never heard of that one! Interesting…I wonder if they flood the water with growth hormone or something of that nature.

That's exactly it. The cheap little bags of flower seeds seem to work good. Crack them overnight, and the water is filled with good stuff. A little $2.00 bag of cheap flower seeds. I did it with some seeds I made in 2010. I tried wet towel for five days and nothing. I grabbed six more of the same old beans and soaked them overnight in that flower water, then transferred to a paper towel wet with it. 3-5 days later and 4-6 pooped.

Been busy. Things are still going along.
Tweaked the way I was cloning and saw success, 3/3
2 cloned in perlite in modified gatorade bottles (cut them so the top could twist down into the bottom securely as a humidity dome).
10 days later, roots
Cloned another in a shot glass from a party game. Tap water, 8 days
If it's as easy as a shot glass, I won't bother with perlite!
Will take more clones and see what's up.
Veg tent has some options to try it out on.

Made lacto bacillus serum from rice water and whole milk. Keeps 1 year in the fridge. Smells like rich greek yogurt.
Benefits:
- helps establish healthy microbial environment.
- accelerates decomposition of organic material.
- produces lactic acid, which, controls pathogens and fungus in the soil.
- out competes harmful organisms.
- breaks down complex compounds like amino acids.
- enhances the uptake of nutrients when used alongside fertilizers.
- improves soil structure, contributes to the formation of humus, enhancing soil aeration and water retention.
- helps maintain a stable ph.
- reduces odor of organic matter.

Yeah that kelp and humic are something special, can't forget ole epsom salt!!! Love that shiznit!!! Works good in foliar too. Which reminds me i need more kelp!!!@@

Ok doing some experiments i see im taking notes. Already gonna borrow your Gatorade bottle idea!!! But gonna use a bigger bottle maybe 2 liter or a gallon.
So can u expand on making the bacillus? Rice water and milk. Ive used mosquito bits, i know thats BT a type of bacillus. Works on killing fungus gnat larve in the soil. They feed on the bt. I use it as a preventive early on in grow. Thanks for the tips, gonna put them in action over here.

Realized I forgot to post the recipe for the lactobacillus serum, commonly used in KNF (Korean Natural Farming). You can even put this stuff down your sink for drain health or ferment you animal feed so they absorb more nutrients.
anyway…
LAB Serum

LAB Serum
- Collect Rice Water:
- Rinse rice with water, and collect the first rinse water, which is rich in starch.
- Ferment the Rice Water:
- Pour the rice water into a container (preferably glass) and cover it with a breathable fabric or paper towel to allow airflow while keeping out dust and insects.
- Let it sit at room temperature for about 1-3 days. You'll notice a slight sour smell and possibly some bubbles as it ferments. This process encourages the growth of naturally occurring lactobacillus and other beneficial microbes.
- Add Milk:
- After fermentation, mix the fermented rice water with milk in a 1:10 ratio (1 part rice water to 10 parts milk).
- The lactobacillus will thrive on the lactose in the milk, fermenting it and separating it into curds (solid) and whey (liquid).
- Separate Curds and Whey:
- After 5-7 days, you'll see the separation. The liquid (whey) is what you want, as it contains a high concentration of lactobacillus.
- Carefully strain out the curds, and collect the whey.
- Store the Lactobacillus Serum:
- The whey is your lactobacillus serum, which can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a year.
- Dilution for Use:
- When you're ready to use it, dilute the lactobacillus serum at a 1:1000 ratio (1 ml of serum to 1 liter of water) for foliar sprays or soil drenches. You can increase the concentration slightly for more significant effects, but always start with a lower concentration to avoid overwhelming your plants.

2 liters or a gallon would be much better and give you more room.
just the recipe right before seeing this comment haha.
I need to get the mosquito bit bacteria, hate fungus gnats. That’s a good idea to use as a preventative. How often are you watering with it?
no doubt, you’re welcome! Each one teach one, I’m learning from you too

You are awesome! I love your devotion to organics and well thought out, researched conclusions. Nice rice water culture trick!

Guava Fritter, 17 days flowering. I was not prepared for how hungry she’d be or how fast she’d grow. My nutes started on the light side to err caution but she’s a greedy girl.
In the future, I’ll keep a higher N dose for the stretch and then taper off to bloom dominant nutes.
I think I have her stabilized, leaves haven’t yellowed further the past few days.
The top buds are almost quarter sized so this will be the last foliar feed.

Something I love about using a clear container is being able to see root structure.

I've used plastic milk jugs before and algae would be visible through the translucent plastic. Do you get algae?
