Total Noob using teas and I am a believer

Great pictures Hamish. Those are really packing on the frost.

I concur. Beautiful looking plants Hamish. Your pics have me very excited to see what comes of my Bodhi beans!

edit: Do you make hash Hamish? Those fan leaves are already covered in frost. This could be an epic hash run from those girls!

 

[mycomaster]

You always bring the class Hamish. Your plants are out-of-this-world frosty bro. Can't wait to see them right before harvest. Bud Porn!
Peace & Love. Myco

Here is a video about the girl who was saved by marijuana:

[h=1]Marijuana stops child's severe seizures
http://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/charlotte-child-medical-marijuana/?hpt=us_c2[/h]


Anyone who is against medical marijuana can eat a dick.

I get so mad that children in this country have died from that type of epilepsy when cannabis can keep the seizures at bay.

The poor child went from 300 seizures a week to 2-3 a month.
She is living and thriving now thanks to low thc, high cbd cannabis.

I could not imagine watching my child go through such hell.

sorry for the rant

We just had a family move to Colorado from a local town in my non-medical state because CBDs were the only thing to stop their 17 month old child's seizures.

I hate living where I do, it's ridiculous.

I only been smoking for a year and its already helped slow down my pollup formation in my intestines and stomach and rectum, I developed 0 over the psst yr, coming from a 24yr old who went surgery 4 yrs ago for having over 300 pollups and had to have a major colostomy surgery to cure me, they removed alot of tissue and marijiana could be a benefit to my disease, I have a disease called F.a.p. its genetic and has no cure. My grandpa died at age 37 , my mom nearly died at 35 and with all ny pollups at age 20 I would of died by age 30 of cancer if left untreated, if I would of been a stoner growing up I may not of ever had to have that surgery. I may of had 50 pollups instead of 500. Who knows but it helps me w pain and discomfort and anxiety and helps me get in better moods. I plan to move to where its legal and better my life.

Trying to figure out how much, my strains I'm running now, they need. I've been doing less then more to be safe, and they desperately needed fed, so I feed them today with a flowering nute recipe.

I know each plant/strain is different.

How often do you organic guys normal feed nute teas? For a general rule of thumb. I'm thinking at least once every two weeks if not more.

 

[hyroot]

I only do nute teas during veg. once every 2 weeks or so. I just topdress enough at the beginning of flower to last all the way through. I do compost teas and seed sprout teas and the occasional botanical tea. I topdress vc every few weeks too

 

[AllDayToker]

Learning, okay. Still listening. Wrote that down.

 

[May11th]

I been doing pretty much what hyroot said but im starting a new mix of soil up that I hope to just feed accts to, I enjoy making teas but im going to supply a good bit of nutes in the soil, I just got done with a rlo run that wasnt amended and it was very finicky, so going to a super soil route, 3 transplants, 1 in mild mix, 2 in half supersoil then hit them in flower w nearly all supersoil, 1 gal then 3 then 7. I may use up a few 10 and 20s but Im unsure if I need to.

Trousers example is a good one to highlight here. I would agree that if this were an isolated incident where maybe he forgot to water one night and his soil dried out, then really no harm done. If I understand his problem/question though, that wasn't really the case. He was having wet/dry cycles constantly due to low rh and fabric pots... which to me would not be good. At least not optimal. I'm not saying that his micro-friends would go dormant, but they wouldn't be firing on all 8 cylinders.

A case of agree to disagree from my side St0w. I phoned up a pathologist buddy that works at an agticultural lab. She reckons if soil microbes were that fragile they would not exist in the wild in most of South Africa. Looking at soil is her job. I trust her. Anyhow I am grumpy now. Lost 6 seedlings over night.

I basically don't feed until cotyledon leaves start yellowing. 1/8-1/4 dose of whatever keeps is safe first feeding. Journal results for that strain. Microbes help the rest of the way, while steadily increasing nute amounts. You can feed nute teas every watering in small amounts or every other watering in increased amounts. Whatever floats your boat really. Once you got your ACT and nute teas down, than there's your enzymes and foliars hope you have some time on your hands. End product will be worth it!

Damn true hamish.

savor it. Probably won't happen again for a long time... Lol

Putting some theory to the test. Top dressed my seedlings with EWC. If good microbes beat down bad ones, this is probably the only line of defence. Lets see. I now miss my hydro rig. Never had deficiencies nor moulds or damping off etc. Just being honest here. Come March, the SoG will be kickin. Hydroton, ebb and flow. Max yields. Healthy and clean. I used to pull 800g per month. The rate at which plants grow in soil this will never happen. I need to talk to Genuity. Organic hydro seems like my future.
