fattiemcnuggins - whatever is pictured in the 2nd picture can't be nematodes...you're camera doesn't have that good of a macro lol. almost all nematodes aren't visible to the naked eye...especially against a soil background. are you referring to the little fuzzy patch in the picture? i can't...

i apply barley seed tea once or twice a week, maybe a corn seed tea once a month, the occasional kelp/ewc tea if i really feel a plant needs it - but usually i just top dress the goodies i want to add and then water to start the decomposition process.. coconut h2o in every other water or...

dr bronners is the shit..been using it for years. you can use it for everything.. when I was traveling around NZ i had a tiny bottle of dr bronners that i used to bathe, do laundry, dishes, clean floors, etc. works wonders, lasts forever cause you only have to use a tiny bit, and it smells...

why no neem? seems like you got two emulsifiers but nothing to emulsify! not that soap and silica don't have benefits for pests/fungi on their own...

snapped a top off one of my Flav plants a few days ago while attempting to LST/supercrop/do anything to make it stop growing into the lights lol. Hoping it doesn't affect her too much..she's only about day 20 flower. it was one of about 8 tops that are all at the same height. damn ROLS pots...

rrog - I got the barley off amazon. here is the link http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Barley-Seed-Ornamental-Barleygrass/dp/B000E7OYVU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1364589107&sr=8-3&keywords=organic+barley not a bad price at all...especially since we aren't buying in bulk here... a source list for ROLS...

my LHBS carries tons of grain, but they only carry malted grain...i can buy 50lb bags of malted 2-row for instance, but I can't get 50lb bags of straight unaltered 2-row. I live in southern california if that makes any difference... you work at a brewery? you bastard.... lol which brewery if...

~24hrs after application of a barley enzyme tea. This was taken soon after the lights turned on. they always seem to perk up during the dark period after the enzymes "The Jesus Effect" pray, pray, pray micro clover popping up in the no-till

you "mainlining" that lady? looks like some nice bondage to me... :)

Snafu - honestly, I am not quite sure why we use barley, but if I had to guess it would be because it is the cheapest thing available for the amount of protein/enzymes it provides. like rrog said, corn is another great cheap option. alfalfa works great if you are already sprouting alfalfa...

or prepackaged salads that are all "rinsed" in bleach. mmmmmmm

personally I would avoid anything with sodium in the name... i believe calcium bentonite is what you want...not positive though. do your research before tossing it in the soil

~24hrs after application of a barley enzyme tea. This was taken soon after the lights turned on. they always seem to perk up during the dark period after the enzymes "The Jesus Effect" pray, pray, pray micro clover starting to pop up after 4 days in the no-tills

This is the water report for my city...in the eastern part of the Inland Empire in good ol' southern california. the year the water was sampled is in parentheses, and all of these numbers are averages, with the range supplied in the original document but I was too damn lazy to c/p that as well...

lol yeah perchlorate aint good stuff...unfortunately I know for a fact that it is in my tap water. on my town's website there is a whole section dedicated to perchlorate FAQ...not a good thing. rain water would be a good option if I didn't have poison acidic rain also...the inland empire ain't...

For those of us with truly contaminated tap water (beyond just chlorine/chloramine) RO is by far the best option. Don't wanna be giving my ladies perchlorate.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perchlorate amongst all the other shit in our municipal supply... no thanks...

:) thanks for that varanoid I actually did know it was called an ootheca...but figured most folks here wouldn't/wouldn't really care, so I used cocoon for simplicitys sake. i shall be more scientific in the future... applied a barley enzyme tea to everyone yesterday...pics as soon as the...

so it's a nitrogen fixing algea? anyone know the scientific name of the strain? you got me interested...

2tbs per gal is a better rate to save you money...i believe that is the threshold at which applying more doesn't do much. also potassium sorbate is bad if that's in there...definitely check it out coconut water 1:15 dilution

for real though...i had to tie a bunch of them down last night because they are exploding towards the light...these no-tills are no joke... i need a bigger tent!!!
