Been there and got to do that again today, I've got like freaking 15 square feet of worm bins going on right now just at home.
I am up to my elbows in worm poo. :-D

That is why my organic farm business will be making worm castings on large scale and I hope to sell a cubic foot for less than Roots Organic.
I plan on offering various base compost for bedding and food sources to meet some finicky customers. So freak that organic steer manure, the though of...
I agree with headtreep, though first one must start with good genes, however if you put good genes into a poor environment, the complete expression of the genes will not be present to the degree of the health of the environment the genes finds themselves in. So to use a numerical value such as...
Klayx,
Just asking what you thought, I am sure you don't need P personally, but, the color in the leaves size of buds suggest possibly, I really can't tell much else from the pic thus the question I posed to you what do you think?

Kalyx,
Unless it is the strain, with all due respect it appears to me that your flowering leaves are showing signs of phosphorus deficiency, what do you think?

Hey Steelhead,
Curious about soil temp,, PH, water source, watering practices and soil moisture level. Do you have red stems? Curious where on plant you're seeing leaves with deficiencies like. Are you in veg or flower?
You could apply powdered soft rock phosphate or fish bone meal to add...
HeadTreep,
I've read Teaming with Microbes, Building Soils Naturally. Have not read One Straw Revolution, but will look it up, any other suggestions. I've been so busying mixing and blending soils for a grower $$! Busy getting my own organic farm business of the ground as well
Got a question...
KLITE,
That would be BC, not sure what you mean what do I base myself on. I am all natural as can be and if I can get mother nature to do the work for me and I all have to do is ensure she is unimpeded and keep myself out of the way that is good. And if I can give her a natural boost I am all...
Looking good. Grown in recycled soil that I amended and cooked nothing added but water to achieve this at 37 days into flower. Yes I used a PH meter to make sure the cooking of this soil was complete before using. Unfortunately I am not in a space where I can fully implement ROLS, so I am mix...
Headtreep,
Microbes dictate is correct and if someone without experience in building there soils and observing issues with plants the key is obviously what is going on in the life of the soil. An experienced grower like yourself with keen insight and knowledge on your inputs to your soil and...
Oh boy do I really want to step into this one... let me try to be diplomatic on this, I think what we want to acknowledge is PH is important so I agree with stownngrow cause after all to low and you will lock out nutrients, increase fungi over bacteria thus impacting soil life ect.
However I...
My experience in such a tight space is you could probably do two with 16 branches each or 4 for with 8 branches. You will have to lollipop fan leaves to ensure light hits lower level of branches. I would not let any sites form below 8 inches from the tops to ensure nice fat colas on the top...
I've been looking at these, hear they are exceptional for compost tea making.
