lol its okay my AC exhaust vent came loose yesterday and it was reading 99.7 in the room :) back to normal now though...thank god. still..my canopy temps are going to be consistently in the mid 80s from here on out (except at night i guess)

god...how much do you think it would cost to setup blumats for 2 flower tents - one that is 8x8 and another 4x8....usually around 30 or 40 pots, 90+ plants... how does the water pressure work also...i haven't even looked into them honestly...just another thing to layer on top of all the shit i...

hence the citric acid in the "preservative free" brands of aloe...the problem is getting the dilution right, and i'm not sure where to start with that. the real question is - why are we trying to store it in the first place?

call feed stores...they usually sell #50 bags of kelp for livestock owners...i've been quoted around $90-$110 usually. shipping #50 of anything is usually a rip off...much better off to find it locally. somewhere must have it... go on google maps and look for farm/feed stores...call and ask...

teaming with nutrients is in my cart on amazon right now :) my bokashi setup consists of a 5 gallon bucket w/ holes drilled in the bottom, placed inside of a 6 gallon bucket w/ spigot (can purchase at a homebrew store for around $10). then there is your typical 5 gallon bucket lid to assure...

Every new worm owner should have the book Worms Eat My Garbage by Mary Appelhof. Cheap, succinct, and will guarantee success with your bins. I recommend this book to folks all the time...its up there w/ one straw revolution, teaming with microbes, etc. on the recommendation list. one of those...

ICmag is full of brilliant folks ;)

:) I sent a few very cordial PM's to a few of the organic mods (malignant, potroast, budnugbong) a couple weeks ago and haven't heard back...shoulda PM'ed you lol. this would be an awesome sticky, along w/ the official vermicomposters thread. VC is an integral part of most folks' organic soil...

yup you are correct! hyroot - you should've used the aloe right away...kelp can be steeped for a while, but aloe reacts with oxygen and you start losing the beneficial compounds after roughly 20 minutes. not the end of the world, but next time use it immediately! on another note - some...

lol i have almost every single one of those things in my house.... do you foliar w/ the karanja oil? i have been having issues getting the ahimsa neem oil to emulsify properly...do you use dr. bronners or potassium silicate as your emulsifier?

Precisely :bigjoint: let us know how it works for ya!

are we talking rubbing straight aloe gel onto the leaf like you'd rub it onto your skin? lol. try it out i guess...might mess w/ the stomata somehow

spliff - yes, just dip cuts in the fresh filet for a minute or so, then transfer to your medium. can't hurt to soak the medium in the gel as well - or mix up a dilution w/ h2o to get a proper soak. you can also mix 1/4 cup of aloe to 1 gal of h2o and let the medium and clones sit in that for a...

i'd dip em in the gel first for good measure, then proceed w/ the foliar as planned. a little dip can't hurt ;) also you could soak the medium (rockwool, rapidrooters, etc.) in an aloe solution for a few hrs i still like to use cootz method :bigjoint:seems to work pretty well LOL

up to 1/4cup per gallon soil drench...i know folks who have used 2x that amount w/ no ill effects 2tbs/gal is what i use for foliar, 2x per week hyroot - horizon herbs is great for comfrey - follow the link a few posts back. bocking 14 root cuttings is what you are looking for, if I remember...

it doesn't keep....just like fresh aloe where you have about 20 minutes before the goodies start to disappear here is how the conversion breaks down: it is called 200x because if you mix 1 gram of the powder with 199 grams water you will get a liquid that is effectively the same as store...

I'm sure cootz has a reason for it being more involved....maximum enzyme yield. if i'm not mistaken, cootz got the new recipe from reading articles about brewing - brewers are obsessed w/ getting maximum enzyme yield from grain - their jobs depend on it to an extent - so i'm sure there is a...

add alfalfa or alfalfa meal - that should bring enough nitrogen to the table to kickstart the thermal composting process - assuming you have enough moisture and biomass in the equation. not sure if you can afford alfalfa meal but feed stores sell #50 bags for cheap - usually around $15-20...

^ yup, that. also, check out Fungi Perfecti for mycorrhizae (www.fungi.com) - its Paul Stamets' company..and he definitely knows his fungi! Good prices too - especially for the spore count. BioAg VAM is also a very solid choice
