They're not being over fed?

Nah i think they could do with more the leaves are lightening up but the rains been stopping me feeding them

I hope not,if his are mine should be dead lol I’ve been pushing the food into them the last couple of weeks. I top dress weekly with either kelp,organic extra,soft rock phosphate,gypsum,organic kickalong,seamungus or a mixture of them as well as foliar fish hydrolysate,kelp and fulvic then I’ve given them 1000L of liquid food in the past fortnight and the soil had plenty of nutrients in it. I like to feed them up once they are established especially doing organics if you let them get a bit hungry it takes a while to get the food back into them.

haha bokashi sounds too mutch like bukaki

See if you can get hold of Searls organic kickalong in the green 2kg bag it’s pretty good as a fast acting top dress think it costs me about $11for a bag and does all 15 plants

Ill look into that for sure and ive seen what you mean about the nutrients taking a while it took about a week to notice the leaves getting darker after a feed

Ended up with just over 3 Oz from the Dark Star as well as the 1200 or so seeds,not bad considering it got fed twice with some kelp and about half the water it should have got.

That’s just the way organics work,the plant doesn’t absorb chicken shit,kelp or any other organic fertiliser microbes have to go to work on it for it to become available for uptake where salt ferts the plant can directly uptake so you can see them work overnight but they don’t stay in the substrate for long

so like where did u get ur soil mix i wanna do bokashi but for me its so simple its hard instead evey one of the vids iv watched thay say bury it can i put it in my worm bin instead

I bought brunning soil as a base. Added perlite, coco, vermiculite. And then chucked in a whole bunch of amendments. Then let it cook for a month minimum.

The perlite was the only one of the above list additives besides the amendments I'd bother with again. As it adds air pockets to the soil.

Only you would come up with that gigz

Hmmm. Might see if I can boost their feed this time too. See if that makes a positive difference to the outcome.

It probably is if not the most but top 3 most important things I add to a soil mix,yeah it will rise up in the pots a bit and the dust will probably kill me eventually but till there’s something else readily available you can’t go past it for aeration.

I almost dropped two beans into the NugBox tonight. Was looking at my collection. I've got a few doubles I want to try. But no idea what the fuck they are.

If only I could pick up a seed and ask it "what ya gonna be when you grow up?

It does depend on what’s in your soil I didn’t over do it with fertiliser in my mix but I went heavy on the minerals like oyster shell flour,gypsum,soft rock phosphate etc because they are harder to add later and take longer to become available where as most nutrients you can either spray or water in for a quick fix if needed

That’s the magic of them,all a plant can ever be is right there in that little seed no matter how good we are or think we are at growing if there’s no magic in that seed there’s never going to be in the plant

Think i might try a stronger feed from now on till i see the leaves get nice and dark

 

[Nugachino]

Anyone else want to try a vert? These Moretti fans have a strong column of air. And can tilt to full horizontal. And even their lowest setting seems to have some oomph to it.

I added gypsum a couple months back to the soil mix thats cooking. Also chucked in water crystals. Just because.

Yeah mine are only getting seasol, powerfeed and gogo juice with some rooster booster pellets on top but i dont think theyre doing much

Everyone thinks there plants aren' doing much come start of December but if u planted ehen u should do outdoors dec is normally the month they beast out and double in size in a short period.
