The Soulmate are the larger ones (and the one "middle" looking struggler) the three smaller ones are black lime reserve X dank SinatraIMG_20161024_171813_01.jpg

All this talk of ffj left me feeling left out.. I just went out to the garden patch and grabbed some cucumbers, cut them up and threw them into my ffj container with some lacto b and previous alfalfa and cannabis ferments to get things started off right...

Are you recycling your soil? If so, how many rounds have you used it for? I've noticed what I believe to be deficiencies pop in the first round or two from a batch of soil, but those seem to disappear as the soil ages. I'm guessing that some nutrients/minerals take longer to become bio avaialable so the plant will be lacking to a degree with newer soil.

If the ffj helps with that then that's a good deal! :peace:

These last two runs r fresh runs and so will the next one, but im moving away fron guano for that reason, not ideal concentration for microbes and longer breakdown time. But after i make.this new soil with oyster shell to help with.the.mag ill be reusing.

Man, I found a bunch of uncomposted wood chips in my first batch and I ended up having to screen it! It seems to be better than ever now!!! It was showing N def pretty bad, even with a rabbit manure top dress, it helped but I think that the damage was already done. I am considering screening all of my compost from now on!

I've got quite a few cubic feet of used soil that's been composting with some alfalfa, worms, and tons of kitchen scraps for months I needed to screen a dang week ago...:roll::sleep:

Organic is so forgiving. I agree soil gets better over time, I don't believe so much in nutrients imbalance, has more to do with poor soil life. Wanna grow happy plants ? Better see lots of critters when u peek under the mulch, yes I'm talking indoor. Best thing you can do when in doubt is nothing. If you want to be successful with organics the bigger the pot the better.

I toss all of my fruit scraps in to my worm bin and let them do the work. Unfortunately I don't have the time it would take to be making various concoctions. I've made/used FPE's, lacto bacillus serum, bokashi, sprouted seed teas, coconut water, aloe, etc, etc. I haven't noticed a bit of difference in the end product when compared to just using a solid organic soil with quality compost/castings. The only difference I noticed was how much less time I had to spend on other things in life.

I agree w u bro. Ive cut back on alot of these extras youve mentioned. I hardly ever give even aact anymore.

Dr. Ingram said something that made sense to me.... she said aact is only beneficial as a root drench if there is an inadequate amount or poor quality compost in the soil, or as a foliar.

But since having cut back on all these extras, i havent noticed a bit of difference. All i water with in flower is molasses, himic acid, potassium silicate, and guano tea in the second half of flowering.

I have noticed no difference in quality or yield. But i have noticed that i have alot more free time. $0.02

Anyone notice any difference in product when using seabird guano as opposed to bat guano. The seabird is just abit higher concentrate of P. But my stoned as ran out of my standard bat guano without gettin mobongsmilie using as a soil amendment andor foliar

Ive just only used it one time, and didnt notice any difference but wanted to see if ppl got some good experience

Ive seen so many critters with growing organic. So many of them are really hard to identify. Its always a bit scarry when u notice a new critter, but if they arent effecting my plants i just leave them.

Theres prolly 10 dif species of bugs in my dirt that ive seen. Fungus gnats are there too, but they havent hurt anything. Their population has dwindled quite low since the tiny red spider lookin critters arrived. Those lil dude are gnar! And fast as hell! Id hate to live in their world lol!

I use a seabird and bat mix, but only cuz Soma told me to lol and i LOVE the flavor the guano brings. I havent compared the bat vs. seabird, i just know that there is a noticeable dif in flavor when i dnt use any.

In my setup there are really only 2 pests that I have to battle with constantly (I run perpetual...) and it's spidermites and thrips. Last time i freaked out over a bug was when I imported spit bugs in the grow room by accident, i was like fuck? Now what!! but they didn't stand a chance in a dry indoor environment.

As a DWC'er, it has nothing to do w/ my Bodhi seeds or plants.

That said, is this your first post in this thread? I can't recall seeing any contributions from you in here. I think that's relevant. See, the cats that are in this soil discussion at the moment, have each contributed a huge amount of posts in this thread, and in fact, are among the most knowledgeable pertaining to growing AND Bodhi. If they want to stray a bit to a common topic among themselves, how does that hurt you exactly?

Got anything besides gripes that you'd like to contribute to the Bodhi thread?
