Resurrecting this because I want to try this!
Currently going through page 4 so I'll have more questions later if any. For now,
1) just manure? Can I or should I add perlite? Anything else?
2) will this be only manure for the whole grow? Or should I supplement with npk veg/bloom nutes? Cow dung compost tea a good idea every week?
Thanks!

I
I do brew teas but mostly to feed the soil not the plant so much.
Amend mine with espoma garden tone and happy frog bulb food. I do not add any perlite or any other "fluffer".

Thanks! sounds like something I can do. I can get my hands on a lot of cow dung. I'm planning to add some Neem cake as well.
Also, daYUM! those are some killer trees you're growing there woman! How often do you have to water with manure?
I prefer the soil feeding too. I liked this idea specifically because it seems simple and natural.

Manure holds water much better then I knew before. So you have to water way less which makes it awesome for a guerilla grow. I usually water mine twice a week or so depending on rain. We do get a lot of rain here so I dont havr to worry about it as much.
Last season I grew some gorilla glue...and one must have hermied and pollinated my cluster bomb because I found a single plant growing in my box a few months ago. I just let it do its thing without watering or feeding and it is still going strong.
And these were the pics from last yrs gros

That first tree looks at least 15'!
Inspirational!
I tried my hand at Coco coir indoors but failed miserably. Didn't even pass the seedling stage. Lol.
The other two plants sitting in soil and cow manure compost did really well. I didn't even feed any nutes during veg. Just plain water. All attempts have been indoor only so far.
Hence, I liked your approach since I'm planning an outdoor grow for a single season harvest instead of small multiple indoor harvests. Wouldn't mind watering twice a week. Once would be a dream!
What's your feeding schedule for flowering?
I'm planning a small guerilla grow of about 5 plants. My main concern is fodder during flower.
I intend to plant them by the end of this month once the monsoon is gone. Till then just brew some tea and gather material for the grow.
Appreciate the response! Thanks!

As far as feeding... I top dress with the espoma once a month until flower...then k top dress with the bulb food.
You want to give it silica since it's not dirt. And I would recommend mixing some azomite in there as well for extra minerals.
I did give them a mixture of molasses and Epsom salt every two weeks.

Thanks mate!
Will give this a read. No point wasting the Coco I have already I guess.

Might I suggest as well dusting your rootball with mykos before transplant... it makes a hell of a difference.
Just make sure the manure you use is aged and you will be blown away!

Mykos is a little hard to get a hold of where I'm at...I might have to check for an alternative.
The manure is aged around 1.5 years old. I'm getting it from a local dairy farm owner. He's been adding layers on it and I've been watching that pile grow for the past year or so. That good enough?

This is from another forum where the guy had grown using only compost. And some minerals. Not sure if I'm allowed to post from another website but it's Intriguing.

That is good. Just remember if it reeks of cow manure dont use it, it will not be composted enough yet and can be too hot.
As far as mykos go...there are other brands. I dont know if they are as good or not tho. This is also one of the reasons I love the ferts I use, already loaded with beneficial mykos ans bacteria. To me tho you can never have enough.
