Chemdog #4 is probably one of the most vigorous plants I've ever grown, I top and it stacks within days, Burmese kush is pretty hearty as well despite the nutrient lockout its recovered beautifully. What did I learn? I've learned to listen better as @ganga gurl420 told me to get a bucket and age my manure befire I use it, even though it says fully composted that means nothing and it costs me some growth not listening and just doing my thing, but lesson learned. I'm now expanding all my lacto and culturing more, have constructed my own bokashi bucket system put in a spout at the bottom used 2 buckets first one with drainage inside a second bucket silicone fine mesh over the drainage holes and composting all my household organic waste through that and feeding my worms the leftovers. To say I'm loving this is a huge understatement

Also started foliar spraying my tomatoes with lacto a week ago and have noticed massive changes, they are really vibrant and are throwing flowers left right and centre. Put 25 ml of lacto in 9 litre buckets and some potassium of potash as well to help the girls along.20181203_181747.jpg 20181203_181722.jpg 20181203_181717.jpg 20181203_181711.jpg 20181203_181703.jpg 20181203_181637.jpg
 
Latest pics guys and gals, continuing on with pure organics. Worm activity is phenomenal I can put my finger in anywhere in any pot have a scratch and I'll find worms and feisty buggers too, and I believe if my worms are healthy and happy the bacteria and nematodes are in the same happy place, continuing with regular EM1 innoculations and silica both foliar and in feeding. Using seaweed as a all rounder along with guano and wormjuice and castings, fish emulsion which is fueling my food web, I am using zero pesticides zero oils zero soap as a preventative due to the belief that if I have a healthy living soil my plant will have a healthy immune response to disease and pests through its immune system and tough leaves and stems. I believe now that in the past I was growing my plants in dirt not soil and it was just a medium to hold my roots not feed my plant and only there to help deliver the nitrate based nutrients to the roots,now my plants are doing what nature intended which is through photosynthesis the roots release sugars the microbes digest those the worms digest the microbes the waste becomes immediately available nutrients to be uptaken bu the roots and feed the plant, and the cycle repeats as long as my soil is healthy. This so far is a gamechanger fir me and I'll say my plants are more vibrant stronger and more resilient than I've seen before in any of my grows and I've been doing this for awhile now. 20181208_101157.jpg 20181208_101152.jpg 20181208_101143.jpg 20181208_101138.jpg 20181208_101131.jpg 20181208_101124.jpg

Thanks man I appreciate that, I'm really having a good time this season, I've been talking about this for years but never had the brass to actually do it, so glad I did it's like learning to grow all over again.

the good vibes must be going to the plants lol. i'd say you've got the hang of it no lookin back now
 
Brewing up some microbes and fungi added molasses and kelp meal using 2 400L per hour pumps and heated to 28c for 6 hours, this is where it all happens underneath the top layers of soil, also doing some bokashi experiments with fermentation which is pretty cool and less smelly than I expected. My soil structure and quality has gone up I'd like to say 100 percent but it's better than that. I water and it's like a big mouth volcano opens to drink it all and closes when I'm done its pretty cool to see, it's just light fluffy breaks apart and you can still mold it but falls apart easily with a light touch. So many baby worms I cant count them. I'd have to say it's the best soil I've ever used without being biased, but I'm sure mine is piss poor in comparison to the soil being built by experienced organic gardeners, but it's fun getting there.20181210_102810.jpg 20181210_102753.jpg 20181210_102745.jpg 20181210_102730.jpg
 
I can see u have already improved on the last 3 seasons I've watched you grow
More side branching more lush bushes at the start means waaaaay more yields :)

Yeah thanks dude, I only would top once
And let it go, the ones 3 of em that have taken to topping are getting it hard lol, had a mate ask me if I had saved the other ones I sprayed he couldn't believe how big they got in just a few weeks lol. But even I gotta admit they are doing way better than previous seasons. Vigorous as all helll!!!
