this kinda looks like a bit gimmicky and i'll admit, I didn't read their whole page, but it looks like you're plugging a ac->dc inverter into your plants based on some interesting theories. I don't know enough about biochemistry and physical chemistry, and electrobiophysiology to really judge this thing for myself...would love to hear what some expert botanists and horticulturists think

be easy

That would be the keeper phenos off my Dream Beaver run. Guys if you can find a pack jump on it. She really makes dreams come true. One hit and your head is in the clouds, a whole joint and you will be bouncing off the walls with energy. Makes you dream and keeps you awake to work on those dreams :) I wish I could give you all a clone.

ndogg- been there, done that.

We can make this as complicated as we like and still grow good weed. I'm trying to simplify and reduce costs, while not sacrificing anything.


I'm all about being simplistic, or maybe it's just laziness. Either way I don't wanna make it any harder for myself. Since we are on the subject, did it work?

I also have two clones going, one grounded one that's not, first day had 1/2in more growth on the grounded one....time shall tell.

The pumped air made lots of fungus, which was fun. Made me really appreciate aeration, amendments like lava rock and pumice, and Geopots

You kep talking about it AFTER i just remixed and potted lol.
Oh well, next time i will be adding some lava etc for sure.
New mix is awesome, plants are super happy and budding like mad in the first half of the third week.
Thanks again for all the help fellas.

Btw, the product i grew was delivered to my new co op and evidently the supposed grower who was talking crap abput it was just jealous because the new co op wants to buy EVERYTHING we make. I also gave him some simpson oil to try so i guess things turned out much better than i thought.

Good for you SomeCA!!! People know quality.

My soil mixes look rocky, but roots like the air. See Murphy's pics of the hay bales. Aside from somewhat composting the hay, that system is very open air.

I like his videos. I've talked with him a few times. Very nice guy, just as you gather from his videos.

I will say- once I move and start larger scale "windrow" vermicomposting operations- no more Bokashi for me. Maybe over the winter, haven't decided. Bokashi is simply speed. The end result of composting is the same. We're just letting our pals, the various Lacto- bacterias, go anaerobic, which they prefer. They haul ass and decompose fast. In a bigger vermicasting operation, that's not necessary.

That's an excellent TED Talk video ndogg. Great reminder about the power of the leaf. I'm hoping for similar benefits from the small tree branches reduced to wood chips also.

It's a shame to throw away leaves- the most nutrient-dense part of a tree. Defo a good vid to watch.
