First, a bit on brewing tea.
I'm using a product called, "Nature's Own." It's a commercial quality microbial tea that is balanced in both bacteria and fungi. Here's what I do:
1.)Put 1/4 cup of tea starter in 5 gallon bucket
2.)Add 1 gallon of water
3.)This is what foam should look like in a tea after about 20 hours. No smell at all. The microbes are going crazy and they want to get into the soil and start cracking rocks.
After 24 hours of brewing, I add 1/4 cup Yucca extract and 2 cups of Biominerals fertilizer. This product has all the High Brix minerals in the right proportions and a commercial organic fert that is also charged with beneficials. It gets mixed right into the now 2 gallons of tea.
These 2 gallons of tea will make 11 gallons of feed water with a bit left over for foliar spraying.
Here's how I'm using it on the Lemon Paki's. These clones were at death's door 2 weeks ago. Not a single good leaf on the bunch. I'm going to put them into bloom tomorrow. But, I soak each pot in the tea solution until it is 100% saturated, then I take them out and let them drain into the soil from the last grow, which I am going to start recycling. I'll add humus to it and that's about it. There should be plenty of minerals and bennie's in the soil....just got to keep the structure up.
Here's where the Lemon Paki's will end up. The lower half of the pot is 2 parts Vermisoil (unamended) and 1 part SuperSoil. (my recipe) You can see the rock powders on top. After taking the picture, I saturated the pot and made mud, got in there with my hands and mixed all the rock powders into the dirt. That soil is teeming with microbes now. When I transplant, I'll dust the root ball with a mycohrryzal inoculation. This makes up the lower half of the container. The upper half is just straight potting soil
Here's the babies:
Here's what I'm harvesting tomorrow.
If this grow is successful, I'm going to plug a gardening "kit" that can be bought very inexpensively that has everything I'm using.
......gonna blow the guys mind when all these Cali growers start ordering his kit....he's all about vegetables....not much of an herb farmer. But he assured me that his products would produce high quality MJ.
That's kinda what I'm growing here.
