Man all this talk about worm farms and active soils has me scratching my head again. I've got only 17 acres to put something like this up and would love getting a little time between feedings. I also have some of the best nitrogen resources in town. Horses. Just need to figure out how to put it as together.
Only 17 acres? Not sure you have the room
. I found a video on vermicomposting where one of the main ingredients was house manure, so you're off to a good start!
The best tea i made so far was with a fermented stinging nettle juice I made.
Stinging nettles is what my wife calls any nouvelle salad...anything that isn't lettuce basically!
Hey shed. Things are looking stellar indeed. Happy for you bro. Wife should be very happy with & greatful for your hard work & dedication. Hope to grow again, & i hope u, joe , penny furcifer, pt , derby, dabber, & gosh.....i sounded like Forest Gump . haha. Miss u everyone. Later!!
Congrats on finding a new house Moon! That must be quite a relief
. You are welcome here growing or not, and you know that.
I use a couple things in my tea...Any left over tea goes on the household plants.
Thanks Van! Now if we just get you to find your info on making Stank Soil without having to wait for the blogs to come back

Saturday it is, so you know what that means dontcha? Pictures and transplants
.
Let's start with a aerial view of Sour G, whose leaves are looking a bit discolored. I'm going to wait for the soil to dry out a bit and the transplant to take before I worry any further about it. It's not a quadline btw (I think it has 10 arms...decalined?), but it's being trained and defoled in a similar manner:
Next it was time to transplant the Gold Leaf, but I didn't have any intermediate size pot so I put it into a 7 gallon. When it outgrows this it will either have to get a small transplant to a 10 gallon felt pot or a bigger plastic one.
On to the AK, flip day 7. I thinned it a bit, mostly the undercarriage to make sure nothing new was trying to grow in there, and I pulled down some of the front/back stems (orange tape sides) to make room for more supercropping. Since most of the light is provided by the sun now I don't have to worry about the evenness of the canopy in relation to a fixed light source, so having those branches lower won't effect the buds.
Here is before and after from above:
Before and after from the side:
And here is my crowded table!
Auto Masszar is leaning toward the sun so I keep turning it around. I gave it some distilled water in a ring outside the peat.
May your Saturday get better and better and your Sunday resurrect you, your families, and your plants!
I’ve been doing similar as a top dress and I’m thinking more about doing teas as well/instead.
