What, no kitchen sink??
Awesome. Thanks. Not that carcass though, too small. I tossed him back. Funny - you know how plants are always girls? I always think every fish is a boy. They're always he or him. Lol.What, no kitchen sink??
After you're done with that tilapia carcass, throw the bones, head, guts, etc. in a glass jar with an equal amount of brown sugar by weight or volume and a smidge of worm castings, mixing it up as best you can. Cover it loosely and set it aside for a few months. You'll have the best fertilizer you can get your hands on. That's called FAA, or Fish Amino Acid, and you dilute it 1:750 so a little goes a long way.
Super good source of nitrogen.
Well, next time then. And you can make it in a very small batch as an experiment. You could use a small Mason jar and just stick it in a cupboard. Just be sure not to screw the lid on too tight as the gasses need to be able to burp free. But the smell is not unpleasant, not like rotting fish or anything, but more like a fancy Japanese fish sauce smell (since that's essentially what you're making.
)
Thanks BK, and I've been accused of worse. Heh. Yeah I'm moving back to PA. Was going to be end of April but now am delayed until mid July. Thus: one more tent grow.
No going back now! You going to start a new thread or just continue on with this one?
Heh. No going back, it's a done deal. I'll start a new journal. The perpetual journals, not like @Emilya's current new one, but the endless ones, get to be too much for me - the idea of one makes me tired. Lol. I don't know how Shed has so effectively maintained a 1400+ page journal, it's astounding, and more power to him. But also, I kinda feel like if one wants to enter, or be nominated for rather, GJOM, they should be nominated based on a stand alone journal, or one dedicated to certain plants start to finish in a perpetual one. Just me, to each their own. I completely understand that licensing issues in part spurn the type of continuous growing that lends itself to perpetual journals. But yes, and I'll even maybe be able to figure out how to include a cool link that says "here" to put in this one as I've seen others do and really like. Makes it much easier for anyone who wants to follow.
Why thank you kind sir!Sounds great.
And the link thing is easy. When your new journal is up and running, just click on the 3 connected dots in the green banner at the top of that first new journal entry. Double tap the url (the web address) and that will give you an option to copy it to the clipboard. Click "copy." ("control" and "c" will also copy it it the clipboard if the double click thing doesn't work for you for some reason in this first step).
Then, you come back to this one and, in a new post, click on the "chain link" in the grey banner at the top of the box you're typing in. That will bring up a box with two entries. One to copy the url into and the second to name it whatever you want. To paste the url, single click the url box entry to place your cursor there and then do a long click and the word "paste" will come up, or "control" and "v" at the same time and that will automatically stick it in there for you.
And presto change-o you're swimming in clover.
E, you know you don't need to apologize for brutal honesty in this journal, especially as it's non-targeted. I hear you loud and clear on why you're here. That stuff is gravy, not the goal. The goal, as you say, is to learn and teach how to grow. In my case learn. Lol.
WoohooWell @Bill284, Ethos just screwed up my whole plan, but crystallized it at the same time.
I thought I was only getting one of the Fruity Pebble Cookies. They sent me three seeds of it. Freebies. Plus the two free Jack Herer autos. Heh. Fruity Pebbles OG x Mandarin Cookies. That couldn't possibly be bad and I was going to include one of them anyway. Instead, we're going to pop all three of these and do a dedicated Fruity Pebbles Cookies grow for the new, and last, journal before I move. I can't resist it. It's a pre-release. I'll be one of the first to grow this. And so I'll be a guinea pig. It's so new that other than the genetics even Ethos won't say anything about it. But I am quite familiar with both parents, and their lineage can be traced. I can't find a genetic downside to this cross, lol.
It's taking a small chance, but what the hell. That's what's fun about it.
We'll see how they do in 7s of coco with PB nutes.
I will not change this plan. When they hit the dirt I'll start the new journal with them, and the mystery plant. I'm prepping pots now that I know. And soaking the seeds.
fresh beans. 
Pre-release! I love it! Fruity Pebble Cookies. I mean, it's a no brainer. And a dedicated grow at that! And Shed may like that his Mandarin is still in the mix as a contributing parent. I'm excited about it.Woohoo
Stay safe
Bill
One page at a time.
Nothing to maintain about it! I don't post every day or carry on many non-growing conversations, which why I only update when there's something worth updating. I never thought about winning an OTM for that journal, but I guess there's something about the quality of the info there that made folks nominate and vote for it twice. Luckily they've changed the rules so a third is out of the question. That's a win!
Oh I didn't know that. You can only win GJOM two times? How about the others?One page at a time.
That's a win!
