Sauga Grows With Virgin Ground

[Mr. Krip]

To further complicate things.

I came across this during my morning coffee/research time.
I sent them another email as well.

Sorry to further complicate things by not keeping up with this thread as well as I could have. Thank you to @Mr. Krip for taking the extra time and effort to stop by my thread with the info that he got by emailing the folks, so I would stop putting out bad information about Geoflora's compatibility with soilless systems.

Thanks, Em!

The info is actually from a post by @GeoFlora Nutrients in my journal regarding a conversation on the compatibility with coco. Here's the exact response:

Happy to clarify here Mr. Krip! You are spot on with your guess - Geoflora pairs well with soil and inert soil-less media like coco and peat, which actively benefit beneficial bacteria populations due to the high presence of lignins in these materials, which are readily degraded by aerobic bacteria and contribute to the humic content in the medium. These blends also provide good aeration (especially when combined with fabric pots), helping support aerobic bacteria populations. As you noted, we generally do not recommend utilizing Geoflora in a strictly reservoir based system - it is not fully water soluble, and this method does not allow enough time to fully breakdown those slower releasing nutrients.

The breakdown process is aided first by moisture, and second by the presence of bacteria in our blend which break down the nutrients into available forms. When using soilless blends with Geoflora, the best practice is to maintain a moist growing media to keep the bacteria happy and consistently breaking down that organic matter and solubilizing nutrients.

In practice, this really doesnt look much different from what you would do with any other soil-less or soil based grow system. So long as there is some moisture present, and a stable consistent source of organic material (like that provided by Geoflora) our bacteria are constantly working to break those nutrients down.

Hopefully this helps clarify some of the confusion!

Thanks for helping to clear this up for me.
I'd love to use it and it's looking like I actually can without issue.

Thanks, Em!

Thanks again Krip.
Missed that skimming through your journal. Thought I saw all pertinent information.

Do we know the sex, yet, or are we planning a gender reveal party once you put it in flower?

 

[MrSauga]

or are we planning a gender reveal party once you put it in flower?

Due to our forest city floors being dirty and not swept lately we cannot allow any gender reveal pyrotechnics during this time. We thank you for your understanding on this matter.

 

[MrSauga]

Oof!

 

[BooWho2]

Congrats on the new baby VG!!

I'm in! Fun journal so far and learning about the @GeoFlora Nutrients is always a good thing. I botched a few plants this year to malnutrition which led to pests having a field day. I need to get better at feeding.

I have a mark on my tweezers which assists in determining how far down to plant the seed.

Currently going through the wife's drawers looking for an extra pair of tweezers! Thanks for the tip!

LOL! Don't get caught. It cost me dinner and a movie, a lot more than me going out and buying them!
Welcome to our journal Bar!

 

[Virgin Ground]

Nice job fixing her up! She looks great.

She's still being difficult. She was only half buried this morning.
My babies seem all confused lately.
Are they trying to escape!?! WTH!?!

Happy kalashday! Woot!

It was!!

Baby pahty!

Just gotta keep her alive now.

I'm always down for a party! Gut feeling says there will be a lot of pink involved.

Sounds like the reasoning of a very stable genius.

Oof!

What's with the Oof? It's out of context for me.

Congrats on the new baby VG!!

Thanks hun.
Hope I can get her to stand upright. Stubborn sprout!

Currently going through the wife's drawers looking for an extra pair of tweezers!

No such thing as an extra pair of tweezers. Ask the wife about it.
Damn things get up and walk off all by themselves or so I've been led to believe.

Welcome Bar.

Welcome to our journal Bar!

Says a man who discovered that what I said above is true...

LOLOL! No they are not trying to escape. Maybe just a depth thing on initial planting. Want me to start over?

 

[MrSauga]

Hey everybody!
Just a little pic update on day 2.

Beautiful babies MrS! So glad to be here to watch this grow from the start. Especially since it’s a few veteran growers collaborating. Very cool!

I think he's calling you old, VG!

No, I'll be fine.
I know the only reason that I'm here is so that you look even better by comparison.

Looking like the picture of health.

We are glad you are here Roosti.
This is only my second year of growing. Not quite in the veteran camp yet.

I think he's calling you old, VG!

You were included in there too Saugs.
You and your fancy photos are gonna make me look bad.
Well, get ready for my jaw dropping technical abilities....

Take that!

 

[BakedARea]

I think after that incredible technical showcase, @MrSauga should just bow out of this grow and walk away in shame.

I just know he's gonna be super impressed!
