Good weed sir Rico.

Ive been in the archives researching soil this evening. Im looking for a 'beginers soil blend'. Something that will be beneficial with micro life as well as macro life. :) Ive been reading JJ's threads and others about benefits of mycor and organic micro life. Ive also Blogged your soil recipe so I can quick reference it.
I read something HERE about fertilizers and Chemicals killing the micro life So Im wanting to go a more natural way. But it seems many supplements are needed if you dont have a super complex super soil. :hmmmm:
How many supplements and additives do you have in your grow total?

I tried to read that thread the other evening again for the xth time.

It is rather long winded, but informative if you can focus for long enough.

I don't think it has to be so complicated. People used to just bury a dead fish and plant a seed :)

Think about what a plant would have available to it in soil and try to come at it from that angle.

Stones and sticks, organic matter containing dead leaves, plants and animals, droppings, etc.

Worms, Snails, insects, fungi and bacteria break this stuff down into it's molecular pieces

and the plant takes this in with water.

Chemical nutes try to supply the plant with what it needs when it needs it,

Organics is about supplying and feeding the microbiology,

so they feed the plants, in a symbiotic relationship.

It's all about love, at the end of the day :circle-of-love:


Or is it :eyebrowsmile:


There is a point in nature where ammonia, the by-product of decay,

is transformed into nitrate by Nitrosomas

and the nitrites are transformed into nitrates by Nitrobacter.

This is plant-food and signals the beginning of life after death in a constant cycle of rebirth.

In order for your plant to live, death must occur, thus balancing the universe.


:amen:


When aerobic bacteria eat, burp and thrive, the soil smells good.

Gardeners and farmers have always known this.

It smells good to us because it's healthy.


I went to the local Gardening shop and bought;

Bonemeal,

Sulfate of potash (50% K),

epsom salts,

The Seaweed mix,

a weird wool fertilizer "ewenique 3"

perlite, vermiculite.

I used potting soil from the supermarket to mix with and I added some MEDI ONE from Green Planet.


I watered in the greenhouse with "Rootbuilder", a compost tea from G.P., to add good bacteria, etc.

Since the move, I have only watered/fed them 2X with water containing the crap from the fish filter squeezed out.

I have ever perpetuating mollies, about 70 or so in a tank, so I have to clean the filter every week.

I think the plants are getting a lot of N through the fish-water,

so today I went all Tap water and potassium on their asses along with the Massive bloom booster, also GP.

It didn't come into my mind until I seen it on the sheeting sir..... No harm done thankfully though :)

No problem, Alex :) It's still good that you thought to warn me :thumb:
 
Wow Rico! Hell of a post my friend :thumb: I need to come back sober so something hopefully sticks. Have you seen what Doc Bud is doing with soils? There are also several other members trying it and getting amazing results. Similar to subcools except tested HP pro mix at a lab and created the perfect rock amendments for that soil. It seems to work best with landrace sativa dom strains. Pretty interesting stuff. He grew a c99 plant that had so many trichs on the leaves you couldn't see the green anymore. I will be trying it for my next outdoor grow for sure.

Thanks Rainstacks, I just read through it myself and you are right, there is a typo, so I will correct it now :)

It should read:

There is a point in nature where ammonia, the by-product of decay,

is transformed into nitrite by Nitrosomas

and the nitrites are transformed into nitrates by Nitrobacter.

Thank you for pointing that out to me, Rainstacks :circle-of-love:


I like reading Doc Buds posts and threads, but I can't get all the stuff they have.

I couldn't get azomite, here in spain and I don't want to order a kit.

The brix thing is interesting, though. It's a good indicator of plant health,

so I may get a refractometer and have a look-see :)

Hello Srila Ricorico
I thought the law on Ganja had been made a little easier but yesterday I read that a guy was caught with 56 plants he said it was for him and him alone and it was for his pain from an old accident, however the Magistrates decide that it was to much for them to take on so it has been taken to crown court.
Yet back in the mid 90,s a friend of mine was caught with well over 100 plants he went to court representing himself and walked out with a fine and a slap on the wrist for tapping into the electric meter( i think that most of the fine was for the electric). He was busted again this time purely bad luck this time I think about 100 again more than likely more he didn't even get a caution, I dont no if he done some talking but still he got off scot free the police apparently messed up by letting all the evidence rot away. so how come the guy he got busted just a little while ago seems to get the worse end of the stick

Hi Jaga :ciao:

The difference is, the guy with 56 plants probably had a lawyer :rolleyes3

Tapping into the electric meter is the real crime. Theft.

Don't put the dead fish directly in with the seed..........put the fish between the rows.......

Yes. That is true. Don't plant your seed on a fish. Much too hot :)
