Hey Doc looking good in there man! Drip emitters, is that new to the garden? I thought you fed from the bottom.
Any way thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Thanks to you and a few others on here I have had my best grow yet and its only half way finished.just adding the rock powders in a cooked soil has really impressed me a lot. Here in the next couple months I should be in a better position to order one of your kits. Here is what I'm getting from half arsed following your ways and a sub par environment.not bad huh?
Not bad? Shiiit, I'd say it looks amazing! Nice job.
MIneralizing the soil is a huge step in the right direction, no doubt about it. You'll be even more impressed once you get some of the gear I'm using....promise.
The drop emitters are indeed new. I have to manage my time in the garden, and I've found that if I use an automatic pump and drop system to water I can be doing other things while the plants get their water/fertigation. It saves time and the slow drippers really give the soil a good soaking. It also means I can go on vacation and not worry about the plants drying out.
For HerbFarma:
The high brix weed is healthy. You can tell when you smoke it. It is so smooth. It just feels like it's good for you. People haven't been exposed to it yet, but everyone who tries it wants nothing to do with normal weed. No bull.
But I'm just getting started. Subsequent runs with recycled soil will be an improvement, and I'm going to experiment with a soil energy booster that is formulated for seed bearing crops and see how that works out. I also added some K-mag to the tray that's furthest along. It hasn't improved anything....actually made it a bit worse.
I suppose these AG lab guys actually know exactly what they're doing! So I won't be adding any K-mag in the future, but I will try a couple different energy products, just to satisfy my curious nature.
Another observation:
The defoliated plants are about 20% lower in brix than their identical twins. No more defoliation for me. How can you foliar feed when you've got no foliage?
