In The Lab

[Doc Bud]

Good morning all.....hey doc, when you stated above to use an ounce of tea with the old soil when mixing prior to cooking. Was that amount in to a whole bale? Looks like I'm gonna needs some more tea.

That's only if there's no myko in the soil for some reason.....like it's old. You don't need it normally.

No problem on the distilled.

Hey Doc,

Is there a way I can contact you not in a forum post? I don't want to put 50 random posts around the website when I just made an account to contact you personally.

Thank you

I hope you stick around and post....it's really quite fun and you never know what you might learn or what someone else might learn from you.

I sent you a private message.

Thank you,

I'm sure I'll be lurking around for a long time to come. I just haven't started a garden yet and the amount of knowledge on here will have me reading for another 6 months before I feel I have enough information to ask a question that hasn't been answered already if that even happens. I sent you an email, thank for taking the time to send me that.

Hey doc what goes into cooking the 2nd round soil?
Theres no ammendment needed for that right?

Dagon, I highly recommend doing what I did: Start at the beginning of this thread and the Doc Bud Q&A thread, and every time you hit a nugget of information that seems important, copy and paste it into a Word doc (or whatever software you prefer, or blank pages in the back of The Necronomicon perhaps

It really helps, there's SO much great info in these threads that you'll never remember it otherwise...

 

[Major PITA]

...now you tell me. See you in about 3 months...

Great advice!

I cook it just like the first run, except I add some leaf material. I use amendment for the second run....but no re-charge. The third run is the "other" amendment.

Foliar spray less often in round two.

Hey guys got my soil done.....this will b easy on the calendar march 1....lol.

Hey doc if my soil is gonna b cooking for around 6-8 weeks till my current ones finish will it only b better? Do I have to turn it over or anything?

 

[Hash Hound]

I'd like to try this Doc, but it seems like alot of work for a single or 2 plant virgin grower like me.

On reflection that's kind of a dumb question, how would you know what my store carries? Lol

Would there be a more basic version of this?

If you don't feel comfortable starting with a kit for just 2 plants, read Doc's older threads from OC+Hempy to Minderlized Organics and Teas.
I'm sure you'll find something in there that would suit you.

When you see how good they turn out you will be back for a kit to take it to the next level of shocking your friends,

As long as it's sweating and keeping the lid all drippy and so forth, it will be just fine. If you want to include some trimmings and dust them with roots now and then, all the better. Just keep it moist...not wet.

 

[NematodeNate]

On the trimmings(I happened to have some from my mainling experiment).....should you cut them up....like really fine or just throw them in on top?

I just toss them on top, dust with Roots! put the lid on and walk away.

Will do.....when should we see sweating?

 

[Doc Bud]

Will do.....when should we see sweating?

a couple days after it's mixed and wetted. You should feel heat.

Cold concrete slabs are a real problem for cooking soil, even if the room is heated.

 

[NematodeNate]

I got in the bedroom closet.....house at 72....

Hey everyone!

I was curious if the Kit comes with a schedule or instructions, or if we must rely on this thread for all instructions on its use?

Thank you!

Thank you!

There's a link in my signature to instructions. Don't overcomplicate it. When in doubt (anytime you're in doubt) use Growth Energy.

I just put a plop of drench from a gallon jug in a bucket nowadays.
