Thanks, bro! The Kk is so sticky, wow, you gotta see her.

What do you think of the new soil blend, tho, i was low on humus dirt and added extra everything else, accidentally, for the base. Pail was bit bigger than it said.
It's 15% Ewc and 10% OCM btw, your cow poop..if you didn't catch that.

Then I theorized my best options with what I could source.. Still haven't added the bio char or oats, half the DE, or eggshells. The Welcome.Harv. FBM was pretty high in calcium so..

Dear Journal,
the Original DP blend,
Rasta blend (blood and bone meal free)
and Vamp blends (w/ zeo)
have all been recycled,
and sifted to remove wood chips and larger debris,
and mixed to form a nice 2014 super blend we gonna the Stallion Blend ...
.
and thats going head to head in a no till sideXside..
its opponent:
the 1st mix of 2015, which we are gonna call the

-Ocean Farma Blend-
The (slightly tweaked, larger) 85L Base :
27% Coconut Coir (23Litres)
27% Perlite (23L)
**27% Poop Mix (23L=13L EWC + 10L OCManure)**
20% Humus Black Earth (16L)

+The ~1L Meal Mix:

Alfalfa Meal, 1 Cup
Neem Meal, 1 C
Kelp Meal, 1 C
**Fish Bone Meal, 3/4 C** (new)

+The 2L Rock Mix:
Greensand, 1Cup
Rock Phosphate, 1C
**Bio Char, 2C** (new)
**DE Rocks, 2C** (new)
Crushed Eggshells, 2C

+The 2L Fungi Food Mix:
Rice, 4 Cups or 1 per week
Oats, 2 Cups
Myco F, 2 Cups, post mellow

=90L OLSS (Organic Living Super Soil)

This Ocean Farma blend then has no zeolite, no steamed bone meal, no blood meal, (and no glacial rock dust yet), but does have the new amount (15%) local/diy ewc, plus bio char, de rocks, organic cattle manure and fish bone meal intro'd.. Should be a lil cleaner, cooler mix and even cooler end-burn too.

Ya mon,
Exciting experiment, can't wait to,try some finished product.
Fish bone meal is strong smelling though, gad damn.
There are no words to describe its potency other than run. Hahaha

Mix looks pretty good. Could use some rock dusts maybe. Humus content looks good.

Right on, Dude
Glacial rock dust something we have to order?
Only have rock phosphate, bio char, greensand, and eggshells ATM

Here's an ash test of the new mystery Gravy cross which hails her heavy head band of relaxing cyclops mask on to whoever inhales her smoke .. She'll ground you for a bit in the mental realm then you lift off into a productive clean energizing high.. Quite the two sided girl...
Mix seems to be getting cleaner slowly but surely..
And the cure is staged more slowly now too.image.jpg

Looks like the new Ocean Farma Blend is alive and ready.. Here's a nice shot of the new texture of mycelium that floured rice and oatmeal produces.. Much less dense but beautifully filled in and fluffy no less.. More consistent and less yellow too..image.jpg

Here's a little bed-shot with the lights off.. Evened the canopy out with some lst work and top dressed with some fluffy OLS ..Then added a Diy Led, inoculated with a basic BSM Ewc AACT & sparked some OKK upon completion. Feeling real good now!!

Sourced some glacial rock dust!!
Time for some mixing son...its 4am, got some chicken nuggets on deck and my newest artist, just discovered, Burro Banton bumping ..banger in the AM.

Still haven't found myco locally..Rona and Home Depot are sleeping on us, man, right? Like Kodiak during a hail storm.
Lol. If only there was a store that was actually good and actually had everything for good organic cats like us... Hmm

Nobody must of peeped the white ashes, clear & distinct indication of clean medicinals got tah love that!
Amen Coughphee
To cleaner and leaner mixes,
from Canada to Cali,
And beyond...
Go herbalists!

Here's a little peek of one the 88's after her tea time..
In the last couple weeks, She went from one of the more sensitive looking ones to one of the prettiest and perkiest..man is she cute
Something about an untopped, freestanding natural girl that's just so admirableimage.jpg
Exciting times as she starts to flourish.
This is just Day 15.5 of 12/12 and they had to root into their topdress while flowering already
So I'm very proud of them
They deserved the rest of the myco

How much rock dusts would you reccomemnd brothaDp @DonPetro and why.. I should add since I haven't yet. 1 cup? 2? Or 3? Doing 90litre batches again, which is exactly triple the revs recipes in his book tlo, although brotha mike doesn't use GRdust, we do!!
That said, thoughts on next batch? Looking to up the TRIA a bit, dusts, pho and calcium too..
Thinking 85 L base plus 6 L amendments plus 10L AACT for a hi end organic ~100L no till

Base:
22L Coir
23L dons poop mix (~15% EWC, 10% OCM, of total)
20L humus dirt black earth
20L perlite

Rocks:
3 cups glacial rock dust
1 cup rock phos
2 cups de rocks
3 cups semi-ground shells
1.5 cups greensand
2 cups bio char
(Thats 12.5 cups total or 3.6% of base volume)
Would 15 or 16 cups be better? Somehow..lol

Meals:
1.5 cups kelp meal
2.5 cups alfalfa meal (too much? rev would do 3 FYI)
1 cup neem meal
1 cup fish bone meal
2 cups crust or shell crab meal

Fungal food:
1 cup Organic oat groats (chitinase source too, big up @coughphee.connoiseur for dat)
3 cups rice hulls, whole
1 cup rice and oat flour, on top
1 cup myco fungi, granular, post mellow

Flowering:
Onetime (1x) TRIA aact tea (with alfalfa seed)
1x Diy Pho-cal app
1x coconut water app
1x aloe misting
All in 1st week
Then 7 weeks+, water water water!
Maybe one more basic aact tea with 4 weeks left or if she got dry

Microbes/bene's:
10 L BSM Ewc AACT
(Diy Lacto bact.)

Bed Mulch:
White clover

Our 2014 all inclusive Stallion blend is looking real good and alive in her wheeled bed btw!!

Beautiful girls, from clone? Cant lie i can't wait to get a bed i never thought of doing one indoors, props for adding the wheels.
The whole bed is from clone, brotha.. Gen 2 and 3 baby.
Doing a clone only run ATM although some organic sour diesel is on deck, from seed.. Can't wait!

Love the wheels too btw,
Great to spin the whole bed around every second day..with ease!! Don't even wanna know how much 45 gallons of moist supersoil weighs lol
I have to thank the Dons Gravy for giving me the idea of a breathing bed on wheels..
Don't forget it has spaced boards with smart pot fabric!!
The Borneal terpene activated my third eye, no lie ..
Saw it in the mind before i and i built it.. Lol
Y'all need some gravy I'm telling you!!! It's very visual

Well my brother glacial rock dust is only going to up the performance of your crazy bed on wheels. Oh the benefits...where to start...natural source of silica for those big strong stems and defence from the grips of summer heat not to mention calcium and magnesium and loads of trace elements. Plus it increases CEC and improves soil structure and drainage. But most appealing for me; it helps the living soil re-create colloids. Colloids = humus my friend. Perfect for a no-till bed on wheels. I would at least another 3 cups of GRD to that mix. Should be good. I see you got a thread started...hopefully some of the heavyweights weigh in.

Awesome, good thing I double checked!

And the 1st bed is 2ftx3ft wide by one foot deep, so bout 6 cubic feet or ~170 litres/44 US gallons. It's sweet homeboy.
Shallow and wide like clones like, since they na produce tap roots like they do from seed. My thoughts anyway.

The second bed is not built yet.
