Yeah, man, np.

I would start the labs first, its just so easy, and usable in others.. then while that is fermenting, you can look into another of your choosing.

sounds good.i'll do that.i had a little time and read up to page 4. had my questions answered and appreciate your advice.i'm really interested in this.im on my first indoor grow and not feeling good about the bottled nute program im using.i went completely to the dark side.my first season using coots mix was 2016(outdoors) did great.i did hardly any amending to that soil in '17 and my plants suffered.getting my amendments right for the second run is my biggest concern indoor and out.

YeaYeah I have been doing a bit of reading, avoiding the usual cannabis sites and rather looking for agricultural production information.

We settled on another coco run. outdoors I prefer soil any day, the taste is the best.
The big boys must laugh at us, they spend $200 per acre on ferts.

They buy stuff by the truckload (quantity discount).

How much malted barley would you top dress onto a 36" plant going into week 4 of flower before a tea? Should I brew the barley or just top dress and water in with ewc tea?

Just a thin layer. Top dressing malted barley is more efficient than an sst. During flower a corn sst would be better than barley. I don't do ewc teas unless the soil dries out.. Personally I'd top dress castings on top of malted barley. But if you are trying to stretch castings then go with the tea.

Make sure you puree the malted barley.

Will do, thanks for the advice. I top dressed and watered with some labs afterwards, the plants are very happy right now. Frostiest I've ever seen them going into week 5.

Is it OK to put organic tofu in my worm bin?
It expired Nov 23 and I need to get rid of it.
I've also got some expired cottage cheese but it's probably got too much sodium.

I do topdress bokashi and castings every 2 weeks.

Compost tea's, I only use them if the soil has dried out.. I use mainly corn seed for sst in veg and flower. I can get organic corn seed locally cheap. But barley I'd have to order. I prefer buying locally.

With the flower power ferment. I don't need anything else. I don't even need to reamend soil with dry amenments. My homemade castings are enough.
