Damn, hope you're ok! Sorry to hear this round had to get cut short, but another learning experience is just that, and makes you better in the long run. So hopefully you can pour all you've learned these past couple rounds into the next one and reap the benefits of a finished crop! Those petioles look nice and frosty even underneath, so that's a good sign!I’m sorry 2 say I got sick for a week man everyone thinks it’s weed n while I was in hospital ,y tent got turned off so I’m gunna have 2buy some more beans for end of August I cut early took some pics 2day I’m pretty gutted tbh but next round will be 1000 times better iv learned a hell of a lot this grow View attachment 4176335smells kinda llemony now it’s a bit dryer I will say smell is starting to increase exponentially

Thats a good question..With all this fire around, I was wondering if you'd given any thought to "wild" biochar...
The Carr fire isn't out yet, but my area has a lot of burnt material from 2015 fires.
A lot of it is charred outer wood with a rotten core, giving biochar and rotten wood chunks in the same package.
Well, the thing about that is, it's a halfway point between rotten wood chunks and biochar... The pieces I've found transition fairly smoothly from one to the other. Remains from three years prior, with two wet winters, I feel like alkalinity issues shouldn't be severe... (I'm not anti-test per se, but just a cheapskate)You want all black and no grey.. and you want to see pores. Lots of tiny pores. and for it to snap, and for a nearly metal-clinking sound when banging two pieces together.
As long its not a N hog, it should crumble into little pieces if the rotting part is ready. I still like to keep my rotting wood and biochar seperate, they do serve different functions, and so measuring each independently would be helpful, however, I love using nature.. so what I would do, is a test pot with it..Well, the thing about that is, it's a halfway point between rotten wood chunks and biochar...

Seems like it should act like a BIM inoculant?
I'm accumulating the ingredients for a single ~12gal bin for an overwinter personal plant, I'll give it a shot and report back.a test pot
