What line of nutrients do you use? Or just bit of that brand, bit of this brand. How many grows do you get out of them. Coco/perl.

I use greenleaf nutrients - megacrop (bought 10kg about a year and a half ago and still got 9kg ish) as my base from start to finish.

during flower i boost it with mono potassium phosphate to boost the pk levels and get the nitrogen level down a bit

I also foliar feed nts’s cmb trio through veg until week 3ish of flower. I also have some nts k-rich to foliar in late (week 5-7) flower but i haven’t really used it much because it just feels a bit wrong but I will next run

I also normally use mycogold in my coco to promote healthy roots but I need to order some more.

keen to add a few other things to my lineup like some MAP (mono ammonia phosphate) to boost p in early/mid flower, some nts products (tri kelp, fulvic acid, Brix fix, and phos force) to fill some gaps and up my foliar game. There’s a few other nts lines I’d like to run but $$.

I also probably need to work on my IPM strategy but I’m a little lazy and just treat outbreaks as I get them.

Yea will give soil a good soak with added trace elements next few days wen soil dries out a bit until then cause im abit pov an never spent money on any good foliar sprays ill hit them with black strap mollasses as that has some good stuff in it for the time being..

Foliar feeding molasses is useless, molasses is for feeding the microbes in the dirt.

Oh yeah forgot to mention.

I was running h&g coco and perlite (30% perlite) as medium but I got broke and had to switch to the cheap Bunnings hydro coco/peat with perlite over the last cycle. I’ll probably stick with the Bunnings coco

Lol righto ill scrap that idea then.

Just read-back on a few pages of car talk & thought I'd throw-in my 2c's-worth before I roll-up for the evening.

'Used to love watching the Group C "Big Bangers" in the early-mid 80's before they put the kink in conrod straight at Bathurst. Laughing as the turbocharged Nissan Bluebirds had to pull out of the slipstream of the Commodores so they could get airflow to their turbo's just to cool them down & could never get past as a result.

Watching Dick Johnston's (XD?) crash coming off the mountain onto Conrod straight & completely demolishing the car in the trees & walked away from it. Rebuilt in a day??

Peter Brock's jaw-dropping drive (in a VL[?] when it changed to Group E) at Bathurst, in the wet, on slicks, when everyone else was pitting for wet tyres. He stayed out & held-on & ultimately couldn't be caught for the win. Four-wheel drifting through just about every corner. How he kept that thing on the road just amazed me. Classy!

Never had any inclination for a flashy/fast car (other than an Aston DB9 - my inner James Bond :roll: ), as you can't use them to their full potential on public roads without losing your licence.

Nowadays, I drive a 2004 Subaru Forester (bog-standard, non-turbo). Manual, of course! It's my everyday transport, I use it for towing trailers, collecting firewood etc...etc..... & I can still often leave motorcyclists for dead up the twisty/windy mountain road to my place. It just goes where you point it.

Other than that, no interest in cars whatsoever.

NOW, I'm going to roll-up:D

you drive a forester, you just went up 10 points in my book. Put an sf gearbox in it, 2 inch lift kit and you’ve got the ultimate beach weapon

Curious, how much did it cost you to get that 10kg to your door?

I'm def going to pick up some of that nts cmb trio to foliar this next run.
That stuff looks the goods.

Also going to run the Bunnings coco, might actually come gnat egg free! :D

I think it was $200ish. Definitely under $250. I got it in the early days before there was an Australian distributor (customs actually gave me bit of grief over it). Conversion rate would be the killer now.

pops garden stock it but now which helps.

On that subject, Yep! Totally agree.

'Can't be arsed cutting & pasting, so I'm 'Gonna ramble a bit here in response to Jimy's query.

A Bokashi bin (No! NOT Bukkake ;) ) is the way to go. Feed the run-off juice with diluted molasses & allow it to ferment in a large fermenting vessel.
If I were (as a brewer) to give you a recipe, I'd say "It depends....". Guess? Half a litre will adequately do 30-40L of dilute molasses. Choose your own dilution ratio).

What you're doing here is increasing the microbial activity. Specifically, you're feeding/fermenting Lactobacillus bacteria. If anyone remembers an old post from Ozcocoloco (or paid attention & made notes.....;)), he was adding malted barley to his mix. Reason being, malted barley is absolutely fucking RIFE with Lacto. bacteria.......beneficial to soil, microbes, & helps the plants metabolise the nutrients in the soil.

Add your own Seasol/worm-juice & you effectively have your own Go-Go juice..

Sorry, I like brewing my own stuff, rather than buying a bottle.

ive never looked one up before, they are pretty cool.

How Does the Bokashi One Bucket and Mix Composting System Work?

Within the Bokashi Bucket, the Bokashi One mix accelerates the composting process while producing a nutrient rich liquid which can be used around the garden
