I've asked this question of people before and they shrug it off. How much kelp is too much?

Was Mother's Hashplant made with Mother's Milk #31 and the upcoming remix with #5? I thought the 31 was a big OG style plant and the 5 had the candy hearts terps. Or maybe both do. Haven't popped the mom's hashplant yet.

I normally just throw my used soil in my raised bed outside. Tomatoes and veggies seem to love it. If you don't mind telling, what's your process? What do you put in it?

ROLS, I grow perpetually LST in Sterilite 1.5 gallon plastic trash baskets. Stored mix is in Sterilite bins. I sift used mix to use for seedlings with added EWC. Some goes out for ornamental containers after some amendments added. Lots of small trained plants with lots of light on lots of buds.
I am reusing my soil.
most important is to add humus like EWC or Compost with the dry fertilizers each time you re use from previous grow.
For amendments I use different ones for veg and bloom. Here is a list of some I use:
Neem seed meal
Oyster shell
Langebenite
Insect Frass
Fish bone meal
Crustean meal
Good mixes I use are
Dr earth Life
Coast of maine Organic plant food
Those mixes have a lot of the above and additional amenents.

I am so tired of the guesswork that I’m going the testing route before I put everything together. let me back up thats not entirely true. I’m testing the base mix before amending then having the amendments professionally designed to go with base mix ( 1/3 pumice, 1/9 EWC, 2/9 Bu‘s Blend, 1/9 coco, 2/9 peat).
You're welcome, from an Oklahoma native myself. HP4 was Kushy and gassy, another great one was Clusterfunk, but these are Chem crosses. Will be pulling down Secret Chief, Hollyweed and Black Triangle soon. These are the ones I would search for if I was looking for OG Kush traits. I will report back but there are already reports of these if you need information about them sooner, just use the search feature. I use the search feature quite often and will sometimes get info on a Bodhi strain in another thread. Alot of people use his work for breeding.

That's interesting, I popped half a pack and flowered out 2 females which exhibit the traits you've mentioned here (Bodhi thread on RIU). Keeping #4 and got 2 plants going in the next run.

I have a line on some Cornbread Mafia MDS seeds but I'm trying to figure out if should grab those or wait until the next Bodhi drop. A quick look on the net shows Jim Ortega did that work and I think that is the Bodhi offering.
Can anyone do a compare and contrast on those two? Thanks

The soil agronomist that I hired HATES the stuff, he said that he has clients that have failed for heavy metal(arsenic) in their bud. Kelp doesn't even raise micronutrient levels like "Bro Science" suggests. I started using my left over kelp as lawn fertilizer lol. Before I hired an agronomist, I was using Soil Savvy test kits from Amazon. I would get soil tests back that would show that I was very low in Mn, Zn, Cu, and B. I used kelp pretty heavy handed and retested. Sodium would go through the roof while K, Cu, and Fe would get a slight bump but I was mostly dealing with a Mn def and all of these natural inputs wasn't helping. Greensand worked the best, but it's also contaminated with lead. By the time that I was using enough rock dust, I would start getting toxic levels of containments but I'm mostly looking at kelp and azomite. I still use basalt and greensand, but not nearly at the rate that I was using before, which was around 2cups/Cu.ft(heavy handed). Anyways, I started using a lot more sulfates for my micronutrients and things are starting to work out a lot better. Before, I was using TM-7/Big-6 but wasn't really having any luck. Again, by the time that I got enough Mn in my soil, the other elements were getting out of balance. So, using Mn sulfate in my water has been a game changer for me. Hiring the soil agronomist helped me dial in my "Base saturation ratio" which I was badly over-looking and I was hyper-focused on micronutrients, but I still wasn't doing it correctly... Sorry to be so long winded, but the moral of the story is that I was using kelp to raise micronutrients, but it wasn't even doing that. Rock dust wasn't any help either with trace minerals. Getting soil tests and hiring an agronomist to help me with a soil Rx has been a game changer. I just wish that someone would have told me about this 10yrs ago, I always have to figure stuff out the hard way. The organic section wasn't much help, because most of my theories go against "Bro Science" and I was getting ridiculed for not following suit and going against the grain. However, I was watching "Future Cannabis Project" on youtube and the agronomist that I ended up hiring talked about this exact problem on the pod and I knew that I found the right guy. I feel selfish that I don't want to share his name, but I promised him that I would spread word of how he has helped me. They start talking about kelp and rock dust just before the 1hr mark, like 58min or so.
Thanks for the info.

You're welcome. As far as I know, Stray stopped working with that line because the offspring were coming out more perfume like and sweet. To clarify, not Bodhi's American Skunk Selection clone, but Stray's "Road Kill Skunk." As soon as you start to dilute the voalitile compounds their presence changes dramatically. Anyone looking for Road Kill Skunk should check out Heime Cheeba's release through Todd McCormick. I hear it's quite gnarly.
