I'm with you dez. I think there is a relationship with soil and plants that just can't be replicated in hydro. That is not to knock it all, I plan on one day growing at least one plant in some sort of hydro/aero/whatever method but for now, I'm a soil guy, I like the dirt. I also have this nagging picture of springing a leak and it going until there is no more to go, my plants are dead and my house is in bad shape. I'll stick to the dirt. I read a bunch when it comes to this hobby of ours. As whoever stated, we're all looking for the holy grail, or at least parts of it. I'm trying the botanicare stuff because it contains no chemical salts to build up and start screwing with the plants. I was looking at a thread on here that said something like; do your plants look like this? It was a pic of a flowering plant with some crispy leaf tips, we all know the look. He then asked what it was, and then proceeded to describe it as a salt buildup. I could see where there would be plenty of guesses, wrong guesses and I would fall into that category. So I decided to try to get away from using chemical ferts, didn't want to go with guano, although it looks appealing. I ended up after reading an article about growing 'vegan' style, plant derived nutrients basically, going with the botanicare because it is a one part complete nute with secondary nutes and trace elements without any salts to cause a buildup and lockout.

I also bought some neem oil. I've never used it. For those who do, care to share some info on its uses?

I can't take credit for this recipe but, if you like apples or apple pie, you'll love this stuff.

My in-laws call it Apple Brown Betty but I'm not sure why. Anyway, I'll be making some with cannabutter this weekend as long as I really have kicked the infection that's been kicking my arse. Actually have cannabutter brewing in the crockpot as I type in anticipation of making this stuff.

Hopefully the attachment will open big enough to be able to read it.

HU....You might be interested in a style of organic known as TLO(totally living organic)...the term was coined by a dude named "Rev" he's on a couple other forums and I havn't run into him on RIU yet....but he post a few articles in "Skunk" mag. from time to time....check it out....I would love to grow this way...To be honest...I don't have the balls...I know I would fuck it up....the idea is to feed the plant with a living, thriving organic soil...google it..I thinky you likey!!!

I have used GH products for years now and have had 3 harvest using the GH Flora 3 part series as my base nute....then I add in the Liquid Koolbloom...Floralicous Plus...FloraBlend(It's vegan HU)....I love it and really don't see the need to venture off into something else if what I have is working great....I would like to minimize all the different bottles....I wish GH would do something like Advanced did and put all their different boosters and supplements into the base fert......anyway....what were you using previously(currently) HU

I was using for vegging, dyna-gro 9-3-6 and for flowering jack's classic blossom booster 10-30-20, those were my main nutes. I also use at different times all sorts of other additives and supplements. There are a few things I use on every grow. Liquid Karma, molasses, mycorrhizae, cal-mag and silica. This grow I started using rhizotonic and loved the results. I will continue to use some sort of root stimulator in the future. I also have and use or not, pk 13/14, gravity, snowstorm, bushmaster and probably a couple of other things from foxfarm tucked in the back of the 'food' cabinet.

Endls, I think without looking at google, the article I just read in the new high times is probably along the same lines, a living soil. I think it might be easier to accomplish than you are thinking. Mycorrhizae will give your roots the fungus you need. Worm casting are full of bacteria. Add some worm castings to your soil, use some mycorrhizae, a dab or three of molasses to feed the bacteria and off you go. I use the four ounce powder of plant success mycorrhizae, it contains both ecto and endo strains of fungus. It's all one big ongoing experiment. After almost two years it's time for a change in my approach. I'll keep trying new things as long as I'm able.
