Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

CC answered some questions on the mag regarding my schedule. I'm doing this stuff 1x a week now as the master pointed out. Always goes back to over doing things. Very easy to accomplish when you're on a roll.

There are only 2 actual liquid kelp products on the market - KELPAK & KelpGrow and products like Maxicrop are simply water and the powdered seaweed extract which is made using Potassium Hydroxide and/or Sodium Hydroxide - the same chemical compounds you'll see on the label on a bottle of Draino - good stuff indeed!

Here's an easy way to make a true 'soluble kelp concentrate:

1/4 cup of kelp meal
1/2 cup of clean water

Soak until the kelp meal is completely and totally hydrated. Pour off any excess water and do something else with it.

Take this kelp and use a food processor, Osterizer or any powerful mixer and puree the kelp and try and get it as consistent as possible.

Now you have true kelp extract and not seaweed extract. When you need kelp for a tea, mix about 1 tsp. to quart of water and dilute completely. Now you have a kelp meal tea without traces of Draino to trip you up.

On your question.....

1. Answered

2. 1x per week will give you the results you're wanting

3. I like doing aloe vera & coconut water with Ful-Power 1x per week.

4. I can't imagine much benefit using coconut water as a foliar spray. The action you want to see from the specific enzymes take place in the soil and not on the leaves & branches. It's like applying Humic acid on your leaves - why? To what end?

Yes I am aware of that. I won't move it. Next time I ll order the smart pots again... I had a hard time finding the right size and I thought I would try something new. Def. an expensive bag I thought I would make 2 bags out of the 11ft (38$) but I doubled it to make it sturdier. If I need to move it I ll slide a tarp under... I figure I would probably get a couple years out of it if I dont need to move it?

I ll roll landscape fabric around when it begins to fall apart.
Check out the Root Pouch they are about half he price of Smart Pots.

This is usually the site that has the best deal on them but they are out of stock till May 30th

On my thread, hyroot mentioned viagrowtm bags on amazon, BY FAR the cheapest smart pots I have seen online. 8$ for a 25 gallons.

I hope that my coco pouch will outdo most pouch, I like that the plants will start eating the container at some point :eyesmoke:

great work headtreep.

i used to use a lot of magic potions and mixtures but i got lazy. makes me wonder what kind of weight i'd pull using what you use. i've been pulling 17 oz every 3 months in a 4' 9" square tent using a 600 watt. i don't need more weight but i am curious.

we'll have to chat. :)

fatbotOGOF, just wait until you sample the meds hehe. Yields are by far better than anything I've tried but besides that, the levels of terpenes and resins you can produce giving the proper genetics are off the charts. We will have to chat for sure man!

Just finished trimming a plushberry plant...grown in ROLS..10 gallon smartpot - final weight was just over 200grams...almost a half lb. from one plant. and this is under 600 watt lights..:bigjoint:

Have a question .. im in a new place (house) I have tomatoe plants, eggplants, peppers, zucchini all currently in pots and some small seedlings like huckleberries and such in tiny starter pots right now and I'm having a problem with ear wigs eating the shit out of my leaves. Got off work tonight decided to look at the plants and saw lots them on the leaves of the plants so I killed about 40 or so before didn't really see anymore. Anyone know of a good way get rid of them or keeping them away and off my plants ?
