So I live in the mid-west. I was wondering if anyone knew if you can use eurasian milfoil (freshwater invasive seaweed), which I heard is crazy rich in phosphorus(which makes sense, because Tru-Green Chemlawn run-off is a lot of the problem). Also could a fella' use crayfish corpses and mussles...

Best question so far . ." What do you have more of, Time or Money? " . . .

You should ask him if the hydrosolate process would nullify any or most possible negatives to feed grade soybean meal due to it's availability. One thing grower should always think about is how long is the logistics train to get you what you rely on? There may even be like some amish family farm...

Are you noticing any benefits pest-wise because of the use of the neem? I bought a small amount of solution grade at my local health food store but have only used it in the avocados so far.

You sound like a person that thinks like me self . . . What are your thoughts on IPM in general and how many cycles are you in?/! You also sound like a midwesterner

So it is all a good idea. The major thing is not putting something in that would compete but benefit your plant in a noticeable way. Some known herbs can effect flavor/terps. You should have something covering the soil. That is critical to keep your microclimate zones existing. With out that the...

If you were a fella' who would get raw meal and put it through the process. Any feed mill will have it on hand. 50 lb sack would be 18-22 right now. Also, since you are breaking it down you wouldn't have to worry about sourcing. The soybean hull might have Glyphosate or another Herbicide on them...

I agree. I am about to start my second cycle ( I think most in here enjoy steep learning curves )and I feel like now that I'm harvesting I've jumped the shark. I had spider mites, I caught em and I killed em. I figure once I figure out my schedules, feeding, watering, foliars, ect. then I'll be...

I have watched most of that podcast. So are you strictly using it during flower, or for root developement, or is there an organism(s) you're trying to grow??

would an SST achieve the same goal? what does the process of making it a hydrosolate remove? Is it making something more plant available?

Are you running a cover crop on you soils? What type of blends have you come up with? Has anyone found a plant that effected their plants in a good/bad way? I'm thinking of having a super hot pepper growing in the tent. I also have peas in my pots (15 gal). I'm trying a lot of different...

Not seeing any amber and if you are focusing in they look clear.

I was watching living soil conv. on FCP u-teub. Leighton Morrison was commenting that if over 6% total mass the microbiology will choose to inhabit the biochar over the soil because it's basically their ideal home. But you don't receive any nutrient cycling or have any life above a certain...

sounds like a soil-less mix with that much biochar . . . I thought the microbiology will inhabit the biochar and not the soil sub-straight and as you won't have soil structure due to no soil, you will have problems with nute supply to the plant . .

I agree, you may have pushed into basic range on the Ph scale in pursuit of Ca. A plant will make it's Ph when it needs it, unless your soil is messed up. Too many amendments can cause issues. . .

I have a real question for the masses. Do you rely on Boveda packs in your jars/CVault ? or are you old school and cure it, store it/use it, all from a jar ( or something else??/!! )?? I've seen some sick buds a year old or more still sticky and gooey long before the Boveda crowd. Tell us...

With living soil I won't be Nuking everything. It's all about adapting and figuring out a solution. I will be bleaching the tent but the soil will be moving onto the next grow. At least now I have an idea of the length of time it takes to get them under control. I will say, I never had an IPM...

High frequency anything is interesting. I am familiar with the effects of RF's on living organisms and how their bodies function. I am curious about the de-ionized water . . . I wonder is that a truely an effective treatment . .

The million dollar question is how long do they usually take to get them under control? Also what does control look like? Gone? . . or just a lot less?

I live in the great lakes region and was wondering if anyone has used native preditors for IPM? Like rove beetles, mites of differing types, preditory flys . . .so on? Also does anyone have suggestions on getting insects for use? I have used Buglogical, but I didn't use the microscope to see if...
