I just realized that the alkalinity of my water is very low, so despite being around 8 PH, short of any additives I put in that might change the alkaline aspect, it will most likely adjust to the soil, not the soil adjusting to it. It is very possible that some of the people I saw mention a high...

I have Kelp meal, alfalfa meal, the molasses, fish hydrolysate, and soon worm castings. I figure brewing a tea with those things (not specifically all at once, or alternating depending on when in the plants life cycle) should cover the kind of thing that you are speaking of. They probably have...

Do you feel citric acid is preferable to absorbic acid, or are both fairly equal to use? I was reading that they have a swing where it will drop for a while but then creep back up over the course of something like 24 hours maybe, so in that regard it would be up to adding some and waiting a day...

Yeah I think that would come down to the folks doing potential soil tests, or tests for the prominent/relevant organisms in their tea, I feel like some have done it, but then you would only know the specifics for the particular tea they were brewing and the "suggested time" to brew then directly...

Another thing I noticed is the buckets I have my water in that I aerate etc, have had the small amount of molasses I used in them for several days now. I have just been letting them sit, no aeration, and it is only molasses and water. The water seems to look a little cloudy now in a way it...

Thank you very much for your reply! What cover crop(s) do you use? I am still getting used to what the plants want the most during their various stages of growth. I have recently downloaded "Teaming With Microbes" in both audio book and PDF format, but consider getting a hard copy to read along...

Howdy all! First post here, and technically my first solo grow (I have helped with grows all my adult life, but never oversaw my own). First my soil mix is the clackamas coots mix (organic living soil): 1/3rd Medium Perlite, 1/3 Sphagnum Peat Moss 1/6 Malibu Compost 1/6 Wiggle Worm Pure Worm...

we only have chlorine here :)

Thanks for your response! I plan to use 4 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket, the temps at the moment are around 70 degrees, I wouldn't plan to let it get down much past 60 degrees come fall/winter. Perhaps 4 to 5 gallons would take less time at cannabis comfortable temps? I guess even if it...

I have some aeration to toss into 5 gallon buckets for my tap water. Our city only uses chlorine, no chloramine. I have been reading conflicting messages on how long an aerated 5 gallon of water would take to dechlorinate. Some people say 2 to 4 hours, while others say 24 to 48 which is the same...

So I am a new grower, and despite some of the notions that there should not be enough chlorine in my water to matter (I have looked up the water reports from my company and they only use chlorine not chloramine) I bought some aeration tubes/stones to toss in some 5 gallon buckets. The one thing...

Do you guys find that some black pantyhose (single or double layer) are good enough as an intake filter to help keep things like bugs/mites and dust out? Or is a dust shroom really needed. I guess I could ask the same thing about pantyhoes on the vent set up in a window?
