    BioChar

    This was the first biochar I used and still my most productive. My new mixes contain horticultural biochar but I actually see more productivity with lump charcoal. I ferment for weeks with alfalfa and kelp to get it ready for my soil. I never ever mix more than 10%. I found a video a while back...

    The unofficial Official 11 / 13 from Seed thread -

    I'd like to get in on this. I have a 150 gallon-ish soil bed so waiting to flip to flower is wasting precious time. What are your experiences with 11/13 from seed? When do the plants start to flower?

    How long will your LED grow light last? When do you need to replace your LED grow light?

    People today... He could create the data we desperately need. I don't know his background, but if he can afford it he should acquire better data. Not saying he can of course. Lets get Apogee to test his lights.

    How long will your LED grow light last? When do you need to replace your LED grow light?

    I'm interested in how the spectrum changes, not par. It might be beneficial if it shifts to the deep red range, which would explain the decrease in par. It might not actually lose intensity either. Why is he not measuring par vs spectrum vs intensity? A little disappointed.

    Are Bridgelux EB series gen 2 strips still the best bang for your buck if you're in Canada?

    You can run eb gen 2s at 1050ma without a heatsink. I run 12 per hlg-240-1050b. I have 48 in my 4x4 running at 75% full power. I have the lights over 4 feet away from my canopy and get 600 par, and hardly any shadows. If you can, try to get something higher cri. I got 80 cri and am kicking...

    Bringing soil ph down during the grow

    How different are the soils? The fact that they are not yellowing in a bigger pot is a strong sign of nitrogen deficiency. Thats normal. Cannabis creates resin in response to stress whether it is heat, cold, low light, high light, water, or nutrient. Lack of nutrition is a stress condition so...

    Bringing soil ph down during the grow

    I think the plant, if healthy, will release acids that naturally decrease ph in the surrounding soil. That is how it takes up nutrient salts and releases them from high CEC materials. Honestly, your probably just out of nitrogen. Those are small pots. The first thing I do when I see a...

    SST (sprouted seed tea) do's and donts?

    I make Mung bean SST, blend in water, then topdress. Mung beans are cheap as hell and we like to eat them too! I wonder if you can go overboard with an SST. Doesn't seem possible unless alfalfa seeds contain lots of nitrogen... It's just a bunch of enzymes after all.

    Dream Garden Come True

    Howdy! Update time! Cheeseberry haze is doing great! I'm 99% sure it is a female, she smells amazing already. Started a new experiment I call composting in place. When we cook with avacados or tomatoes at home, I blend it, soak in water overnight, then place in a random spot in my pot. The...

My soil is based on it and is very alive. Even in small 1/2 gallon cactus pots. Kis organics also has a great podcast. Lots of great...

    Best way to clean/dry/store compost tea brewer?

    Just a fun side note. Aerobic bacteria easily out compete anaerobic bacteria. Same with good vs bad bacteria. So if you have enough oxygen you have nothing to worry about!
