Here is what the garden looked like as of yesterday..
~24hrs after the application of the first diastatic malt tea..they definitely seem to have a positive response!
Praying Leaves
Two BOxNL5/haze in a 45gal smartpot...one is flowering way faster than the other! pretty sweet to see the difference between the two.
Lights just turning on..
The old veg tent which is now the flower tent..you can see the t5 fixtures in this shot...we'll see how those flowers turn out
the near side of the tent is lit by a 600w HPS which is out of frame

Cann,I'm a rookie with only a year under my belt and wondered what's your best method for starting seeds is.At first a friend would supply me with clones and then I started to do my own with mixed results.After using your recipe on the OP of this thread I've not had a single clone fail in 3 sets of cuttings.Got some new seeds today and want to start one right away.

Captainmorgan,
All you have to do is soak them in distilled/ro/good water for about 24h or until they sink once you gently push them down.
Better if you have ful-power, add it as for recommendations on the bottle to that water
And/or, if you bubble kelp meal for foliar and drenches, add a a bit of that to the water.
After the soaking you just want to plant them in your start up media
I am sure cann does something similar

soak in h2o w/ a bit of ful power and a splash of young coconut water...after ~16-20 hrs i add some aloe, let it sit for about 15 minutes (no more than 30 minutes!!! aloe will start to ferment - no bueno for your baby seed!) and then place into a rapidrooter (that has been soaking in the same h2o/fulpower/tiny amount of coconut water for a while). mist daily...and send good vibes. i like to picture the seed emerging in my head...swear to god it helps. just like most things in life...be confident, and it will happen. most of the time lol. 
here is cootz method:
1 gal h2o
1 oz aloe
1 oz fulpower
12 oz coconut h2o
soak for 24-36 hrs.
i'm pretty sure this is an old recipe and he revised it at a point to mention adding the aloe later...also less coconut h2o...don't quote me on that though - i need to take better coot notes. this recipe was definitely posted somewhere at some point though..lol
i believe he was using it to try and improve germination rates on seeds that were 10+ yrs old..

here she is 2 weeks later...~5 weeks
getting chunky...
view from a distance...two BOxNL5/haze ladies sharing a 45gal no-till...nasturtium and clover cover crop struggling to make it...burned tips from an over application of BioAg's TM-7 (the directions on the label are too strong!!! 1/4tsp per gallon is the proper amount...not 1/2-1 tsp lol. be warned!!!). i was on vacation for the last week or so and the person tending the garden kept the ganja alive but the cover crops suffered...at least everything is somewhat alive though. A/C broke one day and the temps hit 110....according to them lol...no idea but the ladies look okay..a bit of foxtailing here and there but what are ya gonna do...
these are hands down the fattest buds I have ever had at week 5. props to swami...and of course old coot for keeping the amazing BO around for 29 years and counting...longer than I have been alive....its hard to wrap my head around sometimes. very, very thankful to have acquired these genetics

All rightie Cann!!!! 
You have a wonderful garden- Hats off!!!
The cloning method and the no till is just wonderful. Thank you for shedding so much info to me and all the people around you. Got ma eyes on whatever you are posting.
Save a seat for me too, am in!
So that's why you asked me about Aloe-vera huh Wish I could visit your plave with some nice green slender ones from my home...
So good to see people realizing that bottled and fancy nutes aren't just a waste of money, it's destroying our mother earth. The reason I smoke weed is that it is what god gave us, he didn't use nutes though
One quick question- do you have a compost bin? Will adding some live earthworms into our growing medium help?
Give my love to your plants too,

Wow Cann those are some nice looking plants. Packing on a lot of resin. What is growing on the tops of your pots? Are they mushrooms?

Amazing looking plants my friend. I sooooooo wanna switch to organics but I'm nervice. Its like relearning to walk. Starting from scratch. I can't find a lot of these products that people using here locally. I've been getting ready to switch for about 2 years now. I've been cooking some fancy compost each year with all the amendments I can get my hands on. My worms have done a great job and I'm getting ready to use the first batch from two years ago. I'm in the prosess of making a compost tumbler that seperates the the EWC from the compost via my cement mixer. I find it relaxing and hard work all in one. I'm lookin forward to switching and the change in quality and taste.
Just curious no- till means you run the same soil in the same pots every run with out breaking up the root ball right? Lol

Hell yeah!!! Good stuff you've got going on there, Cann.
I just finished catching up on your journal after a long hiatus of soaking up knowledge over at IC. It's really great to see some REAL organics going on here at RIU. For so long it seemed like the attitude here was "follow the recipes/schedules/instructions and stop asking questions". That's why I bailed. But now I am back.
I just transplanted some Atomic Northern Lights to 10-gal pots of my recycled mix (about a year old now), and these pots will become my first no-tills come next round. I plan to start up a journal, too. Keep an eye out.
Nice work, as always.
Cheers,
~SpicySativa
