I have been using your seedling mix. It's working great. Do you still add the oyster shell flour?
Depends on how good the humic portion is...using lesser quality materials I would add 1 cup per cubic foot of soil mix,otherwise shouldn't need it. Doesn't hurt or hinder ither way in a good mix

I have been re-using my soil the past two years and it always seems to be deficient in N for some reason. I use veg tea to keep them going through into flower but when they go balls out in flowering I always get a lot of yellowing. Yes, I top dress with Bu's, kelp meal, and EWC but nothing seems to kick it back into the green zone.

Do you have a generic re-amending protocol that you could share?

Ither locked up due to inadequate negative ionic exchange surface area or actually lacking food.

Is your biochar up to 10% for overall soil volume?
..using basalt rock dust?..worm castings?

..a pot dump and re-amend may be in order.

1 cup per cubic ft of fish meal,comfrey,or other organic high quality food source.

1 cup per cubic ft Acadian or cold processed Atlantic kelp meal

1 cup per cubic foot Pacific Pearl oyster shell powder

We offer a seasonal biodynamic accumulator food pack in my LOS store...as well as plug and play soil kits.
The seasonal BDA mix contains comfrey,mullen,plantain,sorrel, and catnip. All biodynamic nutrient dense food sources fungal and bacterial colonies can breakdown...thus made ionically available to the plant.

This year I did do a pot dump and re-amended with the following;
Basalt, EWC, Bu's, oyster shell powder, crab meal, neem meal, fish meal and some bio-live
I have no biochar at all.

I was in Mendocino consulting there and they gave me a handful of comfrey roots. I have three plants started now and will work them in for N.

The AACT tea I make is typically weekly but less often this year once I saw the problems again.

For 300 Gallons
2 shovels manure (they call it digested, so it's not scorching hot)
20c compost (source locally)
8c worm castings
8c arctic humus
8c diatomic humate
2c seaweed (powdered)
2c neem seed meal (optional but can't hurt)
1c feather meal
4c PBP veg (pure blend pro or some other broad based, organic veg fert)
2 tbls Superthrive
4-6c fish emulsion liq.
2c micorhizae

Okay..back off the AACT. I only AACT once or twice per cycle. The biomass of indoor pots typically can't keep up with the weekly 4.0 acid of the teas. ..just not enough negative surface area to attract and hold positive anions....calcium,magnesium get locked up.

Outdoor in ground heavy AACT dosing isn't really a big issue.

Get that char up to 10%..that will maintain balance in ionic exchange...especially in indoor pots.

superthrive is triconatol...a strong synthesized growth regulating hormone....prolongs flowering and produces foxtailing on types that would not otherwise. I stay away from it and would avoid using in flower altogether. ..might be some problems coming from that in the yellowing dept. as well.

Thank you, Gas!

These are all 30g outdoor pots, nothing in the ground.

I will back off the teas, dump pots and build up to 10% biochar, and toss out my bottle of Superthrive. I thought it was just B1.

Sativa dominant BOH tend to be the wig splitters.. Indica dominant not so much. I don't favor the Indica expressions.. Some people do. Some sativa expressions can actually be too potent and actually more like taking acid. Can get introspective and visually odd.
Crack em all, there should be a solid keeper or two per pack.

Here's a simple seeding mix.

1/3 high quality worm castings
1/3 perlite or pumice
1/3 peat moss

No food in mix until transplant into next up pot. Seedlings don't need a high octane mix to start life.
Some time around the 5th node I'll transplant into next up pot that is a mature LOS.

Using this seedling mix I have a higher sprout success rate. It's not inhabited by soil critters yet so less chance of sprouts getting consumed by soil critters before the seedling gets at the light.
I have been using my LOS for seeds and lost a few to sow bugs. Will do this next time, thanks.

Overpopulation of sow bugs can be damaging fo sure. They run out of food fast and start to eat the mature plants around the base as well as the roots.

Centipedes seem to keep populations in check. Feed centipedes little piles of fish meal on the surface of the soil to build their population...or rotate soil and let them leave your LOS outside to seek food elsewhere.

I was deleting stuff off my phone, and realized i never posted anything from last years grow of nl5/nhaze... This is the only pic i have right now... pretty good stuff, not quite as edgy as i was expecting, but definitely good. (Had a killer male, but couldn't use it because everything was already done by the time it showed sex... Took 6 months just to show! Oh well, maybe next time.)

How long did that take to flower?

Seed list is impressive. Two new types ordered, Nigerian sunshine and a nl5xxxhaze. Thanks Gas. Happy day
Bless up brotherman..

Nigerian Sunshine

Next season I'll be working with Pakistan landrace and Afghan landrace parentage...and more.

My best Nigerian Sunshine of the season in the photo..still a have a solid gallon jar full. I tend to select these mother's for the line.

I have the Nigerian Sunshine and the NS x Crowbar, what has the Crowbar added to the NS?

Crowbar is NS x Punto Rojo
Red Point Colombian reported to have higher CBD and a different effect than other Colombians.
I figured the unique effect of NS would make for a double whammy on unique effects with the combination.

The NS/Punto Rojo x NS is my favorite of that combo...not sure if these seeds are on my list,but yes I have some of both NS x Punto Rojo and NS/Punto Rojo x NS

...named after deaceased brotherman Crowbar who owned Eugene Orgeon's best rock shop 'I Love Rocks'...widow runs the bizz now.

That’s one of the reasons I picked it up, I’m a Geologist by education / trade and used to buy sell and collect mineral specimens, so when I saw the genetics and the story behind Crowbar I had to have it in my fold to play with. I would think there’s some neat terps to be found in that cross also.

..outside of collecting cannabis,collecting rocks is all I really do.
Dug this out of a local hole recently..fat little point..
