its really alkaline soil here too.
heck i need to be where you are if a guy can drive round wit truck load some cool stuff and bater for ff soil that way. LOL im a real pack rat an have so much kewl stuff an never use it.. lol im one them guys who see's somethin neat an wether i have a use for it or not i just gotta have it if i can afford it.
"he who dies wit the most toys, WINS!!" LOL
I thought bout the teas thing. but im still only on my third grow in my life. 2nd indoor at current now still in veg. and one outdoor last year.
im one them dudes who has a hard time walkin an chewin bubblegum at the same time (haha) so i tend to try an stick as lil things to get the hang of as possible and as i learn them i add more things to the mix so to speak. kinda work my way into the deeper end i guess.
but i recently purchased the floranova grow and bloom nutrients.
i also thought that when usin compost/manure or teas made from them or any other stuff was increasing chances for pests moold etc..? but even if a guy can do things an tweek things to prevent it all, thats exactly wat im talkin bout which im lil intimidated of jus yet is all
but im sure i'll get into it in the next grow or two. maybe
i agree that nutes do cost a fortune to some of us. but for beginners yet they're simpler imo.
but i do totally see ya point on the organic bit man i do. i also thought bout goin at it this round too but i backed off it when my lil ones now were obviously not diggin the soil. as i changed the soil tehy imroved. my ph was way off wack when i mixed my own compost/peat etc etc soil media mix. it was only 4.74 then added lime an without testin beforre i planted i noticed the runoff after i put them in it was only 5.34 after adding the lime even.
im a have to play around wit some soils etc in between grows or somethin to get the hangle of it all first maybe.
plus i also love the taste of organically grown bud. it is hands down the best tastin herbage i ever smoked in my life
i got few old cb's layin round here too... LOL think they of value to anyone?
good score on the dirt tho i must say man.
but until then im all ears an open for learnin on anythin involvin organics.
