Good morning ofc! Another beautiful day in the pnw! Over 80 degrees today.. kinda early.. but nice. I am planting flowers like a mad woman..
DD, yes seaweed is good. Are you using EM!? I love it outdoors. Never got a bug outdoors last year. I haven't used it indoors ... Umbra do you use EM1 indoors? I know he does.. i am betting anyway.

two hours of pt and trainer today... i would rather nap.

Yes I use it indoors. It is an organic farmer's best friend. Its funny, it works with syn nutes very well also, having been developed for waste remediation. And by the way, Good Morning OFC.

ugh 93 here today, rose yes use the EM-1 indoors, im noticing it driving the root aphids i got out of my cups, craziest thing to see the buggies just doing circles on the rim till they die. its like a mas exodus to get away from the EM-1.

i have been using it now or months off and on, problems really staret when i slack. i swear its killing everything when i use it foliarly too, between the azamax and the em-1 foggings i do the leaves look so shiny and green they look almost fake.

rose i stopped using ph down as well, i just use the em-1 as long as the mix isnt to hard, some of these girls really like calmag, and thats hard to over come with out some acids.

water only days get RO a lil calmag, epsom and EM-1

When everyone else is doing a 2 week flush, I am using em1 to get rid of any excess nutes or dead roots. I've been using em1 for 5 or 6 years now. Big fan of bokashi also.

flushing with this is great, just enough molasses, plus it gets my coco ready for the next go around

em-1 is a specialized microbe colony

I know water pharming is water pharming and a nute formula that works in one will work in another but I got special problems that other ways may not have !--- I got a 396 gph filtered pump in the bottom of a 35 gal storage box about a third full of nute solution -- On top the pump is a square PVC manifold topped by microsprayers ---When that pump comes on all hell breaks loose in the box as the nute solution sprays the roots and falls down for another trip !--- Anyway foam is my enemy it blocks O2 from my roots !-- Hydrogaurd has worked for me !-- Now D.D. wants to use this tea to inoculate the boxes regularly !-- If I feed them I will get biofoam !--- This tea is cultured from Earth worm castings --micos - and some other stuff ---Something like 35,000 different types of micro organisms! --- I'm leary but she's confident !--Any foam and we done with the stuff !

I feel like I'm on one of them challenge shows !-- Grow Weed but with restrictions! -- Not only will U have to avoid detection by law enforcement and the cartels and anyone else who will take your sh** if they know !---- U also can have no dirt in your grow room and U have to grow with midrange LEDs !--- O.K. go !--- Huh?--- I do what I can !

em-1 is a specialized microbe colony

technically it is a consortium of microbes that work synergistically together.

i hear you on that. i'm giggywatts or giggy and on a few sites myself. the only one i used a different name on i was a admin on and it's gone by way of the dodo bird.

Seriously though, I'm up late researching for the business & would like to hear any thoughts on using seaweed in your grow. It sounds like it would be a great addition.

I think you are looking at seaweed and what it does all wrong. It's not the nute value that makes it worthwhile or an important part of your grow, it's the microbes that are attracted by it. Most of the immune system in people is in their gut with all kinds of microbes, this is very much the same thing. By attracting the right microbes you build an immune system that is better suited to fighting bugs, diseases, and even drought.

a friend wants to grow his tomato's just like I did. So he was potting his seedlings and I gave him some Bokashi. His wife did not use any of it for her seedlings. the next morning, his were standing tall. hers were all drooped over. It is amazing stuff. Will never grow without again. some people drink it for their gut, probiotics.

No Umbra she was telling me about that last night !--- She brewing microbe tea with sea weed stuff --Ancient forest humus earthworm castings feeding them and aerating with a bubbler !-- We're going to innoculate the boxes regularly because I'm not feeding them in the boxes !-- I want to put the bugs in there --They eat the bad stuff and die !---Then we do it again later !

I finally feel like we got a handle on it ! --I can grow like this so now it's time to learn to be good at it !

Somewhere along the line I ran across the myth of Dr. David Suzuki and how he made U.B.C. Chemo using colchicine to induce polyploidy in weed !--- The chase was on !--- I did this with a different chemical in a pickle jar !-- This ain't Doctor work !--- I did it !-- Now I gotta get good at it !-- D.D. wants out of working in the hospital !--- I think we can do that !

I know a lot of weed grower also grow other veggies and stuff but j thought I'd share a neat bug solver for tomatoes and whatever else you want to use it for. I use Garlic Water for bugs. When k grew tomatoes and a garden outside j would use garlic water and spray all over and around the garden and then I would put cloves of garlic everywhere and blend up some in water and water som plants with garlic water. It would keep the bad bugs away but some of the pretty butterflies and stuff would still come around This was when I was young at my dads place still. I grew some good tomatoes in pots with garlic water. The plants started getting droopy when the tomatoes bloomed but they stayed strong and finished with some awesome tasting tomatoes. NO THEY DIDNT TASTE LIKE GARLIC EITHER. Just some reall yummy tomatoes. Thot it was a neat way I'd share if anyone wants to try t with a Veggy plant. Also. If you like spice. Plant a tomatoe plant in a large large pot and plant a bunch of hot pepper plants all around it. The tomatoes will get a nice little spice to them. Not enough to burn ya tongue but just enough you can tell its there You guys probably have either heads of or done it already tho. Lol

Good Evening OFC. I spray my plants with EM 1 at night and when I wake up and look the mj plant is happy. Found a lady bug today. Put it right on mj. I'm on the look out.

I feel so relax and peaceful. It time for a smoke. :48:

Oh I want to grow more mj. But I am worried about the smell outside. Live on a dirt road and I just move mj to the back of my six foot fence in front of my house. I am having 2nd thoughts.
