Tutorial Organics for Beginners

[Brother Bear]

the thing is im not growing from clone but from seeds

don't forget, when you sex the males
dump that mix right back into your new mix, it's still good

i have been adding the LQ right from the beginning when i first wet the mix
from then on out
it's good stuff and i have never seen a problem using it early on
hope this helps

 

[floydfanx6]

u wet the mix with just LK and water,,not the ewc/molasses/LK tea u feed to the plants right??

 

[Brother Bear]

that is how i do it personally, yes
i also add 1Tbl to molasses to every gal of water i put in, even from the first wetting
............ going back to how everyone likes to add a diff amount

mix it up already !!!!

LC's mix #1 blood/bone/kelp

 

[floydfanx6]

how about some results using that mix?? thas what i havent seen yet,,also i know its not needed,,but is it possible to add in some PK booster to add on extra weight but fuck up things,,i mean have u ever?? i have hydroplex ,from botanicare just curious

so i bubble the ewc in panty hose,with water molasses LK,,,,,and wet the soil mix over the 2 weeks just to keep it damp not wet,,then water every single time with ewc,molasses and LK to harvest,,,,unless i have a N deficiancy in flowering,
i think i got it all now?

 

[floydfanx6]

u dont use the ewc to prepare the soil..only the molasses/LK/water,,,does burnone,do it your way,,or wet the soil with the full ewc/LK/molasses/water tea
thank u

LC's mix #1 blood/bone/kelp

 

[Brother Bear]

i believe this is what he does

Mix all the dry ferts into the soiless mix well and wet it, but don't soak it with Liquid Karma and water @ 1 tbs./gal. Stir and mix it a few times a week for a week or two so the bacteria can get oxygen and break down the bone meal and make it available. And don't let the mix dry out, keep it moist and add water as needed. It'll also have time to get the humic acids in the Liquid Karma going and the dolomite lime will be better able to adjust the pH of a peat based mixture too.

so... only the LQ

 

[floydfanx6]

so just mix it with molasses,and LK,,do u bubble it,,or just mix well and wett,sorry,,i just wanna make sure before i start

 

[Brother Bear]

i don't bubble it

 

[floydfanx6]

u mix the lk with the water,,and moisten the soil for 2 weeks,,u dont ph this solution im sure the lk drops the ph,,,im just not used to organics im sorry,lol,,i think i got it all now im gonna start the mix tommorow,thank u all

 

[Brother Bear]

no problem
and fuggedabout that PH thingy too
you won't be needing to measure that anymore

 

[floydfanx6]

wtf,,thats with lc's mix,,recipe # 1,,,u just water to harvest with LK and molasses,and thats yr results,,damn,,,looks awesome,,
ive grown a lot,,always used pbp,or foxfarm,,,i wanted to try this out,,to be 100% organic,,and frankly to be lazy,,i hate phing,,checking ppm's,flushing,mixing nutes,,whatever now that ive seen the results,,it almost seems too good to be true,,u just water to harvest with the tea,and u get consistant results,whats the point of using commercial nutes

 

[floydfanx6]

u dont do anything,,make any changes?? you said in mid flowering u might top the soil with more soil mix/nutes,,,thats it,,u just watered to harvest with LK/molasses,,and nothing else

 

[Brother Bear]

yep you got it easy as pie right ? LOL

you said in mid flowering u might top the soil with more soil mix

yeah i usually don't, but sometimes from seed i get a huge plant in a small pot
then i will add mebbe an inch halfway through
probably helps to ease my mind more than anything

have fun OH the friendship is accepted :friends:
some Casey Jones in LC's mix for ya

Basically with LC's #1 you want to feed the soil, not the plants. All of the nutrients from the blood/bone/kelp will be broken down into the soil and available for your plants to use as they see fit. Any ancillary feeding is done if the plants show signs that they need more of whatever deficiency is observed.

From the reading I've done, the EWC/molasses teas are the maintain your microherd in the soil. There really is no point in using commercial nutes since we are organic growers and self-sustaining

 

[floydfanx6]

question-im obviously going to need to buy a aquarium/water pump,,ive never made a tea before,,whats the min gph my pump has to be to mix up the ewc tea nicely? i see 1 on ebay for 10 bux 60 gph,,,or do i need stronger thats quite a price differance all i wanna do is mix up teas ,im waiting on u guys to buy,,i wanna make sure its mixed well,,but i wanna spend the least amount of money possible to achieve this

 

[floydfanx6]

or could I buy a pump too strong to overmix the tea, and ruin it??. sorry if these are stupid questions im really new to this world of growing wanna make sure everything goes smoothe

 

[Brother Bear]

are you bubbling in a 5gal bucket, or a 50gal drum ?
i would guess it depends on that

 

[floydfanx6]

umm 5 gallon drum,,il do 3-4 gallons at a time probobly max in there
