It does...
I hit the Blue Mystic (Blueberry x Purple Skunk) sort of on purpose with the Velvet Rush male knowing the Highland Blue Thai was in both parents...
...looks like it worked out.What I remember about smoking VR from yesteryear was that your mind was active but not racy at all. We would hit Oak St. most afternoons in Laguna which was and is a popular spot for surfers and Boogie Board riders.
The VR was the perfect 'smoke' in those halcyon daze - if you could afford it then living in Laguna Beach was the epitome of the So-So-Cal lifestyle - sun, water, weather, hot Bahama Mamas, easy sex, great restaurants and the entire range of drugs you could possibly want.

CC,
Your methods clog all my damn pipes. After adding the aloe and coconut water to my program last year I'm finding I need to clean my pieces every damn day. I used to clean them every other or two. WTF lol!!!!
BTW I love South OC. Miss all the fun.

The amount of trichs really increase don't they? The smell factor is increased by crazy numbers as well. I couldn't imagine what a bottled product at a grow store would cost if it produced the same results. You'd need a good stoner brand name to draw interest though. Something that could appeal to the masses...

I almost fell out of my chair man. Funny comment CC. I still need to do the new SST version. I will try the new version at end of the week. I bet I will need to clean those pipes twice a day after that. I've been growing a special pheno of a strain called Casey Jones for well over a year now. I shit you not, the colas are the size of pineapples after introducing the SST teas at the beginning of this year. Pretty much almost doubled in size.
Thanks again as always. Your teachings are spreading to the masses and helping many in need trust me.

Well - I guess this is as good a place as any to post this...
I purchased a full bag of diastatic malt which is the version with the highest levels of enzymes in the barley malt arena vs. non-diastatic malt which are the flavored malts. No enzymes but the endosperm is roasted at different temperatures and for different times depending on what they're wanting to achieve. The simple sugars in the endosperm are converted to Maltose which you've probably seen on food labels.
The malt came from a large 'malt house' as they're known as and this one is Great Western Malting which is 80 years old and they have 2 malt houses in the US - Vancouver, Washington & Pocatello, Idaho and 10 regional sales & distribution operations around the country.
They produce malts for the distilling, brewing & food industries (the Maltose deal). They even do an organic line.
I gave 10 lb. bags to 5 people that were interested. They all had been doing the sprouting a seed process and this went far beyond growing MMJ. Plants included tomatoes, peppers, flowering plants, mints, etc. These were all greenhouse set-ups.
The results and comments were all the same as my observations: there was no measurable difference in the results. Having said that I did not ask about MMJ nor did anyone offer any comments so I only have my experience using the powder vs. v2.0 with the same strain from the same mother plant.
I ran diastatic malt on one plant and the SST v2.0 on the other. They looked like that they will be done by tomorrow or perhaps Thursday. The changes were identical in every respect.
I learned that malt houses have to use strict procedures to insure the same results. Imagine the repercussions from a bad batch hitting a national brewer or even in the home brewing circle.
The price that I paid at a brewing store was $75.00 which may or may not be fair. It probably is not. A single pound at the same store was $3.00 so they aren't doing anyone any great deals.
The amount that I used through the entire cycle was 1 tablespoon which is 'close enough' to 1/2 oz. or at least close enough to figure out an application cost. A pound would give you 32 tablespoons making 32 gallons. Even at the single-pound price, your cost is below $.10 per gallon.
So that's buying it at a brew store but there's a better way to get your hand on this malt version - food-service companies. In the sector for bakeries they sell a 10 lb. pack which lists for $19.99 and companies like Sysco, Monarch Foods, Shamrock Foods, Food Services of America and other regional players will either stock it or can get it with a special order. There is also a baking supplier, Bake Mark, which is national so they would always carry this malt. It's pretty standard in the artisan and high-end baking world.
There you go......

sorry CC .... you know i'm a little thick
are you saying 1/2 oz of something we can pick up at the brew store has the same effect as the sprouted seed teas?
what is the process? measure, shake and pour or is there more to it than that?

Correct and the process is exactly as you described - mix with water and hit the soil 1x each week. That's all you need to do.
I would add this - a complete saturation of the soil has worked the best for me but YMMV
CC
You know though - there's a certain irony about hitting a brew store to buy amendments for cannabis plants.
I found it ironic anyway...

irony is not a bad thing if it keeps you out of the grow store right?

I think I'm going to have to incorporate aloe and coconut water! Both are available, nice and fresh, a block from here.
I need some more Thai like that in my life Jay... thanks for letting me re-post that shot bro.

Coba - if you like mushrooms and hearing things that aren't there....then falling into a dream state and waking up a different person, then you'd probably like this herb - OMG guys - my 12 week sample kicked my ASS, I'm talking two or three hits and shazaam where's my space helmet??
This is going to take some acclimating too LOL - the kind of smoke that'll leave amateurs curled in a ball in the corner asking for their binky - not exaggerating.... I had no idea...
.Thai Sativa - where've you been all my life?

Can anyone identify this plant? Grows rampant around me in the north east. Might be another good addition to the compost. Nettles are up too. I'll try and get a pic of those later
CC thanks for posting about the malt.
I asked before but will again are aloe and coconut water a good alternative to sprouted teas? Now that i know about the malt though i might give that a try.
Also 2 days ago i sprayed my veg plants with CC's cilantro tea mix for mites and i added a bit of coconut water too. I have lots of white spots on the leaves now from the coconut water should i just leave them be or give them a plan water wash afterwards? The leaves really did perk up after i sprayed them down.

Why did the 90's and 00's have to happen to cannabis? I guess so we can re-revolutionize the scene - incredible....3000+ yrs and then well....I guess it was flushed....LOL
