Light dep won't be setup till Oct, that was my bored first attempt at bending my own hoops, still need to level out and finish it up for winter depos with supplemental lighting

 

[FreakyFarmer]

This is the last of current greenhouse light depo

Sorry for hijacking big plant folks!

If you have a lot of leakage, that's probably why your rig isn't working well,

I don't know what the hose is called. I just got some hose off of the hardware store shelf.

I can take a picture if you want.

There is a new organic nutrient coming to market soon, the labeling and packaging phase is currently underway.

Pretty cool! So, nothing special on the hoses then, huh? I'm think I'm going to add some teflon tape around the barb n get some better hose clamps... Things got distance, that's for sure...

how are you powering your NorthStar pump? did you cut the wires and attach it to a battery? it didn't come with a plug or anything ><

more p0rn..
another 5g x blue dream pheno

Ken's gear is impressive

extremely good medicne, peyote x taskenti, gonna let her go 12 weeks.

Looks amazing Milky! Congrats on your hard work paying off so far.

 

[milkyjoe]

Thanks bd and byf. The aea stuff gets a lot of discussion but the tainio microbes and enzymes really do the job also
Kind of equivalent to aerobic teas and coot type sprouted seed teas but easier for lazy dudes like me.

 

[Bulldog420]

You don't mind the smart pots huh Milky? I am on the fence about them, thinking raised beds would be better. I am setting up a permanent set up for my green house and can't figure out the best way to go. I like raised beds/smart pots because then I know how much soil I am amending. However, at the end of the season I will mix up all the soil, get soil tests, and amend accordingly. This would be hard to do with beds, because I will use a UTV or bobcat to mix and remove soil. Smart pots I could just turn over and remove, then use equipment to turn and move the soil.

I refuse to say bad things about smarties because at one time they led people like Tom into a huge leap forward...they deserve respect.

But given the choice beds, mounds, trenches are easier to use imo. I have them but that partner has ask me not to show them. Eventually I will talk this partner into no pots

Last but not least, Sfv og

Candyland clone,

Beds will be reammended with a simple 5 part recipe plus some extra organic goodies like insect frass, crab meal, neem seed meal, and azomite. Replanting in a few weeks and firing up 7 1k MHs(20/4 to combat the cold) to get em vegging fast for a productive full season.

So, I got me some pepzyme c, some micro 5k, pz 1k and I should be getting the sea crop shortly.

My questions: should I foliar and do root drenches with the pepzyme or should I just use it for drenches? Also, can I combine the pz 1k with pepzyme or should they be used separately? Finally, what mix rate should I be using with the pepzyme? Will 1 tbsp per gallon of water be enough or is that too much?

Thanks in advance.

HB.

 

[milkyjoe]

If you call tainio they recommend 1/8 tsp of m5000 alternated every other week with pz1000 and 5 drops per gallon pepzyme for foliar.

For root drenches you can use pepzyme at the same rate. Technically you would use biogenesis or spectrum for soil but micro 5000 will work. They say on pep 1 part pep in 4000 parts water on their site.

I have found slightly higher rates to be beneficial but would hate to hurt someone else's grow.

Edit...if you have soil above 5% k base cation saturation I would not use pz 1000. It is high k for ripening fruit

 

[TheRealHash]

So does that mean you have no experience with it?

I'm sorry bro I didn't mean to make you angry, I'm just saying IMO it's the last thing you should be using.

I have found some other benefits to smartpots:

less soil-based insects and/or root diseases and pretty much gopher proof if you use hardware cloth (tight-mess wire) on the bottoms. I do believe they run hotter being above ground and they perhaps need watering more frequently, especially the smaller you go with the size of the pot. In the ground or row trenches have other benefits, like an endless battery size if the soil is great, so I guess it depends on other factors as well like location, equipment available, pests and critters endemic to your area, et al.

Biological Advantage

Biological Advantage

Here is one month of growth with the Biological Advantage on the Farmer's Dream.

The products are the best I have used on the farm in a long time.

There is an immediate result upon application. Both visually - in the phototropism , and on field meters.

Sap testing will begin this week.
