Tempted to dry just top dressing organic powdered ferts, like happy frog tomato food for veg and bulb and flower for flower.
Using ocean forest soil.
Has any one done this with the same or similar ingredients?
I can't see how top dressing would "kick in" in just a few days. That's not possible.
I have no pics from any past grows and right now not growing...just composting wild herbs/weeds and building my own soil for this winter and next year and to feed worms. Pics might be here and there on some forums elsewhere. The proof is in the pudding so just try it yourself.can u show some pics of these superior plants? please... inspire me.
I already yield less than what most people claim on the net, it would be hard to take a hit in the yield dept.
thanks cascadefarmer
C'mon...you guys know what I was saying.If this is true my town just got hit with 18000+ lightning strikes tonight and this rain water should be gold.
Why not? Part of that depends on what you top dress with. If you top dress with dried whole herbs they need time to break down. If you top dress with dried nutes, say like Fox Farm Peace of Mind 5-5-5, cover with mulch then water in...bam. Also at that layer you'll get nice increase in the microbial population quickly.I can't see how top dressing would "kick in" in just a few days. That's not possible.

Best herb I've ever had was grown by the REv aka Rolanterry, Nomaad's stuff absolutely rocks but most stuff out there is poorly grown IMO/IME.And most all good growers, me included, think their shit is the best. Human nature at work.
Doesn't free up but fixes it. Also during lightning activity small amounts of hydrogen peroxide are created so outdoor plants get a dose of H2O2 during lightning storms. When I was a kid my dad told me about the lightning/N thing and lived in the Northeast with lots of summer storms. I started to watch how the grass responded after a good thunderstorm.rain nutes..... haha, actually that might be true for some plants outside, doesnt lightning free up alot of atmospheric nitrogen?
off topic put couldnt help it.
Nutes don't fall from the sky.
I'd like to see people outdoors just grow with rainwater and any other nutes that fall from the sky...no top dressings, spikes, compost, wormcastings, dry nutes, collecting top soil, adding river sand, teas, peeing on plants, clearing out the cow barn or chicken coop, kitchen scraps, etc. Then grow in that same exact spot for a few years without adding back the excess plant material after trimming waiting for more nutes to rain upon you.
I think many get the point I was trying to make which is the dumping of concentrated nutes on plants mainly via bottles. It doesn't rain, or things drop from the sky, in any where near that concentration. I guess a wild animal could wander buy, crap or pee on your plant...maybe even repeatedly...or maybe even die right there on the spot and fertilize your plant.
Bunch of jokers...lol.

Thx man...at least you understand the points in general I was trying to make. Maybe we could get into nit picky semantic bullshit though in this thread?You make a good point, not too many soils would excel year after year without grower inputs, but I think we want better than what mother nature would have provided, on her own, in that particular spot, don't we? Scrappy
Bunch of jokers...lol.
so what exactly did you mean by that, since you brought up semantics?
Are you just looking to argue? I see the whole point of these threads is to spread knowledge not to start shit. Relax, burn one, were all on the same side here. Your challenge is to disagree without being disagree- able, or to sway using logic, your a smart guy, it's not that hard.....scrappy
