We have some top notch growers here on ic to learn from.
Yeah I know its bad ass! I wasn't saying you were lacking I was trying to get you to cover crop a bed. Can the room run on cost and profit for on flower cycle with a bed each grow nurse cropping?? I know your growing weed Bobble, just thought some Achillea millefolium as a cover crop to boost essential oils in the cannabis. Yarrow is an excellent companion to herbs.
Take care Bobble. Love the bedroom!

Yes, thank you Bobble. You make it hard to be so humble.
Wait were you talking about that D guy again?
Don't put the CO2 over 900 the whole time.
You mean like this? The soil mites and other arthropods eat the leaves and some other ammendments, their shit feeds the bacteria and fungi that are also breaking down other ammendments, and the worms and protozoa eat the bacteria and spread the nutrients they consumed all around and stuff like that... Whole lot of biology going on in these beds.

Hi bobblehead
Very interesting thread you got here
As I haven't got through all posts in the thread and u might mention that, but do u use fan leaves from plants (as well) to make the tea ?
I have done one, first time <few photos>, and Im very keen on organic product rather than coco or hydr....

Hey, you really should be able to see serious break down of the leaves on the soil surface beginning within 5-7 days. And by this I mean you should see them shrinking up and looking spinach that was left in a bag in the crisper too long...you know how it gets slimy and black and a that dark bruised look to it... the leaves sitting on top of your soil surface should be looking the same...
If this isn't happening in that rapid a time frame, you want to increase your microbial activity...either through adding more beneficials when you replant, watering them in (eh), or by providing another food source specifically for the microbes...
If you haven't included dried molasses in your bed - I'd HIGHLY recommend it - seriously. The difference is truly night and day. It's one of the most beneficial things I've ever added to soil. It really makes all the difference. It's on my list of never grow without again amendments...value it just as much as micronized kelp meal.
Try to find a brand that the molasses is from derived cane rather than beet...and that it is sprayed onto soybean hulls...one of the ways of noticing this is checking the sugar content of the product...don't get ANYTHING that is lower that 40% sugar, it's a much cheaper quality product...

I use about 1/2c per cubic ft - you may want to just want to add 2 tbsp per plant site on your next cycle...
