My Soil Mix Tidied Up and Moved For More Responce
- Thread starter W89
- Start date
hi al-k-mist not sure if this is where you intended to put this^^^
those guys advocate the 'ahimsa' brand of NSM {available from kisorganics} DTE is what i have been using and it defeats fungus gnats and will kill spider mites in a foliar spray {during lights out} perhaps lab analysis would show the ahimsa to be preferable IDK but the DTE is quite aromatic
i guess ahimsa is preferable
i have been struggling to find a reasonable resource for crab meal myself -again; kisorganics has it {shipping is what has me at bay}

Very nice W. As a fellow recent-convert I share your awe in plant health achieved with "soil" and various composts, extracts, ACT's and shits. And whatnots. Etc... Anyhow, it's pretty sweet and fun.

DTE - conventionally grown & processed in China
Ahimsa - organically grown & processed in India
Ahimsa has 3x the levels of pesticide and fungicide compounds and that's from their own filings with EPA
DTE distributes the meal from the Dyna-Grow neem oil operation. Dyna-Grow Neem oil is also 1/3 on the compound levels of Ahimsa neem and even the karanja oil
Ahimsa cost less for the meal as well as the oil. In the case of the oil it's not even close

Cootz are you saying that I could just use my ahimsa neem meal in a botanical tea instead of "neem oil" I have the Dyna gro neem oil too.... they send me a freebie along with protekt but I havent use it yet been spaying once a week with neem botanical tea just as a preventative..

Sorry but this will have to be in US weights & measures - dumb-ass Americans anyway! LOL
5 gallons of water
1/2 cup kelp meal & 1/2 cup of neem meal. Bubble for a couple of days, strain & drain. Apply full strength to the soil and drench the plants form top to bottom. Kelp contains compounds which inhibit insect eggs from hatching.
This is a good maintenance recipe - if you have an outbreak I would use neem oil.

nice garden W89, small but very nice. i bet you can't wait to get to a bigger spot! that wardrobe is a sweet little closet for clones, i think i'm gonna convert mine!
Cool coot I was using a mix of 2 tsp each of kelp neem and alfalfa per 6 liters and bubbling for 36 hours.. maybe that mix can be upped now they are bigger.. will check how many tsp in a cup to double check
Yeah small but well formed lol.. needs must and havent got anywhere to grow with more space atm! soon enough I will be back at it,but for personal reasons I am not wanting pocket fulls of cash either too temping to spend on things I shouldnt be
1 cup = 8 ounces = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons
wait!
how does that translates to 'handfuls'
?????????????????????????????????????????????????
depends how big ya hands are i guess LOL
Thanks mate, oh and that rock dusts paper was very informative wasnt it great find there fella

thanks for bringing me up to speed here
so; essentially - the DTE is 'suitable for organic application' BUT it isnt organically sourced
ahimsa lights up ALL the indicators then
w89 i have used neem seed meal {DTE} in water to foliar {never even seen the oil}
i put something like a tsp/cup of water stirred it; let it sit over night; stir it then strain and dilut that about 4 to 1 in the spray bottle w/ some aloe and a couple drops of eucalyptus oil
this mixture has set plants back from spraying during lights on {though @ the time i didnt know why}
what rock dust paper?
