Uh oh... I heard the word "flush".
Please tell me you're talking about your toilet!

Let them ride...adding anything now well make the smoke harsh. The worms will make foods more available as time goes on.
When their are done see how it goes and go from there.
It they are growing normally and.look healthy don't mess with a good thing.
I just figured if they only got water that they would come out with great taste, yes, but was unsure about yield, because we need 4 oz a plant :/. Literally only water for 5 more weeks? I can't even imagine... God I suck at this.
I wood, well said.
It is tough coming from a constant bottle.feed world to just giving them.only water, but it works.
There are critical points of influence that can help yeilds and plant health but you need the basics first.
A proper water regiment and understanding how this works goes a long way to better yeilds as you get your hands dirty.
Also a foliar regiment help yeilds greatly with out affecting the soil.
Just some thoughts.
Read up on humus, microbes and the root exudes interactions and maybe it will.ahead more light on why you don't have to constantly feed.
Veg time and canopy has.more to do with my yeilds then most things.
Hi everyone.
I want to try my first notill pot soon.
It is a 90l rectangular pot, the one u mix concrete in, and i'm not sure about the placement of the drainage holes. My plan is to fill the pot with 5 cm perlite on the ground and make one drainagehole at this level. The height is about 30 cm so i'm a little worried if this setup could be to wet for the worms?
Second questions
Has anyone experience with sheepwool as mulch. I got a pack of coldwashed/untreated sheepwoll sold as conditioner to add drainage and waterstorage. I think from the npk ratio it should be the same as horn shavings.
Thx willi
Nothing scientific, and harsh is subjective. Most people love the smoothness of my herb but I am my harshest critic. Something i have observed and am try to nail down.
Nothing like a well flushed chem grow as far as harshness goes. Less harsh then that but more then no top-dress after flip.
Again this is all from experience nothing you can find in a book.
I feel it is the excess N from the soluable portion. When nitrates are added it stops the plant from.making complete compounds and affects plant health. Maybe not noticeably but it has some effect.
If you.l can get you soil to cycle.everything then the plant can take.it.in the form it.needs. Hugh Lovel talks about a plant giving up 10 parts of sugar(energy) to turn 1 nitrate into protein N that a plant wants to use. If we let the soil do that conversion then we have more energy for the plant.
Foliars can be done untill at least the second week. The faster a plant is growing going into flowering the better it will produce.
I have run a no till 5 gal 2 cycles with nothing more then a tablespoon of kelp and 5 to 10 wildcrafted dandilion leaves at replant. They still were healthy to the end.
To each his own...this is what works for me
I foliar up to 2 weeks before harvest.
My logic? The leaf surface has the proper microbiology on it because I put it there. Thus most of what I spray has been broken down within the 2 weeks of not spraying. Typically it should be within 3 days.
The active ingredients in neem oil, and essential oils break down within 2-3 days as well.
Although you can go the beneficial leaf welling insect route and have them shitting and dying on your flowers up to the day of harvest. I choose spraying personally.
Ironic though how one is frowned upon and the other is applauded. When the science backs up both. Oh well, now is the time for more people to chime in with little to no experience, and parrot-talk something they read, but have little to no experience in what they are saying.
Come out, come out, wherever you are parrot-growers.
Yes I have coined another term, "parrot-grower" someone who reads studies, reports, google scholar articles, and books obsessively, and recites everything as if they know it for fact, but in actuality they have no first hand experience as to what they speak of.
