Bubbling up some success and their first flower tea
This is the tea recipe I’m now switching to till mid to end of August
Skipped on the insect frass since I’m out and sub in bonemeal(1-25-0) for the seabird guano since I haven’t picked up any for the season and still have lots of bone meal
Castings are fresh out my red wiggler bin
How much water is that mixed with?
Cheers

I only do 1:1, the wording on the veg recipe for his teas I feel could be interpreted different ways
“These ratios are to brew 1 gallon of tea, which will be diluted Into 2 gallons before use”
To me that can either mean 1:1 for a total of 2 gallons or a 1:2 adding two gallons of water for the dilution, I’ve been doing 1:1 without issues or burn so 🤷
The Rev!!
Is that from his True Living Organics?
I had a bootleg copy of his 1st printing, read it cover to cover repeatedly before I started.

I bootlegged the recipes looking through everyone’s mixes a couple years go trying to adapt to the cali methods I knew from the 300lb farm’s out there but didn’t have their recipes. So understanding a general soil biology and general plant needs I chose revs out of the tlo book over the others cuz his recipes were more of a cleaner and simpler approach, no lime, no neem, and no trace mineral salts all of which are in my opinion what I’ve observed as the typical cause for harsher buds, I’ve adapted a few differences incorporating other beneficial things like live fish microbes and adding aloe and other tweaks with the recipes too so it’s just a backbone of my recipes at this point
Here’s something I found a while ago (and misfiled 
)
Initially, my interest was in the soil recipes. Lately I’ve been fooling around with some basic teas (alfalfa/kelp/molasses) and really haven’t looked into these further… But I sure have learned a lot since then…

Def gonna hold onto that one, I think someone copy and pasted that to the living soil recipes thread the other day
Awesome progress as usual mate, and thanks for sharing those recipes👍
Well woke up in the twilight zone this morning with a series of unfortunate events…so story time shall we?
Starts off with my cell phone not having any service and having to go borrow a neighbors phone to call my provider and get that sorted, finish up that and go out back and 3 of my huskies busted into my chicken coop which they have never done before and it’s a mess of feathers out there and down all 3 of my roosters and a hen, get them kicked out so next is checking on the greenhouse and is 1030 and 102 outside already open the door and Temps felt in excess of 150+ and all my fans and cooler are off, reset the gfci and everything pops back on but swamp cooler is blowing hot, go pop a panel and the pump is done on it. Checked my timer and it appears things popped around 730 so 3 hours they sat in a building heat oven. As a fail safe I let the cooler keep running and hosing down the pads to cool things off and did an emergency soak down for the roots. Since the nearest Lowes is 45 min each direction I got a buddy chilling going out every 15 min to re soak the pads on the cooler while i go grab the new pump in trade I’ll be hooking him up with a half Oz of flower 
damn sorry to hear that AzSea. sounds like you got slapped by the funny fish of misfortune today, all back to back too. at least you caught that electrical issue relatively quickly. maybe your plants were growing too good and this extreme shock will make 'em have to regrow but better. it seems like you’re taking it all in stride, which is good. stay cool and keep lit.
Well fortunately nothing even seems phased out there for being as brutally hot as that blast of heat was, just more like wtf is going on today? It’s not even a full moon or anything logical to blame the shift in energies on
Dam brother. My heart sank reading that post. Truly glad for you they didn’t seem to notice. Good friends to help out is crucial to success. Glad everything is back on track.
Hope the replacement of roosters and hens is painless bro.

Thankfully everything seems ok…don’t want to see the largest piece of virgin rainforest in Arizona get clearcut…at least until it’s mature!
So very true! Dude handled business and walking into the greenhouse getting home to throw in the pump he kept things cool! Heros don’t always wear capes haha
I’ve had those birds for 4 years and most are lucky to see 5 so I don’t completely feel like they were robbed of their years, def will be hitting up the fall chick days at tsc this year, still got 4 hens left but no roosters now so no fertile eggs to incubate out aside from what I already got, might have to give it a shot with em
So I need some advice u guys… its monsoon season out here which means ridiculously high humidity, went out to the greenhouse and noticing mold on the leaves of several plants and know it’s a mix of way to bushy of a greenhouse that I can’t seem to get enough air flow and trapped humidity and things are only getting thicker
Options in my head are extreme defoliations to open stuff up, sacrifice branches reducing yield but allowing more space or just entirely knocking out the 3 center plants or another bright idea if someone has one? Really concerned that is likely to wipe out my whole garden if that shit takes over
@highminwin ur a logical guy, what u think given the info provided
I would deff start defoliating ASAP. try to get rid of anything that rests on each other, overlapping. I know this is a massive undertaking man, feel for you. Have you thought about a foliar of LABs?
What is that, I’m just entering preflower and really big on not spraying chemicals.
I’ve been working on defoliations but some plants are so tall I can’t really get to to the center of the greenhouse that really needs it and the consideration for just wiping out the center 3 to be able to manage each side being able to get a ladder in there
Currently have the door wide open and put another box fan down low and unplugged the water pump on the swamp cooler trying to drop humidity as much as I can but it’s sticky outside too
Lactic Acid Bacteria its the Police in KNF.
I will never suggest you put chemicals on anything if i can help it 
Pretty effective against molds?
i’m with beaglez, defol like a mad man. you show you can grow them hard, so i don’t imagine it’d be hard to bring your plants back strong. what are your three center plants?
can you just move some plants outside your greenhouse for now to let it air out? how are conditions outside, too hot for your plants? are they too big to bring indoors?
maybe go pick up some box fans from home depot or them jet air fans they use for drying carpet?
