Definitely very pretty! No arguments there!
I definitely see it being the preferential treatment for the resin heads, just have my doubts when it comes to the best flower smoke. Going to keep searching on it for sure though, always worth exploring and I love to be pleasantly surprised!
Thatās legal industry weed, itās a tired trope that the legal producers are just there to make a buck by selling you garbage. Some of them do Careā¢ and produce good nugs.
everything have pluses and minuses. For me hydro/salt more controllable. But you need enzymes for clean yours tubes and fittings. Motore noise itās hell. Think i know how avoid this.
Hash was my first thought for freeze drying - Iāve been curing my trim & larf then freezing it for the bubble bags. I end up with a few grams of full melt (45 & 73u), more than a few grams of nice hash (160u), and a lot of āgreen kiefā that goes for edibles (220u).
I love well cured weed. Always will. Itās a spectacular experience every time.
But Iām always willing to consider other methods - trying a Malawi cure on an ounce or so this harvest.
Absolutely!
All of the ops I worked for produce the best quality they can.
Iām just saying that my friendās personal garden is miles above his business.
Re: There are some phenomenal strains that donāt add up to a sustainable business, so they donāt make the cut for production. The best of those strains are in the personal garden, and if Iām fortunate enough to be around when he harvests then we get to sample some really rare, fun strains.
You are definitely right there, but this doesnāt just apply to chemical farming, but Organics also. I think the best we can do is find that sweet spot where the plant uses everything we put in the soil, and nothing runs off into the water or gases off into the atmosphere. Too much manure is just as bad as too much urea. My cousin grew at 23 and a half pound plant with three shovelfuls of organic fertilizer, which goes to show that we all often overfeed our plants.
Yeah absolutely. Every situation requires a different solution.
Sustainable. Regenerative. Responsible waste stream management. These are much more important than any classification. There are plenty of situations where those ideas point you towards a salt or a limited targeted use of a pesticide.
Matter is neither created or destroyed, we just move it around and rearrange it. We just need to try and not mess it up too bad.
I use living soil because Iām lazy. Just adding water is less work.
I donāt wanna be dependent on a nute company.
I donāt wanna buy plastic that I donāt need.
I can grow my own fertilizer and add plenty of it that grows in my garden for free.
For me personally thereās the spiritual aspect of honoring and respecting the soil that keeps us alive, that makes all life possible, this planet created us and all this amazing diversity, a nute factory canāt beat that. I donāt wanna feel connected to a company, I wanna feel connected to the living organisms that make my life possible.
ā¦
This whole argument is a make work project.
Neat post. I remember reading that freeze-dried potatoes last more than 25 years. Those Incas were some incredible Farmers with some truly revolutionary ideas.
People keep saying how easy organics is, then describe a needlessly complicated and labor intensive method of growing weed.
I walk in store, hand guy cash, leave with fertilizer. Add to water.
Dudes out here boiling eggshells and talking about using soiled tampons.
Iām being off topic and donāt agree, but damn that is hilarious! 
Living soil = I know exactly whatās inside of, what Iām putting inside my body.
Mostly I think LS is simple to physically do, but the Science behind as to why it works is whatās sounds difficult. Took me a long while to wrap my head around it. 
Yeah, once you understand the basic workings of the soil itās amazing in its simplicity and a whole world of options opens up. Itās crazy that most farmers donāt even understand how they are slowly destroying their soil by failing to add organic matter. That was another huge reason why I wanted to have living soil, didnāt wanna use the same method that is destroying soil all over the planet by using synthetic fertilizer. Fertile farmland is turning into desert because of it.
If the majority of farmers donāt start applying permaculture then weāll have food shortages from failed crops quite soon as the weather is going into extremes. Synthetic fertilizers canāt fix a draught or flood, a well designed permaculture farm can withstand any weather (Geoff Lawtonās Zaytuna farm is a prime example) and creates better and better soil for the generations to come as opposed to depleting it.
Yes. I believe my nutes are semi organic, whatever that means (not organic). But itās quick and convenient and itās worth the $20 a run or whatever it costs.
Even if I were so inclined, which Iām not, the idea of a bucket full of rotting banana peels is not attractive to me.
I donāt get the environmental debate. If itās applied to large scale agribusiness then I agree. Iāll even sign a petition.
Making personal choices because you care about the environment is a persons own decision. I would suggest taking the bus or not eating meat. Those are big things. Saving one plastic bottle? Nope.
You forget about the millions of other people using one plastic bottle. Add that up to a yearā¦ Thereās an island of plastic the size of texas floating in the Atlantic, and itās only growing.
Thereās microplastics in our fruit and vegetables now. Weāre poisoning ourselves.
I tried mixing my own soil for several years. Never really could get it just right. Plants always started out great, and then in flower started going down hill.
Then I tried Fox Farms Ocean Forest with some organic nutes. Same thing.
Then I tried the above with some added salts to try to be a quick fix. Always seemed to get some sort of nutrient lock out or deficiency as I moved through flower.
This run I am trying straight Promix and Jacks 3-2-1. So far the plants love it, are growing fast, and most showing no signs of deficiency. Weāll see how they continue through flower but so far I am liking the Jacks 3-2-1.
Some donāt even flush with it but I think I will use pure water only for the last 10-14 days when that time comes.
I consume very little relative to the average person. I rarely drive. I eat little meat. I have been using the same red nalgene water bottle for almost a decade.
Iām about as low maintenance as they come. Hell, even my growing habits are good for the environment because my drug dealer doesnāt need to drive here.
Iām not going to cry about a bottle.
You are not carbon neutral. And I donāt mean your consumption patterns. I mean you, physically, produce carbon dioxide.
If you are using a smart phone to read this then you indirectly support child slavery. Is that ok with you or do you accept it as necessary for your lifestyle?
End rant.
Itās not that complicated. Organic stuff is reduced to gradually simpler compounds by fungi bacteria enzymes and oxidation. The plant then absorbs those elements.
Fertilizer does the same thing without the unnecessary less efficient intermediary. Thatās why plants grow faster and yield more, better, flowers with salt based fertilizer.
