“Occasionally I get a heavy feeder that doesnt like it.”

I am totally OK with this…If the majority of the time, it works as it should…Perhaps the best way for me to know what strain will do well in it for sure, is to always try one plant of whatever I wish to introduce to it…

I never had a problem feeding any strains I have grown, but for some reason…The white Widow strain I had, hated it…Locked up (*with organics), every time I tried running it in the same soil as my other strains…Really sucked too, because I loved smoking Widow…

I forgot to ask you about Autos…Do you know if they only use 12 hrs of light or can you have more hours light on them? Thanks in advance.

He still brings up Synthetics all the time, and is always just itching to drop Dr.Doom bombs in the shop at every chance haha…

You should let him listen to a couple of clackamass coot videos or podcasts maybe he’d have a duh moment and maybe just maybe a light bulb may turn on! Lol

You can run autos up to 20 hours of light, the less they have the slower they grow so you can run at 12 but more is a lot better.

With PM anything that lowers the ph on the surface of the plants leaves will kill the PM, with the milk you’re creating a lactobacillus environment as they will multiply in the milk solution sprayed.

EM-1 is a lactobacillus serum, you can do it without milk, using organic brown rice, organic sugar and pink rock salt. It’s quicker than making it with the milk.

It’s the Korean version. You can also keep topping up the container with a bit more ingredients and water and it just keeps on making more. It only takes a week if you have a nice warm spot, and who doesn’t in a grow room lol. You just have to have a flexible container as you need to remove the oxygen from it. I use consertina, camping water containers, 5 liters, from the dollorama store.

Milk would make sense think of pouring milk into a fish tank see if the fish swim for very long

[Shadey]

I think that might clog their gills up a bit lol.

@Kobracom420

…I make my own EM, so this is just one more cheap, and effective way, to juice up my garden.

The lactobacillus process is very similar and compliments it well. Here is a link with a description of the process and some other ferments I used to make.

ReikoX's Workshop

Now we can change gears a bit and take a look at how I make my own fertilizer. The recipes can be found on theunconventionalfarmer dot com. First you need to capture some lactobacillius bacteria. I used some rice wash from the dinner the night before. It was left out for a few days to collect beneficial bacteria. [image] This was then mixed with milk and allowed to ferment. The lactose in the milk creates an environment suited for the lactobacillius bacteria to propagate. After a week or tw…

Shadey already covered this well:

@Shadey

EM-1 is a lactobacillus serum,

It’s a little more complex than just that, but it is the main ingredient. In fact you can buy it and use it instead of making your own.

@Tinytuttle

maybe he’d have a duh moment

I can’t see this happening haha

@Shadey

You can run autos up to 20 hours of light, the less they have the slower they grow so you can run at 12 but more is a lot better.

Shit…OK. I have only been giving them 12 hrs worth a day…Looks like I need to bring them outside during the day

@Shadey

EM-1 is a lactobacillus serum, you can do it without milk, using organic brown rice, organic sugar and pink rock salt. It’s quicker than making it with the milk.

Do you know if you can purchase this anywhere? I am not sure I have enough time yet, to make it.

@ReikoX

Thanks Reiko…I really appreciate your help Buddy.

@ReikoX

. In fact you can buy it and use it instead of making your own.

Do you know where the best place to do this is? Would Amazon.ca carry it? Thanks in advance…

[ReikoX]

Looks like it.

I am learning lots since I have been here. A productive site, worth spending time in…

Any pic updates it’s been about 10 days since I’v seen some good plant porn of yours! Lol

[Shadey]

Yeah, come on man, stop bogarting the pics, pass them round, let everyone get a go

Haha… I have been very busy in the shop these days…10-12 hour shifts… I did not have any money for a big dehum for the shop…And my RH is spiking with all the fkn rain we have been getting on the North Island, right now.

So that has caused me some grief, even with my W/P resistant strains, it has been slowly creeping. So I thinned the room again, and spread them out the best I can. Then spot sprayed the entire room, only hitting the fan leafs, of plants effected…With Jake’s all natural spray (Best product you can get for W/P…All natural)…

@Shadey

Yeah, come on man, stop bogarting the pics, pass them round, let everyone get a go

I will go in the room tonight, and snap off a couple pics for you guys…I promise not to leave you fine gents hanging…The girls are getting greasy, why wouldn’t you fellas want to get a quick view haha…Any normal man, would…

I hope it dies off quick for you man, just when you don’t need it, another obstacle to overcome, don’t ya just love them

On a lighter note, Tiny said, good job you’re getting the pics, because he was going to send the boys round to straighten you out.

[Kobracom420]

I have always expected the worst to go wrong…That way when it doesn’t…It is a bonus haha…

I caught it as soon as it started rearing itself…Then went on the attack haha…I have a little ways to go yet, and know how fast it can get out of control. I have now done everything I possibly can, to give this garden the best chance at doing well…

Also, about Tiny’s “Boys”…Please don’t do that…I have heard crazy thing about this “Tiny” guy…A mean Hombre’, not to be messed with…

Would you and @Tinytuttle , possibly take a small bribe, to pretend it did not even happen?

K.

[Kobracom420]

@Shadey, @Tinytuttle

I remembered to snap a couple for you guys tonight…

Sorry about the quality, and lighting haha…I am not really set up for photos.

A row of all the Bluetooth Moma’s I had at a buddy’s.

Shop shot

No-Till shots

If anyone who sees this, knows anything about No-Till…Can someone help me with why the girls leaves are clawing? I am thinking the PH may be off in the soil? I will be looking into it tonight, I hope I can figure it out…

Later guys…

[paintedfire420]

That is one beautiful sight to behold!

[Explorer]

Oooo sweet ganja god damn they’re nice. I love that blue tone they’ve got going on

[Tinytuttle]

How wet is your soil? You recently said that there’s been a spike in humidity could you be over watering a bit? What kinda of RH numbers ru you looking at?
I’d maybe go a little longer between waterings those beds with that mass of media will hold more moisture than the rest of the grow more than likely may also want to give the cover crop a trim job to reduce transpiration of those plants as well.
