Thanks for the link, I read that one too, but forgot it was in two different places. The stuff looks great!

Bio-Ag added some amino products to their lineup relatively recently. I only have experience using the multi-mino, but I’m going to be adding the calcium+amino and/or the base aminos next round most likely. It’s available on amazon and reasonable on price and the plants definitely love it. The multi-mino is like their TM-7 but uses enzymatically hydrolyzed soy protein to chelate the micros instead of humics. It leaves no residue and dissolves immediately. Great for foliars and drenches.

Just looked at that link- if you can get 5 pounds sub $40 and not have to pay shipping… I’m jealous. I’d scoop that in a second, it’s luxury nitrogen :stuck_out_tongue:

$16 shipping and $2 tax but that’s still only $54 for a few years worth of nitrogen (to me). I am fascinated by that farm supply place, they have everything but most of its in 50 lb bags. Jealous of anyone in Virginia near them who can pickup in person, my local organic farm place isn’t that good. That Ferti brand looks great, the Ferti-Nitro is even cheaper than DtE Agmino as an organic soluble dry nitrogen

I’ll have to look into that, I have had good luck with the Bio-Ag sampler pack I got a few years ago, Cytoplus was my favorite from it. It does sound kind of like I’d be covered by this stuff and my other micros though.

“Derived from non-gmo soy”
:laughing: come on now…

@Mithridate I don’t know what you mean by that. Like are you pro-GMO soy or anti? It seems like that would be important to a lot of organic growers, like anyone certified.

It’s just that 90% of soy is gmo… so to have a mass produced fertilizer made from non gmo soy sounded funny to me…

I’m not pro gmo that’s for sure, but the organic business is a strange one to me :wink:

I think that’s why they specifically say it’s non-GMO, because if anyone doesn’t say that you can assume it is. Anyway, I get it now. And it is strange nowadays with industrial organic stuff, but I’m fascinated by some of the biotech stuff that’s sorta natural but turned up to 11 like enzyme digesters

Gave the ladies a few gallons of compost tea this morning after letting them have a dry down cycle for a few days, they’re already perked right up and looking great a few hours later. Stretch is awesome this time around with only four plants and the proper pruning and defoliation, I love learning new things each time and getting better at them too! Cindy Mix is turning out to be a beast in the back left. I need to get Baudelaire’s opinion but looking at the list of possibilities in the mix, I think this must be a Sweet Tooth or Bubblegum cross with how fat it is compared to the Cinderella in front of it, maybe ESB, but I don’t think it could be a cross to Princess or one of the Durban or Thai strains. Smart Move on the back right is also starting to stretch out after staying very compact until now. Nigerian Sunshine x Apollo is staying compact, looking a lot like the structure on the Blackwater x Apollo, this might just be the dominant short structure from the Apollo. This time I know how much I’m going to need to spread it to keep it from choking itself, and I think yields will be a lot better, with the same quality.

All the seedlings got into dirt last night, they’re under the B-Spec hanging out and thinking about what to do now. Still got 12/12 alive but I have one I’m expecting to lose and one runt to baby along for a while and see if it improves:

Had a nice Friendsgiving dinner on Friday night, my friend came over on Saturday because he forgot, so I fed him pie and leftovers. And then he helped me get the bathtub bottom back in the 4x4 and the plants in and out to hang some lights, wash the saucers, and do a little more bending for training. We hung my Solacure Super B tubes and I’m going to get the timer for them set up tomorrow and the plants adapting to the UV-B.

Still not sure yet how I’m squeezing the QB96s on either side of the 550 with the fluorescent fixtures but I’ll come up with something, I’m sure. And I still need to reattach my Buddies to some sticks and get them in there on the sides, but it’s all coming together for the first flower cycle of the year.

My seedlings are real happy in their new pots with some of the last batch of dirt, same one the flowering plants are in. Got the light turned mid-low and about 10" away, seems to be making them grow quick! It seems to have cooked down and be nicer to the seedlings than when I used it more freshly mixed. Makes me happy that my current dirt bins have a month or two still before I get into them to use, I think they’ll be ready by then with all the turning and now a little leftover AACT too.
