I wish that was how it went. Not root rot, not wild ph fluctuations, just fast growth. Thats how the hempies are, I water every 3 days with them.
Coconut water also. But is growth boost for the top of plant.
Willow water.(close to being free. )
"There are two substances found in the willow tree that enhance root growth, Salicylic acid and Indolebutyric acid"
-Google
SomeKind like a steriod.
When i make compost tea’s. I load the bucket with willow. After that I add coconut water…after that…
Natural sugars…(not table top sugar( processed))…
Think plant as a doughnut, and your the chef…
What Makes doughnut sweet and sticky?
I give mine lot of sugar.
Blackstrap Molasses
Raw Honey
Fruits in the compost.
I know what would happen to me if I just hung out and ate doughnut all day .
Still to share
.
It took a year or two to “dail” in. It took some money to turn that dail. But when I found combination for lock. Rockets, in flight.
Find a nutrient that doesn’t need ph adjust
Keep ph at 6.0 - 6.5
Keep temperatures low 65° - 70°
The smaller the bubbles are better, and more bubbles better. Forced induction.

I had a good friend growing up who had great advice, “no matter how good you are, someone can pay 10 smarter people to do better than you.”

So true.
I’m pretty good at it. But I look to improve always. What post is about.i tried many things. Like some. Don’t like others. If plant gets better, I keep. Bat guano. I tried, liked and use.
Willow water. All natural. No manmade chemicals…bubble the leaves and green stems all day for bigger healthier roots. Which leads to bigger healthier plant. Why would you no use them?. Let’s say plant is growing wild. Next to willow tree. You would say no?

Well, I have 2 60 foot tall willows in my backyard…
You are ready to improve then. Take only green fresh growth. Cut to 4-6 " long. Put bucket full of cutting, and water and bubler. 24 hrs. You just made a plant steriod. Coconut water is good to go from grocery store.no bubbling. Just add to willow water. You now made two steroids for plants.
Edit
Coconut water is very beneficial for us people. Trace Minerals , electrolytes. Sugars. It has everything your nutrient doesn’t.

What does comfrey do? I know I heard it. Never got to it. Should i ?
Its an accumulater, so it concentrate trace minerals. Let it compost in a bucket of water for about a month. Its supposed to smell horrid, but be amazing for plants.
I’ve also been playing with SST’s. I like adding a handful of malted rye to a gallon of water and letting it soak overnight, then using that in my veg water. Really gives them a spring, especially when to small for roots still.

Oh k.
" Comfrey roots and leaves contain allantoin, a substance that helps new skin cells grow, along with other substances that reduce inflammation and keep skin healthy. Comfrey ointments have been used to heal bruises as well as pulled muscles and ligaments, fractures, sprains, strains, and osteoarthritis. "

Willows are unusually high in auxins, so the willow water tells your plants there’s plenty of O2, to support a bunch of new root growth.
Coconut water is high in cytokinins, same as a lot of different kelps. It tells the plant there’s plenty of resources to sustain a whole bunch of new branches.
@anon93244739 A lot of the hormones in SSTs degrade while kiln drying the grains. You might see a boost in its effectiveness by germinating the same grains yourself and blending them up fresh.
