Hey no reason to try to throw rocks and offend. I’m trying to share information, not make it a pissing match calling each other shit. when u brush off and disregard the facts I’m trying to share with u because I’m criticizing the methods that I’ve been there and done that with and trying to point out the flaws I’ve already dealt with and try to discredit the method out of ignorance then ya I am gonna remind u of my experience. I’ve studied soil biology, I’ve been on bulk farms for years and I am a pro personal grower and why my grows are turn key with many that do take my advice cuz my results speak for itself
It’s all about perpetuating GOOD information and recipes, pushing promix ain’t it and speaks to ur experience because it seems thats where we all start. Fast forward 15 years and the experience makes u learn what’s better and why its better and trying to explain that to u
Not sure which single thread u looked at but there’s my “going bananas grow”, “seed making time for jack herer and white rhino” , “Fem autoflower breeding project”, “here I grow again, back at it” and my most recent " greenhouse 2.0 unfinished greenhouse" or search my handle in the “who grows purple buds” thread. I’ve got a pretty good trail of pics and the success I have in my gardens and know I took plenty of budshots of the goodies
Rev is a very intelligent grower and I’ve read and followed alot of his stuff, even to this day the tea recipes I use are his as a backbone with a few beneficial twists of my own
Well I can’t say whats in ur compost pile as far as bugs but I’ve been a fan of the mushroom compost from home Depot for $2.50 a bag and never once dealt with a bug issue from it. It’s a good thing they store em outside cuz it keeps the medium pasteurized( temps between 140-180) and kills any bug eggs that may be in it.
Def depends on the amendment but typically most amendments take 3-4 weeks to become bioavailable to the plant, some like calcium can take longer but typically it’s all spent by the end of the grow or u got harsh buds cuz it kept feeding storing nutrients till the end, especially with salt buildups. But since it’s not decomposing a compost I just don’t see how it gets better each year. If u start with no nutrition and it breaks down it still has no nutrition…
Humus is essentially Forrest floor, peat doesn’t grow on forest floors it grows in bogs. Peat doesn’t turn into dead leaves and debris of plant material that dropped and make up the forest floor, it’s still nutritionless peat, even decomposed… That why I liked the Scotts humus and manure cuz it was made from forest floor with some chicken shit added in
I do teas as my primary source of feeding every 10 days to keep things charged and keep my vigor strong, but I def don’t call it a water only soil since there is active feedings not just throwing water on it, that being said I’ve used the same soil on my most recent “Fem autoflower breeding run by azseaindoin420” and that entire 3 months grow start to finish was literally water only, didn’t top dress, didn’t brew a single tea, literally just watered once or twice a week and that’s it start to finish. That’s a true water only super soil.
It’s all about sharing GOOD information on this site to make better growers and help ppl with success, perpetuating promix with a meal package may work, but there’s a LOT of better methods out there that are truely organic without questionable stuff like a polymer or slow release fertilizer thrown in, just trying to help u realize that
