Just finished harvesting Painkiller, lost a few lower buds to bud rot.

Most of the brown in the picture below are small dead flowers and seed pods from a tree close by.

After a quick wash

Painkiller lost a lot of leaves the last few weeks, she will be harvested in the next few days:

Mighty grape,

Still completely liquid

Feel the boveda packs, if your bud were too dry the packs could have released all of its moisture and will be rock hard and wouldn't be able to increase humidity further.

Yip, still planted in may/June last year, although those buds were small and airy.

I literally stand and stare... A whole hour can pass without me even moving... Occasionally I'll swoop in real close and inspect a leaf and then swoop out and resume my stare... 

Personally, I think they like the attention and or my presence

And I definitely agree that growing is addictive, driven by the outcome.

Ja, also don't see any use for indoor. Outdoor, it is nice to be able to harvest a few different varieties to taste while waiting patiently for the photo's

Have only grown a few and an autoflower plant was one of my first plants. What I like about auto's, it's a crash course on cannabis growing.

Above was his reply on fb, you can order through his page.

I asked if it is mainly for non-organic growers as I saw it was a 2 part nutrient:

"
No Sir it organic as its salts Dry powder and granules you just have to follow the instructions mix with water and feed your plants done

I'm fine with 600g dry, don't see anything about concentrates though? Also they are going to need to clarify a bit more. What about plants still in veg/flowering while having 600g stock on hand, will there be a limit on amount of plants growing..

Painkiller is nearing harvest time. I have to add that the Painkiller and Royal Medic which are planted in the ground only recieve about max 5 hours direct sunlight. These has also recieved the least attention of all my plants and haven't had any pest issues so far.

It is recommeded to use a torch and bong, needs higher temperature than a lighter. But yoh, it can make you trip balls. A lot of people recommend a sitter especially if you haven't done hallucinogens before. The feeling can be overwhelming for the mind and body. Would also recommend telling your wife if you should try anything stronger than just the dried leaves.

I've never had a hangover or down afterwards, usually feel more "open minded and clear" afterwards. Had some nice experiences while doing meditation, taking a hit and continuing with my oooohhhhhmmm

Hahahahaa! Interesting stuff. I have never smoked just the leaves, always added the 40x sprinkles on top (bong with a torch) and "hallucinated" quite pleasantly most of the time. I think it is also nice that it is such a short lived high.

My first time was with dried leaf with 40x extract sprinkled on top,I mean it is legal, how strong can it be? It hit me sooo hard almost instantly started sweating, took off all my clothes and felt like someone was pressing on my chest forcing me to lie down, which probably was a good thing.

After that, I knew what to expect and it just got better and better.

Obviously not a recreational drug and have only used it something like 8 times.

@Bakstein420 would be great if you could go have a look and give some feedback.  I Would love to start growing them again!

What step do brewers take to ensure its a bacterial dom or fungal dom tea?

I started reading up on this over the weekend seeing as flowering time is upon us.  This is what Tim Wilson of Microbe Organics had to say:

"

People talk about different recipes and making a fungal tea opposed to a bacterial tea anyway it doesn't really work that way as far as recipe goes. Although you can have some influence with the recipe it's more the timing. So obviously if you want to have straight bacteria in a tea it's going to be in the first probably twelve hours that you want to use it. However if you do have fungi in your compost it's going to be growing at that time as well

...

"

He also compared various brews under the microscope and found that there is not really a noticeable difference in microbial count and diversity when using just compost/worm castings and molasses vs compost/worm castings, molasses, kelp meal, bran, oats, rock phosphate etc, etc.

The above came from Episode 5 of the below podcast. 

https://www.kisorganics.com/pages/podcast

Also going to start reading through the following threads which looks promising, all about teas

https://logicalgardener.org/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=54702d6a37de9ba55a9c6a740f1b45f7

In the video she also mentioned KIS organics and I started listening to the podcasts Thursday, very interesting. In episode 2 they have an interview with Jeff and he talks about his books, will definitely give them a read.

Found this today, aimed at the commercial farmer but very interesting. It's long but had me hooked all the way. All about soil microbes.

@CreX, I collected my LAB serum today and want to incorporate it in my tea. Thinking of only adding it when the tea is finished just before I add it to the soil.

What is your opinion?

I use Environoc with each brew and don't really want the LAB to take over before the other organism populate.

Did I quick web search and seems like artificial light is able to charge solar panels (Don't know how efficient)

So you could possibly get one of these


Which has a day/night sensor, can also add a solar powered airpump and diy it to the day/night sensor of the light?

Loving this thread, think I am hooked, also doing a weekly brew. Need to build myself a vortex brewer as well. Busy making some LAB serum at the moment, looking forward to using it, might also try it out for personal health.

Where are you sourcing your humic acid from and granules or liquid mix?

Yeah, only removed bottom 20cm and some inner foliage of Painkiller.





Mighty Grape is coming along nicely, would have liked her to be a bit bigger by now, she is very hungry and only started feeding her more now



Royal Medic is looking good

Atlantic Bio Ocean (Builders warehouse) seems like a good alternative to Seamungus.

@Mambawana , yeah trying out companion planting. Still need to fill up the spaces with more companions.

I did not want to remove too much foliage at a time, will remove some more this weekend.
