What can I say this thunder fuck is so smooth to smoke, I just can't stop growing it! I am in uncharted waters here because I've gone full organic no till. This will be my first time using grassroots living soil pots and first time using this brand new soil mix. Also to help with costs I decided to make a 5 gal tea reactor, to grow out the EM1 which will save me about 75% on all microbe products, and also save on feralization when used in conjunction with foliar sprays. Wish me luck!
Keifer brewed out for 72 hours for the b complex viatmins and all the microbes. Did you know that your gut flora. I.e your gut bacteria is generally the same as the soil microbes. Anyway microbes are making these plants grow so fast.

earth alive - Soil Activator brewed out for 72 hours 528.344 mll
found a new soil bacteria product I thought I'd try out. it only contains 3 of the most prevalent bacteria found everywhere in nature. I took the min dose 2.5mg and brewed it out for 3 days with 30ml per gallon molasses. It all about the microbes.
well growth has exploded since the application of the soil activator last week. Also concentrated fish shit from my fish tank system was also applied liberally. Looks like they will be ready about 2 weeks early thanks to fast growth, great lights and the Gas Lantern lighting technique.
Hi Cannafam, its all about the microbes! Brewed a tea for 24hrs, of the soil activator 2.6g, fresh organic kefir 100g, EM1 4ml, aquaponics microbes (fresh semi solid fish waste) 100g. and molasses at a rate of 20g per gal. or 5g per Litre. Once brewed add yucca at a rate of 1ml per gal, then use as a foliar spray and root drench. Just thinking I should have added some worm castings to the mix as well. That's next for next week I guess.
It's all about the bacteria! Took the EM1, fish shit, kefir, worm castings, soil activator, ground malted barley, fine ground egg shells (uncooked), fine ground shrimp shells (uncooked) and molasses and brewed it out as a tea for 36 hours until it was bubbling. This one I'm calling the Ultimate microbe bomb. I applied this to the ladies after I moved them to the flowering tent and boy have they exploded in Growth of just over 2" in one Gas Lantern Day. Will flop them to flower at some point in the coming days.
Amending with bloom top dressing because flopping this one to flower. Over the transition, I will amend with some more bloom mix and some rock phosphate and Power Bloom from Gaia Green. Will also be doing a brand new banana tea recipe so stay tuned folks.
Nice little stretch, did a bit of a defloiation to help with airflow and light penetration but I like to leave as many leaves on the plant as possible because the plant will use those leaves as batteries when it comes to mid to late flower. And its all about the microbes! Just been giving microbe bombs every week, once a week.
well we are through the stretch and fully into the flower now. They look really nice, I hope I have enough P and K in the soil, I may need a Banana tea halfway through but only time will tell.
Well ladies and gentlemen XG here! back with another week of the pot patch 2023. As you can see here these girls are now in full flower. Just setting up all the parameters for a great grow. Just feed the microbes and the microbes will take care of the plant.
amended so there is enough for the plant to finish flowering. After the 3rd week they are really perking up and getting that fat structure on the buds. Starting to smell very danky. Can't wait to taste this one under these new grow conditions.
Well this thunder fuck is just chugging along getting nice and frosty this time around so I seem to be doing things better with this strain this time around.
well this smooth smoke is now coming to an end and I still have plenty from last time, so I wont be growing this one again for a little while, unless someone asks for the smoothest Ive ever smoked. In the home stretch.
just getting to the end here, which is good because i seem to have a breakout of TSM. Looks like I am going to have to clean the tent with a high mix peroxide and wash the netting. oh well almost done and the weed smells so good. 1 week left
well this littler creeper weed is the smoothest i have ever tasted, this pheno expressed as a hint of citrus and very smooth very white ash. Nice and relaxing couch lock.
@XperencdGmanXG, I can't remember any being pine I'm remembering mostly chocolate strains with fruity something in it.
There is a breeder Sam** it smelled like a chocolate covered banana. I can't remember the whole name of the breeder it's Sam or Samantha something
@XperencdGmanXG, this is a great strain I've grown it from a few different breeders over the years 😀 I am about to start one from ams , I hope it's a good one
Agreed it’s all in the microbes. Have you ever tried Recharge? Not sure it’s ‘allowed’ in Canada under CFIA. Their recipe has kelp, Leonardite (for humic acids), molasses and then three types of microbes. I’ve got dried molasses, kelp, and Humalite (the freshwater mineral version of Leonardite) so I was going to make something like that up. Growing at a smaller scale again this year (partners selling their farm) and I’ve got enough leftover stuff for my small plant suburban grow this summer.
@XperencdGmanXG, hey there. Yeah, I use malted barley which is cool cuz one of my clients is a malting plant so I can freely score 5 gallon pails worth. I use it as a top dressing, and have seen use of only 1/3 cup recommended so I just throw a small handful on periodically near the start of flowering. Not ground up but you could do that too. Idea is from Clackamas Coot.
As for Humalite, check out Black Earth Products. Alberta is the only place in the world where they mine this stuff apparently. I bought a big bag for only 40 bucks so it can be pretty cheap. Or you can buy in a drum of alkaline water from a cannabis nutrient supplier for about 1400 bucks. Most egregious cannabis nute pricing scam I’ve seen, but I’m sure there are others just as bad.
@Northern_Ent, i can get recharge products through a B.C. reseller. but I prefer sourcing my own stuff, free if possible. have not tried Leonardite yet but great suggestion of a carbon based dry humic acid, to use as an amendment., ive been looking for that. Have you tried malted barley? Supposed to have all kinds of good stuff for plants in it, bacteria, fungal, yeasts, growth hormones and plant activator hormones. they say use fresh ground as it has the most microbes.
@XperencdGmanXG, Aint that the truth. Our full feed recipe is built around a organic base & is a hybrid organic / synthetic feed. We will be teaching the entire recipe in the next tutorial series after this one we are on now. It involves NPK RAW Microbes, Amino acids, Enzymes & Cane mol. Then using Gaia green amendments in the soil & brewing tea's once a week to re-inoculate the substrate as the synthetic element knocks it back a bit.
Your plants are just amazing 💪👍🚀
I see you like to resource your own nutrients but are buying micro life. Just wondering if you have heard of L.A.B.S. it's made using rice water, milk and time. I have two recipes for making it. If you can private message me an email or Instagram I can give it to you if you are interested or if you Google it that is where I got it. I haven't made any yet but definitely want to once life slows a bit 😆 A buddy of mine makes it and says he'll never spend another dollar on store bought microbes, he was using the Fish Shit before he started making it
@Cyrusdavirus, Thanks for the compliment. yes just waiting for spring so I can do some IMO collections. then going to start messing around with making IMO1 2 3 etc... Yeah when you are in the city growing in an apt. its difficult if not impossible to collect your own IMO. So It's nice to find cheap alternatives. We always have kefir in the house because we love to eat it. I have malted barley because I make my own beer. I've only ever bought the soil activator and the stepwell em1. i use 2.5mg of em1 so a bottle last me a very very long time.
