Living soil/ph question
Mathewstarted grow question 5y ago
How important is the ph of the runoff water in living super-soil with cover crops? I think I am at the halfway point of flowering and I think she looks great! Yet the aerated tea I give her goes in at a ph of 5.4 and the runoff comes out at a ph of 7.2-7.6! What am I missing?

Seems a slight flush might be of benefits to you thoe you would need to add nutes after to keep your plants feed okay but no harm in flushing your soil I've done mine twice once during pre flower and before main flower keep any problems at bay

Moldy molasses okay for compost tea/compost tea storageThe new container of molasses I bought has mold growing in it. For baking that would be a throw away, but I am curious if that is still usable for making teas. I have seen some soils that add tricoderma and others, just curious? Also can a tea be stored for a week after brewing?Week 9

Has anyone tried Ethephon containing products such as Florel?I am gonna spray my hermies with this stuff that has Ethephon in it. Hopefully itll deter my herms from making pollen. I was wondering if anyone on here has it and if its effective for them? I'm only gonna try one or two at a time in case it hurts them. They're just herms anyways4y ago

Roots white hairinessBenefic or malefic ?
-Root affected look whiter
-We don't use any organic nutrient, but black carpet used in our last soil-coco session.
H2O2 and/or water submersion look to "kill" it, but if it's a benefic "mold", we can let them aliveWeek 6

How should I harvest?So we are 2 weeks out from harvest, but I’m wondering would it be more efficient to defoliate fan leaves and hang the plant upside down, or to cut it into multiple sections? At week 22 I believe in our diary we have more pictures.Other. Harvest - Drying
