@Silverback_Guerilla, through a friend on FB. I havent found the beans around since, I had been sitting on these beans for almost 3 years before I popped them. I only popped 2 out of the 5 and one is a runt. I have chopped everything but the Ethos OG because none of the trichomes I am seeing are amber, so I suspect easily 1 or 2 more weeks before they will be ready.
@PharmaZ,
I currently have 4 cubic feet of sphagum moss and plan on adding that along with big n chunky perlite , pumice and some rice hulls (rice hulls great for aeration and providing silica). That is my goal to add those into my compost, soil base, and amendments and let cook for month and use. At the moment I bought pre bagged living soil and made a quick batch of super soil lacking amendments, which isnt a big deal since I am growing autos.
I intended to already have my soil cooking , but after more researching I came across a website that was explaining why you shouldnt use certain ingredients, and so I wanted to make sure before I drop 400 dollars that I do not fuck up a big batch. I have made super soil before and had great results with it, but this go around is next level for me as last grow i never even did compost teas, and wow, compost teas really are a must.
@PharmaZ,
So I am currently working on a no till probiotic organic supersoil grow. Now my first grow, I did exactly what you did, I used new soil and took the old batch and put into my garden to be used. At the time I did not have an outdoor compost bin to break it down
Now top dressing and reamending the soil is what people are doing. Not sure if read Teaming with microbes yet, but people are basically taking care of the soil and soil is doing the work for the plants.
The group of people that are doing this claim the soil gets even better with use, they still add fresh compost and top dressing to feed it along with teas.
I am trying a different line up of stuff to ensure I get best results. I am doing Bokashi feeding, compost teas, fermented plant juices, enzyme tea, diy kelp tea. I am also making compost with worms and plan on using that compost to feed the soil.
