Making your own Crab Meal/Crustacean Meal
Al - Hassan replied to 420SA's topic in Organic Growing - Growing in soil
Frass is not available commercially yet in SA Otherwise you can make it by breeding insects and collecting their waste/frass/castings common insects used are cockroaches or meal worms or black soldier fly larva -
Making your own Crab Meal/Crustacean Meal
Al - Hassan replied to 420SA's topic in Organic Growing - Growing in soil
You need to bake the crustacean meal in high temps otherwise unavailable. Chitin is found in insects also and induces the plant to make chitinase which is an enzyme that breaks down chitin, insect shells. Chitin is also found in insects frass/pooh and is better available. Also been on the crab meal hunt but yea it's tough. Crustacean meal has also good amount of nutrients. Imo the nutrients could be found elsewhere and the chitin used from frass. Phone InJ and ask what they do with their crustacean waste. Restaurants don't separate their waste. -
Mid October is too early they will flower. Mid November like Reaf said or even start of December. Clones are more likely to go to flower than seeds. You could put them out end of this month and they will flower in time before summer is full on.

AACT Actively Aerated Compost Tea
Al - Hassan replied to Al - Hassan's topic in Organic Growing - Growing in soil
You could spray a little on but I would not soak it with the tea. -
A nice helpful poster for deficiency and overdose of nutrients http://ww2.marijuanagrowing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/CannabisPoster4000.jpg

You should pot them up asap. THe coco has no nutrients and they are going to need some now. Decide what grow medium to use. If you have a good soil mix you won't need to apply bottled nutrients. I would suggest growing in soil as it is more forgiving than other mediums and requires less work. If you are going to use bottled nutrients use at half dose while they seedlings.

Looking good bru

Lol another post for entertainment This is a great weekly internet radio show from America. Host Adam Dunn (owner of THSeeds and Hoodlamb) and Mitch S cover loads of great topics and info. You can download the podcasts too. http://adamdunnshow.com/#!home

Autos will flower under 24 hrs of light. They have a sort growth cycle and go straight to flowering regardless of your light cycle. Fems will produce female plants 99% of the time but may or ma not have auto flowering characteristics. So they are different. You can flower them together but the fems will probably out grow the auto and compete for light.

Seedlings I would go half strength. Maybe also only after about a month from when they popped. Then use weekly up till start of flower, you shouldn't use anything in flower. That's why spraying during veg will keep most bugs out and they don't get a chance for survivaI or to breed.
-
You should also spray with a weekly IPM integrated pest management programme. Neem oil is a good one. Or a pyrethrum based product will help against scale.

Lol I was also thinking about bringing some in but I'm too busy. I would go for the Marshydro, have a lot of friends in the US rocking them even for flower and they kick ass. Seen lots of good pics. The rep is a bit hard to get old of though, more of a Skype fan than emails lol Don't know the other brands.

Don't think it's N overdose. Would have more blue green colour and the claw leaf shape. May be some kind of lock out. What's your grow medium , just perlite? Which nutrients you running?

Few led torches or battery ufo types should be enough for veg. Ellies have a nice small solar panel with a few led's for around 750, there is a larger one too. Nice little unit. Should be perfect for veg. lol but then there's the problem of eskoms eratic timetables
