Week 6 and 5 ish. I've had to resort to some branch bending, but this goes to show, looks like the younger plant is out performing its sibling. I've learnt much this year regarding keeping a happy root system. Hope I'll be able to apply this next year with a much less is more mentality.

Welcome welcome

Man! this is the winner! Hahaha fridge you champion!

Looking great man! Nice one!

Will definitely check it out man It’s really incredible stuff. So interesting!

Haha you did well! Ya I heard of one or two in China or other similar countries, and this was more recent. Unsettling stuff.

Wow bro that's unbelievable. Thank goodness you got through that, quite a story, thanks for sharing! The military presents and just whole vibe around that situation must have been shit scary!

Very interesting paragraph I found about specific species of mycorrhizal... Teaming with Fungi - Silviculture Reclamation of waste sites Mycorrhizae can take up and isolate toxins—including heavy metals and radioactive elements. According to research, some mycorrhizal fungi bind and isolate radioactive elements, which can remain immobilized within the fungal tissue for years. Consider several studies involving mushrooms related to the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. In 2002, a robot sent inside the destroyed nuclear power plant took samples of fungi growing on the walls. Researchers determined that these fungi used radioactivity as an energy source to break down food and increase growth. Studies have also shown that native deciduous trees and conifers can be inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi such as Gomphidius glutinosus, Craterellus tubaeformis, and Laccaria amethystina, all of which absorb radioactive cesium. Other studies demonstrate the importance of mycorrhizal inoculation in reseeding and reclaiming forested areas damaged by mining operations. The goal is to return the mine site to natural conditions, in part by inoculating the soils with mycorrhizal fungi. Another unbelievable fungi fact... Mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots access the same nutrients in the soil and use the same mechanisms to take up nutrients, but the fungi can also access minerals by growing into rock and dissolving them. This enables the fungi to capture mineral nutrients for the host plant that the plant would never get without the mycorrhizal association.

Good luck with your grow man! Looks like you got everything sorted

Some orders were not honored. A few guys on the forum. Not sure if people still left out of pocket. However I ordered twice and received my stuff. This was all prior so I wouldn’t chance it. But maybe they got their shit together.

I don’t know hey, those boards are strong. There are guys getting coverage with 3 Maybe you can get away with a bathroom extractor if you got a Co2 generator

Ok yes, the consensus it that the bigger the microbiome is, the better. so bigger pots will get bigger results and that’s completely normal, more space for roots. More micro biology etc. etc. but in no way is this system limited to the space it is in. I know pretty decently sized plants coming from 20l pots and running a full life cycle in 20weeks and under, then same pots going again. It all depend on what size of plant you are happy with, if organic can’t do it, then might as well seek alternative methods. But I do believe a perfectly working diversity of micro organisms can deliver the size and the quality. It’s just a matter of ticking the box’s. I have not come close to getting my system working well enough to speak for soil science, but the potential is incredible. So I’ll keep at it. And to build onto your analogy, yes quite the same, however, there are bad guys. And they kill, destroy, and eat roots so a warehouse that’s got a few murderers... but it’s not all bad. Because when these killers nematodes do the deed, they release more useable nutrients. Same goes for much of the species. Their tastes do vary like in the animal kingdom. But it’s all for the resulting organic matter.

The topic is vast and covers everything regarding growing plants. Yes you are correct the fungi is a bit slower at the mark, so focus on fungi foods and additional inoculation is definitely beneficial. You should see great results in 75lt organic pots. I've chatted to many members saying the same about better runs second and third time around. I think there will always be a degree of harm caused to the microbiome, but I do not lose sleep over it. Get the root ball out and transplant. Remaining root system will be used as food. Continue inoculating every 1-2 weeks.

You are quite right. The soil will never be off the bat as good as the soil you find deep in the undisturbed forest somewhere, however, that is to say that you are growing massive old oak trees in potting soil, which you are not and the B:F ratio would be around 1:50 - 1:100. For cannabis a slightly higher amount of Fungi is suitable. Recreating the scenario to the best of your ability is the only thing you are trying to do, Add your colonies and cook your soil for no less than a month. Bacteria and fungi can double in a matter of hours.

Its been a while since I've wanted to start reading this book. I wanted to find a hard copy but found a pdf for free on the web somewhere instead. As things start to quiet down for the year, I have some time to research more and grasp a deeper understanding of the world of the microbes. The only reason I have been dying to read this book is because of this forum, so I started Monday morning and I just finished. This book is probably the most descriptive regarding life in the Rhizosphere. The species of different life can extend into the tens of thousand, but that's not the point. The point is to understand at least vaguely the soil food web, and the phenomenon that occurs when that same soil food web's rules get twisted, these genius fungi... The book starts off by explaining the traditional process followed by all before any information was available regarding the life in the soil, the transactions that take place, and lastly the importance of that life. It then says, you need to understand all the players in the soil food web before you can begin to put together/craft/fix/amend your soils. What stands out in this book for me is the writers acknowledgement that not all microbes were made symbiotic or beneficial for the rootzone, but (big but coming here) these microbes are just as important, as they play a vital role in keeping the balance, a balance that is ever so crucial. The first thoughts that follow any type of research is application, How can I enable this perfect system, if its not already up to this standard. This lead me to believe, it nots so much about what needs to be done, but what needs to be left alone. Creating the perfect environment is A the most important part, without a properly balanced substrate, we have networks/highways/tunnels unable to support proper water/air transfer and most importantly nutrient transfer. Then the diversity of your micro organisms. Luckily we have a plethora of products that can be used to increase these populations, these bacteria and fungi are out doing the ground work, housing organic and mineral matter, employing enzymes to do their bidding (which is actually the plants bidding) and then finally reaching the end of their life cycle somehow and releasing that ever so necessary nutrients. It ends with stating simply that nobody ever fertilized an Old growth Forrest, intricate symbiotic relationships dictated which nutrient is needed and a vastly colonized network of fungi extending far from the rootzone were ready to exchange for exudate. An unbelievable process that seemingly works better with less interference. Starting today with " Teaming with Fungi'' - thanks to all who mentioned the book above.

Do appreciate that

No 1 and 3 are the same plant. They did not go into flowering at the same time. So around half way and a week before on theee other. Nice resin production in this strain, these triches stand tall! Not too sure of the total flowering time of this strain so I’m going to take it as it comes. I’ve got to say both plants boast full flavor citrusy, sweet and sour like zingyess! Onto the next couple...

There was provision made in the new bill or Constitutional ruling, not too sure where I read it. You are allowed to fly with cannabis not exceeding 10g if I remember correctly. Doesn't mean everything will go smoothly if you get found out.

Also haven't ever heard anything to that effect. Kills me when that happens, can understand mixing medium can be expensive if you want to get the perfect consistency on scale. So when bad batches spoil the experience, it’s unfortunate. If you’ve 1 hundred percent singled down to the soil, then I would like to see the pics. I’ve been very interested in this soil for a while. Wanted to give it a go.

Some @Totemic Sure the hype is real on this one, and for good reason. Managed to get 6 of them up and at ’em ... looking forward to these, hope to find some good females.

Wooohoo, nice to have you back bud. Yeah luckily they were girls. Excited to see how they progress

Enjoyed this guide, really good info. People want to make the most out of their growing experience. big up! @Prom with Led’s Versatility is NB ☝

Very well placed in the market, nice and affordable. Keen to see the back Friday special! Anybody currently using these q boards???

Not too sure bro, maybe I’m doing something wrong. As far as I know, just fibrous roots growing from the stem. Soil displacement from watering
