Growing with Gl1tch

I even noticed that they sell spores


I get Trichoderma from Alfalfa meal. That also provides a healthy micro dose when added before transition.

Correcting course, would it be worth while to get this and wait on the microbe+ one. Add these spores to water with the Keifer Lacto Yeast PNSB - EM that I make already. Plus use the Microbe Complete in tea brews. :thinking:

Interesting, Might be worth checking out. I guess it’s already time to start planning the next round. Lol, I just noticed BAS is out of 10Lb K2SO4. Guess I’m going for the lifetime supply. It’s only 10 bucks more anyway.

I got the 1 lb and used that over 3 yrs. Then got the 10 lb one about 2.5 yrs ago. Almost bought the 50 and stored in buckets with the other stock I keep on hand. Never know when the next dollar can be spent on a grow.

Edit: found my feed store carries the diamond K brand at cheaper prices

Good call, I bet one of the 4 feed stores around here has it. I don’t mind buying in bulk. It never hurts to have a surplus in case of another fertilizer shortage.

I got 50 lb bags of langbenite for $68 a few yrs ago. Then Covid shortage and now they’re $140+. I get used pool chlorine tablet containers. Them big ones with the sealed Gama lids for bulk amendments. Sittin on 27 4 cft bags of peat moss stored. Got 30 when they were $10 ea. World wide shortages being what they are

I’m F&!@% livid about my peat moss. The damn mice got into it and now it’s all trash. Should have done a better job of storing it. That’s another big part of my move back to organics. The coco route was getting expensive and it was getting harder and harder to find good nutes in bulk for a reasonable price.

Did you ever think about collecting up and pasteurizing it to repackage into totes

I was just thinking about that, better than throwing it away. At least duke got my vengeance for me.

Was gonna try the baking soda and honey corn meal around the coop. A friend and I laughed silly one night at his shed listening to them. They left his place alone for a good bit. I wonder if he still doing it? I’m a recluse.

I hadn’t heard of that one. That’s brilliant though. The mice have gotten too smart for most traps now, and I can’t use poison because I don’t want to poison all the local critters.

Yup, people suck. That’s why I live by myself in the middle of nowhere.

Livin my dream :raised_hands:t3:

They’re attracted to the sweet and gorge. They can fart, we know :rofl: but they can’t burp.

Think he did some bacon fat, Karo to the honey cornbread mix 50:50 with baking soda to make balls.

I will defiantly give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

If it wasn’t for the complete lack of water in any from it would be paradise. I’m thinking of moving on to greener pastures or at least ones that aren’t brown.

Well, one trek to the big city and two near death experiences later I finally got some K2SO4 and a few other items off the wish list from my local(or close as it gets) grow store. I love the place, I’ve been going there for 15+ years and couldn’t think of a bad thing to say if I wanted to, but getting there is getting harder and harder. Anyhoo, I picked off one of the lower popcorn buds from the Clem and finally she is getting close. I see a few trichs just starting to get some orange in them. Shouldn’t be long now. thankfully the forecast has changed and most sources are calling for a warm start to Oct. so I should be golden.

I’m going to hit it tonight. Do you think I should omit the citrus since I hit it a week ago or double down on it? I got Cnut today too.

Yes since micros

K so just a little K, cnut, and yucca for the foliar this time? Probably the last one I’ll get for these girls.

FYI: Don’t use Cnut after wk5. The indols and auxins confuse the plant and can cause hermies

Gotcha thanks for the heads up

Made soap nut extract today. Cooling now, but still have to distill it down.

I saw that a few days ago while I was surfing. I was kinda curious about the soap nuts.

I think I’m cutting the clem n cheese tomorrow morning. After thinking about it I realized with the exception of the torpedos she seems to be leaning much more towards the clementine side. I’m thinking less amber than I usually would to enhance the heady energy of the clem. Plus since it’s not the frostiest I figure I should harvest at peak for best results.
