Organic, pro-biotic and organic growing without bottled nutrients


Recommended Posts

Was watching a repeat of landline on my PlexDVR and soldier flies are looking promising for many different applications. Be good to feed half to country with insect protein once the guts are completely suck from the Murray-Darling Basin lol

WTF, we get to eat insects now, lucky for anyone with enough land to not have to, good luck with it hey \

 

probably should stop wasting shit loads of water going into the ocean, bloody sea level might rise a 1/4 a millimeter lol

Has anyone tested flood and drain (or similar -haven’t done this style) vs coco and nutes vs a good organic soil like DNG similar on the same strain through to smoke test after cure?

 

I know the difference between the taste of supermarket tomatoes vs home grown in soil and soil based tastes a lot better.

Some very new research has found that cannabis produces more terpenes in a microbially active soil. They found living soil grown cannabis produces some terpenes via roots specifically for interacting with the microbiome. This shows that plants produce more flavour and aroma grown in living soils where a lot of plant and microbial interactions are happening constantly. I would also imagine that cannabinoid and other secondary metabolite production is increased dramatically when plants are grown in a living soil where they take up any element they need, when they need it, allowing full genetic expression. In hydroponics using synthetic nutrients, the grower has to somehow guess when the plant needs these elements, usually feeding way too much as specified on bottles.

 

Anyway, I'm kicking off some trials soon with organic purple ghost chillies raised from seed... 1 pot for control will be the most expensive organic soil mix I can find from Bunnings. I'll document the whole process. I was going to set up a bottled nutrient and inert media grow as control but would rather not as it's a completely different growing system all together. I'd rather compare readily available potting mixes to show the difference in quality.

Yeah keep us updated don't mind an experimental grow, even with peppers/chillis
