Organic, pro-biotic and organic growing without bottled nutrients

[pedro de pacas]

Have got some 100l grow bags? whatever there called, not plastic pots anyway

 

could always put them in there, and leave them inside, corner of the tent, just water and ignore till finished

grow for a month or until its the right structure for inside, then flower them in the 100l things

 

they could get out of hand if they're anything like the sativas of old I used to grow, but we will deal with that when/if it happens

 

usually like to know the answer to a question before I ask it (smartarse)  so i'll have a go

 

Most proper landrace sativas use very little nutrients, and can run on the smell of a oily rag, these two have had very little work on them

so i'm presuming they will make it to the end no problems, with some light teas or a constant living and dying living mulch, or worm poo top dressing, if needed  

 

should be no prob on the Haze, the MB might need a extra feed tho 

 

or if all else fails, some bud-rite and Bass sulfate of potash  

 

 

Fucking love growing sativa;s almost as much as smoking them, will decide where they are going, after they are started, and what the weather does for spring

 

see what DNG reckons hey, been known to be completely wrong before 

[itchybromusic]

100l fabric pot ? would be good 

 

to be honest i didn't really considered land race sativa's nutrient consumption so your prob on the money mate

as you can tell not many sativa's get grown round ear  

 

i def like starting a living mulch first , then chopping it & transplanting a girl into the pot , really good way to inoculate 

the pot with a diverse set of organisms 

 

DNG will give you all the good oil on his soil

Hey, lots of great advice there. Again, all about having enough soil volume for your long season cultivar... no way will your plants come close to their potential in 50L pots outdoors. 100L would be good, however You would grow a monster landrace variety in a 200L pot... it would also be a set and forget kind of deal, you wouldn't have to worry about it drying out so quickly as it would in a 50L pot.  As others mentioned, get a nice topdressing of worm castings with a good mulch layer and perhaps a nice amendment topdress at the halfway point. Landrace cultivars may indeed be able to survive on small nutrient levels or in stressful, poor soil, however their potential I'm sure can be seen when given enough soil volume with thriving microbial life and balanced mineral profile. And forget the budrite and sulfate of potash...

20+ weeks of flowering... you need root space. If not, plants will be stressed and attract pests and disease, very easy to happen when growing for so long and subjected to restricted root space, inadequate moisture levels and insufficient biology to exchange enough nutrients for the large plant energy requirements above the soil. Set yourself up for success and focus on peak plant health... by looking after your soil. Like itchy said, some living mulch will help water retention, fix nitrogen, attract predators and especially feed and attract soil microbes as well as allowing for a strong fungal network to establish... because it will be growing for so long you want to really look after your fungi as it will be solubolising minerals and protecting against disease while building your soil structure. So lots of straw mulch as well... but it will really be a walk in the park with enough soil volume.

Latest batch shows some next level mycelium...

hopefully they'll be in Vic at some stage // hope they haven't been to Vic yet 

i'd like to check it out myself , cause it's free of cause

 

Don't miss these FREE half-day soil seminars in Alstonville, NSW and Gayndah, QLD. LIMITED PLACES!

 

Dear Nutrition Matters Readers,

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to two FREE half-day soil seminars, taking place in Alstonville NSW

on 27th August, 2019, and Gayndah QLD on 17th September, 2019.

Your soil is your greatest asset. It is the essence of your productive potential and profitability. Soil health is also key to

stress-free farming. The common catch cry is, “our soils aren’t what they used to be”. In this fascinating half-day seminar,

internationally acclaimed soil specialist, Graeme Sait, will help you reclaim resilience and profitability on the farm.

Limited seats – registration essential!

Morning Tea provided

Course handout, pen and notepad available for $5

 

Here are some of the lessons shared:

1) You will understand the mechanics of Nutrition Farming® and how your improved management of minerals, microbes and humus can turn around your enterprise.

2) You will discover that humus is the cornerstone of soil fertility. Discover how we lost 2/3 of our humus, and acquire the strategies to rebuild organic matter on your farm.

3) You will recognise the role of mineral balancing in creating disease-resilient soils and crops. Discover how key mineral ratios in the soil, and in plant tissue, can change your cropping outcome.

4) You will learn about the use of specific microbe inoculums to solve problems and boost yield. You will also discover how to support your existing soil life, including earthworms.

5) You will understand why multi-species, cocktail cover crops can be a powerful fertility building tool.
6) You will discover the many benefits of in-field crop monitoring, including leaf analyses. You will also learn how to use hand-held tools like the refractometer, the sap pH meter and K and N meters to provide invaluable instant feedback.
7) You will also learn drought management strategies to improve your resilience amidst increasingly unstable climatic conditions.

To register for either of these two events, please contact Rita at Nutri-Tech Solutions on 07 5472 9900 or rita@nutri-tech.com.au. Our last free event booked out extremely quickly, so book now to reserve your place.

I hope to see some of you there.
