muffintop Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) I just wanted to highlight what no-till can do to the people who have doubts. She is on day 82 @bobnudd , suffered a slight calcium deficiency which would of made for the perfect grow otherwise. My old schedule was too hectic, the new one I use was posted a few posts above. I really have neglected this in regards to foliar feeding and top dressing, to see if you can be lazy and still get results, and the man from Del Monte says: "YES" Edited April 25, 2017 by muffintop 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffintop Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Haha, @bobnudd. Do you have a random bird that flew in that you are trying to get rid of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Agreed Catfish. I do less now than i did a year ago, and probably do less in a year. Ultimately i reckon you get a good mix, good castings, the plant and the soil and the stuff above will sort the rest out between them. They've had this thing going on a lot longer than us! At some point it will all go to shit then i'll start doing more again eta - @muffintop...bastards been eating my worms mate!

But as long as you have healthy soil everything else should take care of itself. These were grown with water beginning to end except for the occasional tea when I really couldn't leave them alone. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman O The Bored Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hi All, Great thread, like many i guess i had thought i was being organic, but clearly a long way from it! Looking to go no till, so have started collecting info. One of the threads had a mix for a bug spray, but i can't remember which thread, but the details are below: #2 : The LiquidFor stage of development : If sprayed directly on the plants, up to early flowering. If used indirectly, up to harvest time. Ingredients : 1 liter water, 1 teaspoon natural soap, a half to one teaspoon soybean oil, a quarter to half (indirectly,see below) teaspoon essential oils. I like to use a combination of geranium,lavender,mint,cassia cinnamon bark, cinnamon leaf ( almost the same and cheaper than clove) and thyme(!) oil. Ginger and rosemary oil works well too. Be creative, you can try almost any essential oil, as long as they are high quality, not those synthetic cheap knockoffs. Works against : Pretty much anything. Resistence against certain essential oils is possible, so keep changing them for maximum efficiency. How it works : Different insecticidal essential oils have different mechanisms of action. The soybean oil clogs the trachea of insects and suffocates them.The water evaporates first, leaving behind a coating of soap residue, and the essential oils dissolved into the oil, for a longterm sustained release effect. How to apply : Mix your ingredients. There are basically two ways to apply this, directly & indirectly. Directly would be just as you use any watery insecticide, just spray affected areas. Do this up to early flowering. The other way would be indirectly. Test first if your tent/closet reacts negatively to the stuff, if not then spray the walls of your tent/closet either daily or every two days. The plants don't seem to mind high concentrations of essential oils in the air, insects however very much do (especially spider mites!). You can do this even late in flowering, but keep an eye on the humidity. Another way to indirectly use the solution, is to just fill a small jar with it, stick a rag or tissue paper inside and place the small jar(s) under your affected plant(s). Less messy than the first indirect method, but also less effective. Something I forgot to mention. You have to shake the Liquid everytime before use, it doesn't stay mixed if it stands around. It was interesting as i saw the Chairwoman had some stuff i wondered if i could use: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesehunter Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hello everybody, I am starting first organic grow and need help from you guys. This discussion inspired my to go all organic, I thought it would be easy compared to hydro but I get stuck at every step. Firstly I would like to ask about my list of ingredients that I will be using. Plagron light mix / all mix Guano diffusion Classic’s 3.5-8.5-1 Guano diffusion Bloom 3-6-10 Guano diffusion Lombricompost ( worm castings ) Ecothrive charge Ecothrive biosys xtreme gardening Mykos xtreme gardening Azos Molasses Volcanic rock dust Dolomite lime Distilled water I decided to go with distilled water to avoid chlorine and fluoride but the volcanic rock dust says it has chlorine in it. Is this chlorine going to affect my grow or can you recommend a good rock dust that doesn't have chlorine in it ? Also is there anything missing from my list? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
