Aloha friends and thumbs back with a little info for you outdoor farmers. Lowes and Home Depot are now stocking and selling easy erectable greenhouses. Price ranges from $89 for a 4×4 flowerhouse to a 6×8 ranging at $200. If you go to the garden section and they are sold out order one if you got the space. This is an affordable way to secure and isolate your plants from predators and those unsavory characters meaning to do harm.

This unit was donated to me by a patient and good friend that had to move back to mainland, Michigan he gonna show you how to grow it! Special thanks to Mike G we will miss you buddy!

Aloha friends and thumbs I am back with a little review on a helpful tool offered for iPhone in the App store. Sunrise Sunset lite(free) or pro($0.99)- a free gps based sunrise & sunset calendar to help all you thumbs track the Sun-moon and your day length. A helpful little tool for all you outside growers, this will help one in knowing when to get those summer plants out and not to mention get those last short season plants out for one last harvest, before that long summer. I personally find this App unbelievably useful, cause if not I have to get on Google and find one. This puts each days specifics right in the palm of my hand. The free version is all one really needs.

Aloha friends back again to talk about OHN or Oriental Herbal Nutrients. What is an OHN? OHN is a fermented herbal extract which is alive with effective indigenous microorganisms beneficial for organic gardens. Why do we use OHN? One can use certain organic materials fermented down and then use them as nutrients and plant antibiotics for many diseases and even used as an organic pesticide. Neem oil is a type of OHN, Pest Out is a garlic based Over the Counter OHN, and I will focus for cannabis on using a garlic and coriander based OHN combination. Now remember OHN should be fed to the soil and used in a follicular feed regimen. There are many recipes, so here are some I find to have good effects. I was once told by a great farmer that a true organic farmer uses anything in ones environment to create what is needed. If you have a good healthy strong plant that is pest & disease resistant, one can adhere some of those characteristics and beneficial indigenous microorganisms through a fermenting process and then administered to create new plant antibiotics and sheens. Not to mention the waste off beneficial microorganisms is an ammoniacal nitrogen, again Root Excelarator. So here are some of the recipes I work with, but feel free to use ingredients that are in your environment. Only use it on 1 plant at first to record plant reactions over a week period to see if you have created a good OHN.

Aloha Friends! Due to so many request from you I am going to post some of my favorite organic compost tea recipes. The cost on making a compost tea is really good and if you have your own worm bins cost gets even better due to recycling, not to mention fresh vermicast is the best living compost. I have a few good recipes: (mix in order to create beneficial environment for myccorhyzea)

Grow Tea: 5 gallon

1/2-1 cup Vermicast or earth worm castings

Definition from wkipedia:

A mycorrhiza (Gk.,: fungus roots[1], pl mycorrhizae, mycorrhizas) is a symbiotic (generally mutualistic, but occasionally weakly pathogenic) association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant.[2]

In a mycorrhizal association, the fungus colonizes the host plants’ roots, either intracellularly as in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), or extracellularly as in ectomycorrhizal fungi. They are an important component of soil life and soil chemistry.

Soil & Organics: I use Mycorhizae in my Hum-tea creating a rooting juice much like Root Accelerator or Hygrozyme for my soil, Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »

Cutting Edge Solutions & Organic tea 3 weeks

Aloha friends I am back with some feedback on Cutting Edge Solutions 6 part. Well I tried first to use CES (plant amp, mag amp, uncle johns blend) additives to GH 3 part during flowering and I found that they do not mix well if the plants are not accustomed to this mix.

Aloha again with a revised article and breakdown of a side by side test of Rooting Powder and Clonex, I also use Olivia’s but not in this experiment. Well I did a 10 day experiment with 3 different strains( Blue Mystic, Vortex, Gods Gift ) and all using 3 different propagation methods( aero-cloner, GH Rapid Rooter plugs in soil, and GH RR plugs in tray and dome ) creating one outstanding result. What I found happening in all my clones is Clonex seems to have created swelling and nubs looking to sprout within 3 days on vortex and showed no results on the other strains in the aero-cloner. Rooting showed nothing, no swelling or browning even. Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »

I usually mix on a tarp. Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »
