Hecnos first steps in organic

[hecno]

@Duckstar I have 2 Mars hydro 192 . Hoping to add another one soon , I am getting about 1 1/2 in [ 40 mm ] growth a day, I am at day 28 with no sign of any problems , Room is at 26 c with 65 to 70 % humidity - I have backed off on the feed this last week as I think they have had a bit to much nitrogen , but no signs of tip burn . I also have a full rang of organic nutrients now on stand by so I am just winging it at the moment . And so far it has been a stress free grow , I have about 300 ltr of soil cooking now with a bit more stuff added and I farmed some wild native worms to add [ which are doing really well ] plus wild mycelium , also growing well . The soil is very much alive .

Now here is a funny yarn for ya . In the photo below you will see a nail in the dirt , I stuck that there about a week after it popped it's head up , then I was waiting for my son to say something , Last week he did ask , now this is where it gets real good as my plants are bigger . Well son it's like this . You have heard of the electromagnetic field around earth , yep dad I have he reply's , ok I say , did you know it is the same with organic dirt , it also has a EMF and the nail helps it meet which in turn helps the roots grow bigger Wow dad you are onto it , will it work for me he says , Nar sorry son only works with organic ,
I love pulling my kids leg . I'll see how long I can con him .

Still catching up, just wanted to say this is awesome! How great is that really, what the hell if your right? Nails for everyone!!!

@hecno I'm happy you took well to organics. The soil looks pretty good, and the plants are happy! My last few trips to the beach yielded zero seaweed, but I still plan on making a liquid batch. Your right about organic being more of a lifestyle. It totally changed how I look at most stuff. Even my wife says I'm a more gentle person. I think that because my son, but he likes to help in the veggie garden, so maybe it's both.

Keep up the labor of love, your doing pretty damn good bud. Subbed and looking forward to more.:smoking:

@Fuggzy Thanks mate , and thank you for the rep . I can't help but look around me , where I live I back onto a Coastal rain forest and see massive trees and nobody feeds them . Part of my learning process was studying how a Rain forest eco system works and scratching around in the dirt . I still sit in the forest and have a smoke and

Oh I wanted to talk about the rotting tree... Decaying wood is a great source of fungi. I have a veggie garden thats was started mainly on composting wood. When I do my ground covers, or make soil, I like to go dig up dome of that wood and add it to the mix. Normally just below the "clutter" layer (leaves, w/e is there) where the soil is moist, I find fungi ridden wood. This pic is last year, this year is look much better. (i'm just stoned and not walking at the moment...)

when I use it, I'll add like 6-8 pieces that size per a 5 gallon pot, and cover it with ~1-2" of soil, then do my ground covers. Which also brings me to the next subject.

If you soil is drying out to fast, you should use a ground cover. In my signature is a bit I wrote that may help you out. There are tons of options, just get creative, and use what nature can provide.
