Indoor My favourite square meter...

Looks like they took a liking to those cobs, looking really nice over there. That's a pretty tight spacing in the close up pic
Thanks Free Flow, they sure have. When to flip to full power though!?! I'm gonna ask in the right place soon to be sure...

Speaking of the close up, check out the growth...

Day 15 close up is Hoffman confirmed female.

@orrganic Sorry mate , some how I have been missing the alerts , But I am here now . With the soil what a great idea . If you give the soil a light spray of molasses and water it will help fed the microbes , I use barley powder that I make to sprinkle in as well , We have a big Home Brew shop here in Australia that you can get it . https://nationalhomebrew.com.au Now I know what you are doing with it , just sing out if you want more , as I can gather a mixed pile for you . I have also used it for top dressing . :thumbsup:

Not to worry mate :pass:
I'll do that molasses trick first, thanks for the method it sounds great. I used to brew my own beer so I should have some brewing yeast laying about, would that work?.. I'm thinking one bag may even top dress or serve the whole crop.

Thanks for stopping by mate, happy Sunday! :Pass:
 
Yeh I wasn't getting updates till this morning either. Weird.
But they are looking good! Reckon you'll have enough room haha?
 
Well , funny you should mention Brewing yeast , it is something I have been studying at the moment . :thumbsup:

It has been previously demonstrated that dicotyledonous plants perform rhizophagy, a process in which live microbial cells are engulfed by root cells and digested to acquire the nutrients from the microbes. Here we tested the hypothesis that rhizophagy is a mechanism of nutrient acquisition that is not restricted to dicotyledonous plants. We report that the monocotyledonous species sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum x spontaneum), grown in controlled axenic conditions, incorporated yeast cells into root cells. This suggests that rhizophagy is an evolutionarily conserved trait that predates the divergence of dicot and monocot species. To explore the potential relevance and practical application of rhizophagy, we investigated brewers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), a waste product of the brewing industry, for its role as biofertilizer. The addition of live or dead yeast to fertilized soil substantially increased the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) content of roots and shoots of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and young sugarcane plants. Yeast addition to soil also increased the root-to-shoot ratio in both species and induced species-specific morphological changes that included increased tillering in sugarcane and greater shoot biomass in tomato plants. These findings support the notion that brewers' yeast is a cost-effective biofertilizer that improves not only plant nutrition but also plant vigor during the early growth phase. It remains to be established which yeast-derived substances trigger the observed plant growth effects, and how rhizophagy contributes to plant nutrient acquisition.
