Hey Thanks man,means a lot.I know Ive grown and learned a frigin TON man.Im just applying what Ive read,done,learned by doing and seen others talk about and how I desire that I want my grow to go.and it just kinda goes...lol! feels great to have a good basic understanding of good microbial growth,and how to use and feed them and enhance their behavior with basic amendments such as insect frass..lol. that could in time become a real game changer imo."AFN smoke out"Thanks again there brother Eek,really does mean a lot man.cuz Ive been striving for success in this field for some time now.And I think I finally got a grasp on it.

This mix is way hotter than the original Mix I made from the 5Lb pre mixed packet.I stuck the compost Thermometer in the larger batch.its pretty darn warm..lol.i'll check it tomm. I had to buy a thrid 30+ gallon Tote to store it all in comfy in two 30 gallon totes..lol.and a sturdy 25 gallon for mixing and splitting it indoors.Im guessin bout 120 but dunno. stoked though.Every time I got out I stuck my hand in the tote n am amazed at how well it seems to be cooking.I dont remember it doing this well a few months ago.sooo,cooool..lol

One thing i may have forgotten to mention is that i stuck 8 pounds of crabshell in the original 50 gallons total with a cup of dolomite lime,a lil more actually but not a lot.I just went out today and built up the small 20 gallons of recycled soil n built it to under 30 gallons.its roughly 27-28 er so gallons and I added a little this n that to build what was already there in small portions and now Im gonna water it in with a gallon of medium perlite n a stir n see how the land lays over yonder.So now I have two fully cooking batches of quality soil to bring inside in a couple months in stick under my grow table n pull from that after this grow coming up.so that'll be frigin awesome.ill keep ya'll posted in time.Thanks everyone."AFN smoke out""AFN smoke out""AFN smoke out"

I would like to note since Ive only experienced this once early one with a small batch I made awhile back.I noticed the small batch cooked as good as the larger one but it petered out within a couple days.so I built it bigger n now it should cook fine I hope.if not ill throw another gallon of biochar n mushroom compost n cow compost n hit it with a fat churning Tea.But smaller batches do seem to fizzle out much earlier than I would have thought.anywho,be good all.:Sharing One:

Just a note: I turned my Soil and used a touch of Cal-Mag and Molasses again to let it cook a wee bit better.gawd it smells so lovely too..lol.only half a gallon O water though from da tap.:Sharing One:

I may be eaten alive this winter

Just a note.the last two or three teas i made I kept the dormant mostly dry remain from the cpl and broke it up and folded and flipped it and brushed the top half of the soil n left the moisture the same.uncovered for the day I added it so it could breath a little.and a handful of days later there BE FUZZ n them there Hill man!!That mix is gonna scare the crap outta me this winter man.I keep building it n building it..If i never come back that means I was taken by the THC evil that is me and was eaten by the snatchers lol:roflcry:"Stirring"


:Ohmmm.......:

Just a quick note.Added 1cup Dolomite and a cup O crab and a 1/4cup of barley and 3/4-1 cup steel oats as well as some basmati(1/2 cup) rice pre treated(built microbes) Wheat germ soaked.AWESOME!!also the experiment of harvested mikes will be going halfs with another batch I wanna try it on to see whats what.

Fluffed it was completely to the top.the top bowed some cuz Im gonna let it breath for a day till my small ready sweet tea is ready.

1 gallon well water
1/2 TBspn Vitalabs blackstrap Molasses
10 drops of cal mag
4 seperate type of WP's + an Endo heavy sppectrum
an ounce er so of Big Bloom

And mixed that up and used that as my catalyst to reignite the happy.Already niiice n warm breaking stuff down.

5 LBs EWC
Lime 1/2 cup er so
2TBspn Bonemeal
2/3cup Frass
2.5 TBspn Azomite
1/2cup green sand

Well shes all done now...

Pulled it out again a lil bit ago and mixed in another 5 LB of castings and only saw two small pieces of root at all from all the ones I put in there..LOL!so that was awesome!! So this soil is ready.im gonna add some oats and some bloom foods and let it sit for a few weeks yet but its good to go.treated twice with Lime and other buffering materials of the many weeks of blending and breaking down them roots and mixing it several times throughout too.Thanks for joining me through this.I hope a cpl ppl may have pcked up a thing er three..? be good ya'll.:Hookah:"AFN smoke out""AFN smoke out"

the final step will be testing my PH and adding some Frass and possibly some guano to buffer it lower a little since I think there might be a slight bit of lime in the so I need to blend that in with some frass.but short of that and another 3-6 weeks blend time indoors,it'll be ready to try again.anyhow.L8r everyone.ill most likely let it blend for a while and use it on some fast finishing OD gear I may be getting very soon.
