Rich, check your PMs, please!

Well, let me clarify first. The mentioned stuff is just what I have at home. I don't wanna mix a super umpteen-ingredient soil; I like to keep it simple myself.   But what would YOU guys choose from these?   My mix would look like compost, perlite, rabbit manure, mycorrhizae and the DCM slow...

After 2 years of disappointing results, I’d like to return to the Camp of Happy Growers!   This year I lost lot of overwintered peppers and don’t know the cause. They just suddenly died. So, I thought fck it, I start a new round and although it is very late, I sowed some seeds, bought seedlings...

ROTFL!!!

It's getting interesting! Yep, I was thinking about a top dressing kinda stuff. A high speed blender opens up the cells really well, so for human consumption, over 95% of the total chlorophyll content becomes available.   Of course, I didn't mean thick, smoothie-like concoctions, but the basic...

I'm gonna do my next fish hydro with my Blendtec to cut short the total fermentation time. But this got me thinking: what if the plants would use the phytonutrients made available by high-speed blending?   From grass clippings in rainwater (simple green smoothie) to more advanced concoctions...

Thanks for the responses! Yup, that was clear that the 8.5 is a bit interesting. It's good stuff; I used before but for making AACT - and it produces some wicked froth.   But I'm gonna definitely try it as a growing medium. A couple seedlings into 1/3-1/3-1/3s, another couple into half-halfs...

How would you mix it? Can it go straight or is its pH & salt content way off? I'd like to try it for my Reapers...  

Ahh, the wonderful green of envy...   Here in Hungary, kelp is totally unknown. There's only one source carrying kelp meal (coarse) and there is only one liquid kelp extract available (Wuxal Ascofol). The meal is priced acceptably; USD31 for 5 kg, but the liquid is ridiculous - 19 bucks for a...

It would have been even better if they'd use organic methods.   This was done in a 160 liter pot with ferts vs. Guru's biggest organic giants in a roughly 230 liter air pruning pot...

In my first year of growing I had my best results, without any knowledge.   Now after 5 years, I'm having the worst year of all. I try to experience a lot with different soil mixes, but the desired results are simply not there. The very exact soil which produced nice peppers last year, just...

    Yup, that's why. Guess I have to go to the forestry, or buy from some private source...   Then hopefully I can use my mycorrhizae to inoculate the soil...

Rich, what kind of mulch are you using? Here in Hungary basically all you can get is pine bark mulch...

Wonder what Alum is exactly... Not what it does, and is it beneficial?

Dare to share the composition? PM? I have 15-20 rocotos too and dunno what to do with them really. Pickling? Powdering? Or this sauce? Here in Hungary Rocotos are totally unknown, so we don't have the 2Hot sauce...
