Howdy everyone, And thanks again Underthesun. Your trip sounds like it was a great time! Well two off my three prizes have arrived with the third on the way. This was a great prize for me wanting to change my nute line. The Nectar for the Gods is an impressive line of products and all hand bottled. Scott Ostrander the president of Oregon's Only Organics got back to me in person on sending me a package suited to my needs. I told him that I would prefer quart bottles to start with. Then moving forward I will buy in gallons to keep on hand as needed. So he sent me all this being two of each of the advanced feeding line in quarts to get going before using the whole line, and two other products.

Here is some info on the products he sent me plus there feeding schedule.
medusas-magik-6.jpg



Medusa’s Magic

Medusa’s Magic was originally designed as “Part A” of a three-part nutrient line. To brew Medusa’s Magic, proteins and enzymes are gently extracted from materials, and then suspended in a worm casting tea. Nitrogen in Medusa’s Magic is derived from a protein which will result in a healthier, more natural growth pattern in your plants. The healthier the plant, the more efficient the plant’s natural response to produce its own defense mechanisms against pests and disease.

gaia-mania.jpg

Gaia Mania

Gaia Mania is one of Oregon’s Only’s original products, and was designed to work as a standalone nutrient for home gardeners. This product has been around for many years, under many labels, and has now found its home as Gaia Mania. Gaia Mania is a careful blend of organic materials, enzymatically processed to extract only proteins and humates. This digestion process is the beginning step in the absorption of vitamins, acids and minerals by the plant. Gaia Mania has the ability to feed plants immediately, and is also designed to promote microbial populations in your medium, offering greater protection to plants’ root systems. All of the nitrogen in this product is protein based. This is the healthiest form of nitrogen for plants, promoting strong, healthy growth without a tendency toward elongation as with sodium based nitrates. Plants grow healthiest when they are grown with proteins, organic acids, and calcium based products. Addition of calcium will improve the uptake of Gaia Mania.

zeus-juice.jpg

Zeus Juice

Zeus Juice was “Part C” of our original three part line. It is the catalyst in the line and is an essential part of nutrient absorption without a microbial field. Compounds in Zeus Juice are 100% water soluble and are absorbed immediately, acting as a catalyst to produce accelerated growth and nutrient uptake. With increased metabolic rates, Zeus Juice offers optimal nutrient availability, healthy plant growth, healthy prolific rooting and protection from transplant shock. Zeus Juice can also be used as a germination aid, softening the seed coat and providing nutrients for the first stages of life.

herculean-harvest.jpg

Herculean Harvest

Hercules was known for his strength and power: a perfect name for a product that gives your plants just that. Herculean Harvest increases the availability of calcium and phosphorus to your plants and soil, producing a wide range of benefits to plant health, structure and flavor, contributing to a vigorous soil food web and improving accessibility of nutrients. The active ingredient in bone meal, calcium phosphate, helps to carry all nutrients to the plant, except for nitrogen and potassium. Calcium is essential for supplying plant growth energy in order to sustain life and growth, and promotes solid stems through stronger cell development. Calcium also increases the cation exchange capacity of soils, making nutrients more available to microbial activity and ultimately to the plant. The addition of Herculean Harvest to any nutrient line will increase size, aroma and flavor of the plants’ fruit. It also aides in washing salt from a potting soil or soilless medium, and can be used as part of a soil flush solution.

athenas-aminas.jpg

Athena’s Aminas

Every plant needs certain compounds for growth beyond soil, light, water, and CO2. Athena’s Aminas provides a readily available amino acid source of nitrogen to optimize protein production and allow for maximum growth rates. By adding an amino acid source of nitrogen, you enable your plants to build proteins as quickly as they are able. When using Athena’s Aminas, you can expect to see faster, healthier growth, resulting in bigger, more vigorous plants.

demeters-destiny.jpg

Demeter’s Destiny

Many production problems originate with too much nitrogen and potassium and not enough available calcium and phosphate. Calcium is the “queen-king” of all nutrients, aiding enzymatic action, feeding soil microbes, improving nutrient availability and cell wall integrity, encouraging solid stem growth (vs. hollow in a calcium-deficient situation) and preventing stem breakage. Calcium promotes smooth, sweet, aromatic produce, and generally leads to healthier, more vigorous growth.


















bloom-khaos.jpg

Bloom Khaos

Bloom Khaos is Nectar for the Gods’ patent pending secret weapon for flower production and alleviating hidden hunger. When using Bloom Khaos as a foliar feed, one should notice more flower sites, larger, denser flowers, and superior color, flavor, and aroma. Bloom Khaos improves plant health and vigor while reducing stress at crucial times of the plant’s life cycle, such as: transplanting, flower transition, and prior to taking cuttings. Bloom Khaos works best if used daily as a foliar spray in the early stages of growth and up to a few weeks into flowering. After that, it works well as a water-in additive.




olympus-up.jpg

Olympus Up

Olympus Up is the Nectar for the Gods pH up product. Most gardeners know to adjust the pH of their nutrient solution before use. By using liquid calcium as a pH adjusting component, you will add more calcium to your plants’ cell structure, promoting cell wall integrity. Residual Olympus Up in the soil will increase aeration, promote microbial activity by offering a food source for the soil biota, and contribute to nutrient delivery. Olympus Up is essential when using Herculean Harvest. We recommend using Olympus Up with Herculean Harvest to form an amazing calcium food source for soil microbes. They may also be used together for a more efficient flush, either at the end of your growing cycle, or in new potting medium to stabilize pH and prepare for planting.

Here is what osa 28 sent and also has been very professional. I'm very interested in all three of his products.
DSCN1049

And some info on these three.
OSA★28
OSA★28 Plant Available Silicon (as monosilicic acid) strengthens cell walls, increases nutrient uptake, and helps plants handle all kinds of stresses. Other silicates are not bioavailable and take time+microbes to become plant available. This makes OSA★28 the fastest option for delivering silicon directly into the plant cell walls! Silicon also has a synergy with calcium in building better plant structure. Many growers see increased calcium response when feeding with OSA★28.
Deep6
Deep6 contains high-concentrations of pharma-grade organic acids. These essential carbon-based compounds are processed from single-celled algae, crushed and pre-digested using natural enzymes without heat. Deep6 also contains a time-release carbohydrate complex to continuous feed microbes. This time-release approach assures even a consistent population control.
ColonyX
ColonyX is the most concentrated microbial inoculant in the world that helps build strong roots, protect the rhizosphere and optimize growth media. ColonyX contains billions (10-20 BILLION!!) of diverse microbes per ml of liquid solution. The diversity of hundreds of strains of natural soil microbes--bacteria, fungi and protozoa--guarantees rapid population and productivity of your root zone. ColonyX is homebrewed in-house by our staff Ph.D chemists in the USA with domestically sourced ingredients.
Now just waiting to see what Capulator sent me!:)
 
did I see something about flush? How does one flush with organics?
 
Nice to hear from you GreenHouser, I consider flush or rinse just water only at the finish on the same feeding schedule using drain to waste. Its another game outside in the ground or when making an organic mix to feed the plant through its life and only have to water. I consider those people master farmers that I am not!
 
hey thanks!! Your stuff looks great to me. I just found it odd that an organic mix an there is a flush? I'm going to have to look into that. And how would you flush a outdoor plant in the ground? That seems near impossible. I like looking at different products an it seems your lovin that one. I'm looking for a brand to compare to another. I love doin that., anyway I jus read an thought id ask. Your plants look great, can't wait to see finish!! Good vibes
 
hey I just thought of something! Did u win with that bud for the photo contest?? THAT SHIT WAS PRETTY!!!!! YOU A MONSTER FOR THAT ONE!!!! IF u didn't win u should have!!!

Outdoors we call it leeching. Amounts to the same thing. Not something we would do unless we screwed something up, had the soil too hot, etc.
 
I'm trying to wrap my head around it, do u just flood the shit out of it? Past the drip line, n sorry I'm a dumbass I see he won an that's his prize so CONGRATS ORCA!!! SWEET!!!!

pretty much. instead of 25 gallons of water, maybe some cal-sul watered in with 75 gallons of water helps move nutrients down in the soil. Again, not done usually, only if we have a problem with too much nutes. Yup, we had quite an elect Orcaman convention going that morning!
 
Time to harvest some more cookies! Here is my number 3 pheno platinum cookies x blue doggy dogg 66 days today. I love her colors and aroma!:)

Tuesday was transition day to start using the nectar for the gods, plus the osa line. We also have two more nectar for the gods components coming.

poseidonzyme.jpg



Poseidonzime

Poseidonzime is a liquefied seaweed product rich in organic acids and over 60 naturally occurring major and minor nutrients and amino acids. Kelp is a good natural source of potassium and cytokinins, which promote cell division in root and plant growth, and affect apical dominance, axillary bud growth, and leaf senescence (biological aging). Designed to be a natural chelator, Poseidonzyme helps release previously unavailable nutrients and other substances in the soil for plants to use. Known as one of the best natural plant growth promoters, Poseidonzime reduces plant stress while increasing flower clusters and overall vigor in the plants’ reproduction. Poseidonzime inhibits growth in populations of mites, aphids, whiteflies and root knot nematodes by increasing your plant’s natural ability to fight pests and disease.

tritons-trawl.jpg

Triton’s Trawl

For those gardeners who want the benefit of a liquid bonemeal but have issues with the farming practices of livestock, here is an alternative for them. Rich in calcium from cartilage, Triton is designed to deliver flavor, aroma and color to the finished product. It can be used alone or to enhance the effects of Herculean Harvest.
So long General Organics!:)

Thanks Moto, As far as smell and taste. Her smell and taste are both fruity and earthy. Her high gives you that nice euphoric buzz. Here is her genetics my friend!:)

Connoisseur Genetics - Rainbow Jones
In order to give you the best possible chance of purple plants we have combined our Grandaddy Purple mother with super colourful Casey Jones. Sweet purple candy flavours with hints of diesel and a musky skunk edge. A mouth-watering delight as beautiful to look at as she is to consume. Make sure they are fully ripe and very well flushed to encourage colour to come through.

A good Thursday to everyone, I can't believe it is already mid month. Loving these cooler temps this last week. Great football weather! I'm really putting my wits to the test this football season playing five fantasy leagues. Plus trying to win some money on FanDual. I won a few bucks last year and hoping to do better this season.
Just a couple of images today of the garden. I did plant two of Reefermans Kodiak Gold yesterday so should have some sprouts by the weekend.
