Blue Planet and I don't really know but this is how at least I think of it. I grew in coco and fed the plants. Now in soil I want to feed the soil. It gets depleted over time by the plant so I give it seaweed and molasses to help the microbes be happy. Then I will top dress and give them a tea, before flip and after flip to flower. I believe this tells the soil "Ok now you have rocked the Kazbah for me thus far but now I need a little extra OOMFH for the flower stage and home stretch
But what happens if Sharif don't like it?🤪

thanks for posting. so you make a tea with the kelp? i see you said something about brewing a tea. is that the same thing here. or something else?
Negative. since old enough to feed, I alternated between just watering, and a combo of molasses and slightly increasing BP Seaweed til 10ml/gal. Then a week before I flip to flower I will use 1 packet of the Tea below. Then I will give the tea again 1 week after flower. I bought air stones and a pump to brew it for 24hr cause you need to for best results it says

Yeah I am sure you will have a great harvest without but also doubt that giving a compost Tea just once nulifies the benefits. Also bet some do it farther into flower than a week before and a week after. I bet if search "Compost Tea" we may get some sweet old threads with great info about it.

Sunday Sunday Sunday! Hope all yall fine folks are well.

Buttercup(GRCxBBC) is 57 and she got her 1st haircut today. She is 17 days older than the 3 others so if it slows her down at all that would be great.

All girls have been topped twice. The Mimosa x Orange Punch has grown past even Buttercup. I have begun some intermediate calisthenics with her and she is a 10+ in every regard. Blueberry is behind her and Blue Sunset Sherbet albeit the slowest in every way, keeps winking at me with leaves(WIDE SPIKEY) that none of them have. She sort of says in a yell yet a whisper "HEY pssst shhhh the best of things come to those who wait. Trusttt in the process and you will be rewarded...."

♥ to the Farm and keep easy

They work very well for LST. I'm too cheap so I just used paper clips I had laying around.
Yeah DIY ftw always but they are kinda nice. My neighbor 3d printed some for me but they seemed a bit bulky and too angled imo. Friend from Havasu sent me some he 3d printed and they are pretty close to perfect. I get all hyped to use them and then end up using 1 or 2 to slow down some meth heads and that's it

Part of the reason I go the paper clip route. I can bend it to any length or shape I want.

Where in the AZ are you? I have a few friends that live in Satans Kitchen. One lives in Phoenix while another lives in Mesa and another lives in Tucson.

Yeah good thinking. I'm in Scottsdale so Phoenix and Mesa are about the same distance. Solid state to live imo though. I'm from IL but have also lived in CO. AZ been home since '13 though. Lived here 92-03 as well
