THE TRAINWRECK. Brought to you by thcfarrmer…..

Char is awesome while we talk mediums. I added it to my outdo last year. I cheated and had it soak in nutrition solution first. I tried a couple of pots with coco but I didn't really get the point. It's part of my soil now. It's airy but you can get soil...

I tried a couple of pots with coco but I didn't really get the point. It's part of my soil now. It's airy but you can get soil as airy or at least very close, no? But it depends on your grow style. Indoors I can understand people want the precision of an inert medium.

Good morning from Portugal ☁️

Did you notice an increase in terpenes after you started using the biochar? It’s basically like a huge hotel for bacteria colonies. Which they are starting to realize that wider biodiversity in the rhizosphere the wider range of terpenes detected.

Can't say, but there are so many factors outdoors, last year was brutally hot too and I can't run any side by side tests. Weed was good under the circumstances.
But from a technical standpoint char holds nutrition very well.

That's actually how your supposed to use bio char. Soak it in a nute solution first is most beneficial for the soil. My garden is full of it from burning brush, and cleanings from my BBQ smokers.

Lump hardwood charcoal for your grill is a cheap way to obtain bio char. There's plenty of fines in the bottom of each bag, or bust up the pieces with a hammer and soak it in a tea.

This reminds me of those ladies who come out of the bathroom wearing a sexy thong asking if she looks fat.

Your white tips don't have anything to do with THC or potency and not really related to nutrition. Either it's a smidge on the dry side in your tent, or the lights are just the perfect amount of intensity where the tips are noticably kissed but nothing burnt. With the amount of bud stacking tight in there, you're smart to keep it on the dry side anyway to avoid moisture issues. If you don't have an inkling what you're really doing, then you are doing a damn good job Forrest Gumping your way through it.

Back where I come from I put it in the compost and let is soak there for the composting period, up to two years. They find fertile char fron thousands of years ago in the Amazon. Pretty awesome stuff actually. But back in that day they did it pretty destructively by burning down forrest. Back when I went to school they said that's how the Inka empire fell and I never read a book again, lol.

Yup, the ash also. Ash is the easier and immediate release way to get good concentrations of potassium out of banana peel and orange peel. They take too long to compost. But when burnt the ash has immediate 0-1-20 to 30 NPK.

Don't presoak/pre charge just your biochar. Do the whole medium. After you add all your fru fru to the soil - your fresh perlite, biochar, pumice, bark fines if you use em, plus the nute charge/recharge mix, activate it with a supporting nute watering... A mild liquid NPK that fully supports and completes the ratio in the dirt, with some seaweed extract, molasses, gypsum, epsom and humic/fulvic with a safe EC and balanced pH and let it sit for 24-48 hours to fully charge the soil with nutrients and microbes before dropping a plant into it. Since I started doing this, new soil has performed better, and reusing it with a proper recharge can make it even better than new.
