Anyone have any experience using mighty mustard or rape as a cover crop with cannabis? My concerns would be the possibility the tannins effecting the "beneficial" fungi and/or the worms in my soil. The benefits, could be a carrier of multiple phosphate solubizing microbes.

I got the time and those microbes seam interesting! Prob do that then cut it with more peat and have it tested again. Have coots going too so i really wanna spend time/resources to get this soil perfect & see how they stack against another. I suspect this tailor made soil will have higher terps...

Made 10 cf then split it in half and did a revised coots revised mix in one, and had the other tested. Stuff in the coots mix doing great, bout a week in flower. I'm thinking bout adding 3 cf of peat n 1.5 of red lava rock... maybe some citric acid adjusted waterings and then have er tested...

After a lil research i think i fuked up on the GS. Says on their website to wash the stones then soak them in 6.5 ph water for 24hrs to remove "excess calicuim from the manufacuturing process". Like an idiot i Didnt look it up beforehand. I wonder if that exceas calcium didnt really have a bunch...

this was supposed to be the quote i used.

I used no lime. I decided to take your advice and just mix up the base soil parts and get that tested. it was just 1part malibu compost, 2 parts wormgold plus, 3 parts premier peat and 2.5 parts growstones .5 part red lava rock and 1(ish) part black owl biochar.

Yeah, im not so much. Used ferments in the past. Whats your thoughts on lacto serum?

Ive used @leadsled's compost extract, sounds similar.... no one make aact anymore?

my best bet is probably go with the kis type ratios. so + 2/3rds peat and 1/3 aeration. i can get heavy as all hell lava rock, so that'll prob be my aeration addition. hopefully that'll level out some of these excesses im seeing.

I've not seen anything on grow stones raising ph but was making a list of possiblities. Wish i had pumice avalible. Quite possible that ill have access in the future, with a lil work and a trip. I was Thinking about giving it fulvic and aloe to help lower it but its unamended as well. adding...

and thats from the 1:1:1 humus/premier peat/grow stones i mixed 1 Part of malibu with 2 parts of WG and then i added the "1 part" of biochar(was more like 3/4) lightly watered and lett it sit for a week, turned it once. Then added that and worms into the main mix, let sit for 2-3 weeks then had...

@jumpincactus @leadsled Some how the wormgold and/or the grow stones sent my ph thru the roof! i wonder if the fact it was in a sealed zip lock bag for 2 or so weeks had an effect on it... could also be the 10% biochar..

Title says it all.

Any links or names for me to start at? Lignin is present in all plant matter, its just much higher in pine needles, oak leaves, wood, etc. its & its harder for the soil life to break down. If i had the time and space i'd make wood compost but i do not.

Thanks for all the replies, still no one know about sphagnum not being able to take any chemical ferts/pesticides? & didnt rodale determine that pine needles lose their acidity rather quickly, with their high lignin content being why they take so long to break down? Im not looking for nutrient...

Thanks for a reply! How long would you say pine needles take to break down for you?

There's no feedstores in my area so, i cant get organic hay. Local shops sell the stuff with tack. Mostly evergreens around me so sourcing leaves is not easy. I do have access to lawn clippings from yards that are half grass and half sphagnum. I've been told that peat wont grow with chemical...

Anyone know how old these are? You'de think someone would have tried one out! I like the gavita/commercial style assembly. You can get this for 330 or the nanolux for 320 on the zon. Both with their manufacturer's own bulbs...

Does anyone have a growers choice product? Im looking at their standalone 315 but seams any talk of them on a forum is in passing... (mostly bout their 630 de bulb)
