Humboldt dr,
Without too much debate on growing and feeding, some things can't be ignored. Best example is, the outdoor cannabis from the Sierra Nevada's have that earthy mountain smell. If you follow what I mean, then you know that organic soils byproducts magically find their way into the plant thus into the
terpenes.. ok. However in almost all organic soils for indoor gardening, most rarely have time to truly break down and imprint themselves into the plant cells. (Subcools super soil is an excellent example of a soil properly cooked in with organic foods readily available for novice gardeners) Mostly because indoor cannabis crops take less than a few months to grow and only a percentage of packaged soil breaks down. Plants feed on ions, not shit. Shit breaks down over time right. So we brew shit into a chelated tea, immediately available to be uptaken as ions into the plant. We use shit, lots of it, some are def better than others! Also I add my humics and fulvics along with sugars in the brew, creating a healthy root zone, attacking plant micro deficiencies at the source. Add in mycos, cool stuff and so on.
Observations I noted over time, was that as I visit my dispensary customers, the crappy shake left over always smelled better than the actual buds many delivered. Smell, color, and taste lasted much longer than most if not all on hand. I had them save the trash as well to replace it with bud as a good grower provider, none do that. We take that and use it in our oil production and edibles since it's of such perfect quality still.
As far as my actual products used and mix ratios, that's what will remain my secret. Always. Like some don't part with genetics, my tea formulations are much different than what I did 2 years ago. So is my product testing. I'll also keep secret. I hope in time as commercial grows accelerate and us little guys get consumed by big groups, I hope my new foods and teas set me apart.
Thanks guys, I know this is always a controversial discussion, organic vs chem and ions and such. Hope ya dig it.
