cytokinin and zeatin ...i wonder how plants grow without itRight...i will stick to my 100%..., by the way someone is pouring coconut water on them in nature. The other seeds do in fact excrete their enzymes into the surrounding soil when they sprout. Seeds contain many enzymes whose sole purpose is to assist other seed to germinate.
@GT21
What drives germination? NPK?
Nope germination is a process that is carried out solely with the help of enzymes, including hormone signaling enzymes found in coconut water...and u already know this...man.
They will eventually produce their own but seeds have an embryo and endosperm that come loaded with growth hormone...similar to a placenta. We're talking germination and mortality rates....not full life cycles.cytokinin and zeatin ...i wonder how plants grow without it
Your 100% germ rate out of a hand full im literally100 for 100 doing it just like nature does just dirt and some water straight out of my tap to believe it or not no heating pad no nada why make things more complicatedRight...i will stick to my 100%..., by the way someone is pouring coconut water on them in nature.

Mimicking nature!

I dont use heat mats eitherYour 100% germ rate out of a hand full im literally100 for 100 doing it just like nature does just dirt and some water straight out of my tap to believe it or not no heating pad no nada why make things more complicated
same...why because i know when seeds germinate it's cold outside...early spring...you can get a seed to germinate in good rich soil. it's the fulvic acid in the humus. i've heard of sprinkling EWC if you direct sow but i lost half my beans last time i did a direct sow. i think so much cover crop was growing it choked them out. that's my experience though...hey knock yourself out. once i get 5000 beans i just start chucking handfuls in my bed...lolI dont use heat mats either
I've used lots of things but if you keep up with my process you'll see I don't use nothing but water and soil now. I say this to show everyone learns. This is not towards you cause I know we share ideas on germination and other things.Man im 100 for 100 just in dirt straight outta the bag no mats no nothing just like "nature" i aint never seen nature pour coconut water on seeds or add any of that other stuff...i thought yall notill guys were one with nature lol
Using Epsom salt shows your soil is not correct, otherwise why would you need it!?Why would you scoff at Epsom salts? Are you basing it on a bad experience? Epsom Salt or magnesium sulfate if you prefer has dozens of benifits to plants. It encourages the production of chlorophyll and subsequently photosynthesis. It helps the plants ability to take up nitrogen and phosphorus. It promotes green leaves. It's a great source of magnesium and sulfur and it's just about impossible to overuse. Added to a foliar spray it helps the nutes enter the leaves stomata
Worm reactor...kelp meal contains it's own uptake enhancer my friend...fulvic acid. Fulvic acid opens cell membranes. Saponin and salicylic acid found in aloe Vera as well. Jelp contains 72 trace minerals. Only thing it will not accumulate is sodium!I don't use Epsom salt because my soil is lacking in magnesium and sulphur it's just part of the interconnected web of chemicals not just working alone but working together. The Boron contained as a micronutrient in the seaweed teas I use increases the plants ability to take up magnesium and potassium. That magnesium is then used by the plant to improve chlorophyll production which in turn improves photosynthesis. The available magnesium also improves flowering and the production of sweeter fruit in the veg garden. The magnesium also improves a plants ability to take up the majors (NPK) and when it's in the form of Epson Salt it's just about impossible to use to much. It's use is widespread in organic gardens and I wouldn't plant tomatoes and peppers without giving the a dose. If adding magnesium sulfate indicates my soil is lacking what do you add to yours? Commercial fertilizers with fish and seaweed emulsions, bat guano and worm castings? Come on guys.. unless your growing in your own well rounded compost your adding things to your soil. I add Epsom Salt so the plant gets the full benefit of the added nutes. A little bit of research goes a long way. If you were to look into Epsom you might even incorporate it into your own growing. As you say Brazel were all here to learn.
I do like talking plants but there are no chiseled in stone rules to growing outside of the basic requirement.
Ps.. Ill put my compost up against any bag of soil. It's just that I've had more Botrytis outdoors than I want and I'm afraid of bringing anything in from the outside lest I bring in the rot. Rock on guys and good luck on your grows. I'm just gonna keep the faith.
peace is not the absence of war, it it is the absence of the threat of war and the rules of war - gill scott heronYou see it's kind of like carrying a handgun...better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Do I need to feed my soil MBP...no..
Do I, yes...why? Great question...why not?
you can use other biology to control Botrytis, you could source the following microbes Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma Hazarium, these three are recommended to control this disease naturally, introducing high numbers of these microbes and trying to match relevant organic inputs, or companion plants to encourage natural inhibition of grey molds, if you are struggling i make an inoculate called K+AMINO which has bio control for white and grey mold :) it should be used ahead of planting to pre condition mediaI don't use Epsom salt because my soil is lacking in magnesium and sulphur it's just part of the interconnected web of chemicals not just working alone but working together.
