Where can one obtain Leonardite Clay Dust in SoCal? The only thing I can find is General Organics Diamond Black which is derived from leonardite, unsure if this is the same thing?
Where can one obtain Leonardite Clay Dust in SoCal? The only thing I can find is General Organics Diamond Black which is derived from leonardite, unsure if this is the same thing?No worries...here's a more in depth version of the mix:
Roots Organic Soil (Regular, not 707)
Oyster Shell Calcium
Glacier Dust Micronutrients
Leonardite Clay Dust (Silica and Humic)
10-25% more perlite (optional, I don't use any extra)
I don't really know how to precisely explain the ratios to you, because I do it all by eye and just go with what feels right from experience. The best description I can give you is fill a container 8" deep with soil. Round kiddie pools work great. Then once you have 8" of soil, cover the top if it with calcium...use a nice heavy dusting. Then do about 1/2 as much with the micros and 1/3 as much with the leonardite. Add the optional perlite if you choose. Now mix it up. You're good to go...no waiting necessary.
That's a very basic mix that kicks ass from seed/clone to finish, and allows for the heavy feeding that I prefer.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Peace,

Alien, Im in a 27 gal tote. How would you recommend watering/feeding in terms of gallons? Usually I get slight run-off feeding 4-5 gals. How would you do it? 2 gal str8 water then 2-3 gal nutes? Thanks bro..PM me your email and I will send it over that way...seems to work for everyone that can't view it in the browser.
Budswel is great. Been using it for years on the trees.
I run it up until I flush. I think it will be fine but you should dial back your fulvic a bit just to make sure. SG is amazing stuff....
Right on...it'll do wonders for you and create some super tasty organic herb.
Thanks.
Awesome....thanks for the info and the link. I really appreciate it.
No overwatering...just really need to be tuned in on EXACTLY how much water your plants need.
PH - 6.2
PPM - 150-175
I am very fortunate to have such a clean flow.
Thanks for answering these questions bro. I appreciate it.
I do indeed prefer start to fresh with new soil. It's sterile and easiest. I save all of my soil and re-amend it for our vegetable beds in the yard.
Watering first, then feeding is the most effective for sure. This applies to indoor and outdoor.
And yes grower2, you are correct, I have an exact calculation of how much water/food each bed needs, and I water then feed accordingly to match those needs.
The beds do not have any drainage...that is correct.
Thanks for taking the time to scour the threads and find all this info to be helpful to others...very cool of you.
Peace all,
Alien

I've been using this exact regimen for a couple of weeks now, and my plants exploded. I'm talking like doubled in growth since I've been feeding. Not one sign of deficiencies either, nice and healthy. Even seemed to wake up a couple of my stunted Seven Ghosts seedlings, so maybe they will be keepers after all :)
hey alien.. ive been looking over your regimen and during my research the only primal harvest ossilized sea bird guano i could find has a 0-8-1 npk. is there another product that i am not finding or is this the same as you use ?
2 gal str8 water first then 2-3 gal nutes all in same feeding?Just wait until its damn near bone dry...then feed SLOWLY until saturated with slight runoff...then let it eat all of that and dry up before feeding again.
Great to hear! I have fine-tuned my nute schedule to incorporate the tea I am using with Cap's bennies and some other additions/subtractions. As soon as I have the time to break down all the numbers mathematically, I will be posting a new chart here with per gallon measurements. Only so much time in each day...haha.
The one I use is o-11-1, used to be 0-12-1...but really, the primary use for the Fossilized Seabird Guano is much more for flavor, aroma, terpene development...instead of bulking up...so the 0-8-1 should be great for you, as long it is is Primal Harvest Fossilized Seabird Guano. I believe in their product...far superior to any other Seabird guano I have seen/sampled/tried.
Cheers all,
A

Sounds good. Basically since I'm in veg I used everything listed in day one on your chart, using half of the recommended usage on the bottle for veg, then upped it to the full measurements from day one of the chart. Also one tea brew so far (one of the two free organic tea packets that came with my 3 gallon brewer kit from xtreme gardening), and some foliar spraying. I have Jupiter OG, Pure Kush, Seven Ghosts, and the White OG freebies that came with the Seven Ghosts, and they all love it, except the Pure Kush hasn't responded as well. The OG's seem to be the hungriest. I made one hell of a mess the first two times using sea green. So now I add it and let it bubble for about a minute, then unplug the brewer and the foaming seems to stop.
