I spent a lot of time over at Rollitup, but I finally had it with the community there. Just having a quick look around and I saw a sticky about beneficial insects, which is still a mystery at RIU, so I know that I'm in the right place! I just hope that this forum is a little more friendly than the last one, because it was hard to make friends there. Anyways, I'm into composting, huge worm bins, KNF/JADAM, Sub Irrigated Planters, probiotics, insectary, and closed loop farming. I also get my soil tested when I am having problems(this is the subject that didn't go well in RIU). I started getting my soil tested around 2016 and found that I have a recurring problem of manganese being too low, like constantly. I just wanted to know if anyone is on the same page as I am. It wasn't just manganese, but it would sometimes be Zn or B.
I have been making my own leaf mould compost with grass clippings, rabbit bedding(alfalfa), oak leaves, and rock dust. That was the picture above. However, I recently started using worm bins and running my compost through there and I've been having a lot better luck, but my compost tests look VERY similar to the Malibu Compost that I posted above. I don't think that EVERYONE will have the same problems as I do, like Hawaii soil is supposed to be very rich in Mn. So, this could just be a local problem that I'm having?Where at you sourcing you soil from. I grow in soil but have never considered getting it tested. I wouldn’t even know where to get it tested. I’ve also never had problems with my soil. Lots of organic stuff on here mate.
Sorry mate but their is no pics above.I have been making my own leaf mould compost with grass clippings, rabbit bedding(alfalfa), oak leaves, and rock dust. That was the picture above.

Welcome to the farmaly. No drama here. We just grow dank. You’re in the right place. Interested in your soil and knf process. Check out dragon flame genetics here on the farm and he breeds and grows in Hawaii, he’s all about knf and utilizing the fruits of his land. Happy grows.I spent a lot of time over at Rollitup, but I finally had it with the community there.

And get ready for summer camp in Canada 2020Hey okie , not many jerks here and real easy to make friends .....unless you are into complete defoliation of your plants , then things might get heated up
Well, I have been growing for about 9yrs and I was looking for answers about micronutrients. I have been making my own compost, but I know that it could be better, there is always room for improvement. I'm currently doing a little of indoor and outdoor growing and I finished my first real outdoor harvest(finally legal in Oklahoma). I'm trying to get my grow dialed in because I'm having the same problem both indoor and out(micronutrients) because I'm using the same soil. I will get early yellowing sometimes with brown spots on it. I'm getting it under control but I still haven't mastered it yet. Here is a pic of my current grow that I just chopped a couple of weeks ago, it's Pineapple Fields from Dynasty Seeds.Sorry mate but their is no pics above.
Are you actually using dirt or just a mix of the stuff you mentioned above??
Ahh sorry just seen pics.
What are you trying to achieve??
Big outside plants water only to finish or something smaller inside.
I'm actually the other way around, I need to trim/train my plants more. I'm currently growing too much larf lol. I have been watching Kyle Kushman recently trying to work in some of his methods. I figured that I would perfect my soil before I moved on to other aspects of growing, but I was stumped for a while I'll admit it. It felt like I hit a wall a couple of years ago and I'm just getting over it. I was hoping that I could figure out how to use TM-7 the right way, because it always does more harm than good when I use it. I read some articles that make sense, but it really didn't solve my problems. I mean, I'm not doing horribly or anything, I'm just trying to get dialed in to the point to where I don't have early yellowing anymore. I'm pretty sure that it's the same Mn problem that I have been dealing with, but it's a tricky problem even with soil testing.Hey okie , not many jerks here and real easy to make friends .....unless you are into complete defoliation of your plants , then things might get heated up
Thank you! I'm using Clackamas Coot's recipe mostly. I listened to a 3pt series that he had on Kis OrganicsWelcome to the farmaly. No drama here. We just grow dank. You’re in the right place.
