I dont know much about it and there was a thread somewhere about this....I think one of caveman's posts. What I do know is that it is a good thing. I usually feed with bottled nutes so I really never really did any reading up on this even though I should.

As should I...I'm gonna do some searching myself. I've used up my sample and they're recommending this stuff be used at least once a week. I could just imagine how much this stuff will accumulate over the course of a flowering cycle. I'm probably gonna buy a bag to see the full affects of this stuff.

I always start my new coco with a root innoculant. Right now I use OGBiowar.

I've only seen that with fresh coco and no root innoculant.

So, I went with the top dress application and when the lights came on today I decided to check things out and I thought of your post.

Wth is this "white fuzz" and how is it good?View attachment 410659

The white fuzz is mycelium, which are fungal networks (couldn't tell you what species), which are part and parcel of the microbial life you want in your soil.

How is it good? Basically it's like this--the fuzz, the microbes, the fungus, bacteria, protozoa, amoeba, actinomycetes, arthropods, all of these critters first must consume the nutrients that you've fed into the soil. When they do this, they are mineralizing the nutrients, they are fixing them in their bodies. Then, when they shit or die, those nutrients have been converted into a more bio-available, or plant available form. Sometimes it doesn't stop there, sometimes another microbe has to eat the first microbe, or a macrobe, like an earth worm (or other annelid) consumes then shits. Either way, the nutrients are first fixed, or mineralized, and then they are made available by death or shit.

So in essence, when you see a fungal network like that you know that the soil is alive and it's going to feed your plants.

Dig! I've never had an bug infestation EVER, but I saw a single ant last night. It was a nice size one too. I'm gonna hit my home with Ortho Home Defense, especially around the window seal in that room. I'm not too worried about any contamination in my garden, because I have that window sealed and blacked out to prevent any light from entering. I'm just gonna have to take everything down and put it back up.

Anyway, does organics signal little critters? I am assuming so, because that is a brand new tent clean as a whistle

Not like weather changes do.
