Oh, did I hurt your Ego, friend? I did not mean to - although I really don't find Ego too useful, haha.
Anyways, I still am looking for pointers, hehe. I read almost everything in the Farm. I disagree with you on books, as I've invested a solid time in reading like a motherfucker. Yes, there are old books, but there are new ones and some of them, if not most of them, usually have at least one questionable conception - it is inevitable! People used to believe that synthetic Nitrogen was very good for the soil, as it feeds bacteria, witch is living on Nitrogen, haha. Well, now we know that the exact process is nothing like that - we know that there are predator-microorganisms in the soil that feed on a particular type of bacteria/fungi. When only the ones that need N are being fed, then only they prosper and everything else simply dies. After a certain time, even the living bacteria is bound to die off, as synthetic N doesn't help them multiply, just to grow on size and when the fed population comes to the end of its cycle (or they run into said predator-microorganisms), nothing replaces them for a long time, haha...
Also, I'm looking to bring out the taste AS MUCH as possible - I have Guano and EWC mixed with the soil. I use only organic ferts and in that number is also Humin. If you think about it, I've replaced everything that a normal farmer would use for a particular purpose with a product or a mix of products that has also another purpose, other than what other farmers are aiming for - that is not yield, appeal or anything else - it is taste, haha... Here's a list of what I'm using. Every component is usually said to bring out the taste more, so I decided to go with all of them and figure out a way to use them for multiple purposes, other than improving/bringing out the natural taste of the herb.
Guano - High P (fungi)
Palm-tree Ashes - High K (overall); combined with Guano you get a booster (1:1, classic booster like Canna's PK:13/14)
Humin - High K (overall, but mostly bacteria); combined with the Guano at a lower dose and palm-tree ashes, I get another booster (1:2, new formula like Hammerhead PK:9-18)
EWC - combined with Humin, I get a vitalizer, hehe.
No way to beat the quality of organically grown herb, mate - no way, haha. Flushing, molasses, etc. - that is not the herb's smell and taste. Soma even claimed that when using fertilizers, whatever kind of a chemical fertilizer one uses, even after a flush, it stays present on a cellular level on one can't just flush it away like that, haha - I totally agree. Also, when using only organic fertilizers, if one has a dialed diet, maybe there could be nothing present from the use of a fertilizer, as it has all turned into organic and degradable matter - usually, plant's matter, haha...
Still, thank you for your kind words! Can you tell me what atb means? And what's going on with your harvest? Did you chop or?
Peace and Love.
