Yeah the spots really grow on you literally.. I start looking at my plants and don't see the spots then I know well its time..
Tonight is Nano Breathe night most likely.. Pictures will come :D

Good skillz, seconded, we do talk shit, but we got love for each other like Arnold and Willis.
Applications of foliar applied feeds and support additives can be quite helpful when the air temps are a little drier too. We find the calcium in its nano milled state remains well mobile when applied as a foliar, somewhat mitigating the lack of hydraulic capacity suffered by plants in times of extremely low RH%, leading to an overall reduction in the browning of leaf tips, often mistaken for nutrient burn by inexperienced growers unfamiliar with how Relative humidity impacts our plants capacity to uptake nutrients, esp some of the less mobile elements.
Even in Organic systems, check the environment before turning to the bottle.

Actually that is a great bit of information that will help me for sure and most others.. In winters my humidity gets super low generally 30% so I do see some struggles.. They are probably in 35% humidity in veg right now and flourishing happy girls.. I learn something new everyday about calcium and humidity etc.

nice little mycos graphic. We are learning so much about the evolutionary advantage growing with know biomes of soil dwelling organisms offers above those whom choose to garden synthetically.
BOX are committed to good quality soil and plant management, because we are committed to the human race mate. Not for profits, for the sake of belonging. We are pushing the boundaries, asking questions, we test test and test again. We dont take observational anecdotes and bottles them, we are really pulling soil apart and hacking the way we feed such systems. We are showing where new data is proving the futility of past practice. we aim to deliver organics 2.0 if you like.
I aint gonna sit here and preach data that can not be confirmed by a third party source about how ACT can save the world,preventing pathogens or others because the science is still out, but I am gonna say its a great way to insure Protozoa numbers, and thanks to science, we certainly know they play a vital role in nature regarding the transfer of nutrients from A via B to C and onwards to our plants. And it is one to the key theories that has helped us understand predator prey and how this benefits plants in the vicinity and beyond.
see here for example, https://wyrdscience.wordpress.com/2...ars-of-cross-atlantic-communication-barriers/
its also a great way to extend the value of the money you spend, making a little go further.
Anyway, we are here on this thread to provide support, if you dont know me, come and say hi :)

I used a near dead Aloe plant to show the power of Breathe too mate, it side by side before and after thing, I will try to find it. BTW K+AMINO grows awesome Orchids, 0.5ml/L once a week at most

Excellent thing to know.. My gf loves doing Orchids.. Any other tips on orchids you can give in general so I can grow my own and blow her away? LMAO You know me.. I got to have the best hahahaha

Breathe really helps |Aloe in high sun matey, the additional support for photons topped with the regulation of stomata guard cells, can have quite a positive effect on those suffering in high light and heat, not ideal for Aloe. breathe helps them cope better, and K+AMINO has a bunch of microbes that insert gene proteins both as Harpin style proteins and AAC syntheses to regulate the accumulation of ethylene receptors (ETR-1), common in plants suffering drought and stress abiotically. It is the massing of ETR-1 receptors that release the gas and in turn this initiates program cell death (PCD) that eventually leads to the death of the plant, where it is recycled in to nutrients by soil microbes and fungus etc

I find coco is the best media for Orchids mate, dont bother with anything else, just use K+AMINO mate and shine the leaves weekly LOL

yes bottom feeding can really help develop root lenght, I try to do combinations, so i will let the top dry out periodically, this helps reduce insect pests and also increase air flow to top roots. Doing both will build the best structure IMO, too much bottom feeding can result in decreased O2 levels as media compacts over time and gravity, plus ions etc. Also it weakens the anchor points at the stem where it joins the root base, lowering the stability in higher winds.
If i see pests, i bottom feed in root pouches until I can see they are gone, no little slits like plastic tubs for water to leak out in fabric root pouches, since water comes out via the fabric gernally, there is no need for a drain. This means no insects crawl in through those over run slots like they always do in plastic plant pots.

Ok so all my observations with regards the impacts on direct P feeds and Mycos is this. If your plant can source abundant P via root diffusion, the signal to associate with Mycos is restricted or simply remains unsent. So the plant decides, hey I dont need you fungus, I can get plenty of P easily. What is lost is the secondary metabolites the association would enable, these being increased stress resistance and ongoing access to P way beyond the reach of the root system alone

Why growing with Microbes gives us organic growers a evolutionary advantage over synthetics, until now, largely lost to the indoor grower
Bacterial Quorum Sensing as a Control Point in Rhizosphere Nitrogen Transformations
K. M. DeAngelis, M. K. Firestone, S. E. Lindow;
University of California, Berkeley, CA.
Rhizosphere bacteria play an important role in the soil N cycle and plant N nutrition through the release of extracellular enzymes. Temperate terrestrial plants are generally N-limited because most soil N is organic: chitin, proteins, lignoproteins and nucleotides. These compounds require digestion by microbial exoenzymes, likely the rate-limiting step in N mineralization. Proteobacteria in particular dominate rhizosphere bacterial communities, suggesting their importance in soil community enzyme activity. There is also evidence of specific interactions between soil bacteria and plants via quorum sensing (QS): root exudates of many plant species can disrupt bacterial QS and impact QS-controlled behaviors, like exoenzyme production. We hypothesize that (1) bacterial QS is an important control point in rhizosphere N mineralization, and that (2) density-dependent responses by specific populations are primarily responsible for much of the conversion of organic N to inorganic, mineralized N. We have examined bacterial communities in microcosms grown with Avena barbata, and our results so far are (a) Gross rates of N mineralization using 15N pool dilution were affected by addition of acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) signals to bulk soil. (b) Chitinase and protease specific activity was significantly higher in the rhizosphere compared to bulk soil. (c) A whole-cell biosensor that responds sensitively to a broad range of AHL signals detected more QS signal in the rhizosphere compared to bulk soil. (d) Isolation of chitin- and protein- degrading bacteria from Avena rhizosphere soil reveals that 65% of isolates (347 of 533) did not survive pasteurization, 39% of those had either exo-protease or exo-chitinase activity (136 of 347), and 20 of the exoenzyme active isolates (111) produced AHL detected by the biosensor. While QS appears to play a role in rhizosphere N cycling and plant N nutrition, though the interactions are more complex than originally hypothesized. The biosensor reflects the increased cell numbers and activity observed in the rhizosphere. Our data indicate that signaling plays a major role in the soil N cycle.

Ok so just watched the vid, wow, very cool... What I saw on Tube a while ago, was a guy that would go to transplant and do that exact same thing, sprinkle some in hole before transplant, since then I have been entrigued, but this vid helped so much, great info Thx ~
