    Coco Coir and Peat are both Antimicrobial mediums.. so not a great thing for organic growers. 🦠🦠

    Use Orange peel and microbes and sun dry



  3. @normagee on February 8, 2024 at 5:33 am

    excellent



  4. @NTBS on February 8, 2024 at 5:35 am

    there is no flavor in using synthetic



  5. @joshua1977ize on February 8, 2024 at 5:35 am

    Fish emulsion is the absolute best for buffering dry amendment times

    I did a side-by-side with six plants using great white. They only had a week in cup size containers and three of the plants were weak and small. The three week small plants got great white and they actually had a much fuller root system than the three other plants that looked healthier But no great white. I will always sprinkle great white on or where the roots will be touching from now on

    Yes.
    If microbes were not important.. would there be a microbes emoji 🦠

    Would cannabis need some form of "endophytic mycorrhizae" in a synthetic nutrient grow? I’m curious but I grow in living soil.

    hell ya

    Thanks again Gents! Good day All!

    In soil Microbes are very important IMO & I feel like if your soil dries out, they become dormant in the soil. It won’t hurt to let it dry out on top few inches ONLY during your grow! If you can use top layer/ Cover crop/ to keep in the moisture too! Always reuse your soil, just amend it with "Craft blend" From B.A S. & your good to go! I like to use Rootwise microbe complete, it works great!

    Fantastic having the Doc drop some grower knowledge ✨✨✨🤏🏻Grower love and respect all

    Great episode with Dr MJ Coco. Really shed light on some of my assumptions about growing!

    I hope he’s willing to do the Coco part 2 discussion. Your carefully worded question and his balanced response work together to define the issue of microbe use in synthetic grows. I have a couple questions for you guys: 1> We’re told that we can apply innocculents in foliar recipes. Do synthetic growers reap benefits similar to organic growers with foliar applications or does the synthetic rhizosphere limit these applications too? 2> There any tons of different species of beneficial mycorrhizae and rhizobacteria. Are there species that work better in synthetic rhizospheres than others? Thx again!

    You would think after time your content would lose a little something just because there’s so much. But it seems to get better and better all the time! I don’t know how many more people can jump on and ride your coattails! But you sure do a lot for your subscribers and everybody else trying to make it off your fame through Podcasts and name drops! You’re awesome.

    I like to know if recharge takes the place of regular grow nutrients? Like Foxfarm trio? Soil grow.



  17. @TheOfficialLittleG on February 8, 2024 at 6:11 am

    Green Grow granular twice a week in veg. Mammoth P in bud once a week.

    What about Vermiculite and coconut powder
