Dialing In MEGA CROP for Auto's

[WildBill]

I do/it is! I like buying the pre-made GJ as I am space-challenged (among other challenges) and don't want to keep multiple bottles of stuff if I can help it.

I never used Howard "The Dirt Doctor" Garret's Juice. It would have been cost prohibitive on my scale of useage. I corresponded and called his radio show on a fairly regular basis thru the 90s. Info wasn't readily available back then and more so with organics. I didn't miss his radio show back then.
My biggest problem back then was upscaling my organic program. It worked well enough to get the Federal Extension Ag agent to come out to my farm and ask why my unirrigated hay pasture looks so green during a drought. LOL!

Yes, that seems to be the biggest challenge.

It sure as hell was on the scale I did! LOL! In the end, one of my more expensive organic 'toys', as my Mom put it, was a 12yd dump truck I got at auction. I gathered my compost materials with it. Being a good scrounge and always ready to jump on a opportunity.
I still had a few hundred yards of very well broken down compost when I sold the place. The buyer let my neighbors come out and get what they wanted while I was moving everything. That last bit was some beautiful compost. Something you still can't buy anywhere, not that quality. I wish I had some now!

Ok guys I have found nirvana for calcium. The Soluble Calcium Sulfate dissolved nearly instantly in DI water

Gypsum eh? Isn't that supposed to be a nice pH up? (JK, this is a joke, please no one do this)

I seriously think AFN should consider an in house nute line. With all the grow addicts futzing about here with testing, measuring, etc... it shouldn't be too hard to white label a base product with a couple amendments for the "perfect" autoflower line.

That's interesting that Medina is making Howard's concoction.. They may have been from the beginning....25+ years..........but didn't know it.
If you use those things, do you use Medina's Horticulture Molasses? Good stuff.

I read on the Doctor Dirt web site that he authorized Medina to market Garret Juice.

I have used the Medina productsfor years, they are semi local to me.

Yes - I think that was the first company to come up with a retail version. It's easy to make (humate or compost tea, apple cider vinegar, liquid kelp, hydrolyzed fish, blackstrap molasses, bacs + mycos)- just takes up space to keep those materials. It's groovy stuff man.

There was several interesting companies in the Hill Country.
Ya know, for simplicity, I just may revisit some of Medina's products.
I think Garret Juice will be the best candidate for the way I grow. It would be easy to integrate into my mix of conventional organics and KNF. I think it could be a labor saver too.

Looking forward to your results with great interest!

I think it will work quite well in Earthboxes.
