@STILLSMOKIN ..we want Honest reviews...or the system doesn't Work.

I said we would tally up when everyone has had a chance to germinate......you are Not the only one that has had problems.....it Happens.

We caught a bad batch for a vendor earlier in the year....and Our feedback helped identify the Batch for the vendors...which they replaced...with Thanks that we had picked it up.

That is how we expect the Team to work.

If you can't deal with a Fail without calling out the rep/comp/seed ...it just doesn't work.

I'm sorry I should have read through the whole thread before saying anything. I had no ideal on the germ check or that it's had that many complaints on germ. Sorry to anyone I bothered I'll admit I was wrong and should have read the whole post before putting my foot in my mouth.

BlueSky Organics Myco-Grow (water soluble mycorrhiza) (expensive too but not like Great White)

I was looking into great white, but holy crap is that expensive. Its over whelming all the extras that you can buy and how pricy they are. I just don't know what ones are really worth it and what ones are hype.. So far I've tried optic foliar, jakes vitamin B6-12 supplements(or maybe it was 1-6),potassium silicate, green planet root builder, Molasses, AN big bud, AN final flush and the list go on.... Really I am not sure any one of them did a damn thing.
I think the most noteworthy of them all has been the Molasses, and it's by far the cheapest.

I think a lot of it might be because i'm a new grower and I am not at that level yet to utilize these products to their full potential. Great white has been on my radar to try next, but with your suggestion I think I might look more towards the Myco-grow. I've recently switched soil from sunshine mix to promix hp. Would adding more mycorrhiza be of benefit to the soil do you think ?

Wanna See my Pest Control tutorial @Frankthetank ...?....

Outdoor Pot growers have to be Tough.
One of our Biggest fears is Garden Pests..here is my quick guide:

When you are Outdoors pest come in all shapes and sizes...

You need to be vigilant..keep your eyes on your girls for early warning signs.

Most garden pests accumulate in out of the way places...under trees and bushes where leaves and garden debris blows.

It gives them a Home...a place to hide.

Look closely and you are bound to spot one....

Basic gardener hygiene can eradicate them....

find those hard to reach areas and brush away the debris...

Learn to spot your garden pests Early...can you see it....?

Can you See it Now....?......



Not all garden pests are this Large...may take a bit more spotting...some are so small they are hard to see...Always check the underside of leaves..they are hiding to survive...

Some pest even try to disguise themselves..by changing colour...

or using tools to Fool you..

This one is either growing antenae..or growing a Unicorn Horn..
do not be fooled by Friendly looks..a Pest is a Pest..and best controlled.


Before it gets a good hold on your patio...

Neem works well on aphids..

for larger garden pests...you might find placing a fence round your Pest could prevent further damage......

But do it Before the Pest snacks......or it simply won't Care...

We all know That Face....................huh............?............

Mesa, a staff favorite for inoculants + other goodies is Recharge... a solid value for the $ - .... as for the other stuff, a lot of apples vs oranges there,... Optic Foliar is real-deal goods; Transport is fantastic for use in other applications, as it's the component that allows temporary penetration through the leaf cuticle layer, haul whatever is dissolved in it along for the ride,... power tool for treating defc.'s!
... B-vit's, I see a lot of back and forth on them, but I think they help... We used Superthrive to good effect at the orchid nursery, along Si... that alone has several benefits (check Reference section for info about this), also interacts with other nutes metabolism.... root tonics usually cover B vit's, humic-fulvic (very good stuff BTW), some nutes, microbes, etc... depends of course on the brand,.... Molasses offers Ca, Mg, K, a little Fe one or two other things depending on the brand and type (level of processing, a good read in Wiki about this), but the sugars are for the soil herd.. ramps them up, and in turn benefits the plant!
AN flush stuff, probably a surfactant that help knock loose bound ions from the medium, helping "flush" the extra's out... I'm betting you already have read up in the Myth Buster section about "flushing", or what many of us here call cleansing,...
As any grower, new or otherwise, I highly recommend the Si, inoculant, humic-fulvic (also in Ref. section- ... BioAg makes superb product), root tonic,... I have Transport always, along with a dedicated micronutrient supplement Earth Juice Microblast ( I add that weekly); together as a foliar, they crush most any defc. especially difficult micronute ones,... but you must still treat the medium, foliar is fast but temporary....

Don't forget kelp extracts 60+ micro nutrients.

 

[Waira]

yup! So many product have that in them already too, so it's always wise to read the labels and see,... Really good kelp extract also has various hormones in it as well,...

Just a little info incase you didn't know.. Pro mix is not soil.. Its a base medium. It has no nutritional value. Its almost like coco or hydro in the fact that you have to feed the plant everything it needs from day one to harvest. Most new growers use soil until they feel comfortable reading the plants and controlling all aspects of feeding.. Then move to pro mix, coco or hydro. Pro mix can be tough for new growers. You've gotta be to completely dialed in and ontop of everything.

Thanks for that. I thought it was just light soil. Im glad i saw this before i bought. I can get by, but im not a master by any means. And im not sure i wanna be in control of every aspect. [emoji27]
