Guy Smiley Organics (Fully organic Soil/AACT building)

Trailer made me think of this SOAD track lol.... I'll have a look at that movie. A question about the pic of the fungi mycelia you have on top of the soil there... do you work that into the soil. ? I made some a nice mycelia cake over the last 4 days, it's in tea now but wondering if it beneficial to work into the soil too ? I used compost, oats and greek yogurt, anything else I could use...fungal covered rotting leaves / twigs ?
:pass:

Well your growing Outdoors correct?like 100% outdoors?hmmmm,yeah Im personally on the fence using yogurt buuut it IS a damned fine source of foods and proteins for the mikes as well as the others if it solidifies some.the rotting leaves found indigenous are eally whatcha want bro.for regional growing outdoors it thee most ideal to prep a purely local Bug bag if you will.you wanna harvest the Microbes from the land underneath firstly since thats where the staying power is.if you also have some killer compost(which it sounds like it decnt at thee very least ) thats Killer too.Rice is great.Wettable powders are good too if you lack in some areas.WP's Also provide food for the others bugs.but just remember for canna you really want the predominant to be the Endo and Ecto specs too.but again when you have compost...or steer or whatever thats essentially either eating itself and/or just eating other lesser foods and gathers them white fuzzy strands,like the castings residues of being broken down and the moist kelp meal flakes n so on.so yeah brutha man.you really wanna take that White fuzzy fluffy stuff that provides foods AND life ..TOO the soil.so yup yup ya wannt tuen that into the soil.its the same principle as if you had a cooking batch and see wee white puffds at the top of the soil .needs to be folded it and mixed.

the real issue your going to have imho(since Im just waking up actually LOL!) is if you get a tainted stick or area.which would possibly taint your batch if the stuffs on the wood or leaves are a deeper white or light greens .and anything other(darker really) you really really need to stay away from and/or use very very sparingly.cuz if used a lil of in a proper mix it food.butt too much it'll become dominant and your mix will die over time.all depends on how much bad is in there.but other than that sounds like your doing awesome man.just a few words to the wise bro but YES..turn them white fuzzy flanks of funky into the soil.
 
Also you can use saaay..ya know ya go out into the area and ya find a tree and grass and leaves.if you have areas that have a log for example thats mist underneath thats not fully like stinky..! ya know? you can grab some of that..the mold and under the leaves and very loose larger stuff you can grab a few fistfull or just scrape the top cpl inches..a lil silty sand is fine but not a lot.that also is a great impromptu way to help build it and the tolerance of your soil too.but again just make sure you have your life balanced essentially.and thats as simple as making sure a heavy endo n ecto and basic facultative life in a tea and hit the soil to cook it or a simple bubblwed water or WP to the soil to blend in.but thats great too.and rice packs burried as i think Ive mention a few pages back?cant recall. but here's a link if ya aint seen this already.but im guessin ya prolly have..but hope thats also helpful.



and i just looked at my soil thats been sleeping for right about 36 hours....a lil less.and its got action all over the top.Awesome.this is my third mix or the five.yaaa,im making more lol

Thanks again bro, I am loving all this learning and actually applying it to my growing, like you say, it feels right in the bones, heart & soul, working with our mother. Understand the need for the life to be in balance and that can be difficult when we can't see most of the soil life ? But we can get indicators of whats going on with the soil life from what we can see. e.g. one of my photo plots has ALOT of springtails, I heard that alot of springtails indicated fungal dominance as springies are a fungi feeder ?? I really want to take it to the next level in the next year or so. I want to eventually get a microscope and start analyzing my own soils as well. As much as I am looking forward to this years grow in my new plots, it is next year I am looking forward to even more. hope you ok mate

But ya know..Ive seen a multitude of comments that really have made me pause and ill leave it at that.I dont generally get around the forum much cuz Im bored and honestly i feel like crap n just kinda ugh .lol! but was poking around some over the last few days and maaaan,I gotta say.some ppl really have an askew view upon organics even within the simplistic relm of base powder pre blended mixes.and let not talk about an actual Living Soil and how to properly and EFFECTIVELY maintain the living populous of said Living herd of awesomeness.sooo.I can assure you i'll retouch these subjects in detail from my personal viewpoint only as ALWAYS!.im no got damned Expert..WHO EVER said I was a damned expert.I personally fucking resent it in a weird way to be fully truthful.i dont want an Ego.Im human and we all got dumb ass ego.plus we're all growers.and dont even get me started on master growers lmfao!! thats a damned joke imho.anywho.nah Im not mad Im just ranting slightly and coming off gruff but I speak my piece and in 100% FULL ON truth.Id say THIS exactly as its typed if you were standing in front of me.n thats NO bullshit either.I am truly sorry for cussing a bit more but Im trying to get me point across that is all,and assert how much it bums me out mostly. now dont go for a second thinking its ANY single individual..since well.it not.its a large blanket statement over many many threads and comments ive read.Just cuz I cant explain the science in my own words very well.DONT go thinking for a second i dont understand them, in my soul.I feel this in my bones.its that simple.

any who sorry bout that.I really kinda been keeping that on my chest for a good wee bit and i dont like stress.lol.

Don't let the uneducated bother you EoF. I read shit all the time, makes me want to jump in and post something but then I think of the saying, "don't throw pearls to swine." You know, when someone is ignorant about a subject there isn't much that can be said. Well, there is a lot that can be said but, why? I have learned to just laugh and go on about it. I figure, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see who shit is on point and who ain't. Your shit is on point, believe that. ;)

I was reading some threads earlier about LED, and don't get me wrong, I ain't got no problems with LED growers. They are the wave of the future and they are going to be awesome one day. They have their place in small/medium grow rooms and such but it pisses me off to no end seeing people growing one or two plants under two or three panels and saying, this shit is better than HID. I gotta just keep on browsing.....and laugh.

Yeah, anyways, just passing through, checking on my "true" organic growing buddy. Keep it bubbling and alive!
 
hey Thank ya my brother man!! yaaa I bet man.but sometimes man,ya juuust literally goo maaaaan n ill go burn one.cuz time after time it can really be a major task to NOT come off as a jerk of sorts when thats the furthest thing from whatcha wanna do.but the frustration sometimes get the better of me.LOL! but its ok lol i tend to just laugh sometime too man.ya buddy,them LED;s are soooo better than HID's lmfao ive seen the same thing a time er three too LOL!for me I cant have much stress in my life and when Im the kinda guy who'll always try and help...ALWAYS!,;
