Soil and insect frass , with the soil I am more than happy with , Insect frass , Now that I have used it a number of times I can see a definite improvement in growth patterns with it added to the soil , than with out it , well worth adding it to the soil , The below info I copied and pasted ,

Insect Frass is absolutely teeming with beneficial microbes, chitin, and plant available nutrients! It will not only work to improve soil health, activate natural plant defenses, and accelerate plant growth, but also feed & boost your beneficial microbe population!

Packed with even more biology, organic matter & plant-available nutrients than regular worm castings! Gardeners can expect to use much lower rates at application compared to worm castings or compost! Apply just 50-100g per m2 in outdoor settings!

Add to indoor potted plants, garden beds, vegetable patches & hydroponic media for explosive growth!

The Key Benefits of Chitin from Insect Frass​

• Immunity Improvement: Chitin stimulates a plant's natural defenses against pests and disease, making it an effective and natural way to boost immunity and protect your plants.
• Root Promotion: With chitin, your plants will experience a boost in root growth and development, leading to stronger, healthier plants with more extensive root systems.
• Nutrient Uptake Enhancement: By adding chitin from insect frass to soil, nutrient uptake is improved, leading to better growth, yields, and overall plant health.
• Soil Structure Enhancement: Chitin helps to improve soil structure by promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms that break down organic matter, leading to better aeration and water retention.
• Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Insect frass is a sustainable and eco-friendly source of chitin, making it an excellent choice for growers who care about natural and environmentally conscious ways to improve plant growth.

Other advantages:​

• Insect Frass contains a wide spectrum of vital nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and other trace minerals.
• It increases soil health and fertility by incorporating necessary nutrients while inoculating billions of beneficial bacteria!
• It can be utilized to increase plant yields and general health with its high levels of Chitin.
• Since it contains helpful bacteria that can inhibit pathogenic soil-borne diseases, it can be utilized as a natural pest control method in some cases

I use 1 and 1/2 cups to 27 ltr of soil , I would highly recommend using it even if you have to pay for it , I am lucky I can get my own from a insect that eats wood chips , which has a added benefit with worms coming to the party a bit later in the break down process -- Win Win -- Now if you buy it the common insect frass is from black soldier fly , Now don't think it is the only type that works , I think I have proved that , I think I have posted enough on frass I for one will never not use it .

I have been using fermented insect frass in this last grow. With positive results I saw, I have some frass coming in for this next grow.

 

[hecno]

Here we go guys at day 32 , trimmed and topped , I have only topped the one time and will not top again as they are at 30cm so I will flip in 2 or 3 days to give them time to settle . This week water only and soil is doing great .

Now the fat girl . Had to trim the 2 tops leaf's off due to shading the while plant .

@MossyFor you

 

[DCLXVI]

Whoo, that's some fat fingered monster leaves on that one.

 

[hecno]

Day 40 and day 4 of 12/12 . This week I added Humic acid - Molasses - Coconut water . Room temp 24c at 55% humidity . First up I am calling her Zena .
CKMT All plants are around 35cm tall , being my first full photo tent grow it will give me a good idea for next time .

Mango Haze x Z99 . I have finished trimming , but I may do a little bit more as they grow .

I am really enjoying this grow , no issues so far which makes it easy , as long as I get 2 females out of the MH X Z99 I will be happy .

 

[hecno]

Ok , all is going well . Day 12 of 12/12 , water with 1 dose with insect frass tea and molasses , Height 37cm . I ended up with 3 females out of the 5 seeds of the MHxZ99 . Happy with that . I have stopped the main trimming and it will only be shade leaf's if needed . Most of the training is done as well .

Now the CKMTxCKMT . This girl is behind showing sex by about a week , What I have done here is trimmed pretty hard as I only want the top colas .

It is Sunday here and the rain has stopped so I am back in the yard , have heaps of repotting to do , and I might even cut some tress down , depends how stoned I get as I don't want another misshape Plus the wife is going to work , so I can play the music up loud.

 

[hecno]

Them some nice Roots you got there

 

[Bob's Auto's]

Healthy roots my friend and I've also started to use insect frass from this year, probably because of your posts, don't know, stoner hehe...
I've bought it in a pelletized form though (Frazor), which is what I could get where I'm at. It's for professional growers, so the amounts you have to use are low enough validating the purchase of the product. Don't know if it aids in production, but I do know the worms love it. So if they are happy, my soil is happy and the rest comes all by itself
