it is no wonder everybody flocks to your banner,the best bud shots on the site!

I wanted to say thank you for all the info you share, it is great, even if alot of it is way above my head. :thumbs:

I had a question about your "active yeast" additive. Are you applying it alive or only after freezing(killing) the yeast. Is it only for foliar spraying? I might be confused but I thought I read an update where you applied it to the soil, am I mistaken? I'm not finding much with my searches and don't understand what alive yeast might do in soil. Thanks again for all the great info!

No problem glad you like what we're doing here And thank you for your question, i have been waiting for someone to ask that since it provides me the opportunity to conclude my 1st tier of the project..

The yeast/algae supplimentation and soil innoculation has been the primary focus of this project, since the nutritional regimen has been built around it. I wanted to attempt to minimize the use of bottled formulations in my operations - to rely more exclusively upon the bio-activity of the soil's micro-culture content as an assistant and major provider for the nutritional requirements of the plants. This is the basis for a 'lab in the soil', or bio-organic approach. I don't believe entirely that the nutritional requirement has been met in this case but the results indicate a true bio-compatibility with these home-brew applications. The cost effectiveness of this approach has been staggering and i would now like to see the effects of using the suppliments alongside well estabilshed regimen such as those recommended by AN and Canna. During this project I applied the yeast as a foliar stragetically throughout the growth period at specific stages in the plant's development.

If you ever have the chance to look at some floral material that has been cultivated outdoors in the natural setting or fertile soil samples from these sites under the microscope you'll quickly find an abundance of these cultures in them. The product we consume does in fact accommodate a variety of prolific micro-clutures referred to as flora on their surfaces and that thought will make some grower's (who's fear of biological organisms infesting their bud) shiver. But do not fear for this is something quite different from an opportunistic pathogen - pathogens choose to attack the vulnerable under the ideal conditions but are more-or-less eliminated from the sample by the native flora during the drying process. Flora proliferation in cannabis products is no less similar to our hands and feet - these too contain prolific colonies of micro-organisms.

I combined both the extract and the live starter with the marine algae and used only very minor ppm as foliar and soil feed providing a surplus macro avalibility to the stomata with additional fish emmusions (<4%). The marine algae extracts as a bio fertilizer containing N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S as well as Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu, Mo, and Co, some growth regulators, polyamines and vitamins applied to improve nutritional status, vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality. Research has revealed in different in orchard as well as vineyards (Abd El-Migeed et al, 2004; Eman, Abd El-Moniem & Abd-Allah, 2008 and Spinelli et al., 2009) that crop productivity and plant disease-resistance peaks substantially following yeast/algae extract applications.

Fornes et al.(2002) reported that seaweed extract increased the yield of Clementine mandarin by 11%, while Chouliaras et al. (2009) recommended the combination of NH4NO3 + borax + yeast in order to increase tree productivity and improve their nutrition status and various olive oil quality parameters. Kulk (1995) and Adam (1999) have reported similar findings - the growth promotion in response to application of nitrogen fixers as cyanobacterium (Nostoc muscorn) found in marine algae could be attributed to the nitrogenase as well as nitrate reductase activities of algae associated with the stomata of plants, or the amino acids and peptides produced in algal filtrate and / or other compounds that stimulated growth of crop plants. The possibility of using the active bread yeast for improving growth and productivity of fruit crops was later mentioned by Suriabananont (1992) and Stino et al. (2009).

However, the various positive effects of applying active bread yeast as a newly used bio-fertilizer were attributed to its own component from different nutrients, higher percentage of proteins, massive amount of vitamin B and the natural plant growth hormone namely cytokinins. In addition, application of active bread yeast was very effective in releasing CO2 into the cannopy which reflected on improving net photosynthesis (Ferguson et al., 1987; Idso et al., 1995 and Hashem et al., 2008). Nowadays, Bread yeasts (Saccharomyces cervisiae) as a natural bio-stimulant appeared to induce an astonished influence on growth and yield of many crops, since it has various basic function, i.e. CO2 production as well as formation of alcohol, acids and esters in soil (Magoffin and Hoseney, 1974 and Martinez-Anoya et al., 1990). Spraying Valencia orange trees with active bread yeast either once on March or August or twice at both dates was favorable (Agric. Biol. J. N. Am., 2010, 1(3): 421-429 422 )in improving growth parameter dominance, fruit setting, productivity as well as fruit weight and volume (Hegab et al., 2005). They added that carrying out two sprays of 0.5% active bread yeast gave the best results with regard to yield and fruit quality parameters.

Ahmed and Ragab (2002) have also supported the beneficial effect of yeast on nutritional status of Picual olive trees. In addition, bio-fertilization is very safe for human, animal and environment to get lower pollution and reduce soil salinity via decrease mineral usage fertilization as well as saving fertilization cost.

Yeast is considered perhaps the oldest known living species on Earth and has given life to a chaos

I like the front cover on this one.. thought it was appropriate

Far out stuff Trifid!

I was wondering Trifid- Are you the guy who wrote Wikipedia?

Seriously though, thanks for taking the time from your tight schedule to share all this knowledge with us. I love it.

 

[Stunted]

I must say Trifid you know how to grow, I nearly passed out while looking at them nuggets!

I was wondering Trifid- Are you the guy who wrote Wikipedia?

Haha.. No worries Noods, i did write for wiki once but they modified it since then lol. Can't always be right with the way things change so much. Not my best subject - difficult to put physics into words Haha.. I just draw pictures most of the time, the squeak of the chalk drowning out the silence in the lecture hall, nobody wants to listen to stories about particle accelerators and dark energy. If they do they are clearly nerds lol.. Plants are much better, they can tell us a great deal more about ourselves. As you can imagine i'm a bit of a sinister character when i lecture physics. I tend not to sleep much anyways it's ingrained in me these days.. So i get to hang out here instead. Good times

 

[Noods]

Well I'm a front-row-nerd then!
You know how you have these pictures in your head of how the forum mates look for you? Well, right from the get go you were Brian Cox in my mind. So, definitely not boring or sleep inducing. Keep it up!

 

[Noods]

... but I do worry that you might not be getting enough sleep...

This is the shit right here! I challenge any of you to show me another growers forum where a grumpy ol' admin is concerned about his members getting enough sleep!

I'm glad to be a part of it!
