First grow using Worm Poo as medium

Amazon tent 2 plants both Gold Leaf clones about 2 weeks since flip
Got the lights up a bit more and the tops down some more

Looking like a scrog without the net…kinda

Thanks
It’s a pretty solid structure…I hope

Harvested another one this morning.
A GL clone in a 3 gallon second run pot.
No small buds and all dense and heavy.
This is without any supports in dark room for a day or so


Should be a decent haul

The aftermath.
Gonna run this for a third go soon

Had some cuts from earlier…2 weeks ago and was sitting in water. Plopped her into a 5 gallon second run pot just to see if she roots.

Having issues with my tomatoes :tomato:
Getting black bottoms on some of them and not sure what they need. The clone in there is doing fine and just added a second one yesterday to that 45 gallon pot.

This series on PBS is an eye opener if you can watch them I highly recommend doing so.

Remineralizing Soils for Optimum Elemental Balance

by Carmen Hagen

Remineralization of agricultural land, garden soils and the creation of nutrient dense food with 90-plus minerals is the goal of lifelong advocate of sustainable organic food production, Robert Cain who learned the technology called Sea Energy Agriculture from Maynard Murray, M.D.

Dr. Murray was a medical doctor and research scientist who was troubled by the obvious continual decline of American health and the subsequent flourishment of the pharmaceutical industry. He focused his biological and chemical research to search for reasons for our decreased resistance to chronic illnesses and degenerative diseases.

His studies led him to the sea, where, miraculously, cancer, arthritis, arteriosclerosis and aging on a cellular level seemingly do not exist. He discovered that sea life is sustained in a balanced solution consisting of all 90-plus atomic table elements. Murray observed that one cubic foot of seawater contains considerably more living organisms than an equivalent amount of soil.

Dr. Murray theorized that the apparent difference in disease resistance and vitality between life on land and in the sea is due to mineral deficiencies in our soil and subsequently in our food. He visualized an endless cycle wherein continents rose from the sea rich with minerals. The constant effects of climate—freezing, thawing, rainfall, and erosion—combined with mankind’s historically poor stewardship of the land and increasing acid rain cause topsoil minerals to go into solution. These mineral solutions then enter streams and rivers and subsequently flow into the sea. Murray concluded that these minerals hold the key to human health. Therefore, it made perfect sense to recapture them and restore them to our soils.

Initially, he successfully experimented using diluted seawater on soils and crops. Then he discovered that if water is totally removed from pure, mineral-enriched seawater, 3.5 percent remains as solids. He called these minerals “sea solids” and used them exclusively, during many years of extensive research, on all ranges of crops and soil types. Murray even developed a specialized use of sea solids for hydroponics, and operated a successful 13-acre hydroponics fresh-produce farm in southern Florida. The results were consistently the same: the plants flourished, matured more rapidly, were healthier, were more disease and drought resistant, and produced outstanding taste along with greater yields. In assays testing for nutrients, foods grown with Murray’s sea solids had significantly more minerals (ash content), vitamins (25 percent more vitamin C in tomatoes; 40 percent more vitamin A in carrots) and sugars. In addition, he witnessed the same amazing results in all types of livestock and poultry that were offered feed grown in soil enriched by his sea solids. Physiologically, these animals were healthier, gained weight more rapidly, and reached maturity sooner.

During his 30 years of research, Murray conclusively proved that the proportions of trace minerals and elements present in pure seawater are optimum for the growth and health of both land and sea life. Additionally, he found that once these minerals and trace elements are restored to the soil, reapplication is not necessary for five or more years, given normal rainfall and climatic conditions. Cain, under Dr. Murray’s direction, applied these minerals to both soil and hydroponics food production, and personally tasted and witnessed their outstanding effects.

Since creating sea solids by desalinization of seawater is very costly, Murray searched the earth for the best source of sea solids in their natural form. He required expansive tidal flats on the banks of a mineral-rich, unpolluted sea in an arid region with little or no rainfall. Prior to his death in 1983, he disclosed to Cain the location he had found to be the purest.

In 2005, Cain began mining sea solids from Murray’s source and distributing the product throughout North America. These sea solids now called SEA-90 are listed by OMRI (organic materials and review institute) for use in the production of food and livestock.

Millions of pounds have been applied to pasture, grains, hay, row crops, fruit, nut and ornamental trees, gardens, sprouts of all types, wheat grass, lawns, container plants and offered to all forms of livestock as a mineral supplement with outstanding results. Higher yields, longer shelf life, drought tolerance, improved resistance to diseases and pests, increased vigor and weight gain in animals are just a few of the results being reported.

SEA-90 can be applied to the soil or dissolved and applied as a foliar spray and liquid fertilizer. Cain’s vision is to improve the quality of human health through the food we eat by remineralizing the soil in which it is grown. In his opinion, application of these extraordinary sea solids with their 90-plus elements—the sea’s full spectrum of minerals—to tired and depleted soils, plants and animals is the perfect solution. He believes that as stewards of the land, it is our responsibility to restore the mineral balance to soils and subsequently the foods we ingest.

Cain hopes to convince all stewards of the land to help sustain life on this planet by remineralizing their soils, crops and animals and spreading the wisdom of Sea Energy Agriculture.

Good read.
I use SEA 90 with just about every watering at 1/2 Tsp per gallon.

GDP/NL is similar but hits harder and longer.
Too many variables in my grows to know what to do again both were on a second run in 7 gallon pots and didn’t take notes on what and when I added things.
Have an NA4 getting close and looks amazing too.
Wish I had taken clones from them. Heck they probably would have already been jarred months ago lol.

You had a great harvest even with the issues.
Best job ever haha :laughing:

Your tomatoes have blossom end rot, I think. Could be few things, best to do some googling, I’m a total noob on that front.

Buds look great! :+1:

Some pics of the small veg clones

This one in the cow pot I had set on top of one of the clones and it grew roots into the soil. I was going to let it go and grow that way but after lifting the pot saw how unstable it was and decided to rip her out and plant into the 3 gallon second run pot. I had another clone in there but it didn’t make it so that worked out I guess.




Added some mychorrizae spores and some worm poo with bugs and worms to it when transplanting although is it really a transplant if it’s going in the same pot I dug it out of? Conundrum haha

Added some food for the critters in the soil in the 3 3 gallon pots getting ready for flower time and did a complete soil soak with minor run off and added some more poo from my worm bin and some more critters (bugs in my soil oh no)


Also gave all the ladies some ground up malted barely.

Worm food turns into plant food man I’m glad I have a worm bin. Next to lights it’s the best investment so far.

My IPM is working haha and all organic too.

Put one on right into the cold room for a day or so with just a regular 100 watts light bulb going during day. Put a blue dream in yesterday.

Wanted to share my morning wood

Awesome very interesting thank you.
What about humanure any one experimented with this?

Your welcome @Blackmoon I ran across it again and wanted to share
Humanure haha
I haven’t tried that one yet but have been using my urine for awhile. You know like when your getting ready to water and then you gotta go and well the bucket or the watering can is right there. Healthy urine 10:1 boom.
And it’s just a recycle of what I paid for just like scraps of food for the worms.

Yes yes I use and waste nothing.
I have a composting toilet.
Each contribution is covered with rich compost and dry sawdust it is stored then with worms added for 2 years.
The urine is separated and stored or put onto the garden around trees especially the lemon tree as you say diluted.
When I had more time I was making em ( efficient micro organism)
Rice soaked in water 24hrs then the milk is strained off and molasses is then added to feed the milk stired clockwise anti clockwise basically air rating it by creating a vortex.
Can’t see why the humanure can’t be used.
We put it - the finished product on the lawn around trees and use it when planting trees.
As you say spent money making the pee well we spend more cash making poo then for most it gets flushed away somewhere? With 2 or 3 litres of water used to do so that we end up paying for too.
After 2 years it is rich compost not a sign of poo to be seen. No loo paper or dunny rolls just worms and soil.

Gold leaf clones getting close.
Buds being buds
Some good tunes to look up too

I Jared up one GL couple days ago and had just under 5 zips.
2 NA4 ladies are just about ripe for the pickin.

Off today so spending most of it getting both tents and the closet squared away.
Flower tent 1

Amazon flower tent. Both are GL clones

Veggies in closet all GL clones
The white three gallon pots are second run
Black 3 gallon and 1 gallon are first run in my latest soil mix
Will be filling up the flower tent 1 with these GL clones today and as those in there will be harvested soon will keep adding more.
Look I have 6 bars reception …woohoo calling my cannabinoid system!

Gonna have to bend/break the crap outta that one as it’s about 6 feet tall. Been happy with the GL clones I’ve harvested and the 2 left about done as the chop and trimming is the easiest I’ve had. Nothing but buds and tired fan leaves none of that little stuff.

Keep feeding your cannabinoid system folks and enjoy the day
