Growing and going full tilt No Till

That concerns me oldjarhead100. Most of the designs and I’ve looked at many different ones are designed to be broken down for cleaning of all organic matter to prevent it from going anaerobic and contaiminating your brew. The easier it is to take apart and put together again the better the design.
For example this commercially available Posiden AACT Brewer. https://youtu.be/zWS2zBtKu8Q
 
Integrated Pest Management IPM. Using folier sprays and amendments ie Neem oil, herbs ie mint family or even beneficial bacteria, fungi, etc. and other things like worms, lady bugs. Your new tea brewer will be great for creating these witches brews.

I saw a really good IPM/ organic technique I want to try, while looking through Jorge Cervantes Youtube channel. He brewed up a big batch of compost tea with beneficial microbes added to it, and just sprayed the shit out of all his plants, especially under the leaves. Said it acts like a barrier of good life forms, that help prevent pests. Mold, disease, insects, have a much harder time taking a foothold when your leaves and soil are already loaded with the good stuff.
I have read about mushroom growers doing the same thing, once the medium is colonised by the fungi strain you want, there just isn't room for the undesirable molds and such, idea seems to make a lot of sense, so I want to give her a try, I already have the vermicompost tea, thanks to inspiration from this thread Paracelsus!
 
That's a really good thread, thank you for posting it!!
I've been learning to garden organically since I was a little kid, and it has always struck a cord with me, now the more I learn about it later in life, and now that I grow Cannabis, the more it all is making sense to me, especially with the no till concept.
It's really about changing the way we see the universe and the world we live in, people have been looking at living things, as singular, when they really are all more of a composite organism, a community, kind of like lichen, for instance, interdependent. Trees don't become trees without symbiotic Fungi, and earth worms can't digest there food without the bacteria in there gut. The whole thing works beautifully when it is in balance with all its parts intact, and can work the way it was designed to.
Cool stuff, keep posting!

The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good
 
I finally got some pictures of that new worm bin, and my greenhouse posted, if you want to check it out. I named my thread "Sitting on some Organic Fertilizer, or "my plants have my back"

There goes the neighborhood and most of my view, peace and quiet will be a thing of the past as they ready the foundation of another new 15 story low income housing building.
 
FYI FREE ONLINE COURSE
Oregon State University
PERMACULTURE

Begins April 23rd 2018
Just in time for Earth Day, which in my book is everyday.
If anyone else on GWE is interested in taking the course we can use my FYI thread and the GWE Forum to collaborate.

In this free, online course, you’ll learn about the process, ethics, and principles of permaculture while diving into climate-specific design elements through interactive technology, videos, graphics, and readings. Permaculture design is a method of landscape planning that can be applied to anything, from a home garden or farm to a city block or entire village. Permaculture uses design principles from nature itself and takes into account such things as how indigenous people used the land. This course is designed to benefit everyone regardless of learning style, time commitments, or available technology. Expect to spend between two to four hours each week on coursework.
OBJECTIVES
  • Define what the permaculture design system is, as well as its ethics and principles.
  • Organize the order of the permaculture design process.
  • Diagram elements of watershed, sector, and zone maps.
  • Identify design elements appropriate for each climate.

Course is offered by Oregon State University.

There is definitely something wrong with that one plant, have you checked the ph of the soil? I was thinking it could be ph issue or nitrogen burn or windburn or copper deficiency that is my opinion. How has it been on recovery?
 
It looks much better it actually look very good this morning much improved but the damage to the leaves is there and there isn’t much new growth. I am concerned there is not much more I can do at the moment so I will wait till I can get some amendments and maybe a ph pen. I’m giving all of them six hours of total darkness now and 18 lights on. Going lighter on the water but more often and I punch some holes in the bottom of the pot In case it’s a drainage issue.
Another major concern is the new growth is very strange looking. I am worried mostly that the new growth looks stunted and gnarly at the place I FIM’d it last week.
