muffintop Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's how plants should be grown in my opinion, no more bottled nutrients in this house at all now. I moved to no-till from coco and it's the perfect fit for me, very low maintenance. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRider Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) I've always used PM Granules. Was wondering what I could replace them with when I start NTG. I know that TNC do a range of different myco's but wasn't too sure what was best. I'd seen some recommendations around the forums for certain ones but just today heard something interesting on youtube I thought was worth mentioning here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0ZNvJIcRSs&t=46m25s I'm not sure if the video will start at the right point, so it's 46mins 25 seconds in that you want to look Edited April 2, 2016 by SkyRider 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffintop Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Nice one! You learn something new all the time in this hobby. I would stick it in the freezer for 24 hours to remove any eggs though, I do this with my mealworm bin frass.

muffintop Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Only a small plastic critter carrier, I use them to feed the birds. I use a couple of screens to filter, so it is quite fine. I follow the ecothrive instructions as it is the same: foliar:half a teapsoon to 1 teapsoon in 1 litre of water, stir for 1 min, leave for 15 mins, stir for 1 min, leave for 15 mins, strain and apply.watering in:Add 10-20ml per litre of waterStir thoroughly for one minute. Water the pot well until run-off occurs. Repeat every two to four weeks or as the crop needs. top dress: 1 tablespoon.
