Hello Ace family,
I am very happy to have improving health. I'm going to try and do my most focused grow yet, since I'm no longer a slave to the workforce and daily grind.
As usual I start with pre-grow preparations.
What do I need?
Why do I need it?
When do I need it?
What would make it better? Then ask yourself the first three questions again.
FUNGAL REPOSITORIES
What are they and how do they work? Why do they work better?
Without going into great detail that can be found in my thread

Your root system has a symbiotic relationship through (exudates)
Exudates through chemical signals communicate with soil microbial life and bring requested nutrients to the root tips for consumption. Nutrients stick to the microbes and the exudates physically clean the microbes and release them back into the soil with a new or existing nutritional need.
Understanding this simple principle changes the dynamics of your environmental conditions. Now your focus is how can I benefit the microbial life in my soil?
Most growers go flying off the rails here trying to (Super Tune) with every hyped fertilizer, growth hormone, or the latest greatest Teas dreamed up by SuperBudMan!
PAUSE, TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
TEA'S DO'S AND DON'TS
1. Tea's are linear in degradation. This means the moment you combine the ingredients together, the dominant microbes eat their preferred food souce until it's diminished. Then another microbial group becomes the dominate group and eats it's preferred food source.
This cycle continues until the tea is depleted of nutrients. While not all microbial groups wait to eat, the rates that each nutritional sources are depleted is determined by microbial density of each population.
You will notice that my first feeding of the Fungal Repositories is bananas and potatoes (Potassium)? WTF farmerlion that's needed during flowering...correct?
The sugars are already converted into usable sources. I will move towards watermelons and berries once they are available in local markets. The bananas and potatoes will be needed and used now as the plants need them. Upon flowering in the plants timing, not ours. The Potassium needs will be available without notice by the exudates.
Ps. I use lake water for my watering.
In my 35 and 45 gallon grow bags, I poke thumb sized holes 12" deep with an aluminum rod. You can make new holes daily while you are preparing the soil before you place your seed into the grow medium.
Once an established plant with roots working throughout the bag I stay with the same four repositories, one on each side of the plant. The repository colonies are established and like an assembly line working for your specific plant needs filling orders placed/communicated by the exudates.
One small cannabis seed knows more inherently than I ever will when it comes to growing. Don't let your pride and hyped gimmicks keep you from having the best cannabis possible for your medical or recreational needs. There are several growing styles and growers that I have great respect for. Be it indoors, outdoors, hydroponics, aquaponics, DWC etc.
I don't by any means claim to walk on water, I do think I can see the water from where I'm walking. lol
This last picture is of a volunteer seedling from last season. From the bag it came up in it should be a Phitsanulok Thai x Ogers Kush. So I'm letting it do it's thing and see what happens. I hope you find what I'm doing and how I do it interesting.
