being in a business can make you cynical, especially if it's a scene you really care about. try not to let the bad bits spoil it for you and make you angry. Keep calm and carry on....
i know its easier said than done sometimes...

I don't see any connection to Vietnam, Walter.
Well, there isn't a literal connection, Dude.
Walter, face it, there isn't any connection.

I use a greenhouse supplier that will definitely have those. I have been eyeballing the deep cell trays for awhile, but they only sell in bulk. I often get free stuff by asking for a sample, but that was when I was using pro mix and throwing it on my lawn after one use, so they loved me. I haven't bought anything from them all year, so they might change their tune.

do you guys get this product in the states? called haxnicks rootrainers?
https://www.icmag.com/ic/rootrainers
similar to what you are showing but they are hinged and have ridges that stop the roots circling and send them down.
i use them for starting peas and beans etc that like a deep root system

thread cleaned up a bit. regulars in this thread don't want it to turn into a shit fest. pls keep it on track.
Well I kinda started the whole deal with my joke post, I'm gonna offer my perspective, I'm a sysadmin, and I deal with horrible noobs for a good part of my day, it's easy to forget that people just don't know what you know, and sometimes offer suggestions which make you roll your eyes on a good day (or want to strangle them via internet)..
Just take a long deep breath (works really well if you hold a lit joint to your lips while doing so) and relax. If a bee flies into your growroom you wouldn't chase after it with a rolled newspaper or bug spray.. just open a door and shoo it out, they serve a purpose just like everything else in nature.. just maybe not in here.

I would like to apologize to the posters here for my somewhat inflammatory post.
To Gascanstan,
I recognize you are a smart person, I just had an issue with your modus operandi. In retrospect, fighting insults with insults get's us nowhere.
We need not let our passion over shadow our mission.

Agreed
Where have you guys been all my life?! lol
Took me a week to catch up reading this whole thread and all I gotta say is WOW!
Thanks for all this knowledge guys! Always been striving to implement my organic growing conditions. This thread nailed it!
After reading it all of it I went aheaad and pleaced an order for some Comfrey roots and some nettles, some alfafa seeds, a bottle of Lilly of the desert Aloe Juice and some Protekt...
I already have some Alfafa and Kelp meal sitting here!
Quick questions about the botanical teas... Is it safe to foliar feed plants that are already in mid flower? Got a bunch of girls OD that I'm thinking of spraying them some KELP/Aloe tea... Most of them are in different stages of flowering...
Regarding the teas,
From what I understood I need to mix 2 tbsp aloe juice per gallon of water.
Regarding the Kelp/Alfafa tea, I take a 1/2 of each and throw on a 5 gal bucket and let it sit for a 3 or 4 days and then dilute 1 cup to 1 gal of h20? Is that right?! Do I need to bubble this bucket or I don't have to?!
Would it be smart to use the kelp/alfafa for the plants flowering or should I ditch the Alfafa and do a kelp botanical tea only? Can I also mix the Kelp tea with the Aloe juice and do 1 application only?
I went back and looked for this answers but couldn't find some of them... Maybe I'm just too stoned?!
Thanks for all the knowledge once again. This thread been mind blowing, wish I had access to all this info a few years ago but better late than never!

I absolutely love the teas
I absolutely love the teas
Pretty sure I don't have one of them there Miracle Grow deficiencies.
Probably be sticking with comfrey and kelp for the rest of the ride.
edit...tests reveal a base cation saturation for Ca right at 67%. Have not quite let go of me old ideas just yet. But I am starting to wrap me brain around it

These look nice for sending out trees for tree farming. Do you know whether they come in a quick bio-degrade format?

on my hunt for yucca extract....
GS
I used to buy non-preservative Yucca Extract from T & J Enterprises in Spokane. His price on a gallon is around $80.00 (plus S&H)
However, a couple of months ago a friend in San Diego told me about Green Plant Fuel (based in San Diego) and they have a pure, unadulterated Yucca Extract for $25.00 per gallon (plus S&H)
Both products use the correct species - Yucca schidegera which is not always the case in commercial products.
"Read the label"

This company doesn't have that type but I know that they're available. I'll look this week at the show. Pretty much everything is there for commercial nurseries and then some.....
Would you like some freeze-dried compost tea to try? LOL

Not that brand but definitely in that style.
I want some of the Comfrey-Kelp pellets sold in your part of the world. The gardening products over there are way advanced compared to the US.
Pitiful actually
CC
Im glad you said something, I was just coming to the forums to search for "green plant fuel" to see if anyone had mentioned it and how it compares, before I order from T&J .....
Appreciate it,
GS
