You could contact AKBeanBrains to get more info on those, i'm thinking that they were regular. I would love to hear what AKBB has to say about them.
Hey Cactus Squatter, I give them a big dose to start with. With health issues I was behind in feeding the empty bags. Then my focus shifted to poor germination rates of certain seeds. So honestly my soil is a month behind schedule for a typical season.How often are you giving each plant a smoothie?
They’re looking fantastic so far.
Ncali, hello my friend.You have been busy, farmerlion. Plants look great.
Plant sugars like fructose are so much easier to break down in the human body compared to complex/disacaride sugars like sucrose.... I wonder if it's the same for microbes. Probably not that simple at all.
The microbes are clearly very happy in your bags, and that shows through the plants.
Happy to have found this thread.
What have been some of your favorite and most successful strains in recent years? I'm always curious what's working for people.
All the best, peace and love

I find, that sometimes when a strain has been bred and selected in a specific environment, it sometines only performs well when that environment is duplicated. And sometimes, outside of that environment it seems like the genes are trash.Ncali, hello my friend.
What I have developed in (fungal repositories) understanding the soil food web as Dr.Elaine Ingham calls it, is how everything compliments each other. Everything is magnified, strengths and weaknesses. One breeder a couple years ago sent me two outdoor strains to consider. In a very short time it was obvious to me that these were poorly grown indoor strains that had no vigor at all. I had to cull all but one plant. In early August it finally started to grow properly, day late and a dollar short.
I had stopped updates on these strains as not to undermine a breeder wrecklessly. It's possible the genetics he sent could've been an oddity. Like a racecar with carburetor problems, it's going to stumble, pop and backfire when you stand on it.
Liked genetics that really take off are Aces Lebanese and Kali China. There's several more Ace gear I really enjoy. CBG, Peyote Purple and Destroyer are amazing genetics. This CherryBomb from Mr.Greenjeans is exceptional and the Grape Highland Nepalese from Green Mountain seeds is remarkable. The Blueberry x Blue Thai and Blue Thai are at the top of my favorites list for sure. Those are the strains I would try and save from a burning house.
This morning I had to cull a really nice looking plant. It was a hybrid cross I did from last season. It was a Gdubb x Purpura Regina. This morning it had little balls forming in clusters everywhere. So I took one last picture and said goodbye.
