pepzyme 1/4 tsp

drove photosynthesis so hard it ate the food out of a 5 gallon pot in one month. Plants are two feet taller than I want them
I am starting to think photosynthesis is the only limit on how big we can grow a plant. Since they never pollinate I don't think there is a genetic limit.

Get the crab material very cold, use something like a Vitamixer to blend it up well and add chitinase and probably some protease as well.
If you have crabs, I would suggest visiting a clinic? j/k
in my opinion you're better off using your own formula and then finding a place to mix it for you, saving you lots of work.
if you buy a pre-mixed ...mix, with a formula 'they' make, they're going to be price gouging you in some way and then stuff you don't want to be in it is probably going to be in it, and even if they say 'this' is in it, not all amendments are created equal, pay attention to quality of the amendments. don't pay someone to come up with a formula for you, there are plenty of great formulas for soil mixes out there. this is how people get taken advantage of imo.
I've heard quotes as low as $2 per yard to mix 'your' mix, so have them deliver your peat, aeration such as lava rock, perlite etc, and high quality compost. (i'm using diestel) to the mixing site that you find. then choose your amendments, I posted the mix we're doing this year a couple pages back.
here it is again, I don't think you can go wrong with this one, similar to the CC mix but with some slight changes.
30% sphagnum peat
30% lava rock
30% high quality compost
10% top soil, this you may or may not do, if you're going to have it mixed at a place then this'll probably have to be screened to filter out rocks, I'd contact whatever place you find about this.
for amendments we went with:
1/2 cup neem meal, neemresource.com
1/2 cup kelp meal, Down-to-earth
1/2 cup crab meal, Down-to-earth
1/2 cup gypsum
1/2 cup oyster shell flour
4 cup rock dust, contact thomas vanacore at rockdustlocal, he knows a good hookup for rock dust in california.
that's the amounts per cubic foot, there are 27 cubic feet in a yard.
if you're on a tight budget you can use karanja meal which is slightly cheaper than neem and also probably cut back the rock dust to 2 cups/cu ft.
Will update when things get more interesting.
Exactly! This is only my second OD grow, but I do what I can, and learn as much as possible!
