Yea, but if your soil is balanced and your root starts are on point, then that's the start to some next level shit right there. I think we can all agree however your soil is really the most important thing besides genetics maybe, right?

Sorry for snarking bulldog! I discovered my biggest girl being devoured today by cannapillers and lost a few colas. I'm feeling a right grump.

I don't understand why someone would think just because they followed someone else's mix, that means success. You can have the best most balanced soil in your holes but if you plug them with shitty root rotted starts what do you expect besides sick and dying plants.

If you are a bad farmer, then the consequences will be on you and you will not be able to blame the soil. But with a theoretically good soil such as the Coot's mix has provided over the years, the chances of screwing up the crop are diminished and the blame can only go on the farmer. In this manner maybe we can get the thread back on track from complaints concerning the EWSF to relevant and advancing information such as Sap tests and other ground breaking information.

I know the pain from this year and I feel it with all the others too that were depending on a good crop. If we get the soil right first time, then we can only blame ourselves if the crop fails. I have had my day in the sun, and only want to help others prevent what happened to me this year. I am only praying that "Coots Mix" works or I am in deep shit, LOLLLLLL. But with another site selling "Coots Mix" amendments that Coot is involved with, and Michael Astera commenting on the mix, I think we are safe there. We are sourcing the exact same ingredients.

Thank you for the offer and I will present it to Rare Earth today at our meeting. It is nice to see the community gathering together for results that we can all be proud of.

The neem seed I can get comes from Ferti Organic , it's extremely high quality and usually less than a dollar a lb.

The Crab , rock dusts etc., I can get from Oregon again in super sacks LTL / FTL that means Less Than Load or Full Truck Load

By Thursday morning the King fire was 73,000 acres and had spread 15 miles overnight to the northwest. 5% containment. California' drought is considered exceptional, the worst rating there is. It's been dry for several years, and more and more people are moving to the area, so that's part of the dry well problem.

They said that this fire is unstoppable. I dont believe in capital punishment, but this guy that started this on purpose needs to be put on the capital lawn, tied to a tree, while every family that lost a home in the fire lines up to let this guy HAVE IT!
5 million $$$ a day to fight it. Then you have all the damage to homes and structures and all the crops that are lost that farmers were 100% depending on.
My heart goes out to all the families that are screwed cuz of this evil guy.

So my auto black out is almost done , the package from envirotech is cool but it's hard to get all the parts on site from them because they purchase everything from different suppliers and try to put together a turn key package but they don't make sure everything is at their site prior to shipping to you so it's taken me since April to finally get all the parts I need here...Really looking forward to having it done.

There did't used to be fires like this every summer in CA. Now its the norm.

Bad forest managing.

I agree bad forest management. However, the number of fires hasn't changed in 20 years. The acreage burned by these fires has gone up however. Bad forest management.....

BYF - Hope your auto greeny lasts longer than it took them to finish the job. If so, that should make you a very happy camper. Did you deal with Idan? What a piece he is.

I REALLY dislike Idan Bearman with a passion. This guy is literally the worst at is job. His sole purpose is to make sure that orders are packaged correctly and shipped out correctly. He fails at this purpose miserably. Another thing that he is horrible about is customer service.

At this point I just refuse to deal with him in any way shape or form and make Zev take care of everything, as he is the President of EGS...every department is his responsibility

I haven't even been able to start on my project until this past month when they finally got enough parts on site.

Fisher and a few of my other friends had a really good experience getting their stuff from EGS , why? They went down to Richmond and picked their stuff up themselves.

Envirotech puts a good package together, but they don't make anything themselves. Their structures come from Rimol , their fabrics from Ludvig Svensson , light traps and fans from ACME Ag , and black out system from Total Energy Group...

Zev tries really hard to correct all of the mistakes his people make but it can't be a sustainable business model to do such a poor job of taking care of your customers.

Not sure about the other stuff but if their fabric wasnt from Ludvig Svensson I would fault them, LS is top quality, most gh companies will use their fabrics. Seems like they are they are the hydro store of greenhouse co's, do they cater primarily to the ganja biz? Why not go with rimol directly?!

That's a great summation of envirotech. Even in the future I wouldn't use a Rimol house.

The ground post and bow diameter is Pinner.

My next houses will come from nexus or agratech
