@@Ssomeguy please dude if you edit your post say what you edit 👍 thx… the title of the vid : Top Reason Why Biochar Doesn't Increase Crop Yields…. as i said if you put bio char and even more with char waste not correctly acivated it will acts in soil like a vampire...drinking all nutrients it can at each watering….until it is properly activated. there is only one Reason 😄 after this is just a question of good tips in order to activate it at the best 🙏

@Eauderay, hey your words sounds great !! take a look on my quick kush diary...it is the demonstration on the first state of a germinating seed process… Natural mycos and trichos lost ground this last century in permaculture because of the productivism philosophy built by a lot of manufacturers…. it is a wrong way to think correctly to my point of view…. i am here to show the best way to produce yield, quality and this with so much less nutrients than usual...👊

Eauderaycommented5 years ago

@Budofpray, interesting link! I also stopped buying trichos because it is already in my soil. I don't think it is possible to replicate what nature's does outside in my 20liter pot? You might starve beneficial who need extended plants connections between many species to truly be beneficial, it is perhaps taking more than it can give in small containers like mine? The only thing I would buy is to improve my grow room air intake/ cooling capacity and co2. But I am always interested in those products and people that tries! maybe there is one out that does! Also if you want to remove excess heavy metals in soil or water like uranium you can use Zeolite or bentonite clay. Zeolites are used in Fukushima!!!

@Budofpray,Looks like your off to a great start I will follow this grow for the next 100 weeks or so according to my estimate. Yes there's always one in the bunch sometimes seedlings don't want to pop off the shell and open up.Probably a weak seedling. Not worth wasting your time and effort on them when they do that.

Yoo dude !! it s pleasant to see that you've done some researchs 👍 I just take a look to your vid...it's exactly the philosophy it's a question of building a soil really effective … i took time to read more precisely your diaries. as you said our ways présents real similar things...but if i understand well, your pleasure is to do homemade stuff to grow your plant right ? but you still do a mistake if you keep thinking that coal wastes is rougly similar to bio char…if you used this it will take looooong time to be really effective in your soil...even if you have mix with some cool amendments….as the guys say in this video after doing his mix, he let sit FEW MONTHS to active worms and microbiens activity… i'm going to show my own experimental way to activate bio char in 10/12 days…. and stay stuned because i think this can also be done differently based on specific tea 👍 🙏

@Budofpray, Yes I know that stuff, I burned it with fire for a while. The "activation" or "charging" or "inoculation" process is populating the char with fungus and bacterias. That's also to some extent a reason why it uses and needs nutrients for a while (the microbes use a lot of it, too), since biochar itself has quite a limited nutrient/mineral profile. Edit: Biochar is not difficult to understand or make, especially if you're not doing it for industrial purposes. The basic principles are to not let it get too hot, and to not let it burn to ash (usually with some methods to slowly and consistently burn the material, such as covering and water and putting the fire out at the right time, roughly). I know, that's pretty crude, but then, I do things very simply, if I can. And so far, it's been working. I also believe there are reasons to have sort of "impure" biochar, with some nice ash and some semi-burnt materials, as they also have their own beneficial effects.

@@Ssomeguy, ok buddy !! if you think you do the right things for activating i'am happy for you 👌 but which seems to me easy to understand that is bio char is not a name given to char made with bio plant material as you burn and colonised by microbes as you say… the name bio char is produced after a specific pyrolised burn process : you understand ? to make bio char you have the slow pyrolisys (traditional pre colombian technics wich produce a dirt low quality bio char and modern technics wich produce big yields high quality clean bio char) and the flash pyrolisys wich is the modern quick technique with high pressure… it's formed under complete exclusion of oxygen at a range temps between 700 and 1800 ºF according to the techniques used ! did you do that for your char ?? these techniques change the physical properties of the char...that's why i posted a micron pics of the bio char to show the sponge aspect wich is one aspect of his new physical properties. not hard to understand😉 Anyway if you think what you do is the best...this is the most important buddy 👍

@Budofpray, He says it activates within about 2 weeks (even with very simple things), but longer is typically better. Also, that's JUST the biochar, sitting there, alone. And it's not coal waste. It's burnt plant material (char), which was sourced and made in this yard from trees and stuff. It becomes "bio"char as it gets populated by microbes, not so hard to understand. I already have good soil, added compost, feeds, etc. So, I might as well let the biochar sit on my topsoil, and the microbes from my soil (other than from the mixed in compost) can start populating it, while I also gradually feed it. Mine's been sitting on the (top) soil, around the plants for about 2 weeks now. It should already be somewhat activated, considering the huge amount of microbial activity and already good soil, nutrients I have here. Think about it, I already have LOTS of trichoderma, bacillus, earthworms, very varied nutrients etc in my soil. So I just added the char (mixed with compost and other nutrients) over that, mainly as filler actually, but I'm pretty sure it'll get activated just the same, maybe even quicker than usual.

Hay man! Thanks for viewing my diary! I'd be happy to give you my experience with this plant, sharing knowledge is key. Firstly, I had an extremely vigorous veg period, she really shot up quickly. Side branching was strong and she also responded very well to topping. The flowering stretch was the biggest I've ever seen, a real doubler. I was sent these seed and nutes by RQS as a promo, and the nutes I'm using are the "easy boost organic nutrition" which go in your soil mix and slow release over 12 weeks. And in conjunction with that I'm also using "easy combo booster pack" which has veg and bloom soluble tabs in a pack together. They're not cheap, so not sure if I'd use again before trying something more traditional. That backbuilding technique you mention is intriguing. It is so simple, but I see how it would work. Might be a good way to try and prevent foxtailing. Gonna do it on my stardawg this week, see how it goes. Will keep you posted with any info I have. Peace bro ✌️

@Ashbash, you totally connect buddy….👏 👍 foxtailing is not really a bad thing at all on my point of view…. depend of so much parameters due to the gen/pheno/environment/light etc... and because in addition very often it is difficult to manage properly...😒 but with this technique i'am sure that if we are on the good timing we can have better Density and size

Ashbashcommented5 years ago

@Budofpray, Yea man, that's the exact article I read after you mentioned it. One of my plants might be a bit past that point now, and the others way too soon, but there doesn't seem to be any downside to trying. At worst you'll lose a fraction of a gram of bud from what I understood, and thats if the buds have stopped growing.

@Ashbash, thanks man ! did you read the 420 magazine trhread that JJjunior mentionned ? you have to do that at right timing to be fully effective and it may depend on blooming stage duration 👌 🙏

hey bird of prey, try what i did in my 1st week, give her some time, see if the cotys come free and then gently lift them free after moistening with water. if her cotys don't rise up at all i'm of no experience.

thanks for the info brow, im using endo mycos for the first time and the growth in various plants im growing (only one being cannabis) is very aggressive! The cannabis is the one that is mostly strong and taking advantages of their friend mycos, the roots are all white and big at the bottom of the pot. I will be following along this one too... happy growing! tchau, do Brazil

I did not say you were controlling everything in your grow...i think you are misunderstanding me, I agree with you and bird of prey, I am not trying to argue with you on such small points because it seems we agree on many crucial points...just trying to understand why it works for you when it clearly did not for me! How everything even clones react so differently to their environment! When I was lowering water ph my plants always suffered/dying in mid flowering stage unlike those I did not including tomatoes and salads! For chlorine I just let the water cool down to ambient temperature, does it remove enough of it so I do not experience problems? There is surely simple answers and ways to do things...like the link you provided about DIY biochar! So let's stop arguing but sharing experiences and try to understand why it works this way or another!

Ssomeguycommentedweek 15 years ago

@Budofpray, I was checking something about simple biochar activation, got to this video: https://youtu.be/1UiW3-IMfME?t=464 I did roughly something like that (my char is a mix, some ash, mostly burnt pieces and then some pieces not entirely burnt so it's not purely just biochar, I'm confident it's more than good enough though). But anyway, I used mulberry leaves, compost, urine mixed with it. I didn't even know I should do something like that. So it's gonna gradually activate over the next few months. Other than that I do feed the soil sugars, carbs, compost and plant teas as well as other random stuff though so a lot of it will likely activate fairly quickly and the soil was loaded with stuff before (vermicompost, compost, many kinds of carbs, basalt, plant debris etc). The guy in that video also uses basalt with his biochar, which I've used fairly extensively and I think basalt is quite effective.
