    Ya take the MG back. Go buy a 50 pound bag of alfalfa pellets for $10-$15. Throw a couple handfuls in a five gallon bucket and let it sit. Water with the water then dump leftover on top of soil as top dress. Or just fill back with water and reuse material.

    Beautiful plant!

    Side note as well.. that monster tomato is planted ontop of my deceased pet rabbit from a year ago!! She’s contributing possibly?

    I started the no til in October. I had already started worm bin a year earlier for this purpose in mind.

    Once you get it working it’s so simple you wonder if your doing it wrong. Check your local water report also. Just to be sure your PH isn’t horrible. If it is citric acid goes a long way and is fine to use.

    Alfalfa and chicken manure are your cheapest nutes!

    Make sure you mulch!

    OOIH something about getting in the beds and working that field puts a spark in my soul and i love it too much for a no till area, it is a very cool concept though .. perhaps when i get a bit fed up with gardening . Looking great !!

    The new organic line from MG is fine from what I've read but keep in mind the company you are supporting by buying it.

    i dont think you grow-bros would have as much success with your MG and other products mentioned if you were growing in a container for ~4 months.

    i could be wrong but i'd bet against it. not knocking your style but i am suggesting that a soil chemistry is going to behave differently in a container than it will in the outside open ground.

    plants are looking real good! great job!

    Monsanto = General Hydroponics (GH) They bought it up a little while ago. They were their largest competitor in the cannabis field.

    Monsanto is the devil. Hybrid F2 seeds (tomatoes, etc.) that require you to buy seeds from them every grow. They are scarf up the copyrights for cannabis landraces so that they hold the future of everything crossed. Did you notice MG new organic line? Also, every single person in California has roundup in their body, But the politician, the environmentalist, don't do anything to stop it. The governor, all the way down to city council.

    I read about a couple being awarded 2billion in damages caused by monsantos round up in oakland a few months ago, yet nothing was done by the company to try to prevent it from happening again. Which is cleary insane
