      Presentation lack ESSENTIAL compout - information about biochar.
      In the past both forests and grasslands burn every year feeding the soil with fresh soil. Now NOTHING like that is happen :(

      Harley, thank you so much!!! I am so glad I saw one of your videos. Cause now I am going to watch them all!!! I was thinking about how to find what causes different traits in plants of the same strain grown in different soils around the world. I watcha a video you did. I think it was 1:45 long. And from what I am learning from you makes me think I was right in my layman thinking. Must be a michigander thing 😁. I am in the Cadillac area. Hope you will do a presentation in the area someday, I would love to catch one. Have you ever thought about getting involved with Ihemp of michigan. They have zoom presentations every week and we hemp farmers could greatly benefit from your awesome knowledge!
      Thanks again kind sir. And have a great day!!!!

    I did a cycle and fed with only brewed tea I compiled from bone meal, fish meal, guano insect frass, castings, molasses, green sand, etc. I let the tea brew for months adding to water , sugars and some dead leaves. Also I used coco media indoors. I would stir the sediment then feed. The tea was kept in a dark cool place and had lots of aeration. I used this type feeding for a whole 3 months indoor and had the best results ever. Close to 3lbs per 1k and the same strain I always use came out with a much gassier terps and was more oily and more potent then before. I have not used synthetic nutes for years.

    HARVEY as always YOU ROCK!!!
    It amazes me for how long, how far ahead a few people in my business have been. Those families that have grown the reputations for the BEST PRODUCT have tried to teach this same concept to people for decades. The only thing that I don't agree with is that THIS HAS ***ALL*** BEEN AROUND FOR MANY DECADES at least in the circles of growers that I know. I stem from a third generation group of growers that have taken growing to a form of art. THAT ALL STARTS WITH THE SOIL!
    True top quality product TAKES TIME, MONEY AND EXPERIENCE that the average grower will rarely ever invest enough to really understand where this rabbit hole begins. It takes TIME, MONEY AND DEDICATION to learning what Harvey here has preached for a very long time
    You know what I've always loved about Harvey's teachings, he's NEVER GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE HE'S STOPPED LEARNING!!!
    THANKS AS ALWAYS!!!

    Harley, do you think that over time a monoculture partnered with a robust, healthy soil biome will sculpt the environment to better suit the monoculture? If the plants strategy is to drop seed rather than be consumed it wouldn't the strategy be not only preparing the seed, but feeding exudate for next generation and mulching the soil for its seed as well? Do you think the immunological benefits of the soil-root history (and leftovers of the former root system living soil community) would make the new symbiote more or less susceptible to disease?
