Damian, I'm wondering if your experiment is showing the excellence of gogo juice... or that you don't normally feed enough?
One was treated with go-go juice while the other had none.
Wouldn't it be a fairer test if the control got some additional nutrients to match the gogo juice?

Hmmm,

Not sure. They both received blood and bone as slow release, the go-go was a top up for one of the two. I could have tried it with a three way or five way test but i did not get there. I will have some more clones next year so I can try a more comprehensive test.

I love the smell of Dynamic lifter in the morning. It smells like plants growing. Especially when you leave it in the back of the wagon for a few days in Summer. :o

On the third Day even the young son was agreeing it was a beautiful smell to the disgust of the wife :lol:

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

:lol: There should be a tongue in cheek Ausbonsai movie made.

As the hardened bonsai Artist exits the house to the yard they breathe in deep and proudly announce " I love the smell of Dynamic lifter in the morning " :lol:

fungus gnats love D.L.
