Hi Vlad

Have been running low ph for a long time and find that the bio filter changes and will still work plus plants like

this low ph was done over a long period

this is using tilapia

also there is a government greenhouse operation in Canada that has done the same as I have

Have been able to breed tilapia at very low ph with good success

Thanks for the friend request Vlad!  I didn't realize we weren't already friends.  :)

Yes Vlad, that appears to be alfalfa. How much can you get/ send me? I am interested in the clover seeds you mentioned as well. I think we can try one pound of each first to test Chinese Customs before we try sending larger volumes.

Anything, any type of open pollinated seeds would be welcome. Clovers fit the bill nicely. Any luck with Alfalfa?

PS

That is a kewl looking system and looks like it is easier to resolve after each grow cycle than the old colossuem which took a lot of hydrogen peroxide to clean out the dead roots. The price of this contraption is simply way too expensive for any but those that grow pharmaceutics.

Thank you my friend, I need both dormant and non dormant Alfalfa most desperately followed by Ladino Clover and Birdsfoot Broadleaf Trefoil. Timothy Grass, Milk Vetch, Lucerne and other high protein, open pollinated grasses would also be most welcome. (I need a total of around one hundred pounds of grass seeds but think it may be unreasonable to ship such quantities without hassle from customs). I have had seeds shipped here in five gallon buckets with no problem but anything bigger may be considered commercial and may need testing/ certification etc. Please send only as much as you are comfortable with. 

In fact I would be glad to receive any and all open pollinated seeds. I have plenty of Basil varieties but non in bulk so a pound of Basil seeds would be wonderful. Fruit, berries and wild flowers would also make excellent additions. One can never have too many seed varieties/ cultivars.

Of course I would gladly pay for the seeds and shipping but donations in any form would be much appreciated. I appreciate any help but don't want to put anyone out of their comfort zone.

Cheers

NTF working great so far.  Only concern has been the mold growing on the peat cups.  Won't do that again.  Will just resort to Hydroton.  Transplanted some plant remove peat.  This is an experimental system for me to learn on, and having a great time at it.

Hey man, Thanks for your quick reply. It saddens me greatly to learn that even former eastern block countries are being/ have been contaminated and converted to hybrids. I hope there is enough of us around the world to preserve the old way of farming.

At present I have around one hundred and fifty different vegetable cultivar in my seedbank so don't need any per se, but am always interested in expanding my options, especially cold tolerant varieties. In the next few years, I am hoping that I can grow-out most cultivars as seed stock with my new farm. My present garden just isn't big enough to grow more than a one or two of each for food and replenish seed stock for the following year.

Another reason I want so much variety is to conduct an experiment to develop my own strains that would be unique to the local climate, (which may take up to twenty years to develop).

I thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Cheers my friend

Hello Vlad, I was wondering if you can get access to any heirloom (AKA open pollinated) seeds in your area or is everything commercial hybrids? I would like to expand my seedbank and require your help if there are any heirloom seed around.

You seem to have a decent knowledge of what you want.

Suggestion: Since you are remodeling, don't forget to add extra of everything (wiring), just in case, ie if you later want to use 1000 watt lights or more lights. One can never use too much lighting, only too much electricity. Please let me know how I can help you further.

Cheers
