Ag-Environmental: 3 Boys Farm in Ruskin, Fl. (USA)

Congratulations Robert! 3 Boys Farm receives Environmental Leadership Award (with VIDEO link)
Last week, Robert and Deborah Tornello traveled to sunny Daytona Beach, and at a breakfast ceremony on Friday, October 15, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson recognized 3 Boys Farm, Saturiwa Conservation Area, and Arapaho Citrus Management with his 2010 Environmental Leadership Awards. Advanced Nutrients Hydroponics

Be sure to see the fantastic video that Rick Lurding--Radio & TV Producer/Director for the Florida Department of Agriculture--made of 3 Boys Farm, which premiered at the breakfast (in Flash). You'll be so impressed, with both the farm itself and the lovely filmography and well-written narrative.

Of course, we're terribly proud of Robert, who's been tirelessly working toward this very green dream for many moons. And in addition to thanking Commissioner Bronson, we'd also like to thank Rick Lurding, as well as Gemy Hinton, and our intrepid crew at the farm, especially Greenhouse Manager Michael Lenas and his assistant, Giancarlo Tornello (Son One of the 3 Boys!)

Is Big Bud Better?

You're likely to be among the 91.7% of growers who use bloom boosters every bloom cycle, so it's natural for you to want to be sure that your boosters give you the biggest yields possible for your garden. Advanced Nutrientd

To be precise, you look for bloom booster effects that include:

1. Larger, heavier, denser flowers

2. Flowers with more essential oils, aromatics, terpenoids, phenols and other potency factors

3. Measurable, significant increases in overall harvest weight and market value

How do most bloom boosters stack up in meeting these goals? Not as well as they could. In fact, until recently poorly-absorbed forms of phosphorus and potassium (P and K) were the main ingredients in most bloom boosters.

Worse yet, almost all bloom boosters have incorrect ratios or types of phosphorus and potassium. Most bloom boosters provide double the amount of phosphorus to potassium. That's not useful. Your plants are much hungrier for potassium than for phosphorus during bloom phase.

And when too much phosphorus is dumped into your plants, it creates a potential for phosphorus toxicity that works against flower production and overall plant health.

Not only that, your crops may taste harsh so they hurt your throat and lungs.

Nutrients For Beginners

Douglas, a grower from Spokane, Washington, had been growing our types of plants for years.

He had recently switched to only eating organically grown fruits and vegetables and loved the health benefits. So he wanted to bring the same feeling into the crops he was growing.

Excited, he started with a common organic fertilizer called Earth Juice... and... in his own words it was "a nightmare"!

Why? There were many reasons. If you've ever tried growing organically before, ask yourself if any of these problems sound familiar...

- It was extremely hard to mix and apply unless he watered by hand which took way too much of his valuable time...

- It smelled horrible, like raw sewage, and made Douglas and his family want to retch whenever they went near the indoor grow room in their home...

- Fungus gnats began breeding in the sludge and spread all over his plants, his house and totally disgusted him and his family...

- While he was getting a decent harvest before with a 3-part synthetic blend, his plants were now pale green, sick looking and he was left with an "overflowing toilet" type situation in his grow room!

- And worst of all, It built up like sludge around his Rockwool and became like what you'd see at a raw sewage treatment plant...
