i eat meat too, and grow hydroponically
i accept that i am mean and a hypocrite, its all part of being human imo
although i am happy for others to seek/live their view of perfection
if they think they live without flaws, good luck with that

as my old nan used to say "some people think their shit don't stink"

peace

This is true. I agree you do not need to add as much to your mix as Rev suggests. I think it has to do with his use of very small pots. Organic growing surely does not have to be as complex as he makes it out to be.
I have a friend who I trade clones with who added no layers or spikes to his basic mix & gave his plants nothing but water and some cal mag. His plants did better than mine this run probably because I couldn't resist the urge to dump bottled shit on them. I still have much to learn apparently but I feel that TLO is a great primer into organics. That is if you are coming from a bottled nutrient mindset.

yeah definitely agree on the making things more complicated than needed...

have you ever ran small pot flowers? i never was a fan of them nor did i really preach it much.. but now 90% of my flowers are always in 2 gallon pails (they hold 3 gallons in media so technically they are three gallons...) but i rarely like to flower in anything larger just because of the veg time i do.. if your not veging over 1-1.5 months i suggest small bucket grows when they are done properly. but thats me.

hahaha my mother - in - law literally tells people "i try to always live my life by the bible!" hahahah she's such a prude, liar... and many others things id like to call her.. but she truly thinks she lives her life to perfection and has no flaws... i can't stand it. she does the same for her kids puts them on a golden pedastle in front of people and try's to one up other peoples families... just so her and her kids lives seem better than yours...

View attachment 3440204 View attachment 3440205 supersoil in a one gallon pot. I really cant say the revs methods are real tlo and neither would be supersoil. My outdoor grow is tlo and that soil is actually alive and moving.

i have to be honest as all hell your rooting system is extremely good.. but your plant health just isn't there.. IMOP.. this is what i don't get about peoples soil mixes.. there shouldn't be a in-between when its made and ran properly.

I find the Rev's soil mixes to be very overwhelming for a newb and with alot of unnecessary amendments that an experienced growers knows he doesnt need. Plus who wants to dig out a book to read the crazy recipe everytime you wanna mix up some soil. Man, 1/2 cup of this, 3/4 cup of that, 2 cups this...urghh. No time for that. Same goes for spikes and layers. Even his tea recipes are nuts. If i've learned one thing about organics it's to keep things simple and put the plant in charge. Truth be told, the Rev can grow some killer bud but so can I. He is a super cool cat though and one hell of a nice guy with a fine stable of genetics.

What in between? That was supersoil so I posted it. I was actually quite impressed with how it did for just using water. Why do you say it looks unhealthy.

really?? this is a two gallon bucket.. with our system... which is a soil system... veg should never have a bad look to it.. a monkey should be able to keep a plant hearty as hell in veg especially when running soil systems properly. but thats my opinion image2 6.JPG
