1 bag of soil. What goes on from here?

[yungkodama]

I have a lil exp with dog training, at 7 months he is teething.. get him a nylabone, and see if that helps, also if he is tied up or tethered it'll sometimes get dogs to "fixate" on chewing as a way to deal with the anxiety (many dogs don't like being tied up aways from their owner) or in a yard by themselves
last but not least, some dogs are simply social animals (they are naturally of course) so that could also be a form of anxiety from being alone.
some dogs need companion dogs
another is if your dog is highly intelligent that creates challenges as well, with intellect brings curiosity and mischief (just like kids), so if that's the case you need to find those training toys where you can put treats inside rubber toys that are challenging for the dog to pick it out.

Mila has a big sister but she too gets bored -.- ive caught her chewing up the corners. They are just social animals but im around a bit and my girl is to, she just gets really bored when we are gone

she just gets really bored when we are gone

exactly.
it's absolutely normal (but shitty) behavior for a young dog to have separation anxiety at that age.
and that manifests itself as chewing, remember it's sorta the same as people playing cards, video games, etc,
their mouths are their hands so they get "bored" and coincidentally it happens to coincide with teething time too.
Sooooo you end up with furniture-shrapnel everywhere
if she is a real strong chewer (most rottys are) and the other dog isn't a dominant you can usually get cow femur bones from the butcher, best unfrozen, and with the ends cut off, give each of your dogs one of those after lightly cooking it for like 40 minutes at 275 deg or so
just to sorta sterilize it a lil
then get a blanket that you don't care about (it's juicy at first)
put the bones on the blanket and BOOM let em have it
depending on your dog that'll keep em occupied for days
and even after that you can get a disposable pair of chopsticks to dig out the bone marrow in the middle, and the bone is "re-newed" and they go to town again..
I do NOT recommend using pig femurs, they will chew that and splinter it, and that's potentially dangerous.
no canine is gonna splinter a cow femur though
well, past wolf hybrids and hyenas

Shit my house looks like I house a dragon in there, got probably eight or nine chunks of gnawed bones..
whiiiich are quite pleasant to step on in the middle of the night..

I need to find a butcher! Pet stores charge up to $30 for a bone and I have to get 2 and thats $60 plus taxes lol and thats for a decent sized bone to... yeah big sister Luna isnt dominant at all which sucks but its cool shes a great gaurd dogg who was raised outside in the hills of southern arizona shes really on her toes as Mila is the friendlier one that just wants attention.. ill look intobthose cow femur bones tho facts thanks for the advice.. can u shoot me some advice on walking? Everytime they go out they are way to excited and end up getting chocked and get pulled badly even with a harnest -.- i guess to much energy

Havent been able to figure out way the mobile tor app wont send me pictures..

but anyways last night I decided to bump the HID ballast to 75% and the girls did appreciate that thankfully. Looking to firing it up to full 100 soon because those things are soaking it up.. any advice on keeping my medium moist but not moist enough for gnats to come in and lay larvae? Been having a gnat problem outside with our trash and some find there way in. I only find 1 around my room but that just makes me think that there has to be many more around. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

[OldMedUser]

To help keep gnats at bay I pour the water in the tray under the pot and let it wick up into the root ball. If you water with about 80% of the water it would take to really soak the pot good the top couple of inches will stay dry and help keep the gnat adults from laying their eggs in moist soil. They will burrow down to get at the wet stuff tho so some diatomaceous earth on the top will kill them off when they get it on them.

Get some yellow sticky traps to alert you to any adults in the area and kill them before they get a chance to lay their eggs. Stick a couple in the pots and hang one or two on the walls around the pot. Preventing them is much better than fighting them when you have an infestation and much cheaper too.

Approx 25% of the pot's volume is what it takes to soak it well when quite dry so use 20% and you should be good.

I think I know whats going on... i do have a difficieny of some sort I see on some parts of my fan leaves like a dark rep copper tone on some parts. Not to much its similar to a PH difficiency but im not to sure. I want to upload a pic but the tor app wont let me on my phone -.-

Do you use chlorinated tap water?

Reading thru my grow bible here because I knew something caused bronze leaves and it seems chlorine does that if too little or too much. "Roots become stubby, leaves become chlorotic and develop a characteristic bronze color."

If deficient, add chlorinated water it says. Go figure eh.

I dont, I use RO water from a glacier machine im guessing it might be the woodchips in the FFOF i see alot of it but in little debris and not big chunks maybe since its really broken down when I water it intakes the supplements from the wood chips and raises the Ph? Ive always been told my many people to be wary of the woodchips in the ocean forest bags im so bummed i have this one kick ass babie I hope to clone if its a lady shes a real fighter best one in the bunch <3 no damage on her yet so shes a bit resistant or she got good soil. Im stuck with no cash rn so I cant get a ph tester

Way too high pH can lock out most of the micronutrients of which chloride is one. If you have pH down I'd water with 5.5 but if you don't have a meter that's not a lot of help. 2ml pH down in a liter of water wouldn't kill them and they may show some improvement pretty quick.

You got a real puzzle going on and I'm an old Hardy Boy fan from way back. Got a big box here with almost the whole collection from the late 50s and early 60s when I got them for birthdays, Xmas etc. My boys don't want them.

A big problem I've read about with that FFOF is that it's different depending on what facility it's made at because of whatever they use to compost is different all around the country. Compost made by cities is bad to use too because of all the grass clippings from peoples lawns that have been sprayed with all sorts of chemicals. Then they sell that to you to put in your gardens and grow food with. WTF!

A week ago I noticed some older leaves on my two CBD palnts going yellow like N or Mg deficiency but looked different. Dug into the bible and it was what I thought. Low S. Watered in some epsom salts and no more yellowing. They must need more S than the others because those were barely affected but got some salts too. They all get the same feed and have only had two small feed since they got put in the 2gal pots on Sept. 29.

Low sulfur leaf.

Right now on the first leaf set has 1 burn inside the leaf not on the tips and its a yellow outline and some more on the edge but its more like a light mustard. Not the good yellow or burn yellpw. Another one has the same thing except on the tips :$ should I just say fuck tor and post a pic?

 

[OldMedUser]

I'm using TOR on my PC and no prob with pics. I used TOR to get a phony email to help cover my ass too. I've never actually heard of anyone on any of the forums I've been on the last 8 years get busted. They don't waste their time tracking us little hobby growers. Don't have the resources to get the big fish so I wouldn't worry.

Now if a guy were to use his real name and post his phone number or addy in a forum then he's likely to dumb to live anyway.

Got all my goodies an hour ago. Sure wish I had some buds to try my new trimmer on.

These are the worst ones everything else is minor tip stuff.

 

[OldMedUser]

That's what you're worried about?

Looks like water drops dried up on the leaves. Thought they were at death's door. The tops look great. The lighter green in the center usually means they are growing fast and it hasn't had time to darken up yet.

I really don't see anything to worry about. First big leaves often get screwy and they'll be on no use in a week or so when the plants get bigger.

Unless that pic isn't showing it all I think you can relax.

Cant be that because theres similar markings on other ones on the edges where water wouldnt be able to get there because the other leaf is blocking it.

I always make sure I dont drop any drops and if i do i dry em asap. Anychance you might kno what else the issue could be? like this stuff just started those pictures I put got it the worst you could see the eye sore easily the rest you have to inspect but im really trying to avoid any issues like these

I don't know what else to tell you. Certainly doesn't look bad and I copied that pic to my PC and blew it up real big.
