I have been in a garden for life. Old school does me well. Only takes a fattie and a beverage's worth of comfortably sitting. And works without power. And my reading glasses of late. LOL.
I'm still learning, been at it for about 10yrs, but some deficiencies look identical to others. Organic soil is tough to perfect. I've been impressed with the soil prescriptions that I have been getting anyways, trying to push micronutrients.
They have random BOGO offers at GLG sometimes, it would be nice to hear if one is coming lol. JBC has promos at times but not as often...
Good news for you!
I made my biggest leaps by not trying to perfect it. A long learning curve. Honestly over 40 years in the dirt. And a good 3 decades trying it all with my buds. We will never beat nature in my opinion. She has had eons. We have but a mere adult life span of an ember aloft in comparison. Skip the tech. Solid base will outperform our meddling thing. And push when you can actually understand your plants. My thoughts and advice. No more. I buy some dirts and a few amends. Water and watch if just growing. Stupid easy for those limited mobility.
glad to hear someone thinks the way i do, specially a old schooler, sometimes the things we do to push everything to it's limits makes it not worth it to do in the first place
Honest truth is I blew my current grows out of the water with synthetic wet sets. U.A.W. job outsourced to Mexico. Had to cut costs. Injured on the job my reckless hobbies caught up. Simple basics and a hose if need be. Economical enough to be non profit unless jar exchange counts. Only mix dirt, dig holes and observe besides hand watering. My escape now. LOL.
PH is just a monitor here until flower. Then it is a must for me. I use it to vary nute availability like hydro.
And a wonderful escape it is. All the hobbies of meditation, yoga, hiking, weight-lifting, and reading (rollitup) rolled into one: “Ganja Gardening” the Mother of all escapes!
syntetic wet sets? uaw?
80's term for hydro. And unions. LOL. Better days.
oh, so you had other people growing your plants hydo in mexico before you had to cut cost? i gotta be honest some of the posts here i dont read because theres too many words i dont understand
My bad. I grow my own. My United Auto Workers "UAW" job was outsourced to Mexico. Ran a flow table full time. Expensive and too much work.
oh shit i was way off thanks for clarifing haha, yeah flow tables look complicated, the ones i saw the runoff is waste, seems wrong
Recirculated. Another time and thread. And only complicated by today's vanity. My method is outdated. Oddly used in self sustaining homes now.
@PadawanWarrior I think he's talking about you. Prob cop stuff ya know?
