Can you please post the ratios? This was very helpful sir.
I should really redo the vid huh.im not a video guy and couldnt figure out how to put ratios on-screen so i listed one of my ratios in the post.
Heres 2 variants i commonly use tho.
18gal of mixed soil:
24tbs espoma all purpose
12tbs dr.earth veg
This produces a higher nitrogen NPK mix

Another one i use is
18gal of mixed soil:
22tbs of dr.earth veg
13tbs espoma all purpose
This produces a higher phosphorus NPK mix.
I grow a mess of other stuff so that's why i do that, i don't just grow pot and also the base soil (forest humus/topsoil) is generally low in phosphorus and higher in nitrogen.

I truly hope this helps you...someone...anyone.

Little bit of evidence for the soil mix...we've had an enormous amount of rain here in southern texas this spring...plants are still perky and green

You can't watch non cannabis specific youtube videos and learn how to grow cannabis. And where are the bottles? You need at least ten to grow pot.

Keep us updated on the progress throughout the grow.

Send some of that rain NW to Oregon. We need it.

Good luck with you're grow. You're going to need it down there in Texas. Hurricanes, floods. You're plants are facing some serious threats. I hope all goes well.

:peace:

The video is about soil...not cannabis.
Bottles? What do you mean bottles?

Wait. You do know that the soil you are using is dirty, right? Hmmm. This is rather suspect - like the moon landing. You're out in the woods and I see NO dirty diapers and NO plastic bags. We're supposed to believe this?

Oh, wait, you said you're in Texas. okay - now it makes sense. in Texas people don't throw their garbage in the front yard and tell their kids to go play in it.

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!

I lived in Texas for a couple years - and it was fantastic.

You're absolutely right.

I'm deeply ashamed of myself.

That or I was fooling around and having a laugh with a guy that's pretty cool in my book, but either way . . . .

Hey - WAIT! You're not the boss of me!

Seriously though - i think you've probably had a shitty day @BudmanTX. Please, do allow me to introduce myself. I'm a Grumpy Old Fuck. G.O.F. Can you relate?

No harm, no foul. If your getting mad at me does hurt deep down inside, I'll call Dr. Phil and talk to him about my little hurting feelings, that no-one understands. Aight? :)

Right - so - I do essentially the same thing, but I DO use a little more perlite, plus a bit of vermiculite too, because I have VERY heavy clay soil. I'm still in kinda the dinosaur ages though I guess - because I do add blood meal and bone meal - but the Plantone and Dr. Earth have a far more diversified package.

mudballs has a very NICE sandy loam there. My soil doens't drain with a shit because, I live in the swamps. :)

So, in other words, @BudmanTX - mudballs didn't need you to "defend him from big bad me." But I'm sure he's flattered by your valiant effort all the same. If he were a Damsel in Distress, I'm sure he'd be real impressed. I think we're good though, okay? You're building monsters in your head that aren't even real. There's actually nothing scarey under your bed, dude. Breath in and out slowly, and if your still panicking . . . <hands @BudmanTX a paper lunch bag> put this over your mouth and nose and breathe into it. Do you need a drink of water? :P

New favorite quote: <mudballs> ". . . . so all you guys paying $80 for a 5 gallon bucket of soil? Yeah - you ENJOY THAT SHIT!" lolol

LOVE IT!

So jealousy is what I am seeing....awe...

Mate. A lot of times I don't spend a dime on soil...sometime maybe 20 bucks every once in a while to keep it up...

So wtf is your problem...

Holy shit you're really from outer-space or something. It's like a bad car-wreck. You want to look away, but somehow - you can't help yourself but to keep watching.

Yup. It's jealousy. I am jealous of - of YOU BudmanTX. That's it. I want you, and I know you just won't feel the same way, so I'm trying to get you by making mudballs jealous. This way, you will see him being jealous and marry me after-all.

Actually, my problem is - I have flat feet. No arch at all. It's terrible. That, and I'm so lonely without you BudmanTX. I simply MUST HAVE YOU!

Seriously though - you must be the one he was talking about that dips his balls in glitter. Pretty nuts!
