Cranker's Guide to using Pre-nuted Soil and not failing

[cranker]

So as good of an article as this is, I'm gonna have to throw some hate for doing it about 2 weeks too late. I planted my first clones into MG seedling starter mixed with plain topsoil and perlite. My plants didn't like it. They got nutrient burn, then I believe they went into lockout from the ph of my water(totally my fault) because they showed tons of deficiencies. Now, 4 days after I put them into FFOF, started treating my tap water, and haven't fed them since, they're doing great.

Hopefully this helps someone else from making the mistakes I did.

Sorry I was late but thanks, I'm gonna throw in that bit about MG Seedling starter. Next time try Jiffy seed starter for a starter soil. I should have added a part about clones. It's too late to edit the thread now I'm gathering info on making a more comprehensive version.

I'm doing all my grows right now on MG soil, ph'd water, and a little bud blood at flower time. Been the healthiest plants I've grown. Touch of Tomato Gro nutes here and there maybe.

*if you use r/o water w/ 0ppm reading, then you dont need to pH.. its going into soil bud blood wont flux the nute feed nor flux the soil, put your silly pH pen/stick/thingy away

..come on cranky.. i tryin to learns ya.. lmfao (ppsstt.. you dont wanna end up like NGG & pimpdoggie)

It has to be Santa cuz I just dropped a ton on a new lighting system....exhaust...cooling...totally redoing a new room. It's an 8x3x10 finally figured out how i'm gonna run the exhaust. I use rainwater when I can but it hasn't rained in a long while.

Honestly, if I proved to you that buffalo sperm increased yield by 15%, do you know how many people do you think would be googling the closest buffalo farm?

Damn, I wish I could give you another rep for this one!! Bwwwwaahahahahaha!

I think MG would kick AN to the curb. Not only are they WAY overpriced, you have to be a fukkin scientist mixing all that shit.

**what bullshit will AN cook up next... stay tuned

 

[cranker]

I have this guide saved and am refining it as people comment and throw in stuff I missed, I figure trying to throw lighting in would be a disaster so I'm keeping away from that but I've gotten a ton of +reps from new growers so hopefully maybe some of the more experienced growers might take a look and say "hey, maybe that's why I fucked up when I was using mg on bagseeds." Or FFOF. ect

I don't know; but I do know they start everything in their marketing department. I think they come up with a catchy name "Bud Blaster" or some shit, then have some underpaid graphics guy come up with something really cool looking for the packaging, then decide how they can take a dozen essential and not-so-essential elements and split them so they can sell them piecemeal. "In this bottle we have Nuclear Nitrogen; and in this bottle we have Famous Fosferus and in this bottle we have Poon-Tang Potassium". "And of course we have our other 1,745 products that, without it, you plants will never produce a single gram of bud." "...and all for only $84.95 a bottle!"

When MG Marijuana soil comes out, I think a ton of people will change their soil.

I guess you know that MG has been looking at the prices and the bullshit that most "nute" companies are pawning off on noob pot growers and saying "WTF are we not getting a huge chunk of that?" They are planning on coming out with MJ specific stuff soon.

If you watch the conversation it says that they are more likely to either buy out a smaller company or create a new brand, because big retailers won't want to carry it.

That's true. Then, they may do it like A.N. and put some other plant on the packaging. I always talk "tomatoes" when I visit a grow shop, but they know I'm talking about pot - and of course they know that I know they are in business to sell stuff for growing pot, not tomatoes. Either way it should be a good product coming in at a reasonable price point.

Well the CEO actually said Marijuana specifically. I could see them buying up a company like FF just to add a special made marijuana grow line. I mean, 16 states it's legal to grow, 2 billion dollar a year industry and growing...there's gonna be someone who makes it.
