so i roderd another bottle of bmo flower power... this time i asked one of the iwners if he could mix in a 1/4 grow it green in the flower power bottle has i feel the flower power is a lil low on nitrogen.. he said he would... cool people at bmo.... i told him he should start selling gallon amounts of his nutes and he should add a lil sea kelp to his mixes

yep thats pretty cool bro roots organics uses sea kelp in quite a few of their products, including buddha bloom and trinity.

the potassium bicarb is burning my leaves a lil... i dont know if it was cuzz i made the mix too strong, or because i began using small amounts of neem oil to act has extra surfacant and for a lil bug protection...... nothing major but enough to piss me off!!!

probably the neem oil bro....

don't trip remember how burnt my sk's were last year from those chems? still chronic ass bud.

Yeah get a breeder pic if your sk.. Pops got some killer colas on them plants.

well that's why you need to get yourself a nice place where you can grow near your house and constantly tend to your plants... don't have to use as many pesticides most of the time.

I mean shit I don't use any pesticides, sure I have a few bite marks here and there. but they can't really /take over/.

 

[poplars]

Yeah get a breeder pic if your sk.. Pops got some killer colas on them plants.

yeah I'll definitely have some worthy pics to have 'officially' for this strain...especially since it's essentially an almost 100% all natural grow.

 

[poplars]

I jar mine when the larger stems make an audible crack when bent, but don't quite snap. There's still some sponginess to the buds, then I crack the jars for a few hours each day for about a week, then every other day, then seal em up.

upon second thought I think I'm going to try your method. because I really c an't take the risk with this bud this year. maybe I'll do one branch wetter and see how it goes, and if it goes well I'll do it all like that next year... but this year I think I'm gonna do it your way.

awwwwwww fuck neem oil......... some of my leaves are curled up with burnt edges, and dark black/pupleish burns on the leaves.... never using neem outside again!!!! i took off some of the super ugly ones..... i left some that were not has burnt to be used up a lil by the plants so next week ill pluck those to when i go to feed again and spray for mildew... i fucked up in using that neem!!!! shitty.. they will live though... the on e short bubba sk barely got burnt... and it only had a very lil bit of mildew i sprayed once last week and its still free of mildew... even though conditions are right for mildew that sk has got it under control... its also got the kiefiest and fattest buds on it... im aving the most issue with the cali hash plant in terms of mildew... also the sod. bicarb. keeps turning my pistils orange like the bud was done... but after a couple days new white pistils come back so thats not that big an issue...

heres what one of the dudes from bmo wrote me on ebay

Thank You. If you would like, we do direct sales by email, which can save you money. The reason we use pint bottles is, eight of them (1 gallon) will fit in a US Postal Priority Medium Flat Rate box. However, only three quart bottles will fit in that same box, and gallons require the more expensive Large Flat Rate Box. The size we use serves two purposes. This saves on shipping costs, ensures fast delivery. Plus, if in transit, a bottle is damaged, then only a small amount of the product is lost, instead of all of it.
For gallons we can sell direct for 22 % off the Ebay prices, which makes the price about $ 48 per gallon shipped. Our direct sales email address is [email protected] If for any reason Ebay removes the email address, it's bluemtnorganics at gmail, with a dot com behind it.
We use Azomite over kelp, because it provides more trace minerals, without sodium issues. With all our products, digestion / aeration time is 7 days. Then the bio-processed solutions are put under pressure and heated to 200 degrees F for 12 hours. Afterwards, the solutions are slowly cooled over three days, oxygen is injected into them, and the beneficial bacteria and fungi, before being bottled. They then remain in a chilled / clean room, until shipping. The caps are tightened before going into your shipping box, and they are in your hands in under 4 days. Thank You. signed - Greg

they make fresh bacthes every month to... there shit has a shelf life of 1.5 years if stored right

 

[theexpress]

damn i orderd last night and told em to mix in da 1/4 grow it green with the flower power and bmo did that and today my shit already in the mail with a tracking number... how da fuck is that for service!!!!???

 

[Wolverine97]

hmm that's quite a bit dryer than what fdd does... I'm thinking that if the stem is still bendy that gives a lot more moisture to cause a more effective cure... looks like you're definitely taking the safer route though... I want to do it just like fdd but I just have a hard time risking a whole years work on something before I thoroughly research it...

Yeah, I've tried it both ways and that's what I've settled on over the years. I get a very good cure after 3 weeks total (including dry time). I don't like the dark look the buds take on when jarred that moist, it does cause a bit more fermentation but I just don't like it as much. My stuff burns to a very light/white ash, and a joint will stay lit for several minutes between hits.

that's cool man

I think he's hypin it a lil bit.. with the oxygen blasting shit.

I mean when you brew your own bacterial teas... they dont last long, you gotta use them fast... unless you keep them bubbling and keep feeding them molasses or some kinda sugar...

to say that there are living bacteria in a bottle that hasn't been bubbled in over 48 hours is pretty much bs.. this is why beneficial bacteria is often sold in dry powders instead of in bottles...

not saying these nutes aren't any good, I'm just sayin they should probably sell the beneficials separate from the liquid so they don't kill them... it's not possible to keep them oxygenated enough to not die before you get them in shipping...

nice man, do you trim after dry or before?? I would prefer after dry because it would make what I'm doing incredibly easier.

thats why you cant close the cap for too long..... also from time to time i like to shake the bottle for a little to aerate it.. it even saids contents of bottle is alive... and the way they do it is they sterilze the shit first then let it cool then innoculate it with the endo ecto ect. and let them get a stronghold so nothing else can infect... kinda takes me back to my shroom growing days lol... there is molassis in there to feed the bacteria..

what he do? pour out a little off the top and then top it off with some piss instead? lol

I trim wet. I think it's just so much easier in the long run, with a lot less trichome loss throughout the drying/curing process.

yeah but that seems a lot more complicated when you're harvesting a big crop like mine... seems a lot easier to trim dry and hang the plants up whole or in halves.

I really don't see why. I'm usually doing a few bows at least, and I honestly think it goes a lot faster while the leaves are still rigid and sticking out from the buds. Different strokes I guess...

The trich's just get so brittle once the plants have dried, I hate to have to handle them much at that stage.

well it's the difference between setting up 12-14 good hanging spots, vs lines of hanging branches from various strains all over the place. I know I can keep the strains sectioned off and shit it just seems a lil overwealming... I'll have to think about it I guess.....
