lol my bf and i were just talking about this. it's a shame they're so damn marked up. and same can be said for the grocery store/produce. SO ANNOYING.
yeah but idk anything about making my own soil, so it's nice to buy stuff that's pre-made, if i'm unfamiliar with the ingredients and their interactions or usefulness entirely.
i wish i knew how to make my own soil! trying to learn atm actually.
Nope his strains are mostly sativa Dom and do well in the heat here
That's nuts! Glad I don't live in Dallas! Just pulled my bill for May 14 - June 13 and it is $133.20. That's for all an electric house, A/C on a 3,100 s.f. house, one small freezer, 3 refrigerators (one being a kegerator), range/microwave, etc., one 1 HP well pump, lights, 2 computers, home theater, etc. Have service with a co-op in central Texas.
You know I hear that a lot. I grew up working with the dirt and it just seems so easy to me; like second nature. I still can't wrap my mind around why people have such a hard time with it or are so intimidated. I guess it's like me with hydro though... I wouldn't know where to start, lol. You really don't have to "make your own" soil. You just need to amend it sometimes. I hope I don't come off as insulting because that is not my intention.yeah but idk anything about making my own soil, so it's nice to buy stuff that's pre-made, if i'm unfamiliar with the ingredients and their interactions or usefulness entirely.
Thanks! I will check it out.
I remember years ago catching some kids walking around our cow field. I ran them down and asked what they were doing. They said they were just trying to walk home and took a short cut, but they had a bag full of mushrooms. I looked in the bag and told them they were dummies because they had the wrong kind of mushrooms. Just because it grows in manure doesn't mean is a cubensis, lol. I may have saved their lives that day, lol.
Funny, no scolding except for picking the wrong species lol! I can see them now, beige white stem that turned deep purple with a hint of indigo blue when crushed, thick flat cap that went from beige on the edge to burnt orange in the middle. That was in the Victoria area.
Looks good. I don't do super nothing, I mix my own. I'd buy those huge bags of vermiculite from Sutherland's, the coarse kind and add to it. Buy you some alfalfa horse cubes from a feed store, soak a little in water overnight and add the slurry to your mix for a hit of the triacontanol.
Well, I did tell them to leave. The ones they were picking didn't even look like the right ones; they were slender and solid white. PSA just because a mushroom is growing in manure doesn't make it edible. That last thing I need is to get sued because someone ate a toxic mushroom from my field, lol.
Yeah, I agree with your opinion of the super soil. I used to spend the money on FFOF and I still think it is a good "soil", but I've found Shultz to be just as good. Currently trying Vigoro. I usually add some blood meal, bone meal, castings, perlite, verm, and diatomaceous earth to the mix. But sometimes when I don't feel like dealing with it... I just add some premixed ferts like Happy frog or Vigoro. It seems that all you have to do is give it a place to grow that provides plenty of moisture and food. It will do everything else.
168 hours saved during veg this grow.
504 hours saved during flower.
Think about this way. Having the exhaust fan running in my setup is like leaving the front door cracked on my home. All that cool 74 degree air is being sucked outside.
672 hours, that's a savings worth my time.
During the winter, I'm thinking about routing the attic exhaust back into the house for heat (after it's been scrubbed).
See, even pot heads can grow green and save the environment!
Here are some new pics of the plants and the split ventilation timers.
Blue OG in front with the split main stems.
Nice growth on this three-branched White Lavender.
Might look a little crazy, but set up this way the room ventilation cycles on and off during lights off saving me on my A/C bill.
You see where the light ventilation and room ventilation are synced when light are on.
Goodro-spores are easy and legal to buy. You are just supposed to look at the spores and not grow. Just look it up on the net. Here is one http://www.mycrotopia.com/catalog/catalog.php. They are 10 bucks a pop plus free shipping. I will be starting a thread as soon as I have something to look at. You are more than welcome to follow.
God damn it is nice out today/tonight..
