The soft rock phosphate is usually pelleted (or "prilled" they sometimes call it).

The "pellets" are just powdered products stuck together with "binders" for easier application. As soon as they'r emoistened, they start to break up. Use them just as you would the powder. Not sure how this is a question about bat guano... I've had a few good harvests using Subcool's mix, but...

I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but you misread the tables in that report. The 800-yr old for forest had 80 ug/g active, 2,946 total fungal biomass. The aerobic compost had 92.6 ug/g active, 4,880 total. I'm not trying to say that you won't get some benefit from brewing up those forest...

Moisture should be no problem as long as it's not sitting there completely waterlogged. I can't comment on those particular products without knowing what went into them. Some commercial composting facilities accept "biosolids" from sewage treatment plants....

Your soil needs a base ingredient like peat moss (1st choice), coco coir (2nd choice), or composted bark (last choice). As for the minerals... It sounds like you might live on an island? Perhaps one of volcanic origin? If so, you may be in luck. Volcanic material, especially basalt, has a very...

Just got back from a week in Maui, and was happy to see that the clones kicked into gear a little while I was gone. I transplanted them into these 2-gal pots and set up a drip irrigation system before I left. It's plumbed straight to my Small Boy water filter with a hose end irrigation timer...

It's all a balance. Are we using more water growing cannabis than the pharmaceutical companies would use to produce the medicines we're replacing? I don't know the answer to that question. My little 1200 watt garden only drinks about a gallon or two of water a day, while my outdoor veggie...

That would probably work fine, but I would recommend 33% peat, 33% worm castings (or compost), and 33% perlite (or pumice). With just the peat and castings/compost, your mix might not drain very well (think mucky mud). In general, you don't want to go much above 1/3 castings/compost. Don't...

http://www.soilace.com/pdf/pon2004/11.Ingham.pdf ^ A good read about soil microbiology. Check out the comparisons between total fungal mass in old growth forest soil versus compost. Compost wins...

Well, I hate to be a downer, but what you're describing doesn't sound good. -Hairs turn brown when they receive pollen. This isn't the only thing that can make hairs turn brown, but the fact that only the hairs near the light leak turned isn't a good sign. You likely have some male flowers in...

I would avoid mixing the Espoma into your soil unless it's going to have some time to break down before you plant in it. Instead, try top dressing with the Espoma and watering it in with a compost tea (not necessary, but helpful). By top dressing, you'll get a slow release as the stuff breaks...

Do whatever needs to be done to keep the humidity below 65% while your hang drying. I like it right around 55-60% for a nice slow, even dry. If that means running your extractor fan or a dehumidifier, then do. You also want a small oscilating fan going in the room to move the air around a...

Take some longer than usual cuttings, stick them in a mason jar with a little water in the bottom, seal it up, stick it in a brown paper bag and put it in the fridge. If your happy with the harvest, pull them out of the fridge, make a fresh cut, and root away...

Compost or worm castings. It's called "compost tea" for a reason. ;)

I hate to say it, but I think you're looking at a head rush followed by a headache.

Well that was fun....

Search around for a "hash hammer", and you'll find what you're looking for.

It's a 4-foot 6-bulb T5 light. I'll keep them under it for a few more days then fire up the metal halides.

10-52-10?!? Yikes... Just give them water.
