    WeddingCake

    How did y'all's Wedding Cake compare to other varieties you've grown? Is it a light or heavy feeder? Mine is really stretched out with long, long internodes and few leaves. Is it hungry or is my soil too strong and stunting it?

    Water in fish fert. Till run off or no run off?

    I wouldn't water in huge volumes of fish fertilizer. It's pretty mild, and you can always mix up a light batch with just like half a teaspoon per gallon. But if you pour a ton on, looking for run-off you can end up with a enough fish guts to cause problems in your soil. Like temporary swings...

    Example Top Dress Only Program?

    I use crab shell instead of bone meal because I have a big bag of it, and because it's a little more mild. Also crab meal has chitin, which is supposed to be cool. I think I would probably give the bone meal 3 weeks instead of two weeks to work before re-apply. That's a lot of phosphorus and you...

    Example Top Dress Only Program?

    The good news is that Alfalfa, Crab Shell, Kelp Meal and worm castings are the best things to top dress with. In five gallon containers, I would use 2 Teaspoons of amendments during Veg and 3 in bloom. Organic stuff is mild compared to bottles, but too much all at once can cause weird pH swings...

    What Is Best Soil pH?

    Yeah, I agree. Soil pH is really important, so don't mess it up. I don't know the pH of my dirt, but it's "working" so I don't care exactly. But I know really acidic stuff like molasses or really alkaline stuff like silica will mess shit up if I use too much. So I only use a little of those...

    Never been sure about defoliating (with pics) 4x4 bed

    Years ago I saw a video by The Grow Boss about training plants. He found one of those "tweener" branches that was too big to prune off but too low to really get nice buds. He took that one particular branch and lollipoped or stripped off all the lower, side stuff up to a level above the lower...

    Never been sure about defoliating (with pics) 4x4 bed

    If you're not sure to Cut It or Leave It, leave it this time. Or lollipop a little less this time around. Then keep an eye on that plant/branch during flower. When harvest time comes, check out the buds on that branch. Are they good or just airy and whack? If they are not good you'll know to...

    Never been sure about defoliating (with pics) 4x4 bed

    I think your plants look OK. You can see where you topped them and got several nice branches that will become nice colas. Maybe you plants are slightly tall and lanky, but that's understandable, you had some issues that slowed you down. Personally I don't mess with "Defoliation", like cutting...

    Backyard shed questions.

    My shed is 9 x 7. There is fiberglass insulation between the studs and the interior walls are drywall. I've got a mini split AC set up and a dehumidifier in there. I don't vent, I don't want to send my temp/humidity treated air right out the window. I've got a fan/filter scrubbing the air...

    Flower Week 3

    It'll be mostly pistils (hairs) for awhile. Buds will begin to get fat during week 7, (or so) like a month from now. And they should get fatter and fatter for 2-3 weeks after that.

    Bottled / Bagged / Packaged Microbes - Do You Use?

    When I cut clones in use Azos (nitrogen fixing bacteria) by XTreme gardening to treat the plugs/pellets the cuttings will go into. This seems to help the clones stay green and healthy, so I Believe that it works like it's supposed to. When was out of compost and the store was out of EWC, I...

    How would you personally grow and train plants in this situation?

    Is there any way to divide your space and flower like your 12 biggest plants now while you veg 6 or 8 smaller ones for awhile? That way you could keep your plants and immediately start a 2nd group of plants flowering as soon as your first group is finished.

    Coco Based No-till Living Soil Recipe Help??

    What's up with coir and potassium? Does coco release K over time? And if a coco coir soil will be high in Potassium is it a good idea to use a little less langbienite to keep K in check?

    Gym Time

    OK, I missed a couple updates. I was getting tired as hell, falling asleep right after dinner, exhausted so I decided to cut the circuit training and move on. I hate to not get those last couple workouts in, but I spent weeks training in that specific way. Getting extra worked up and elevated...
