When you start messing around re amending and adding stuff to the soil be sure to keep some "used" or "drained" or "depleted" soil off to the side separate and don't add anything to it. That way if you get too crazy and your soil mix ends up too hot and didn't work well you can "water it down"...

That's supposed to be week 5 to week eight. I keep getting smiley faces when I type 8.

I've been using metal halide (400 watt veg) and hps (600 watt bloom) for years. A couple months ago I got a 300 watt LED light. White leds with extra blue, specifically for veg. This thing is awesome. In veg it totally blows my 400 watt metal halide away. Faster growth, thicker stems, huge...

Dolomite lime and gypsum will work fine. That's what I use, and I've never messed with the other lime. Like 10 years ago people used to say that Ag lime would kill your plants and that you should never use it. Some of the amendments you might use for Phosphorus like crab shell, bat guano, or...

You could do a little experiment. Treat a couple of your plants like its week 8. Or count flowering time from the day you flipped to 12/12. Stick to your grown plan, and your feeding schedule and chop them on time. Then add in a little transition time for a few of your plants. Or for those...

If you scroll down to the bottom of the Roll it Up front page there is a whole section for Cooking with Cannabis and another one for Concentrates and Extracts. You can get some basic info or a recipe from there. Then when you know what you want to do, search for a how to video. Hopefully that...

Trim + butter and you get weed butter for edibles. Trim + bubble bags and you can make some bubble hash. Sometimes when I'm out of weeds I'll roll up trim or larfy buds to smoke.

It's interesting to see a UK guy with Miracle Gro "Humifirst Biostimulants." I don't know if that stuff is in North America yet. I've been checking out a lot of info from Harley Smith. He said it was Dutch guys who really got into this stuff first, back in the early 2000s when they banned...

Potassium Sulfate or Sulfate of Potash is a mineral salt from ancient dried up seas. It's like 0-0-50 and some brands are OMRI listed for organics. It's used in nutrient blends like Happy Frog and Dr Earth. You can use like 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of the straight stuff. Kelp and greensand...

They are looking a little pale, especially the one on the right. Did they go from green green to slightly yellow in the 2 days you've been going water only? Or has the color change been more gradual over the last few weeks? It doesn't really matter for any specific reason, I'm just wondering...

Take it out of the bag and give each bunch a nice shake to knock critters loose. Lay it out in the sun, spread really thinly so there are no clumps for bugs to hide in. Let the extreme conditions drive bugs away. Sprinkle some stinky neem meal over the top to fumigate the bugs off. Use crab...

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/12/191216151447.htm In this non scientific article a science lady says bacteria use their gross slime layer to chemically break down rocks. Also humic acid and other humates(?) form "bridge" to transfer minerals from clays like azomite to...

That video looked like somebody who didn't grow read a couple mediocre articles on "Super Soil" and then made a video. He talks about the basic ideas, but there is no real recipe and dude just seems to assume everything will go OK with no hiccups. Fabric pots are 100% Not mandatory. They're...

I've been eye-balling the Roots Organic all in ones. I saw the "Uprising" Grow and Bloom, and "Terp Tea" Grow and Bloom, at a glance it looked like both grows and both blooms(3-7-4) were pretty similar. Then saw "Terp Tea" Bloom Booster (.5 - 6 - 18) It looked pretty solid for the 2nd half of...

If I were going to mix up some Sub's Super Soil, I would mix it up at half or quarter Strength, not volume.

I googled around, the RAW Nutrients feeding schedule includes silica during week one of veg, at like 50% of the regular dose. Or 1/8 teaspoon per gallon week 1 vs 1/4 teaspoon per gallon the rest of the way. The Dinafem seeds website said plants need silica over their entire lifecycle, and to...

Everybody is into different stuff, but I have fun growing in soil. Mixing up big batches of soil isn't the coolest thing, but neither is a big reservoir change. Soil is pretty easy once you get your head around the idea that you've got to maintain your microbes and any feeding/amending you do...

That's impressive, I've never see new growth look that good. I get gnarly, twisted leaves and many ugly, splindly branches growing out of bud sites. How do you do that? What do you trim off, or not trim off? That looks great.

I would use 80% ProMix and 20% or coco. ProMix is innoculated with Mycos (and maybe bacteria) and limed to buffer pH and is great environment for organics. Coco is good to lighten up your mix but it kinda sucks for microbes and is kind of "barren" to start with. If you're switching to...

I FEEEL like if I go 18/6 the last week of Veg my plants will show "pre-flowers" or "hairs" or "show their sex" by the end of that week. Then when I go to 12/12 I FEEEL like the plants transition to flower, or start budding faster than if I use 24/0 during veg. Like I'll have pistils on day 9...
