gardenguides.com/118803-aloe-vera-plant-types.html I know there are a few varieties used medicinally but the most common is Aloe barbadensis I believe. Its also the species I myself have growing. By all looks of it, it's the same species @CaptainCAVEMAN has growing too. As you probably know...

@Instape I wonder if it changes pH or raises ppm or has some other side effect that needs consideration? How does it affect plants? How would it affect the microbiology or fungal mycorrhizae? You said it functions as a sterilizer... We all have something we can offer brother. Hope you can...

No need to feel you are 'butting in.' Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have read that adding hydrogen peroxide does the same thing in terms of removing chlorine. I think it has to be 35%. I am not familiar with sodium metabisulphate... I've been studying up in the Organics section, a lot...

Thanks. I think I will also use strictly tap water instead of half highly filtered half tap and see if that doesn't also help. Will be able to find out more about TDS once I get the meter...

Hey thanks! I was hoping to hear they wouldn't mind. They do heal over where you cut pretty quick it seems, within minutes really. I was getting ready to harvest some but my plant is looking yellow from all the rain we've been getting where I am. I may have to even remove from the pot and add...

Tomorrow I will be giving a regular feeding and picking up some fresh worm castings. Maybe a better long term solution now going into flower would be prepare a top dressing with worm castings, bone meal, powdered oyster shells and what little I have left of the Roots Organic Uprising Grow and...

I was using double filtered water strictly, but have now switched to half filtered half regular tap and I let it sit for 24h. I don't have a TDS meter yet, ordered one but not here just yet. The worm compost I included in my mix did have some powdered oyster shells and egg shells added...

Day 1 of flower - It appears that I may have a calcium deficiency in a few of my plants... I've read that calcium def. is something to look out for with these COB LEDs no? What is a good solution for this in an organic soil grow?

Okay, set up 6" trellis net just above tallest plant and reprogrammed timer for 12/12. Tomorrow will mark day 1 of flower (or is it about a week after whenever pistils start appearing?...). Still working things out but I think I've come to a feeding/supplement regimen that seems decent. I...

Hi, I've been searching around trying to find out more about harvesting Aloe vera 'leaves' (blades?). All the information I have come across recommends that I cut outer blades at the base of them and remove the whole blade at once. I have one large Aloe plant and it has given a few pups which I...

I was watering every 3-4 days. I think I may drop down to 2-3 days. Just wasn't trying to over water... Yes, 3500K What do you mean by 'tired'?

Thanks bro. Are you posting this grow here? I'm always interested in the organic stuff...

Just wanted to post a few from this morning too. Now you can see more of the plants in the 'praying' position that is so oft spoke of when using seed teas (which in this case coconut is the seed, but just the water from it). They aren't all fully at a 45° angle, but they are more 'up' than...

Meh, everyone has their ego. The COB LED and Organics crowd seem cool though. LAB is Lactic Acid Bacteria culture. I've learned a lot over the past few years but this grow has allowed me to start to put some of these things into practice, so I'm learning more deeply the process and doing it at...

@The Dawg Lol! Thanks, you bring the comic relief to this probably boring thread.

Thanks, I think that is what the LAB is good for. Also neem?

Okay, update... Gave a watering this afternoon of 3.5L water, 230mL organic coconut water (a 15:1 ratio) and 1tbsp Stump Tea - myco (pH 6.1). I think I will go into flowering on Sunday to Monday. Will probably prepare a neem/aloe/silica foliar application tomorrow or on Sunday and currently...

This fucking rain and high humidity just doesn't want to stop. About 88% RH outdoors, 70% inside and in the low 70's. Been keeping the AC on to try and suck out some moisture but I end up really cold in my apartment. The plants usually droop a bit at night but this evening they are drooping a...

@hillbill Understandable. If it is of interest at all to you, here is a link to some helpful advice on encryption services, masking your IP, encrypted email services and internet browsers, dark net stuff, etc. https://www.privacytools.io Though I have heard Tor is a military project, so not so...

Pics or it didn't happen @hillbill Lol
