Wow thank you for this, I don't mind the longer post at all, as a matter of fact I highly appreciate it, even read through it a few times to really grasp all the information. In that case, I'll start using the 40/40/20 of peat/pumice/compost, to avoid soil compaction, I didn't consider that. My...

Malibu blend is 100% cow poo from what I understand... but it doesn't say on their website, so I'm not sure. I do have my own worm castings I've been harvesting... how much you think I should throw in, given my ratios? Also, how much lime you'd say? 1/2 cup per cuF?

Going to be growing tropical landraces, mostly Mexican ones. Is this an OK mix? It's what I use in my no-till grow, but I want to run 3 gallon pots, so I can easily move any males I get. Not sure if running in 3 gallons will make a difference). Growing outdoors in southern california. Base...

Thanks for that Kratos, that is some really good info, I learned something important today. In my current 30 gallon no-till pots (I have 3) I did use the 1/1/1 base mix, with Bu's Blend biodynamic compost. Would you consider that compost high quality enough to run the 1/1/1 ratio? For my worm...

Neighbor helps me out - I do have a timer as well, forgot to mention it in the original post. I run them at 18/6 and later on 12/12

It's a mars hydro 100W, if you touch the bottom while it's on it does electrocute you, yes. Glad to hear in general it's ridiculous to ask such a question, means it's safe, I live in an apartment complex in Mexico with hundreds of people, just want to be sure I don't cause any harm. In total...

Heading back to my apartment soon, I got a 100W Mars Hydro White LED there that I was going to use to grow a few small plants. Wanted to ask if there's any other lights I should add for my grow? Hoping to grow 3 plants, each in like a 5 gallon container or so. Mexican landrace sativas, maybe...

Always wondered, is it a bad idea to leave my apartment empty for like a few days to a week or two at a time, while my grow lights are running? I get pretty paranoid about it. My neighbor helps me out and checks in every few days, but I'm always worried about a fire starting or something. I...

Just curious, which strains of those were your favorites? How was the Pipe Dream? I was eying that one as well

I've read that all you really need is good compost (Bu's Blend) and good worm castings to grow... hoping to put that to the test :) If I'll be growing using strictly an equal mix of peat moss, pumice and (compost + EWC), how well would my plants grow with that mix? (Not looking for huge...

I was reading that seeds sprout really well in worm bins, and I didn't have much soil, so I made a mix of 50% of my own EWC from my worm bin, and 50% pumice I had. The worm bin I started 8 months ago with 100% sphagnum peat moss, and I've just been burying the food an inch deep, so not sure if...

Thanks guys. Anyone know the differences between Snow's Panama Red's? I want to get a Panama Red, but not sure which one to get ('16, Sweet Red Berry, etc). I hit up Snow on IG but haven't heard back in a few weeks. I'm looking to grow pure landraces, not sure if once the PR goes, it won't...

I put my seeds directly into the wet paper towel method (in total-darkness), and put them on a low-heater. For a few hours though I think I turned it up too high, and half of my seeds still haven't sprouted (after 5 days). They're regular, more landrace-type seeds (Congo reg and Nepal...

PS - how often does Snow come out with new seeds? Wondering if I should order from the November menu, or wait until new seeds come out... not sure if it's once a year, or more often.

Just curious, do you know the difference between the 2016 and sweet berry Panama red? Might pick up that strain... don’t got much room, was thinking of running the Zacatecas p2 x Michoacán, but seems people are more happy with the Panama Red, thinking of just getting that one and holding out...

Funny, exact same thing happened to me in Mexico with a pocket knife, cops even threatened to stab me with it to prove it's dangerous (I was saying I used it as a tool, which I did, for fishing and stuff). Later I heard if the blade is less than 4 fingers long, its legal. (Was less than 4 finger...

It will be soon, but bringing seeds still isn't. And Mexican cops aren't fun to deal with

I've heard the dogs can sniff them out. All airports in Mexico have dogs supposedly. I've had experiences with Mexican cops, not fun.

I wanted to send some seeds to my friend in Mexico so we can grow them together once I'm down there later this year. Anyone know the best way to mail seeds? I was thinking of taking them with me on the plane, but was thinking by mail would be less risky. Wasn't sure which carrier would be...

Anyone try Swamis Chocolate Thai IBL? Was looking around for the authentic Chocolate Thai (the stuff you could get 30-40 years ago), wondering if this is it.
