    What’s wrong with my sativa plant!!

    try to dial it in with a specific soil mix, and then finetuning it from there. one thing i like to stress to people is to try a grow without ever adding anything to the soil. see how far a plant can actually go with nothing but the soil and water, you'd be amazed on how LITTLE the plant...

    What’s wrong with my sativa plant!!

    probably locking out all the nutrients by adding too much molasses. black strap shouldn't be used that consistently, once a week at most and thats with a media that is closer to inert, with what you have in the soil is probably is simply too much nutrients, too often. cannabis plants don't...

    Gnats! Wanna sterilize soil

    cover the top inch and a half with horticultural sand, put a small reciprocating fan pointed near the soil to help keep them away. set the fan on "rotate' gnats are poor flying insects so fans they hate you also may be watering too much, ideal soil moisture and gnats don't typically coincide...

    PH issues or Heat stress?

    it's crucial to only water as needed rather than a daily schedule, too many variables involved otherwise. and the best method to check to see if they need watering is by checking the weight of the container. by looking at the soil mix i think you have too fine of a soil mix, that will retain...

    Persistent broad leaf herbicides end up in your compost via contaminated horse manure.

    i get ya completely, and i agree to a degree , but not entirely. I acknowledge that my comment was pretty negative, but i did have good intentions. i've lived a good amount of my life worrying and overanalyzing things, it is my nature, and it still persists, much to my chagrin.. my point was...

    Persistent broad leaf herbicides end up in your compost via contaminated horse manure.

    this will sound counterintuitive.. but my advice to you is to do less thinking on it man the more you look, the less sleep you'll get trust me there, as someone who is obsessed with accumulating knowledge... don't research water... rainwater or otherwise, none of it is pure anymore humans have...

    using compost...

    best results i've ever gotten is ironically one of the simplest grows i've done. leaves, grass clippings, and steer manure for the compost ingredients. compost those three together and the results are not only very impressive but virtually no care is needed past watering the mix once...

    Pretty sure this one is super over watered…

    the sativa has what appears to be heatstress, when the leaves "taco" like that it means the plant is trying to prevent water transpiration, typically due to either very dry conditions or being too close to a light

    help me sort out potassium options?

    i'd be willing to bet that it was an issue with aeration, you want fresh aloe, go get a plant man, they're cheap and hardy as hell. and I wouldn't use Epsom at that frequency, personally. I've learned to pretty much not mess with the cations man. it may be alright for a while, maybe even...

    help me sort out potassium options?

    DING, DING, DING!!!! I betcha if you cut your existing soil with promix , at a 1/1 ratio that the plants would take off. that is the number one problem with organic mixes. by far, by faaaaaaaar.... I've done it multiple times, organic soils heavy in humus will do that, it's why they are so...

    help me sort out potassium options?

    I JUST got the time to read over the thread man, with the ingredients you are describing I am almost positive you don't have a potassium def. I don't care what the test says. not unless you are in tiny, tiny containers. OR if you didn't get the nutrients mixed well, but neem, kelp, and alfalfa...

    Organic Growing: An Introductory Guide

    haha, yea I had the same question a couple yrs ago helpin a grower in new Zealand not a term you run across much here. well, sounds like you have an empty market for yourself then eh? I'd go get a shit-ton of leaves and grass and do both at once, you'd be surprised how quick it goes. keep in...

    help me sort out potassium options?

    ok, sorry I haven't had much extra time recently to be around much. For potassium the general rule of thumb is this, you want plant based forms of it. period. I don't recommend using langbeinite unless the mix is being composted also. I prefer the following as sources of potassium alfalfa meal...

    How to correct P deficiency in cooked soil mix.

    ohhhhhh shit... yea, now we're talkin man comfrey is a MUST-HAVE, possibly the best organic nutrient all-in-all. with my respects to kelp meal.. the c/n ratio of comfrey is it's own lil compost maker, the beauty of it is that because it's so quickly broken down and already in plant form the...
