Man that is a compliment, coming from you. I know you are into your cameras, I just got lucky and must have been weaving just right, normally my pics are outta focus. They look ok when I'm looking into the thingy, but when I put 'em on the computer screen.

I'm thinking is has to do with the operator of the device 8)

Thanks for the compliment - Merry Christmas

This plant was germinated in mid-Nov and planted on Nov 21, just introduced the smallest amount of nutes (1/8 tsp per Gal of Grow Big).

21 day into 12/12..... this patience thing is just killer, my natural instinct it to do something.... but my years say, don't be stooopid, be patient. So, :) , I'm a patient guy :lol: :hump:

I'm beyond satisfied with my soil mix. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, the type of soil, enzymes and guano come together to produce really substantial branches, quite strong. On the negative side, I need to be less cavalier when I mix the guano, a bit more precision might not hurt, probably help.

Any case, enjoy

So what would your ideal soil mix be?

BTW those girls look awesome, can wait to see more. If only we could speed up time.bongsmilie

Well, of course I can't stop myself, so when I was germinating the seeds I had a number of different variables _ soil, rock wool, peat pellets, enzymes, nutes, additives and container.

IMHO, and I could be wrong. But this is what I'm gonna do for the 'C' batch. A clay pot, with a mixture of Fox Farms Ocean Forrest, 40% pearlite, mycorrhiaze & guano (10-2-1). Germinate the seed in the peat pellet, for whatever reason, this was the combination that provided the best results for me. Your mileage may vary. :)

You have no idea of how much I love this Dog sport

One man + One Dog = One Team

Schutzhund !

Check out the 3rd pic. The dog hit him with such force it lifted him off his feet. The dog knows he is going to be tested with the stick and is more than prepared. So awesome. IMHO

I haven't been mixing perlite into my ocean forest, as I ass-umed that it was good to go. I obviously agree with the Micor, should I start adding some perlite to it? I usually put some on the bottom for drainage, but I am thinking of stopping as when I autopsy those, the roots seem to go straight to the perlite, which soaks the water on the bottom, and just curl around, utilizing very little of the soil.

Sorry for the ramble, do you put anything on the bottom for drainage?

Hey Crazy :)

It is from Germany and called Schutzhund _ Schutz=protection + Hund=dog, so literally we have 'Protection Dog'.

The competition is in these areas, obedience, tracking, protection & test of courage. 1/2 of the score is the handler and the other 1/2 is the dog. So both the handler and the dog have to be on the same page.

Pictures I posted are from the test of courage, the dog can successfully pass all other venues but if they fail this, go home _ you are excused from today's trials.

All phases are designed to fully test the ability of the dog & handler to work as a team. You can see in the center pic how the dog will 'escort' the bad guy and if the bad guy acts weird in any way....hang on, the dog goes automatically.

Here is a pretty good example of automatic go. The dog will calmly watch events unfolding. The moment the contestant gets all excited and their hands and arms get above their shoulders, plus they are also a bit too close to the announcer and wham! No signal required. Pavlov
YouTube - Automatic Go.

what sport is that.

For the most part. Very concentrated at the bottom for sure. I was thinking of using something bigger that could possibly 'get dry'. Maybe a large gravel or marbles or something.
