This would make sense if you didn't have it backwards. I cannot imagine a simpler way to grow than the LOS way. Get your soil mix jacked and water for 12 weeks... Opposed to chemmy ferts where it is pH and PPM at EVERY water. Constantly spending money, having to tweak feeds as plants grow etc. Living soil the plant is in control. Perfect health with so little effort. Once you add blumats there is nothing much to do you don't even water any more.
If you say so, I'm happy for you. This looks .....like something I'll never do:

Living organic soil from start through recycling
[HR][/HR]Quote:

Here's the base mix I suggest to all humans in dry US gallons..

3 to 4 gallons regular peat moss with no additives...no need for fancy packages...(if the topsoil,compost,EWC in the recipe look like they might be muddy...use 4 gallons,if not use 3...or adjust accordingly)
1 gallon HIGH quality earthworm castings
1 gallon local HIGH quality topsoil screened for this potting mix
2 or more gallons small and/or medium sized pumice,perlite,or lava rock...consistencies vary,adjust accordingly.
1 gallon vermiculite
2 gallons coco husk..rinsed well and fully hydrated
1 gallon leaf litter or forest duff..screened for this potting mix
1 gallon HIGH quality compost
1/2 gallon screened clay or bentonite

1/2 cup this 3 part lime mix based off Steve Soloman's 3 -way lime mix..adjusted by Coot a few years ago.....for the peat moss..and a continued supply of mag,cal,and sulfur as you recycle.

Since the start of this thread we have since determined that dolomite is not necessary,but this lime mix still works for the peat moss ph regardless.

1 part powdered dolomite lime
1 part agricultural gypsum
2 parts powdered oyster shell

These dried commercially available amendments...

2 cups crab shell meal
4 cups acadian kelp meal
4 cups fish meal OR N. bat guano
4 cups fish bone meal
1 cup sul-po-mag...aka langbeinite
2 cups neem seed meal..or karanja seed meal
1 cup alfalfa

Mix all ingredients together WELL....then fill your pots with the dry and mixed base mix.

Now make enough Aerated Compost Tea following Microbe Man's instructions to saturate the mix in each pot until it is thoroughly moist.

Let this sit undisturbed for at least 3 to 4 weeks before planting.

Now...

..considering the type of cannabis grown,this will be fine as a water only,no ph'ing,no flush beginning organic soil mix INTENDED for recycling....there may be a need to topdress or supply another ACT in mid-flower..type of cannabis depending.

Some types of cannabis have larger root networks and can utilize more from the soil,some types are more sensitive to certain un-composted amendments like alfalfa and fish meal...but 3 or more weeks allowing this mix to 'cook' which actually means composting or breaking down of organic materials. This should be fine for almost anything considering you have assembled the components according to the variables of your material.

If you feel that 3 weeks may be pushing it before transplanting fresh cuts into....ease your mind and let it sit for 4 or more weeks..just make sure it remains moist. Moisture is critical for the microbial processing of organic matter.

If you lack one or more of the ingredients,look for suitable replacements...most replacements are fine.

I will talk more about re-amending as the thread progresses.




Somehow...a capfull of dynagrow per gallon of water seems a lot easier. But I am ecstatic for your happiness. Really...to each their own...you can always mail me some bud if you're dying to convince me. :weed:

That's what organic people don't get. Many of us don't have the time nor space. Outdoors, organics makes sense to me, but all this prepping and waiting... I got no time for this shit.

Lilroach,

That Montaro would taste much better if you take that Ocean Forrest and not kill the microbes with synth. Use just good water and top dress when noticing a deficiency. Just try it on one.
Will you please knock off this shit in this thread, or are you just going to shit on everyone else who posts here and doesn't grow the way you do? There are plenty of LOS/ROLS self congratulatory little jerk off clubs on this forum and others, this thread isn't one of them.

also: finished plant pics plz nao thanks.

I'll get some up tonight, I promise! Having a harvesting party tonight. I will also take some photos of my Goji Gal who's in a 5 gallon this go round and the Blueberry Hill monsters. I think I've got a SSDD in there, I know that one of them is in veg.

Oh and the white lotus and ancient seedlings are healthy and in the red cups. Really hoping for a female this go round with the lotus.

Hey on the bay does bodhi give freebies with packs you purchase?

I am hesitant to buyout anything because the bank transfer thingy scares me. I'm really careful about stuff like that and mailing money just seems confusing and complicated.

Seedsman bluberryhill looks so good to me but I can't afford 160 dollar seed purchase right now.
Most of the time you do. Depends what doc bob has in storage and what was given to him to issue freebies.

Together? Me personally I'd rather f 2 them. There's gold in them beans!

But if my ancients show some promise, and my very heavily indica influenced bag beans (Iranian g 13 ) turn out to be promising, there will be a cross in the future.

Problem is since most of the parents are either appalachia or snowlotus, combining two of them with the same parents will heavily bring out either one. Something to think about.

I'm going to have some amazing SSDD real soon. It looks like I have some BO to play with too, three completely diff female structures.

I haven't grown out enough to look for comparison. How influential is the father in Bodhi's crosses? Does it tend to drown out the mothers he uses, or let them shine through? I'm thinking that might also have an impact on what the F2 generation might look like.

From my limited experience snow lotus with the purple stems seems to show up in the crosses. Appalachia in one ssdd shows up but in the other not so much. Same with BBH. But again this is limited experience

Snow Lotus is a complementary male. Lends its frost, structure, thc boost, cbd boost, and yield. If you desire taste from the mother side even if the Snow Lotus expresses its recessive traits from the blockhead it does not completely dominate the taste profile. If you are looking for mother side genetics of a certain cross with SL. You have a better chance of obtaining it versus Appalachian male.

Appalachian stud. I call it the transformer male. It is quite the dominate male .You can get wicked combinations when Appy expresses either dominant or recessive traits. It really can surprise you at times because sometimes you wonder how could this mother cut hit with Appy produce this.

Have not had experience with NDNGuy's 88g13/hp. Could not tell you if its a complementary, dominating or a little both.

Here in CO, they keep growers paranoid by periodically raiding even the legitimate ones, just to check in and say hi, basically. Most growers who get popped here for going over their plant limit (which is low, usually 6-24 per person depending on # of people and whether they are medical users) get busted for doing something incredibly stupid (frequently a domestic violence complaint) to get the cops into their house. Here in CO, those who have Xcel for their power are very familiar with tiered billing, they hammer anyone using over what they consider a normal monthly kwh. I highly recommend living somewhere in CO with public electric, when I had a public utility instead of Xcel my utility bill was half as much for a bigger house with more lights.

For people with an extremely low plant limit, I have one word (or maybe four?): SCROG.



Yeah, Xcel will jump on any chance to charge people extra. They are trying to push something through here to eliminate the credit people get for contributing solar power to the grid, and have said numerous times they will be trying to charge people for the 'privilege of using the grid' even though they are contributing more power than they are using, and unless you want to go through the effort of creating a totally no-natural-gas house, there's no fucking escape from them.

Please knock this shit off and keep your posts exclusively to bodhi related topics.

Thank you
