Ok I will delete the previous post in a sec... cool brother you have salt build up. Using that Dairy Doo soil right... here's what I would love for you to try: Pure water, no nutes, she needs a little flush. Organic, a flush is mostly going to cause more problems, so you need a probiotic treatment as much to lock up essential nutes as to go to work on any residual ammonia nitrogen in the soil. Top dress with two tablespoons Bokashi or Gro-Kashi, then a one inch straw mulch. Even better would be to mix the bokashi with a few hand fulls of earth worm castings or good home made compost. Top dress with pro biotics, mulch so the micro herd has every single opportunity to get ahead asap. After top dressing, every time you water, wait ten minutes, then water again. This ensures no salty pockets remain in the soil, no dry patches either. Watering twice is pretty essential for soil conditioning. If she doesnt look netter in seven days you might want to hold her back from flower.the only Golden Gage giving problems
I stopped the N heavy nutes 2 weeks ago and added 3 ml of bloom to try and balance it out, ppms are 450 going in.
I was playing with my settings on the Nikon and took some new shots but dont want to clog this thread with my crappy shots

I've started to do this too. Otherwise water just runs threw my pots and out the bottom and like you say I prolly get dry spots.I like to water them a little then leave em alone till it soaks in completely. Takes me an hour to water four plants, but while I wait for them to soak in I do other things like laundry or tending to the little plants.
I also let the water sit in the tray for a couple min before shop vacuuming it out to ensure I dont have a cone of dry soil in the base.
Do you use aloe Mr H? It's a great surfactant that will break the surface tension of the soil and allow for even saturation.I've started to do this too. Otherwise water just runs threw my pots and out the bottom and like you say I prolly get dry spots.
THIS is one of the best tips for soil condition. Aloe is a miracle.Do you use aloe Mr H? It's a great surfactant that will break the surface tension of the soil and allow for even saturation.
Little bit goes a long way
Another good soil conditioning tip is if you have problems with the water going through the soil add a drop of dawn and it will help a lot.THIS is one of the best tips for soil condition. Aloe is a miracle.
Dish soap can be used, but I would opt for something like Dr Bronners instead. Commercial dish soap like Dawn often contains anti-microbial ingredients which isn't very good for anyone rocking an organic soilAnother good soil conditioning tip is if you have problems with the water going through the soil add a drop of dawn and it will help a lot.
The reason I specifically said dawn is because it doesn't have anti-microbial ingrediants and it is also biodegradable and safe to use. I grow organic R/O water only ( make some brews [3x pewp , 1x ancient forest humus, 1x molasses).Dish soap can be used, but I would opt for something like Dr Bronners instead.

I use fresh aloe in all sprays and feeds. The girls seem to love it, and it helps with burn in hot times too...Dish soap can be used, but I would opt for something like Dr Bronners instead.

Try using a silicate if your having heat problems they work great.I use fresh aloe in all sprays and feeds. The girls seem to love it, and it helps with burn in hot times too...
Lol... I wish... pretty much nothing you guys are used to getting every day is available readily on our market. Then to top it off I am not exactly in an urban center. My source of Si is mainly DE eaten by horses and crapped out and composted by tours truly. The aloes grow wild here that is very handy. Let me put it like this: if I run out of rolling paper, it might take a day or more before I can get more...Try using a silicate if your having heat problems they work great.
That sucks, I saw some guy rolled a joint with a cured weed leaf I gotta learn how to do that...Lol...

That's no accident. European nations and American business interest, straight left Africa to the dogs after colonization lost its global appeal. Rich bastards took everything of value and left you guys stuck trying to rebuild from the scraps left. It really is a fucked up story, the history of Africa. The world's largest continent and many American think it is a flipping country.Lol... I wish... pretty much nothing you guys are used to getting every day is available readily on our market.

Aficianado Seeds website had a blunt rolled with fan/sugar leaves and wrapped in gold leaf. It's off their site now, seen it when I was looking for that Pinot Noir frenchy is always raving about.That sucks, I saw some guy rolled a joint with a cured weed leaf I gotta learn how to do that...
