Interesting read, Puna Bud. Glad I've given up on dutch genetics, even though i do have a fair amount of leftovers in my bean bag.
I'd just go ahead and toss them! I truly only see two places that you can trust their work across the ocean, and that's 'Mr. Nice', and the other is a Swiss company, damn forgot their name. But they use a lot of Tom Hill's genetics. Anyways , I've hated Sam the Skunkman for over 15 or more years for all his works with the DEA. Not to mention he just wants to corner the market. Of course, fuck all the High Times assholes too for their part in help keeping the industry down.Interesting read, Puna Bud.

jiffy seed starting mix all da way!!!!hey what starter soil do u guys use? I was wondering because i am using 1/2 ffof and 1/2 sunshine mix#4 i did this because the guys at the hydro store said the fox farms is too strong for starters and the mix#4 contains no nutes. So i was supposed to buy nutes too but never have nuff money at da time so which one would u guys go with? Earth juice any good?View attachment 2791927View attachment 2791928plant is darkstar and i just planted 7 seeds str8 2 soil, that i got from my friend that he made with (jack herrer) x (3 finger hash x columbian) not stabilized yet but his came out pretty good
I tried Earth Juice and I didn't like it. The EJ grow formula smells horrendous and is super acidic...ph is around 3. You are supposed to bubble it for 12-18 hours before use, which will supposedly bring the PH back up but I never found that to be true. Too much hassle for a bottled product IMO, you are better off just brewing a compost tea from your own yard for free.hey what starter soil do u guys use? i was wondering because i am using 1/2 FFOF and 1/2 sunshine mix#4 i did this because the guys at the hydro store said the fox farms is too strong for starters and the mix#4 contains no nutes. so i was supposed to buy nutes too but never have nuff money at da time so which one would u guys go with? earth juice any good?
so what do u usually mix with your soil or what do u feed your plants exactly? because doesnt the soil like FF or RO only feed for a little while? what do you make Your tea with?I tried Earth Juice and I didn't like it.

I use Roots Organic as my starter mix/soil base with my super soil. First year with super soil, and I must say it really brings out the flavors in your herbs and is super simple to use once you have everything mixed up and cooked. Just water with the hose and maybe some compost tea if you feel like giving those microbes a boost.
You might wanna check out kelp4less.com if you need any soil amendments or ferts. They ship free to all 50 states and have some of the harder to find stuff you cant get locally. None of that fancy pre-bottled hydro store stuff but they have pretty much all the ingredients that goes into them.

There are tons of soil recipes all over. I use subcool's super soil mix in my final transplant before flowering outdoors, recipe is in the "subcool's old school organics" section of this forum. It is a little costly initially, but you save money in the long run by not having to use overpriced bottled stuff. But I also use homemade earthworm castings and compost, which saves money from having to buy it.so what do u usually mix with your soil or what do u feed your plants exactly? because doesnt the soil like FF or RO only feed for a little while? what do you make Your tea with?
Check Ace hardware, brah...they actually have a decent amount of stuff, at least in puna & hilo. Or there's Ohana greenhouse, they are a little expensive but have pretty much everything. Otherwise Amazon and Kelp4less both ship to hawaii for free.Just moved back home. So, not familiar with what is available in stores here for horticulture. Have to grow indoors. Not and option for outdoor grow where I live.
I'm just using some cheap Nutes, Growers Secret- Grow Big 521 ( Hawaii local Co.) and Alaskan MorBloom 0 10 10 during flower. Soil - NIU ( augmented with some supplements.) Picked up @ Kmart..LOL
So far the Grow Big 521 is doing fine for Vegging stage.
Good to be Home
