They are regular mixed sex beans. I feel like I should only have to pay for the genes once. I don't need to trade a weed dealer in for a seed dealer. At least not a full-time seed dealer

I don't have to. I just want to do something different for the Auto Comp. I am using two tiered pots like what FD does, but I plan on LST'ing around the rim of the second pot. I figure I need about 5 inches or so before I can tie it down to the bottom(second pot) and start working it around. I was just wondering if Auto's are finicky to this type of thing and if 5 inches is too short to start tying down.

I think I know what this is...I think this is a Calcium deficiency. You can put a teaspoon of epsom salt to a gallon of water and fix it. I would let one of the more experienced vets chime in before just taking my word for it though. I've learned a ton from these guys.

you got it my friend, general compo is what we are using well Mossy and I anyway. I start off with some general no pre-ferted soil. I use cow compo seems to do good things.@ mossy
loads of pages ago just after I said I was going to knock soil growing indoors on the head you sujested some basic compost? I think, I get lost in this thread. what did you reccomend to me
I started 6 bad betty x nirvana skys which are going in hempy buckets, but I got other stuff I wouldnt mind going in soil if I could only find your recomended soil/compost??
I just take it out of the bag mix in some sterile perlite and then let them grow to sex this way and then add nutes when needed.

That's cool I am starting 3 mixed sex BHDs and picking one to enter as soon as they show green. Could end up being a male but it's anything goes so I will just grow a bull of a male if need be.

I hear ya. I am getting really close to needing a male for some pollen. Like you, I don't want to substitute a weed dealer for a seed dealer. I don't sell, but share with a few buds from time to time to keep the good karma flowing.

£4.28 for 70 ltrs.
That will get them to 12-14 days without any feed...
then I give them a little tickle with 50% dilute veg fert..(or tomato veg fert if you are Really covert..)
just to give them a bit energy for sex.
Then 1 or 2 feeds per week with 50% dilute flower fert....(or tomato fruit fert..)
depending on conditions.
If it is dank/low light I don't feed at all...
Cheers m8's...we are hoping because she is old..that it is just precautionary that they took her in..
waiting the results of an MRI.
It is just a bugger dealing with hospitals etc over the phone when you aren't in the same country.

I can imagine. Hope everything is okay. I'll send some prayers that way.
My box party was ruined by the fem bean HBD hermies
first 2 shots was before I noticed, the last shot is after
Nice one
going to get some now!Hope all goes well, you can have the rest of my good karma I was going to share out this year to send to the hospital
My J A Bowers mix I used for a few years is pre fert tomato grow bags, it was kinda backwards to what your doing, I would have to veg feed but when it came to flowering the was enough food in the soil to get the girls well into flowering.
I founf out this afternoon I made a big fuckup, I got my hard water and soft water canna terra flores mixed up so after mixing my nutes I ajust the PH, but cos I been using soft water nutes with hard water I been having to add way to much phosphoric acid which has fucked things up with nute uptake. that with the problems from my soil mix (my compost I added is way to hot) things havnt been going great!
Mossy that B&Q one has 3 reveiws, all 1 star. did they just get a bad batch, I had some J A Bowers like that so I binned it.
Don't buy "I usually buy ordinary B&Q compost, but I needed 6 if I was to get the 3 for £10 offer. There were only 2 ordinary left, so opted for the non-peat stuff, thought no worries as other type excellent. I was horrified unlike the ordinary compost this was dry/brittle and smelt very sweet/musty like it had began to rot. It also had a white look about it as if it was mouldy. Should have returned the bag, but dad said the others were the same!!! He so had just battled on to get the trees in regardless of its condition. If it is as bad as it appeared it could do young trees more harm than good and I doubt if they will gain much goodness from it!"
apalling "Thought it looked a bit rough when I opened it but carried on. Seeds - failed to germinate; cuttings - died; re-potted houseplant - looks decidedly unhappy. Small mushrooms sprouted both indoors and out - shouldn't this stuff be sterile? Really disappointed that the only peat-free compost at B & Q is such a poor advertisement for an eco-friendly alternative."
worst compost ever "got 3 bags for 10pounds it was a compleat waist of money we planted containers of seeds from b@q in to compost up to now four weeks later not a sign of anything growing always had compost but first and last time to use peat free we have always purchest b@q product in past with no problem"
Or is it just that there growing other things to what we are growing

I just started LST on one of my ER's because she was refusing to stretch. She was just around 5 or 6 inches at a month old.
. She seems to responding well to it. I started using tent stakes because I ran out of pipe cleaners and they are easier to push into the dirt. Here is Tessa
. At the very front is her top. Just behind that is where the base of the stalk is, then it starts to break left around the outside of the pot leading to the top you see. (If I wasn't feeling lazy at the moment I would have marked out a line on the pic to indicate where the stalk is, but I am sure you get the idea.

Why do you suppose HBD fems are more likely to hermie? I really wanted to get some of those beans but if this really holds true with HBD's then I am back to square 1 at choosing my next strains. I would really like to try some of Kannabia's autos but the few things that I have heard has not been good.watch out for hermies if your HBD are fem beans.
good karma sent your way mossy
Is that hisser I see in the house

Get the mixed sex beans. Less chance to hermi and the opportunity to breed your own seed stock. 10 mixed sex beans are the same price as 5 fem beans for most of the short stuff strains.

I absolutely love the idea of breeding some. I really don't have the room for it while trying to keep my smoke jars stocked. Maybe I will build a small box for breeding. But that will have to be further down the road. I am sort of strapped for cash after Christmas like most people.

SS has problems with their feminized beans...
I buy 10 packs of regular HBD and have had 1 male out of 25 beans...
RRF is producing all females also, 10-10 females so far...
I would just buy regular HBD or RRF because the female ratio is amazing with their regular beans, Their feminized beans may as well be called Male beans.haha
Also their feminized HBD are really short and mangie looking while their regular HBD grow amazingly.
I like their mixed pack but its hard to tell what strain you are growing with each individual plant.
Anybody with some exp. growing SS strains would be able to tell whats whats but even then there are some test crosses and accidental crosses that would be unknown...

I hear ya i am more than 10 hrs away from my fam i couldn't imagine being in another country
its hard enough to get there when your just a few states away i couldn't imagine another country
I hope the results from the MRI are good and it was a precaution rather than a search for a cause.
Thoughts are with you my friend and karma sent
