Total Noob using teas and I am a believer

I think we all make that mistake at first. Toxic amounts, are toxic amounts, regardless of chemical or organic base. It's all about the right amount, at the right time. Even with a tea, sometimes, less is more. I just find it easier to help out a plant with a slight def, rather than having to mess with 'lock' is all. So many myths about organics it's sometimes hard to get it right at first, what a shame. I think this thread is helping clear alot of those myths out, thanks Gandalf!

Peace & Love

Alright. I'll go back and get out the post. So a couple more plain waterings then feed with a diluted tea.

Thanks for info mane. I'm sure loving these teas how healthy the ladies have been looking, now I just got to get my feeding schedule down. I'll have to show off one of my other later I'm harvesting in a week, started teas when she was in week 4, now she is just DANK! She just did a 360 on me completely.

Went back and read your post on pg 124, defiantly helped me out. Going to give my girls some nice plain water and come back with a little calmer, less P filled tea.

Again thanks

This is for Hamish. It worked bro. I ran teas the whole way with a bubbler on the entire time to keep things fresh. I added new water and fresh tea stuff every 10-14 days. I kept my paint strainer in the res full of my goodies. I ran the pump only until the bottom quarter inch of the blocks were wet. I neglected these to the point of being indifferent as to their survival. They had no direct light ever. They did produce some nice little nugs full of healthy Kali Mist seeds organically grown. If these were under direct light I could have pulled off a killer harvest. I decided early to use it for seeds rather than kill them. I am so glad I did. There was no mold or anything. Don't laugh at the pictures. This was only to see if something could live this way. It turned out to be far better than flowers. I just wrapped all the taller ones together and tied them to the pump cord. Total abuse.

I think I have a shit head for a neighbor. I don't want drama (for obvious reasons) but I'm tempted to confront this guy. Looking for some opinions from my organic brothers here....

These guys moved in a couple months ago. They have a couple kids around the age of my kids so it's been kind of nice. Last weekend they were going to Chicago for a family road trip and the people that were supposed to watch their dog backed out last minute. They called us Thursday and asked if we would mind taking their pooch in for the weekend, and we said of course. No problem. So the dog stayed with us Friday, Saturday, and all day Sunday. They got home that evening. The dog was really cool, and we love dogs to begin with, so it was no sweat off my balls to help them out.

Fast forward a couple days, and I get a call at work from my wife on Wednesday. She wasn't pissed or anything, just had to share this odd interaction she had with the husband. My wife had our dog on a leash and was standing on the edge of their property talking with another neighbor. Apparently this guy was watching, and noticed that our dog took a dump on the edge of their lot. Now keep in mind that we have aprox 1 acre lots, so it's not like our dog shit right in front of their door. Our dog was on a retractable leash and my wife had her back turned to the dog while chatting with the other neighbor. My wife wrapped her conversation and proceeded to walk back to our house when the husband hollered across the yard asking my wife if she was planning on picking that up. Of course my wife had no idea what he was talking about, so he proceeded to tell her that our dog crapped on his lawn, and the right thing to do would be to pick it up. My wife obliged, walked home, grabbed a plastic bag, and went back and picked up the tiny turd from our 20lb dog.

On it's face it's really no big deal, and I agree that the courteous thing to do is pick up after your dog, BUT he had to have seen that she wasn't aware of this, and on top of that we just watched THEIR DOG who undoubtedly dumped all over our yard umpteen times over the weekend while we watched him. He's apparently OK with that, but not OK with one stray turd on his property. I want to go over to buddies house and ask him to come pick up the 14 piles of shit that his dog left for us to clean up, but the mrs doesn't want me to confront him knowing that if he gets smart with me I'm likely to slap him upside the head.

I don't know. Maybe I'm over reacting but who does that? I would never holler at a neighbor to do that unless it was a pattern of someones dog constantly shitting on my lawn. If I weren't growing marijuana I would 100% have a chat with him, but in the big picture I'm starting to think that the juice isn't worth the squeeze. How would you guys handle this?
