Thanks, I have to give a lot of that credit to the soil, since I didn't mix it myself or anything. I've been very pleased with the soil (don't remember if I said it in my first post, but its Base Camp from Elevation Organics). It is very hot so they need very light ferts so far, but I like it like that. I'm currently watering with nutes once every two-three days, and on the rest I just use water, a light amount of GH FloraBlend, and beneficials. The roots seem to be great, but it could maybe have a little better drainage.

Clankie I always thought you did both. Did not know you leaned to hydro mostly. Some days I really miss hydro but have not done it over 12 years. It just didn't seem natural to me eventhough I have a strong background in laboratory science.

You checked out hempy buckets calicat? Feels more natural with near hydro results. I had the same problem. Hydro just felt wrong and its hard to get cometely devoted to something that doesn't feel right to you. Hempy buckets feel way more like watering a bucket of dirt it's awesome!

No Hgk I have not. Hmm thanks for sharing your thoughts. Never know I might go that route if I get sick of soil but not anytime soon. I like getting my hands dirty lol.

We run about half ours in the rev inspired "super soil" we are just kinda gettin the hang of it. The yields are low low low but I think we need to tweak our veg tea a bit. Where there's a bud it's huge and dense and delicious!

I'm so all over the place it's silly but I'm really loving the yield outa my current system of nutrients. Hempy seems to speed up the veg time dramatically so I can't wait to see what they do in flower. I just flipped a handful of them.

How do you run soil? All organic living soil or passive hydro?

Organic and synthetic

I've switched over to all organic after being quite satisfied with the results I got outdoors. Plants are mostly liking what I've done. Found some stuff called PyroClay they have responded well too also. Seems like a decent biological source of silica. A lot cheaper than that aptus shit which is so ridiculously overpriced I don't know where to begin the rant.

I paid 8 bucks for 400g and there were large bags for like 120. 400g is enough for a lot of waterings and it's in an acid form so it's readily available to the plant. I'm pretty sure that potassium silicate is mostly unavailable to the plant unless there's biological activity, chelators etc hence you see less dramatic results than you see with aptus. Plus it is a whore to work with anyway due to pH shock. Saw a guy fuck a crop over because he did his potassium silicate wrong (and no it wasn't me although I fucked over almost everything I've ever run the first time running it on some level).

Currently I am running my own super soil mix. It's light on magnesium so I add epsom salts (small amounts) with most waterings. I also add GH's humic/fulvic mix and sometimes some sugar from some molasses. Since I have city water I use this sulfur based chemical with the trade name Prime that is used to remove chlorine and chloramine from aquariums. Supposedly non toxic and sulfur is good for the plants anyway if it's even available. You put in only a couple drops per gallon anyway as it's for trace levels of specific chemicals.

I'm not sure it's necessary but I do any way. A 20 dollar bottle will probably last me years.

i've dabbled in soil, but i'd never found a mix i could get as good results as i can get with the dro. i do totally feel ya on the artificiality, thats why i run coco/perl these days. i can use compost teas and tons of microbials, and then in flower i can still tailor my nutrient feed exactly to my liking. everyone likes their own ways, though.

What up y'all?? Been putting in ot hrs. I'm stuck on either going sog or vert route. I'm in the design process now. Should be up and running by nov-dec. Their is a guy on here that did a sweet 600 watt sog. I want to go hydro but my work won't let me get that much interaction. So I need a grow and go method. Hempy seems to be my golden ticket.

Oh anyone seen Gud?? I ain't seen him for a minute.

It appears as if his avatar is now the stock grey face. This a sign of gettin hit with the hammer?

heres a study i thought id share for you organic nuts

I haven't popped in this thread in a while. I'm about to take down my outdoor Z7 (CBD Crew) and Pandora's Box (Tga).

Eldorado (Nirvana/Sativa Seeds)and Panama (selfed from local cut of unknown origin) just broke ground for the first round of indoor this fall/winter.

Let us know how the Z7 and Pandora finish for you and how the smoke is.

1 Northern Lights "I hope its a fem" 1week, 1 TH Akorn aka Snowbud Fem 23weeks, And 1 THC BOMB "I think my thc bomb is dying -______-"

Thanks. I will report back when they come down. I'm planning to make the Z7 all into hash for tincture. The Pandora's Box will be half hash/tincture, half flowers. Mrs. Medshed likes the Pandy flowers. It's pretty much all she smokes. I prefer tincture for most days and hash if I want a little extra kick.

Gud where the fuck you at amigo?? Just finishing some SPG outdoors haven't decided what to run indoors. Hit a MAFUCKA up when you leave the lab for a bit to get fresh air.

If you want to tweak your teas and maximise your organic setup, then talk to Rrog. He's really taken stuff to the next level for me and a few other guys. Here's his thread:

https://www.rollitup.org/michigan-patients/583341-so-who-here-growing-true.html

He's a very cool guy with a very cool vibe, that thread has got 1200 posts and not a single trolling incident or argument.
