Hey there Who!
Everything looks great, and love the the Anole, or whatever it is!
Everything looks great, and love the the Anole, or whatever it is!
I wanna flip my 600 on but I don't want to stress them out too much, and I am really wanting to try main-lining. But think it would be best for my sake to have them grow a little slower so I can keep up with the initial steps of main-lining. Idk. hahah. The Day 22 is looking nice. There are some different ones in there mane.I used t8s (i think ) for the first week, then its been 600s all the way.
Thanks jig. I am very happy I started over, I knew something was off.I have that meter. Fuck your plants look great. I'm really glad you started over... I'm sure you are too.
thanks friedrice... mmmmm.good looking plants man.
This grow or next grow im going to experiment going organic.
Ill be coming to you for some advice
Are you giving organic teas in hydroton?
OH! ok gotcha.thanks friedrice... mmmmm.
I had leftover hydroton from my old rdwc set-up and decided to top off all the containers with it. Looks nice and helps the soil retain some moisture.
Edit: Thats some supersoil in the containers though.
Thanks bass, good to see ya around Im not sure what he is but I havnt seen him for two days.Hey there Who!

about 1 week in I put these babies under the 600,,, I cant help myself.I wanna flip my 600 on but I don't want to stress them out too much, and I am really wanting to try main-lining. But think it would be best for my sake to have them grow a little slower so I can keep up with the initial steps of main-lining. Idk. hahah. The Day 22 is looking nice.

Maybe I will flip my 600 on. fuck. hah.
You and I both brother! growing out my own crosses still hasnt really sunk in yet, its something I always dreamed of doing. I'll start feeling it if/when I see grade A quality stuff. Genetics genetics.happy plants,can not wait to see flower pics.
Im glad its working for you vtm.hey who i almost gave in to the urge to take pics again but hell ill give em another week with constant tea love. amazing dat fucking amazing results, one day id like to meet up and shake your fucken hand for real my man.
Some bullshit sandstorm cd I "borrowed" from someone at boarding school... Yeah Iv had it for that long and have never liked it ahahahaha.What CD is that on the floor there bud? Raffi's Greatest Hits? No no, wait, Pointer Sisters? It is PS, isn't it
edit: did Mr Lizard come back? Give him a name, and he will come.
edit edit: Just checked the babies. ?P x SB1 #3 has made it! Also, #1 and #2 are starting to develop purple stems...
Good stuff.OH! ok gotcha.
I did that with my last grow. Every 3-4 inches of soil i put one layer of hydroton. Definitely made a difference.
Thats also though cause i was too lazy to go buy perlite
lol Im not that talented hahaha, great visual.I almost poured my hydroton into my pots too, but thought it'd be too much biting your style.
You sound about like me with the computer. I have my laptop open to RIU and youtube, while I play games on my desktop on my tv, wife next to me reading stuff on the internet using her phone. Only difference is I'm just snacking on cinnamon and sugar pita chips, listening to remixes of a song I'm embarrassed to say lol.
we dont use promix here is promix a peat based medium? My problem is my local gardeners supply sells a potting mix with the dolo and calicitic lime in it. If you say its gtg i may slpurge on that and mix it with the rest of these ingredients(obviously omitting the lime) so yeah im thinking kiddie pool to kix it up andf gtg, no more soil recycling for me. It gave me some issue's with calmg this go round dont wanna see that again.Iv been getting quite a few pms from different people asking me a few things here and there.
For any organic beginner or experienced grower... This is where its at, nice and simple and very effective.
For anyone wanting to try some simple tried and true supersoil.... This is for you, it has grown some of my finest plants... If you do this in conjunction with a few guano kelp teas here and there you will never turn back.
Its called vicks supersoil. I believe Genuity has given this recipe a go with good results.
I added prices.
1 Bale sunshine mix #2 or promix (3.8 cu ft)~~~~~~~~~~~$36
8 cups Bone Meal - phosphorus source~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$8
4 cups Blood Meal - nitrogen source ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$18 for 8lb bag, you only use half... leftovers!
1 1/3 cups Epsom salts - magnesium source~~~~~~~~~~~~$3
3-4 cups dolomite lime -calcium source & pH buffering~~~~~$10
4 cups kelp meal.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$8
9kg (25 lbs) bag pure worm castings~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$20 for 30lb add all 30lbs
- Mix thoroughly, moisten, and let sit 1-2 weeks before use.
Thats $103 for about 5 cubic feet of kick ass soil. This should last you a long time and you can re amend and reuse and it only gets better with time,,, so start soon and there are leftovers! I add some azomite but thats optional, 2 cups I guess. I also added 2tbl humic acid concentrate to the water wetting it down, also optional.
The tea is optional, but highly suggested even if its only a few times. Use the tea about once a week in flower if the plants need it. Heavy feeders will get more tea.
The ingredients will last you several grows.
Veg mix-1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 1 cup of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
Flowering nute tea mix:
2/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano
2/3 cup Earth Worm Castings
2/3 cup High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 2 cups of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
I hope some people copy this down, you wont regret it.
Edit: I haven't been using the liquid karma for a while,,, not completely necessary... but beneficial nonetheless.
Thank you roomie.Beautiful plants and method. You're an inspiration, Who.
The last onesome hockey puck of hash there who! is that from the wall you won the comp with yeah?
Yes it is. I have some issues paying for peat, its very destructive to the environment and takes hundreds or more years to grow back. There are plenty of more renewable alternatives.we dont use promix here is promix a peat based medium? My problem is my local gardeners supply sells a potting mix with the dolo and calicitic lime in it. If you say its gtg i may slpurge on that and mix it with the rest of these ingredients(obviously omitting the lime) so yeah im thinking kiddie pool to kix it up andf gtg, no more soil recycling for me. It gave me some issue's with calmg this go round dont wanna see that again.
I sure did bass. I mixed it into the medium of about half of them, I didnt put any at the bottom because the drainage holes are too big and these little fuckers already get ALL OVER THE PLACE lol Im actually doing really good about that so far.Hey Who, Do you just put hydroton balls over your supersoil?
