@PaganRich, you're welcome. With prepared mixes, I think it's important to see what the manufacturer suggests. I do that as much for you, as to see what is going on out there for me. As for your mix and the compost tea, I can't say outside of, "That's a good looking plant you've grown!" So...

Thank you everybody for participating in this conversation. I've waited to reply to see if I had anything noticeable to show, and well, the difference has been stark. They just don't agree. If the BD and GG#4 were a married couple, they'd have married in Vegas while drunk, then woke up the...

I was born with a bad back. Hasn't slowed me down much, but I've also learned to adapt. This is a 4X2X6 grow cabinet that I built, as you can see, with comfort in mind. Made from 2 sheets of plywood, 30 feet of poplar face frame, a few lengths of 2'x10" melamine shelving, a few latches and...

So it has been a while. The orchard needed care, the raised bed garden is getting a major overhaul, I've been out riding my bike while I still can, and this cancer stuff is taking way too much time, energy, and money. At least I am alive and feeling OK, for now. I can still sit down and commune...

(NOTE ON BRAND USAGE: Prior to legalization, my stealth strategy meant all I ever used was off-the-shelf home center lighting, garden center fertilizer and landscape supply catalog grow media and containers. My flower, fruit, herb, and vegetable gardening covered for my cannabis grows. I learned...

I'm not a fan of corporate "Big Bud" America -- whether I'm paying too much for vapid bud down at Dispensary Inc., or paying 3-5x standard retail for nutes and grow media simply because I'm growing cannabis and not tomatoes. Those things bother me enough that I'll go to great lengths to avoid...

Folks at The New Yorker are having some fun now that rec. cannabis is legal there. https://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/my-new-weed-store

Forum has descended into name calling, so I'm out of here. Short visit back, but too much hate on the internet. So for all the bashing and hate, I thought I'd leave with this statement from Scotts Miracle-Gro. We can use more friends...

if you are using a peat/perlite mix you may not need to go through all the folderal with the RO filtration and Cal/Mag issues. As you mentioned the RO process is taking stuff out that you have to add back in, so why take it out in the first place? The high acidity of peat buffers the alkalinity...

Current Grow, Weeks 3, 5, 10, 12 & 17 (Harvest) So here I am with the current state of grow as the continuous grow system gets more fully underway. Things are a touch crispy as I missed a watering. Oops. They will recover. At 3 and 5 weeks I have the grow cup challenge going. Left to right is...

I'm ready to harvest, I think. I'd like to read some opinions on what has gone on with the trichomes. Halfway through flowering the trichomes were quite clear, but many of the tops seemed amber. I thought, first they turn cloudy, then amber. Along the way I took a close look at the trichomes...

Things are really going great with this Amnesia Trance (AMS). Week 8 of 12/12, we're seeing the leaves turn to their autumn colors, and the colas are really beginning to fatten up. I started to flush as soon as I saw the plant draining the nutes from the leaves. Into week 9, I've flushed...

I have hard water. Ph averages just below 8; PPM varies between 130 and 180. I use a mix of about 1 part peat moss to 3-to-4 parts perlite, straight tap water that has been allowed to sit a day or so, and Scott's Miracle-Gro Vegetable and Herb fertilizer (this is not the stuff Nebulae Haze...

I have been adding the Botanicare Sweet/Berry supplement to my Miracle-Grow Vegetables & Herbs (not the regular stuff, this has more natural ingredients)/ Miracle Gro/Bloom Booster mix for the past 10 days. Prior to using this supplement I would get a big rush of grape aroma after watering...

At week 15, Week 7 of 12/12. Top buds are now 16" away from light and doing well. I've gone to straight Miracle-Gro Bloom Booster with Botanicare Berry booster. Will begin to flush soon, then go to molasses. Everything is looking pretty good. And smelling wonderful.

SoOrbudgal got me thinking the other day, when she mentioned we were lucky to grow 12 plants here in Michigan. What are your laws and how do you plan your grows within the law? With a 12 plant limit, I have 4 plants dedicated to a continuous grow, (seed/early veg, late veg, early flower, late...

I want to keep my White Widow Extreme genetics going. Do it easy; non-feminized seed. Once I have more seed to play with, then I'll work on a feminized version. The question is how large/mature should I allow my plants to get before I go 12/12? I think I read on a seed site, and maybe somewhere...

Some members have asked about this method of growing. It is not described on the website. The technique was described to me over 40 years ago and predates the popularity of coco coir. It is mentioned briefly in Ed Rosenthal's "Marijuana Grower's Handbook." Fertigation, basically, is hydroponics...

Week 14, Week 6 of 12/12. The plant looks like it's not quitting yet. Buds added over 1" of pure, dense bud to the tips of all major colas. I went from being 18" under the Vipar Spectra 450 Dimmables, to close to 16". Buds are getting denser. I have transitioned from my Miracle Grow Veg & Herb...
