Well guys, it seems like I have the opportunity to take Bruce’s class, what do y’all think? I don’t even have a diploma but I think I can handle the course. It’s a good bit of money to sink in, just having minor doubts about myself

I think you should go for it. I would if I could. I feel like just watching is videos just isn't enough and I'm really interested in what else he has to teach.

Hey guys, give me some more tidbits of learning from the class? I know the new media formula, but what other highlights have you learned? Please convince me to take the class!

It covers a lot, from root to shoot. Has some basic general knowledge but also teaches some results from newer research that they are doing. You may be able to find some of their published work online to get an idea of what they are teaching.

That is exactly what I did. I may have gone a bit too high with my EC towards the end giving my plants an EC of 1.4 which made the EC go up past 1.5 every time I watered but with a little overwatering it would drop back down. This time I am going to stick with and EC of 1.1 and see how that goes. I got a decent yield off of my grow, 13oz's but the overall smell isn't all that great to me. Maybe cause I spent too much time around my plants, I don't know. I guess I was hoping to grow some dank smelling weed like from a dispensary. It get's me high that's for sure. Does properly drying and curing make that big of a difference in smell and taste?

Yes, a proper dry and cure makes a huge different in smell and taste.
 
Ive watched all his you tube videos, very informative, some 5x6 times or more. Definately would be an excellent course and well worth whateved it costs, knowledge is powerful.

I used my tap water which is a bit hard at an EC of 0.5. But my plants do fine.

Awesome. Your plants looked very healthy dude

I’ve watched Bruce bugbees videos probably over a year ago and always wanted to give it a shot but just never got to it. Just stuck with my hydroponic rock wool set up but I just ordered all the ingredients to give this a shot.

I think the dolomite lime I got is going to be very small pellets and not the powder form like he had. Did you use powder / pellets or notice any difference between the two? I may just crush them up

You can grind up the lime into a powder, brings up the ph of peatmoss. Perlite and vermiculite mix was the olden day hydro mix. Vermiculite provides silica too. Promix is pretty much same medium he makes.

Pallet Dolomite Lime, to be honest I didn't know it came in pallets. I got the wrong dolomite lime as it was more like large salt or tiny pebbles I crushed my dolomite lime with a Stone Mortar Bowl, it did a good job at making it more like a powder. I now use hydrated lime since it's part of Dr. Bugbee's updated media that being said I've had no problems when I crushed my lime into a Powder and I never needed to add anymore lime either.
 
No class has ever taught me half as well as a person I know who has experience in the relevant field.

I think a lot of the course is designed for a career in a commercial facility, many cost, space and IPM issues that wont be relevant or of interest at home.

It certainly would be good to take the class but I think you are probably getting everything he could help you with on youtube. 2c
