all sorts of different veg times depending on local (in, out, greenie etc) and season, bonzai, main-lining with different numbers of heads etc....but if you are talking indo....55-65 days.....im loving this grow and the style of the of the plants one ? and i dont want to be the dumb ass but how long are you vegging for ??
i use two different locally made mixes now, but i soon will be venturing into the completely made from scatch vortex.......i don't trust roots, and i don't like bugs, but if you get a good batch, the shit is golden!.....thats the problem.....sometimes great/sometimes really bad..........your right on though with your list ( exc. i wouldn't do sand)....i definately want to go "no peat"......and right now, my local mixes are peat based...so that is the direction i am headed..Nugs, I believe I read you don't use Roots Organic for your base soil. What do you use? I was looking into a mix of Cow compost, Worm Castings and Plant Compost as a base. Then adding the coco fiber, vermiculite and sand to achieve the desired consistency. Finally adding the blood meal, bone meal, vermiculite and such things. Any thoughts would be great from anyone.
light dep all the way...daaaang nugs. Is she light dep? or one of your indoor/outdoor grow cabinet girls?
mixing it in works great. along with neem and crab for the trifectaCould you mix diatomaceous earth with roots to kill bugs? I dunno just a thought I know ppl layer it on top..
WOW, I thought 100% that it was gonna be indoor, That's amazing. I need to get some light dep. set up!light dep all the way...
I feel the same way hahaha, you and kushking have helped me out so much this year. Without you guys my plants would like compeltely different, in a bad way.the best part is she is only 23 inches tall, and 38 in. dia.....and easily lifted, and carried.....although my back has been pretty sore....she has kicked my ass a bit i have to admit....but its the fucking stairs....if we were on a single story, i would do a bunch of them simotaniously...yo, just want you two to know that your threads are the main reason i am on here so much.....i am learning a lot from you guys, and really enjoy the commraderie....lets kick some fucking ass these last 7-8 weeks!......much love, nugs
p.s.....i wish i could fly out at week 7 for a photo shoot at both your cribs.....fucking dream......
sweet bro, thanks.....i am in the beginning phases of building ,my own soil, and it will be compost/coco based, i will def. check this out....thanks againCheck out this Michigan business. They make Dairy Doo, a cow compost, and are 100% organic. They also make poultry compost and worm castings, plus they deliver. Although I believe they have retailers all over the state. I think I might try them for my next batch. I have a plant based compost up the street from me at a local woodchip place, but I would rather find something else. I don't know how the quality is. If you find one post it up.
