Salutations RIU, As an organic farmer, and a stoned thinker, I am constantly considering new ideas to try both in veggie garden, and for MJ plants. I get all my nutes from compost teas I formulate and create myself, and the inclusion of epsom salts, elemental sulphur, and bone meal ( soil and...

Yep it's a sad fact of the outdoor grow that scum bags will steal from you if they can. I have a garden, behind a 6' privacy fence, but still, once ladies start to flower ( anytime now ) me, my dogs and my 70lbs. compound bow will be spending nights in the garden. Though I might hesitate to...

Thanks much for the clarification. As I intend to pollinate a few buds on biggest lady, I may be able to do the comparison of which you spoke. I understand now what you meant about genetics, as all my plants were grown from same seed stock, but my biggest lady is easily twice the size of all the...

I have to admit that my botanical knowledge is extremely limited ( at least as far as book learning ), and my only claim to wisdom comes from having been raised on organically grown since before there was such a term, and the passed down knowledge from multiple generations of gardeners. So I...

As long as you leave the cannabis alone, your welcome to weed my garden. My own certifiable medical condition is that my right knee is completely blown. As such I just can't handle being on my knees for more than a few minutes. Therefore I have an unspoken agreement with the weeds. If they grow...

No, not yet, not in America. However, this urine as fertilizer has gained so much momentum that the Finns and Swedes have begun production on a new toilet design that will have separate compartments for solid and liquid waste. This is due to the fact that these Nordic countries have had...

Plants are amazingly resilient. I have revegged plants, and produced a second harvest by cutting off the plant and leaving only the very lowest flowering branches, and returning plant to 18/6 light cycle. The flowers seem to come apart and become new top branches as plant vegs for a second time...

I live in Canon City and we have a nice mom & pop operation ( for now ) called Earth Medicines. The folks there are friendly, knowledgeable, and their products are pretty good as well. I hope law suits will cause HB-1284 to be revised so these good people can stay in business.

I would say sit the fan just inside the window. This should give you plenty of draw, and from outside it will only appear that you are too cheap to use air conditioning LOL.

Yeah, if soil already has nutes, I would wait and see how they respond before adding anymore.

I'd like to point out that though your absolutely right regarding ammonia, human urine does not become ammonia when it has been composted. The proof is that there is no ammonia smell coming from my compost pile. I assume that the abundant proliferation of earthworms under my pile is also a...

Ok so I missed posts agreeing with composting... My bad. Of course I am all about compost and only wish to champion the inclusion of urine in the composting process as it is presently an enormously wasted resource.

Sorry, but some of the science has been missed. Though I have used straight urine diluted with water and seen huge results, most of the urine in my process is applied to my compost pile and the valuable nutrients have been released for better plant absorption. The nitrogen, in particular...

Ok here you go. This is a simple recipe for compost tea. I also live in Colorado and have had amazing results with this stuff. Good Luck. Simple compost tea recipe and pic results in and outdoor.

Be right back

Oh I'm sure there are bigger plants outdoors than mine, I have Colorado growing conditions to deal with and I should have mentioned that these are carmelicious plants ( mostly indica strain ) so for a plant that seed bank said would reach maximum growth of 26 inches, I think it is pretty...

Ok all you freaks who dis on anyone who uses urine as part of fertilization strategy, I say put up or shut up. If you can't compete then stay in your seat. For your consideration I present to you what can be accomplished using pure organic techniques ( which include peeing on my compost ). Look...

Very good post. I am a fan of urine for good nitrogen fert, but still a very comprehensive post.

No pathogens in urine, Urea is just another word for urine, and I'll bet I grow bigger plants with urine/compost tea than you can with any mass produced crap.

I'd say your going to have to keep it up until natural light has reduced to your set schedule, or you are ready to harvest.
