    If you’ve been thinking about getting into mushroom cultivation

    C'mon...it's gotta be harder than that or everybody would be doing it. Over the past 6 mo. I've tried micro dosing by simply cutting the little piece of blotter into 8 little pieces. Doing it every other day, then waiting a week and doing another cycle. The results haven't been earth shattering...

    Soma seeds/strain experience?

    I grew out some of Soma's RockBud several years ago. Results were very good. There was a special at Attitude on packs of Soma Salad (now sold out), a mix of feminized seeds. I snapped it up and will try it out next year. Used to be Soma only did regular seeds and only did organic soil grows...

    Authentic Genetics

    Not sure what happened, but none of Mel's beans are on AG anymore. too bad. His GDP is doing fine outdoors, Durban is coming in a bit late for outdoor in my Montana grow. I wrote to Mel looking for some more, but got no reply. Just curious about what's up. Todd's Superglue x Haze also a bit late...

    Bacio gelato

    Good result, congratulations. Seeds were expensive from HSO, but I grew a couple with similar results. No more seed available, so unless you have a good cut, it's not around. I hasd three different phenos from the beans, only one keeper.

    Best organic way to increase terpenes.

    If you can find a beer brewing shop that has expired liquid malt extract for cheap it works great. Molasses added to it even better.

    WATER AT PH-8

    It seems like in today's market, just average results are no longer acceptable. Everyone here is a snob and only wants A+ product. Thus, I go the extra mile to get the best possible re3sult. All of my water goes into 55 gallon barrels and warms up for about 24-48 hours. Airstones in each to...

    Build a soil- Blue Gold

    Blue Gold. I've used it ias a foliar feed, very diluted, along with some kelp. It made a noticeable difference in my outdoor project. Used during veg and first couple weeks of flower. It is very gentle. No burn at all.

    Good breeder for Afgan/Hindu Kush seeds?

    I recommend you check out Authentic Genetics Seed Company. It has collections from guys who connected with the oldtimers and are the real deal. One of their missions is preservation of landrace genetics. Mel Frank (one of the authors of the seminal growers guide) has teamed up with Bill Drake...

    Durban poison by Mel Frank

    Wow, seems like lightyears ago since I posted, but I needed to throw my personal experience in this thread. I was lucky enough to meet Mel around 1980 and was gifted a pack marked "Durban South Africa." I grew them out for a few years but wasn't very careful and they got hit with some pollen...

    Props to AuroraWindsBotanical!

    I placed an order, for five strains. 50% germination. It's not the method, as I popped about 50 from multiple suppliers and had over 90% overall. All I can say at this point is the vigor is not quite what I'm seeing from others started at the same time. Slow to germinate and not as much vigor...

    Aurora winds botanicals, is the greatest!

    I'm giving them a try. I figured sooner or later the bottom would drop out of the overpriced, overseas seedbanks with the proliferation of high quality clones available from rec/med legal states. Even now, I've been trying to purchase seeds from US suppliers, but I still can't get everything I...

    Connoisseur Genetics

    Rainbow Jones was worthwhile, although it takes a bit longer than I prefer to reach full maturity.

    "Christmas Tree" flush?

    I'm an organic outdoor dirt farmer using 100 gallon fabric pots. No real buildup of salts or unused nutrients in the plants. Just wondered about opinions on the "christmas tree" finish as a help or hinderance.

    20 gallon pots

    My fence is 6' tall. With good tip training you can keep 2lb per pot under 6' tall.

    "Christmas Tree" flush?

    OK, maybe a stupid question but here goes. Could I simply cut down an entire plant and submerge the base of the stem in water and let it sit for a week to flush the plant? How about pulling up a plant grown in soil, rinsing the rootball and then giving the same treatment. Would it flush? Reason...

    20 gallon pots

    In many cases, the bigger the pot, the bigger the plant. Rule of thumb, grow in a twenty gallon pot and you'll get significantly less yield than the exact same seedling grown in a fifty gallon. Sure a twenty gallon will work fine, just realize that some plants won't reach their full potential. I...

    BigWormGenetics

    Just wanted to say that Oregon Elite Seeds is absolutely legit. Just got an order of my BigWormGenetics. I will be doing organic outdoor grow in 30 gallon fabric pots. Going with Blackcherry Dojo Ff3 and 97bluemoonshine X Purple Northern Lights #5 f3. Started the germination today, and will grow...

    advanced nutrients vs super soil?

    Sorry Bro, but your in the wrong forum. This is "Organics." You trust AN to be a natural product? The audience here are organic growers who enjoy comparing methods. AN is the other end of the spectrum. Are you here to simply flame up controversy?

    HEY,Anybody out there growing SILVER L.A.

    I grew a single Silver LA outdoors about 3-4 years ago. I'm sorry I didn't save a clone. Since the Attitude Promo came up, I'm not only looking forward to Freebie, but have also ordered a pack so I can do a pheno search. From past experience I know I'll find one to keep. I'm a medical grower...
