If I remember correctly, Black Gold is somewhat loamy. The perlite helps with drainage, the vermiculite retains moisture. Perlite also provides a lot of surface area for bacteria. If possible, get a small fish air pump and aerate your gro and bloom formulas to enhance bacterial growth. And...

Dammit ! !

I grew in this when I was a noob. As soon as I could afford better I switched to other various things. Black Gold is ok, but there better blends out there.

Hmmm... I thought about totaling the amount of each grow (electric, nutes, etc) and the cost of the seeds and soils. And at least recovering my costs. Wouldn't want to give away free 'Z's' since the caregiver card costs more than the patient card. And soil is so damn time-consuming. Now I'm...

I read the ASR and AAC on the State website, and ADHS rules. I get the 2.5 oz, and or 12 plants. What I dont understand is the price structure. What would I ask for in reimbursment fees for medicine? The dispenseries only deliver here, and their prices are too stupid! Any southern AZ caregivers...

I made butter from all my trim last year. Stored in freezer. One time I ate too much (like 1 teaspoon on a croissant), and POWIE ! ! ! Even when I do a 1/2 teaspoon.....

Like you said - there's a lot of turkeys out there! I keep an eye on you, man, for sure. aisa

I use Aurora Roots Organic, and Earth Juice. Veg and bloom with the Buddha and use Oregonism, and use EJ for additives. Everything gets brewed into aerated activated tea. I'm happy with it. Of course I use things from other manufacter's for silicon, humic, seaweed, etc Never tried the other...

Nodgman, Here is the info I found from Gen Hydrpncs. A little late, I know, but I hope it helps. I didn't see your post until this morning. TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids. TDS, EC, PPM, Millisiemens - Nutrient Strength And Measurement What is the best way to calibrate a TDS or EC...

That's awesome Jon.

Everywhere. LOL Anywhere there is a closet, at my place.

Good grief...don't smoke it that way! Store bought iso-alcohol has poison added to it to keep people from ingesting it. Rinse three times with RO or DI water. Let it sit till it evaporates.

I detect some 'red-eye' in kitty!!

Upon receiving a new pH meter or probe, it must be cared for ahead of use. Most new equipment needs to be acclimated and maintenanced right out of the box. If you experienced problems with a pH meter that is new, this may be the reason. Visually inspect the probe for damage, both internal and...

I have a detailed 4 part journal for temperature measurement. For those that wish to know about equipment, calibration, etc, covering more than these posts. With pictures.

In another thread I answered someone that was trying to test the pH of 'colored' water using a color comparator system. I decided to rewrite my advice here for those that wish to understand. And I'll try to keep it simple. Use a small, very clean jar with a cap. Preferably a tall, rather...

Oh the joys of the weekly farm box. I couldn't resist sharing, but, now I feel a little dirty.

It is important to have a system that you are confident in. So, I'm real happy you found one. I had the feeling that BL may not yield the best precision, but great as a back up if you factor in the correction (error). Sometimes, meters need to go through the calibration process a few times to...

Use a small, very clean jar with a cap. Preferably a tall, rather than wide jar. Soil: Add a tablespoon or two of the soil, add water to above soil. How much do you need for the test? That is how much you should have above the soil line. Shake vigorously. Place sample on table (wherever), and...

Store the buffer solutions in a cool area. Away from outside walls, hot lights, and any other source of heat, or heat fluctuations. Most buffers are recommended to store at 20-25 dgC, which is a cool 70-75 dgF room temp. The cooler you keep the buffer, consistently, will make it less likely to...
