I did pot my babies the same way that you are describing. I used the SS on the bottom and a little up on sides, threw some reg soil top of that and mixed just a little and then put reg soil in the rest of the space....

Most of the new growth and tops of the plants look healthy, however a couple of the plants are starting to look crispy and burned on all the top leaves too. And yes, the leaves are dying from the bottom up..... Also the turtle powers are a slower growing more pure sativa strain, and they too...

Hey y'all, just had a quick question that I was hoping someone could give me some guidance on...... I am midway through week 5 of flower on my first supersoil run and some of my plants are showing some pretty serious nute burn on the fan leaves. I am running 3 strains(sputnik, SSH, turtle...

Oh yeah, as far as some good materials to bring back from the forest...... Leaves are awesome, dead and live grasses, mosses. I would stay away from anything wood as they require fungus to break down, not bacteria like what is doing all the action in your compost pile. The wood will eventually...

lozak is right on with saying that making layers to build up your pile is the ideal and quickest way to make good compost. I start with a 3" layer of sticks on the bottom(not broken up) to create a nice base that allows air to flow into the pile. Then I layer with 2" of carbon material(i.e...

yeah i think the movie you speak of is "what the bleep do we know" and it featured some of the work of masaru emoto(i think thats it). he is the japanese scientist who did all the water experiments....

I have effectively used a combination of neem oil and dr. bronners soap sprayed on powdery mildew, works really well. Garlic, onion, chillis can all be blended up with water, or steeped and strained and sprayed as all purpose deterrent. Neem oil actually disrupts the life cycles of the bugs...

yeah dolomite lime is sold at garden centers/nurseries and much cheaper at home depots and the like. i think i paid $4 for about 40 lbs and you only need little bits of it........ as for the compost, it is very much possible to turn raw materials into finished compost in 2-3 months, i have...

just ran into these little buggers, took care of em with a hydrogen peroxide flush(tsp/gallon water) and then covered the dirt in a thick layer of sand for a weeek or so. haven't seen em since...

I have actually come across tons of sources of research confirming the opposite of this, that plant and animal biology are strikingly similar. A good place to look into this subject is the book "the secret life of plants", kind of a dry read but super informative about all sorts of research on...

I can't say that I have any personal experience with this situation, however I have found that plants that exhibit uncommon and freakish growth habits tend to be stronger and more resilient. Keep an eye on her and consider that it might be a good thing!

I came across the Sonic Bloom in a book called "secrets of soil", by the same authors as the secret life of plants(both great books to gain a deeper insight into the world of plants). Apparently tapes of large flocks of bird sounds were being sold to increase growth rates and yields...

Hey there Hobbes! Gotta say thanks first off for your amazing attention to detail and open sharing of information. I come from a permaculture/organic farming background and am new to the ganja farming world, and have been somewhat surprised at how little most growers understand plants. So...

yeah the blowing smoke through a paper towel tube with dryer sheet insert works amazingly well, brings me back to my more intense guerilla smoking days. I could see how using a few of em on the exhaust of your grow room would be relatively effective also. they sure do stink of toxicity though...

Although I don't have any experience with ganja and companion planting, I have used it extensively in my organic gardens quite successfully. For example, I have a raised bed of a variety of salad greens that tend to make nice targets for the bugs. However, I planted the entire perimeter of the...

It would be wise to do a little test on your rainwater. Even if you live far away from any urban areas acid rain and other contanimants can still make their way to rural areas. I feel like acid rain can travel for thousands of miles(high school flashback here) and i just read an article about...

Too bad one has to wade through all the chest thumpin and egos to get to the info.......

Be wary with what mushroom compost you end up choosing. Most of it will be filled with chemicals left over from the shroom grow and i have heard of heavy metal accumulation in mushroom compost too. My point is just to make sure that you find a source from a good organic grower of mushrooms, if...

I am curious if anyone on this site has used Happy Frog Potting Soil for the base in the SS mix? Any comments or observations? Thanks!
