Boy, it helps to order when the special's actually on, lol! Picked up Mother's Milk and Space Monkey, along with Wolf Pack and Elphinstone for freebies. From what I've seen and read on here, I'm just as excited to run the freebies as I am about the money packs.

In the meantime, here's Lemon Wookie #9 at 43 days. Lemons, lavender, floral skunk, and eye burning pungency... it's mouthwatering weirdness, lol!

If you are using any microbes, an unbonded form of calcium will fix that. Coco has plenty of magnesium in it. Mo calcium mo better, free magnesium!
I guess from checking wikipedia that gypsum is bonded and not helping? I thought coco had a cationic affinity for Mg so you have to add it, I know if I don't add epsom salts they go yellow really fast.

Unbonded calcium will bond with the coco. Bacteria will eat it and release them both. I use nftg demeters destiny for this but there has to be other forms. If i remember correctly coco fiber is 25% magnesium to begin with.

Please don't hate me for this, but coco coir does not have Mg in it and you have to add it. I didn't have any luck dealing with coco coir and it caused more problems than it helped. I was having K toxicity issues and that is when I started getting my soil tested before and after I used it. The after test showed that my K and sodium were sky high. The only thing that I added was coco coir based EWC... Anyways, here is a little clip from Wiki.

Because coir pith is high in sodium and potassium, it is treated before use as a growth medium for plants or fungi by soaking in a calcium buffering solution; most coir sold for growing purposes is said to be pre-treated.[8] Once any remaining salts have been leached out of the coir pith, it and the cocochips become suitable substrates for cultivating fungi. Coir is naturally rich in potassium, which can lead to magnesium and calcium deficiencies in soilless horticultural media. Coir fiber is rarely used as a potting material, except for orchids, and does not need buffering, as it has a very low cation-exchange capacity (CEC) capacity, hence not retaining salts.

I think that it is more about the high content of K in coco that locks out the Mg... It took me about 3yrs to find that out, it's not a Mg def but a K tox... I am not saying that you are having the same problem, but Mg def can look the same as K toxicity... What type of method are you using, soiless hempy buckets?

Not going to hate you but when i say it has mag in it, its not available because its part of what the fiber is made of. Given the choice, the plant will take in k before cal or mag because its easier. Using the unbonded calcium im guessing would bring the 3 into more of a balance, helping calmag win by attrition

That more Cowbell looks amazing! What's the taste and smell on that. I would feel guilty buying more Bodhi gear, with all the unpopped beans I have. But?? :peace:

This description is pretty close. That cut id say no balsamic, more like new shoes then fresh tires. My other cut has a more lemony skunky pungency going on but still very sweet and earthy. The funk is more of a background flavor. Does that all make sense? Im just beginning to function, lil foggy still.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I compost all of my stuff. If you are using bottle fertilizer, then it is probably way different... We probably shouldn't clog the thread with this.

A little more of Bodhi Love. 2x Goji phenos, one stretchy, one not. Still trying to decide keeper(s)! 44 days.

A couple of More Cowbells at 8 days.

I popped a 12 pack of SSDD over a 3 week period. 1st 4x, all cracked, but only 1 kept on growing. She's a she!
SSDD 70 days.jpg

2nd 4x, all cracked, and only one grew. He's a boy. On the left, the other is a stretchy gal from the last set.

So out of the last 4x, they all cracked, and all grew up. 1x guy and 3x girls. The other 2x girls.

And, last but not least, a clone from a Sunshine Daydream x Wookie tester. It grows so strangely, but it's great smoke, and has grape nehi, lavender, skunkish nose... I love it.

Uhhh... this ssdd x wookie tester sounds nice! Im in love with my ssdd cuts, and read alot positiv lately about the terp profile of the wookie! Nice to know there will be some kind of release!
Unfortunately there won't be any released. B lost the mom after the testers went out. Mrs B did send a pack of SSDD butter cut x wookie #7 for doing the test. I need more room!
