bodhi seeds

should we use extra calcium in the mix under leds ? or you think it would be a calcium excess & cause a lockout ? i havent had a bodhi strain thats been a calcium hog, if you know of one please share the info.

I'm using a tweaked version of coots mix with less ingredients,with zero crab meal.The recipe calls for either bu's compost or another one,i think the one diesel uses,but i used the COM lobster compost.I cant really say anything as to cal lock out/deficiency under leds(which i use) but my ssdd's are doing great for water only with this recipe.I went from 2 gal to 6 gal at transplant going into 12/12,so i had a lot of new soil to make it the run.Green going into 8 weeks and nice chunky buds.
That being said,after thinking on it a bit ,I DO NOT recommend using the lobster compost.It does seem a bit heavy and on the bag it says garden mix,not really intended for pots (especially not for indoor) @Diesel0889
It worked for me this run,and i do have a bag I'm going to use up with other compost on my next mix.Gl

At least doubled in size.

Maybe I should stick with what I know then, the malibu compost has worked great every time. Oly mountain fish compost has served me very good as well but I slightly lean toward malibu compost.... shit I think I have to order it I to my local shop and that will set me back another week... I will put babies in 1 gallon smart pots to get veg going. I have a bag of bu's malibu putting soil. It contains 25% of malibu compost. And I dont like they use perlite instead of pumice or lava rock but... gotta do what ya gotta do to get by. I will mix and transfer 1 gal to the bed after it has sat for 2 weeks and should be ok. Also coir based soil not peat but I think it will jive ok once the roots spread out. Dont ya hate it when you dont have your ducks In a row lol... bodhi seeds seem to love me so I think it will all iron out...

Happy growing!!!

This is my first experience w bodhi but ive done a few grows under led. I lab test my soil and shoot for about 75% Ca saturation. A pair of Sunshine Queens in this somewhat balanced mix are thriving.

From my experience available, abundant calcium is essential for healthy, strong, pest resistant plants. Ca is especially crucial leading up to flowering and through stretch.

I think its more likely that a coots style mix is gonna be K heavy. My understanding is that a plant using K to build cells is not going to be as high quality as one that uses calcium. It also wont be as robust or as fully expressed.

Have you ever lab tested your mix?

nope, currently i am trying out a greatlakes water only soil, although i am cheating with a sample of the new version of megacrop. ive done alot of the normal bag soils, & coco in the past. i have a couple recipes for coots mix that i have yet to do. in the past i've used nftg demeters destiny for calcium issues under cobs during a monocrop run of black triangle. no complaints here. i will sex these upcoming bodhi "chem" crosses in the greatlakes water only soil though.

i will be borrowing your word for a t-shirt... sue me.

By the time you observe and respond to calcium issues you already gave up some yield and quality.



I feel like my grasp of gardening grew exponentially when i started testing

Anyone get the limited edition hoodies from Tao’s surgery yet? Just wondering

You're just f2'ing the word. What kind of karma would that be to sue you? lol

We have 4 Wookie Hashplant in veg that are topped and up potted waiting to go to flower tent when room is available and are healthy wealthy and wise!

I got mine yesterday. I’m trying really really hard to not go to glg...even to peek. I want way more than I need.

Stoner mind games: So, I have this big (for my garden) Mountain Temple that is showing male big-time after months in veg. VCA seeds should be done by May 10th, or so. Sooo... I'm thinking that Mr. Mountain Temple can go outside around May 1, trying to time pollen release as close to May 17 as possible. If any MT pollen hits the VCA's, which it won't, the seeds will be so immature by harvest that they'll be tossed out. Plus, if there's any chance of the VCA's getting ruined, I'll pull the MT boy.

I was thinking about what to cross the MT with, and then it hit me, with all this Space Monkey talk: I'll cross the Mountain Temple with GG4! That might be amazing. I can trash the boy and flower the GG4 seed plant indoors, all in time for June 1 summer planting.

Pollen chucking is addictive and fun!

Anyone else starting to feel like it's a blessing in disguise to get Amrita? I wanted that Kashmir Azad, but I'm thinking the Amrita is going to be something real nice! I've never tried the Strawberry Milk, but Nepali OG x Instant Karma?! And Jalalabad Star? Sounds Indicalicious...

I think she might move to the front of the line.

I heard a few people saying Space Monkey was one of their favorites , so glad I got a pack

I wish other seed banks would put their promos up early like GLG & offer deals like GLG , they must be crushing everyone else in April sales just from Bodhi alone

I have been using the COM lobster compost indoors and out for a few years now, Its some good stuff. Its heavy right out of the bag, but once mixed up with everything else I have had no issues with it.

which bodhi beans have done well for you in the com lobster compost ? i see it in the store all the time, they have a couple different versions, i cant really tell the differences between them though.

Diesel0889 said:

Not to interrupt but I trust the advice of some here and would like to ask all you bodhi/organic fans if I'd be ok to use coast of maine lobster compost in place of malibu compost for my coots mix I will be mixing up shortly here for my next round of bodhi that are above soil. Will be useing a 4x4 flood and drain tray with a 100 gallon smart pot bed in it under my fluence spyder x plus. Will be a fresh mix and I will post at least a pic or 2 when I get moving again.( dont post many pics these days) still owe a shot of my last harvest lol. Will try and get some bud shots tomorrow.


P.s. to make this post bodhi related let's just say i broke 2 of my black triangle seed starts and I'm not happy bout it!

Happy growing!!!

Have you checked out the Stoneington Blend? Works great as water only in big pots. COM stuff rocks!

Good to hear,glad you chimed in.I really havent had any problems,just didnt want to steer anyone in the wrong direction if they were already using a product that worked.You're definitely right about it drying out once its mixed,its actually really light.Im doing a mix of the blue bag COM compost w/their lobster this next run.I use a bale of happy frog soil conditioner which is a killer product as well.Digging the rice hulls in place of perlite I've switched to.Man,I have access to a shitload of cooked lobster shells all summer/fall.If i could find a way to keep the animals out,I'd consider composting it.I built a big 3bin compost bin last summer and did compost a few,but it was an assache.I've got to research what exactly is used(innards and all?)

If I didnt have space to mix up my own soil, I'd probably use that stuff.It is basically a super soil(reflects on the price tag around here,almost $40 a bag)but all the ingredients are niiice.
SSDD water only(COM Lobster compost)getting close
