After reading you hate on 5 gallon buckets it makes me want to transplant my two to bigger pots... they're getting pretty big for the pots they're in, and I have a 15 gal and a 20 gallon bucket I can transplant them into. The only down side is, both of these seeds are regular so I don't know if they're male or female. Do you think I should do it anyway? I have the day off tomorrow so I totally could.

Do you have an email or a online forum I could contact him at? I would like to try his seeds and if I like them have him vend in my dispensary. I think NorCal's air has more THC than Oxygen in it.

PM me right before you come up and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction. I know what's up around the bay and norcal pretty well.

Do it. If one turns male pick up a clone to replace it. You will get a significant yield increase if you do. If you transplant now they can still fill out a 20g pot reasonably well. It will be waaaaay worth it.
I bet ya got some WD-40 or rubbing alcohol. Both work good at removing resin from your hands.

cooking oil > rubbing alcohol for removing resin. Unfortunately the oil isn't fun to get off either.

Sup dan I probably already asked but going to ask again. What you running for flowering nutes? I might run general hydroponics new duo program. A long with the black strap mollasses and snow storm. Neighbor said what he does is water with a gallon of water first. Then he puts the flowering nutes in another gallon of water and then just feeds it with that. So 1 gallon of clean water first then another gallon witht he nutes in it.
Does this sound like the best way to go?

Outside, none. I'm pretty confident that my soil mix will hold up. Every once in a while I'll add compost tea, fish emulsions, kelp, and molasses.
Inside I'm using canna coco A&B, pk 13/14, molasses, and koolbloom in powder form. I make up the dosages as I go along based on strain and what the plants tell me they want.
On your first run with the very basics. Use a two part nutrient system, a pk booster, and molasses. Then if you feel like trying new products like snowstorm, do it on your next run. Many many many nutrient products are rip offs. I'm not convinced products like snowstorm do much at all. As far as I can tell snowstorm is just adds potash. A pk booster will do the same thing, likely cheaper while giving you phosphorus as well.
Once you're done a grow like that, your next run if you feel like trying a new product, add one more product you'd like to try. No more than one. If you do it any other way you'll end up buying a bunch of nutrients that you don't need.
The watering method you posted is sound. A gallon of clean water to wash away salts, then add fresh nutrients. I like it.

It comes from making a shit load of mistakes. I was spending a ridiculous amount of money on nutrients each cycle. Then I decided to try a run with just the basics and I noticed no difference in quality or yield. At that point I became highly skeptical of nutrient additives and even the idea of pushing basic nutrients to the highest PPMs you can get them without burning.
IMO, plants need enough of everything so they do not develop deficiency and not a lot more. Past that it's your environmental conditions and genetics that are really the key. Keep a consistent temperature, PH, CO2, humidity, good light, no light leaks, treat your plants right, prune off the popcorn, brace your branches, have proper air flow, and select quality genetics and you're going to grow some good bud. If I see some potential deficiency or problem, I buy a product to correct it, but that's about it. Other than that I'm all about the basics these days. There are a lot of snake oil salesmen out there.

It should also be said that just like everyone else, I can get bad information too. There are so many variables when it comes to growing that bad information naturally happens. So when anyone sees something I say that sounds good, the first question you should always ask yourself is "is this information true?", then look into more for yourself until you're confident that it is in fact correct.
Also, if I post something that anyone feels is incorrect, feel free to correct me. I will not get offended by this. I might argue with you, but that doesn't mean I'm pissed about it. Accurate information is the most important benefit of this forum. Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings if anyone thinks I'm posting something inaccurate. I do not know everything.
