Your plants are looking sooooo good!! Remember how I said I was going to roll smartpots next year? Well I am DEFINITELY going to get some smart pots next year! Are the bud worms really noticeable? I feel like I'm going to miss them and they're going to fuck shit up before I notice :sleep:. What flower and veg nutes are you using? Next year I think I'm gonna try out super soil! :blsmoke:

I kinda did that this year, and it's turning out pretty good so far. I tried to do a mix with all the veg nutes in it but it didn't really work out haha. Next year I want to try a recipe that has been tested and tried, and contains everything the plant needs to thrive! I only get one shot a year :mrgreen: . Not trying to say that peoples plants who don't use super soil won't thrive, but I wanna try it out :D

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread....hlight=tomhill however I altered it to about this. Ratio'd down to 100 gallons worth of soil of course XD

25 bags organic local nursery potting soil (1.5cf ea)

4 bags chicken manure fertilizer (1 cf ea)

1 bag perlite (4 cf ea)

1 bag (50 lbs) bonemeal (steamed, not precipitated)

1/2 bag gypsum (aprox 1/2 cf) - Edit -> 1/2 of a 40 lb bag (20lbs).

I also added some fresh horse manure when I let it bake, I let it bake for ~ 1 1/2 months

Thanks Brandon. I love the smartpots. I think I will save them for my tomatoes next year. I want to go in the ground.
As far as the worms, they are pretty hard to see without pulling the bud apart. All the ones I have found are like inside by the stem. Little fuckers. I am going to start using tweezers though like Wheezer suggested, because picking through the buds is ruining them.
My soil mix was just Miracle Gro potting mix, Scotts topsoil, perilite, and worm shit. I have no idea of ratios. hehehe. I was using the MG nutes too, but ran out and am using the GHP trio + molasses.
