Total Noob using teas and I am a believer

The L.A Confidential tasted a LOT like White Widow, but concentrated into the most dank, smooth coating of caramelly, thick smoke.

Guys, I am taking a teeny little break from RIU. See you on the other (more civil) forums, you know the ones. I am kinda finally being pushed to my limits a little here, Corey's bullshit in PM's after his buddy VTM's bullshit in public AND PM's has me now attacking them right wherever I find them. I just got more BS from Corey in a PM, his inbox was full so I just found his little ass in another thread and took him on right in front of everybody.

Seeing as I have insane capacity for aggression I am choosing to avoid RIU for a while. People want to puch my buttons it really gets UGLY, and I choose to not hang about in atmospheres that can possibly trigger such crap. Not deleting my account or any such BS. Just taking a step towards somewhere more conducive to my personal growth. I got tired of being angry very long ago.

I am just staying on my side of the fence. You are right Hamish. There is no reason to come here if it is a bad vibe. Take a step back and chill for a bit. Nothing is worth the stress.

I was just talking to a friend last night about RKS. I love that strain. I hope to add a ton of Gage and Cabin Fever to the list someday.

1. Kali Mist
2. NL5 x Haze
3. Super Skunk
4. Super Silver Haze
5. Chemdog phenos
RP has some nice musky butthole RKS. Unfortunately it yields like an auto.

^^^^ hahaha dork
Actually, I suffer from Aspergers which tends to make me hate everybody every now and then. Part of bringing this condition under control involves me realizing when I go over the top, and then simply removing myself from a social setting in order to not cause any harm. I am very much aware of how I can affect the world around me, and am currently completely un-medicated, this includes reefer, of which I have had a total of one and a half grams over the last few weeks.
I owe Corey an apology, but this will wait till I have brought my mind back in line and can make more sense and be less volatile. You have a lovely day.

And the rest of you fellas, see you in the chilled out forums :)

Welcome! Just a thought but top irrigation allows you to drip the amendments in. I love fabric pots.

You definatley came to the right place, Rad. Some real organic gurus here that really know their stuff. Some of the dankest buds I've seen on this site were produced by these guys. Stick around and your guaranteed to learn something.

I was thinking of doing drip irrigation (top) with a gravity feed system. I use fabric pots with pro-mix for a medium. Im not sure what sub-irrigation is.

I have 10 total, they are all near the same size , some are heavy feeders and some are turning purpke, they are under 4 40 watt t12 lights w 5000k cokor, I plan on getting t5s soon but im unsure on what I want to do as another veg room/clone/mother room, I was thinking a nice sized grow tent actually , I see some nice tents on here and id like to play with it alittle. Im just now lining my room with mylar and I love hydro farms mylar, it cost me $30 for 50 ft, not bad imo. Im rambling but im very high and I had a great stress free weekend.

Great thanks for the welcome guys! looking forwards to skimming through and catching up, I think i'm gearing towards organics for sure- i'm still in soil. I'm wondering, if I didn't amend my soil with the guanos and meals and etc.. (soil right now is 50/50 FFOF/FFHF with perlite and dolomite) can I still brew tea's for this soil when its time to feed and opt out on the FF line up... or is amending the soil first whats recommended. as in will adding tea to feed now not benefit me? lol thanks again guys, also I would probably top feed nute solutions but my understanding with important element of sub irrigation, by way of wicking water or fabric pots wicking it, is the plant takes what it needs, so no over or underwatering.. on its own schedule so to speak? still researching it lol, testing one now

I am looking to use BluMats in the future. I hear it is a great way to do things. Keeping you mix in a certain zone of moisture is what really allows your benes to work for you. It's always good to see you here NoSwagBag.

A big welcome to you RadMichelle. Try and move away from any drama you encounter. There is some great stuff going on here. I have to tell you that there are many ways to get where you want to be. Ours are a few ways. Many others work too. I try to stay away from anything other than learning, exchange of great info, and friendship. I am glad you are here. I checked out your site earlier. Looks great. Do you run any Gage?

Of course you can use teas. The next time you mix that up let it cook a month. I know a friend here on RIU, Prosperian, who cooks his bagged soil before using. he gets insane results. Are you familiar with cooking your soil? I know you know that the FF line up is not organic. Only the Big Bloom.

Hey there Gandalf! yep I well aware of it not being organic lol, mid way through my last grow I was gifted a small shake tube of great white... which lead me on the path to pondering organics lol because the synthetic ff stuff cross canceled any benefit the myco had to my soil... right? lol i'm only getting into it- so i'm pretty stoked to have run into you twice lol. Im working of getting ggg's beans, just got a new house and now grow is set up, here, ph is way different here than the last house lol, so now that things are straightening out I've had time to start researching some genetics I wana get into- it was fun hybridizing waterlillies, so you can imagine my excitedness in getting some decent strains with known crosses, but I haven't gotten any yet, sent a pm about testing as well but im in the market either way for their stuff... and ooo I wana find one that has the pink hair phenol lol. so... any suddestions on reading where I can brew some teas to add to my soil mix... its been water only, with some sea weed and great white, so my soil shouldn't be too bad off as far as synthetic salts. my enter button wont work for me right now and i'm tired of mashing on it sooo .. sorry its one huge block of text lol

Hey gang I looked into some of the strains you listed in your top 5 and am wondering if it matters much which breeder I go with. Ex. Highlife seed bank lists a couple breeders of the nl5x. Mr. Nice vs greenhouse. I'm most likely going to get some gage anyway, but this has been on my mind.

Hey Gandalf...

Any opinion on the Progress Earth products yet? I've used most of them, but I think I'm about to cut them all out other than the Earth Compound. I intend to use it to inoculate my soil while it cooks, and hit my garden with a foliar with it every now and then.

If you're cooking up some good recycled soil, the rest of the Progress Earth products seem kind of pointless.
