    left over rhizomes make soil too dense

    If you are a member of the "Feed the Soil, Not the Plant" group using organic ferts and added mycorrhizae and RE-USING YOUR SOIL; NOTE the leftover rhizomes in the soil make it too fine and therefore too water retentive. At re-charge add more perlite, vermiculite, and pumice to about 40% (10%...

    seeds germ in paper then fizzle in soil

    I've had a "wipe out" this year with all but ONE seed of 12 still alive. I figured damping off right? OK, so I cooked in the microwave for three min. sealed in plastic wrap AND then baked it in the sun as I've read for several days and started over to have it all do the same thing over again...

    Dealing with soil troubles, too much to bake and it was just recharged!

    My seeds sprouted quickly on the heat mat then most died in their soil cups. Looks like damping off. Have to start over. I read about NOT using my propagator for seedlings as the damp environment is too liable to introduce disease. OK, the 2 remaining seedlings are out by themselves getting...

    Stay away from DDave mods

    Hey folks have any of you got the Arizer Extreme Q vaporizer? I love mine and recently bought some upgrade parts for it from DDave Mods. Their catalog is confusing at best making it hard to know what it contained in his “packages”. He doesn’t like selling individual parts so one has to buy stuff...

    TDS readings of feed water goes DOWN! after adding organic ferts

    How can it be that my TDS meter can give me a LOWER reading AFTER adding organic fertilizers? How can I keep track of the PPM of my feed water if the TDS method is not compatible with organic growing?

    To Toss Pre-flower'd Plants or Not, that is the question

    I had always read that one may as well toss any plants that pre-flower'd, as they were a waste of time/money. Well, I had three do it on me this year but I let them go. The story in pics below...47 shows how they are raised, outdoor "greenhouse" NO artificial light after 1st leaves; Even so...

    1st try dry ice hash, A BOON!

    You ABSOLUTELY MUST try dry ice hash!! I was blown away by the LOAD I GOT FILLED A SHORT BALL JAR! With golden pure hash. Orbital polisher made for a huge take I guess, BUT I'm afraid it broke too many trichomes into pieces dumping their oil on the screen. My ice water extractions didn't get...

    160 bag ruined on one run

    I did my first dry ice hash process recently. I am amazed at the volume I got VS plain ice water hash. HOWEVER, the 160 screen I used is now sticky/tacky to the touch from the plant oils. I washed with cold water just as directed and was left with a stained and tacky sieve. I checked further...

    PLANT moisture meter NOT SOIL

    I can't find PLANT moisture meters to measure DRIED FLOWERS. I know such things exist yet all searches for "plant moisture meter -soil" returns only SOIL meters! Google is not answering the phone (how convenient for them...just send your money and don't expect any service!) Can anybody...

    TDS vs EC

    I brew aerobic teas to fertilize my outdoor grow. When using rain water 50% mixed with aged tap water with a HIGH TDS of over 500 to get a water at about 250 ppm, I then add mycorrhizae powder, powdered bat guano, worm castings, kelp and fish extracts and black strap molasses in amounts about...

    "Feed the Soil" and feed your head!

    Just finishing this years harvest. Long cool spring here (SoCal) so very late ripening, not till late October. First year with the "Feed The Soil" (not the plant) school of thought and I am here to report that it is the BOMB! I left all the chemicals in the garage and just got a 35 gallon tub...

    The most powerful extraction

    I'm a home grower and medical user looking for ways to make my relatively "weak" material (+ - 12% THC) into powerful medicine for Ankylosing Spondylitis. I've settled on MCT (Medium Chain Triglicerides) oil (usully made from coconut oil ) as my carrier. I've asked this question before and...

    Where's spring in SoCal?

    I reaching out today to other Southern California growers to ask about what they are doing about this year's cold and gloomy spring. My first sprout (White Widow) from 3/21 is only about 18" tall. My second sprout (4/25 due to failures of the first sprout) are only 9" tall. Both started...

    TEA versus TDS

    I planned on using no artificial additives to this years grow. Adding Mycorrhizae, worm castings, and bat guano to the soil with mosquito bits at planting and then feeding with brewed "tea". Trouble is my tap water is over 400ppm solids content and after brewing my tea is coming out over...

    IS MCT THE BEST EXTRACTOR FOR HOMEMADE? BDO BLACK DRAGON OIL

    Look elsewhere here for my "Black Dragon" recipe for more on this subject: What's the best way to convert a voluminous, yet low THC/CBD outdoor grow (+- 10% THC & 1% CBD) into a concentrated form which can be ingested orally? I've been experimenting with "double or triple exposure" techniques...

    Black Dragon

    I'm trying to increase the THC/CBD content of my alcohol extractions by using the previous "green dragon" over a fresh batch of decarbed flower again and again only adding fresh alcohol (in my case 151 rum) to compensate for that lost to evaporation. I'm looking for someone else who has tried...
