Hi all, this is my first go at a grow forum but I have been a cultivator for awhile. I hope to learn much and maybe even share some knowledge from my experiences. I have become farily profecient at grow room design, construction and trouble shooting over the years.
Lately I have been tuning in proper adjustment of soil ecology for each period of plant growth. I see the plant having two distinct phases of veg and three phases of flower. As I am sure many of you already know each part of the life cycle is best supported by different ratios of microorganisms as well as varying PH and N-P-K. I am fortunate to live in a place with many local options for most my needs (Including legal Medical Cannabis.)
Along with being better for the environment using locally aquired compost, fertilizer and growing medium (when available) gives the finished flowers a distinct regional flavor and cannabinoid profile, much like the way regional climate and soil affect grapes.
I am also interested in discussing how fertilizers; synthetic and organic, affect not just THC production, but the affect on production and possible inhibition of production of CBD, CBN and other psychoactive compounds. I feel different symptoms and personality types require different ratios of medical properties. If cannabaniod ratios could be adjusted or accentuated by more than just genetics :) ... Like some of the crazy Harlequin numbers! Or the THCV #s of some of the African strains!
