Nope! Never heard of it! But that doesn’t mean anything! Do you amend and reuse your soil from year to year?
Nope! Never heard of it! But that doesn’t mean anything! Do you amend and reuse your soil from year to year?Do you guys grow Comfrey? I have been googling a bit to find the English word for it.
I am steering away from commercial nutrition more and more and now I only use it indoors. I have been tempted to use a pk+ outdoors last year but I didn't and just used Comfrey (in addition to the compost and bone meal breakdown).
Comfrey (Bocking 14 sterile variant) has long ass tap roots and sucks up nutrition from deeper levels and you cut them down and use it for your crops. Potent stuff too.
In the nineties I was all hydrophonics and tripart and chizz like that, heating up my entire house with HPS's in the basement up in Scandinavia. Those were the days. Electrical meter spinning so fast I could hear it when I tried to go to sleep.
Nostalgia. I hear the Enter Sandman riff in my head. What an awesome album that was.
Anyway.
Since then I have drifted more and more into a lifestyle where men wear sandals and drive electric vehicles. A world where both women and men reject razors. And we grow stuff effing organically.
Less yield, yes, compared to my old stack about 15% less. I can't tell any difference in potency. And I can just grow 15% more weed.
My soil seems to have a crazy amount of nitrogen already so I try to keep the nitrogen content of my compost down. I use the same soil indoors and it just puts out leaves for months without anything added.
Yeah, the soil I use was left on the property when I moved here 7 years ago. The old owners had used it for mainly tomatoes. I added rock dust last year and char the year before that, but other than that just compost. pH is a tad high but nothing dramatic. When I bring it indoors I bake it and add perlite and vermiculite. Next time I probably won't att add anything. The world is full of gravel, I don't need to pay for itNope! Never heard of it! But that doesn’t mean anything!

Back in my musician days in the late 90's in a technical death metal band, we played in Helsinki in front of 1800 people opening up for Cannibal Corpse. Amazing show, and the after party was legendary!I’ve heard Finland is the heavy metal capital of the world! Everybody listens to it! Must be being cooped up indoors for nine months out of the year!
I went with a post harvest soil test, so I know what shape it is in and what amendments to use! Things can get out of whack after a couple of years! I don’t have any use for vermiculite, but I use a ton of perlite.Yeah, the soil I use was left on the property when I moved here 7 years ago. The old owners had used it for mainly tomatoes.

There was a fin here last year that grew autos outdoors on what looked like the tundra! I think he was in pots! Did OK! Hope he comes back this year!Never spent much time in Finland. They don't love swedes there. I've driven through it.
We got this saying in Denmark.Never spent much time in Finland. They don't love swedes there. I've driven through it.
Just started growing comfrey a few weeks ago. Have 6 root cuttings growing now for transplant to the veggie garden and 8 more that i will plant directly in garden when it warms up. Great stuff, especially for making fpj. The small pots are pepper seeds, can't wait for spring!Do you guys grow Comfrey? I have been googling a bit to find the English word for it.

I wonder, as a companion crop... I'm about to get clover in my pots and I got worms on the job in the soil, so this est tres interesant.Do you guys grow Comfrey? I have been googling a bit to find the English word for it.

Yeah, it's awesome and pulls phosphorus and potassium out of the ground. If you use urine/water 1/10 and nettle water through the spring and summer and use comfrey as is grows and stop the high nitrogen and switch to only comfrey there's your tripart right there.I wonder, as a companion crop...

Welcome! I fear I’m quite a bit longer in the tooth than you. But we all have our white whales (widow) of youth to chase. Mine is the 70’s Humboldt skunk, been searching for 25 years and still haven’t found it. Sounds like you’ve got some primo soil! I was lucky enough to have great natural soil when I lived in Humboldt, most of the soil up there was pretty poor Pics when you can!!!This year I'm growing some white widows I got in Spain. Well, I have bought a lot of white widow seeds, and while they have been good I am chasing a dragon with those, I smoked it in the nineties and it was so amazing. I realize tolerance and age has happened and I am a completely different person today too, so I will probably never find the grail, but it's nice to have an obsession to lean on I suppose.
I tend to plant some autos too to get some early bud to smoke while I wait for the photos.
Waiting was never my strong side though, and I have a little tent

This of course depends on your standards, I'd say you get around fairly well on $3500 a month.What does it cost to live in Portugal using the same standard as your Swiss residence? Asking for myself AND a previous poster.
I wish those who squak about leaving their home country would just do so. Quit yacking and go. Please.
