Time to stop lurking and get one going!

Hey Farmers! Thanks for this awesome sight, and all the knowledge y’all are dropping. I am relatively new to indoor growing, and actually only have three outdoor seasons as well. For me growing started out as a joke, and became a passion so fast my heads still spinning! I have taken two cannabis agriculture and horticulture classes online. One from Saint Josephs University in Philadelphia, and the other was called CTI. Cannabis training institute. Cti was very basic, but both courses taught me a lot! I am always trying to learn and improve my methods. Being on here has helped me with that tremendously. I prefer to stay on the organic side, and really dig the whole circle of life type stuff. Recently I had a run in with the law, and all of my plants were cut down So now i am starting over, with only my legal limit of five plants. Ive decided to try and run them in 40 gal. Pots and hopefully can make this work. So far everything is ok, watering is going to be a challenge at first for me. Ive never worked with pots this big. Took this this morning and these are a month old today.

What is Veganics - Kyle Kushman | Expert Medical Marijuana Grower & Medical Marijuana Nutrients

I do believe Veganics is the next logical step beyond organics. Actually, what we are doing here is Vegan organics. Because everything I use must first be certified organic and second be veganic. Meaning nothing derived from animals. Kushman Veganics …

Thanks. Right now, ive got one of each, epoxy og, peanut butter skunk mints, goblin god, and purple sour d. The purp was from a bagseed, the others are testers i was given. I am anxious to get them sexed and see what I will clone out for number five! I am in home cooked living soil, and am only feeding with compost teas. ( terp tea by roots organics). Also since I am limited on how many plants i can have, ive decided to start some rose bushes.

Let's goooooo! Best of luck on your grow :) Beautiful roses as well

Ive got a few questions about compost tea. Whats the longest you should brew, and how long can it stay in the res? Bubbling or not?

From my understanding, only a day or so. The idea is to multiply the microlife. Too long and they run out of food and start dying.

Thanks. I was considering later on, when ive got to water more often, on trying to hit them twice a week with tea. Right now with these small of plants and these big pots, its not an issue yet. Once a week is all i can do right now.

The Rev has a bang'n tea process. The site seems to be offline right at the moment, but when it's back up it's worth the read

I believe that you got the right idea using bigger pots for organics
If you have a Y-Tube account, Jeremy is big on dropping organics knowledge: Link
And just because I dig the simplicity of this method, check out Farmer Mudballs simple mix:

Post your Organic Soil Mix

i use 22tbs of Veg and 13tbs of All purpose to 20g of mixed soil. Other times i use a 2:1 ratio of All purpose/Veg. that's the beauty of using the 5-3-3 & the 4-6-3 ferts, you can make any NPK soil you want quickly

Appreciate it! It is a very simple method, the worst part is cleaning up after brewing the teas. Other then the living soil, I am only using like 4-5 dry amendments. Roots organic terp tea( grow, bloom, and bloom boost.) and some epsom salts when in flower.

JerzeyMike · Sep 30, 2022

LST or Domestic abuse??? I cant call it.

JerzeyMike · Oct 1, 2022

Week six (give or take a day) from sprout. In amended living soil. (Second run). So dar so good, waiting on my cover crop to arrive Monday. Just had a tea party with them yesterday. These big pots stay wet forever!

Looking great. What's that Skunk you got going there?

JerzeyMike · Oct 1, 2022

Its called peanut butter skunk mints. It was a tester given to another guy, and passed onto me. Breeder is old school chronic, but I don't know him. From what i can find online, it sounds good. Worth giving a shot for sure. All four of these are different strains. The other are epoxy og ( same breeder) goblin god (unknown) and purple sour d. Bagseed.
