Sorry. FF OF : FoxFarms Ocean Forrest, an excellent dirt for growing weed (organic, and reported to have enough plant food for 3 weeks (wks) to 1 month (abbreviated as mo. or mos.). Don't know if ganga (herb) eats more food than tomatos, do tomatos sit on the vine for 8 weeks or more? I...

Not an expert, but have done a fair amount of reading on it. Garden Lime is around 34% Cal, and 3.8 Mag (it may vary a bit between brands). 40 lb. bag is less than $4. Dolomite Lime is the stuff most MJ growers use when making soil/less mixes and is around 20% Cal, and 10 Mag. I saw one...

Yeah, there's a recipe for a feedless grow soil/soilless medium out there, start with (organic or not) base soil that has 3 wk - 1 mos supply of food (like FF OF) and then "super soil" it with added nutes (blood/bone/kelp meals, dolomite azomite etc.) and use the richer mix at bottom can...

Hi EM, thanks to you being here and the potential for contact it affords, I just bought a batch from you guys - guess I went all "royal" with a Royal Thai and three types from Royal Queen breeders (Fruit Spirit, their Special Queen, and indoor mix with a couple each of Critical and White Widow)...

^ You can focus on the negative (like many CEOs being grossly overpaid) or suggest a better alternative system. Government tweaking and social engineering programs use tax dollars to further some bureaucrat's agenda - which might or might not coincide with the "greater" good. But often the...

Hopefully anyone not a teen, a dropout, or the infirm, etc. aspires to greater things than a lifetime or a career at McDs. And for those who *do* choose a career, min. wage is a floor, a starting level, not a cap, and managers and GMs make a good deal more than min wage. Funny that a bunch...

Wait for the experts to opine, but I say "feed 'em". FFOF only has food for a month or so (3 weeks according to most, but that may be because most add perlite/vermiculite). That's a big plant for the pot, so it may have already eaten the organic nutes in the FFOF. Why did you start the...

I bought (and have now used) 20 of the 1 gallon microkote (copper) thanks to UB's post on the spin out - online about $3 ea delivered. When it was time to transplant they each slid out pretty easily with just a bit of tapping. I didn't poke around to check how dense the roots were, too afraid...

^ That might lead to a security risk. ;) Based on popular demand, a full 100% of replies !, they're granted a stay of execution for at least a week, although they don't get bigger pots to grow in, and they'll be relegated to catch whatever rays are available at the fringe. When it's time to...

Thanks a lot, guys. It's already gonna be tight with 15 big pots (2.5 - 6 gallons). The bagseed were never expected to grow like real plants. But the genetic seeds are what I'm in the grow for. It's my first grow and I'm already juggling more variables than I think I can keep up with. My...

Need to make space, and time to upcan soon. Grew six amazing bagseed (amazing compared to my first 46 bagseeds before these six). Will keep three out of six bagseed. Topped three, and already pulled one of the three that were topped, the smallest of them by far. I'l probably keep the other...

Next week will probably be time to up-size the plants. Those in 1 gal Microkote will go to 2.5 gallon (3 plants). [5 g.] Those in 2 gal untreated will jump to 4 gal pots (4 plants). [7.5 g.] The seedlings (5 genetic seeds, 6 bagseed that grew big, 11 total) will need 1 gal Microk. or 2 gal...

Just noticed that I have to invite comments o/w members can't post in the thread. My whole point in posting is to learn and let others benefit if I have anything useful to share. Please, any and all comments are welcome !

When I topped my 3 genetic plants (AK48, Afghan, and hybrid) I also tried to root the tops as clones (three sprouts). And I cut three 'suckers' from the bottom of the big girl to make the cloning experiment more worthwhile (three sprouts). Cloned in light warrior, with dynagro rooting gel...

~13 days after germination Around 16 days after germination, just before transplant up to either 1 gal Microkote, or 2 gal untreated pots. 23 days after germination, a few days after transplant (a few bagseed stragglers in green floodpots) and the big girl homegrown from my second post to...
